:30:00
Hey, look at this!
:30:01
The 7th regiment has made
the front page...

:30:03
...of the New York Herald".
:30:06
Listen to this.
:30:08
"Lmpeachment proceedings
have been taken by Congress...

:30:11
...against Secretary of War
Belinknapp...

:30:13
...because of General Custer's
testimony.

:30:16
Belinknapp has already
tendered his resignation".

:30:18
Can you imagine that?
The Secretary of War?

:30:21
Listen to this, sir.
:30:23
"Orville Grant, brother of
President Ulysses S. Grant...

:30:26
...was accused
by General Custer...

:30:28
...of accepting
a $1,000 bribe.

:30:30
- Where?
- Here.

:30:33
Brother's President.
:30:36
Custer really knows to hit 'em
where it hurts, don't he?

:30:38
Obvious.
:30:39
I wonder what happens
to the General now?

:30:41
I'll tell you what happens
to Custer.

:30:44
The big brass won't kick him out
of the Army.

:30:46
He's too popular for that now.
:30:48
They got their own way
of handling this guy.

:30:51
You know what they'll do?
:30:52
They'll probably send him off
to Europe to count...

:30:55
...the horses in the Russian
Army. Or just leave him...

:30:58
...on suspension indefinitely
without pay...

:31:01
...until he rots.
:31:03
He'll just sit around,
knock on doors...

:31:05
...write letters,
eat his heart out...

:31:08
...and finally he'll wind up
in some hotel lobby...

:31:10
...talking to strangers...
:31:12
...telling them what a big man
he used to be.

:31:15
And it will serve him right.
:31:30
Cold enough?
:31:32
- Did you go for a walk?
- No.

:31:34
I got as far as the lobby.
:31:37
Better there he started
explaining to me...

:31:39
...about the Battle
of Gettysburg...

:31:41
...so I explained to him
about the Battle of Gettysburg.

:31:47
Was there any mail?
:31:50
- Yes, there was a letter.
- War Department?

:31:54
No, from Father.
