:24:04
They're not gonna hang me, major.
:24:09
I never raped that evil slut. . .
:24:13
. . .or any other creature.
:24:16
The Lord gave me that woman
and told me to chastise her.
:24:19
Then he told you to beat her
to death, huh?
:24:21
I only do what I'm called on to do.
:24:26
I was in a state of grace.
And that woman. . .
:24:31
. . .she tried to soil my spirit.
:24:33
Well, I'm sure you were, Maggott.
:24:35
But it seems to me I remember
a quotation that goes like:
:24:38
Vengeance is mine.
:24:42
Vengeance is mine.
I will repay, sayeth the Lord.
:24:46
Paul to the Romans, Chapter 12.
:24:50
Exactly. Now, isn't that
supposed to mean. . .
:24:53
. . .that we leave punishment
of the transgressors to his hands?
:24:56
That's right, major.
That's exactly what it means.
:25:00
But it doesn't restrict him to the kind
of tools he would use, now does it?
:25:05
And like I told you, major,
I only do what I'm called on to do.
:25:10
You know, Maggott, I don't think
you're going to hang after all.
:25:15
I think a man like you is destined
for higher things. Guard.
:25:24
Besides, us Southern boys have
to stick together now, don't we?
:25:36
I sure didn't mean to kill that fella.
:25:39
But you do like I say,
and maybe they won't hang you.
:25:42
Fixing to kill me some other way?
:25:45
It might not come to that.
:25:48
I reckon the folks would be a sight
happier if I died like a soldier.
:25:55
Can't say I would.
:25:57
Who does this hotshot major
think he is?
