1:55:06
A Custer decision, impetuous?
1:55:10
Grant called me impetuous, too!
1:55:13
That drunkard, sitting there in the
White House, calling me impetuous!
1:55:19
General,
I implore you to reconsider.
1:55:23
Think of the men
whose lives depend upon you.
1:55:37
What should I do, mule skinner?
1:55:40
Sir, that man doesn't know anything.
1:55:43
What do you say, mule skinner?
1:55:46
Should I go down there, or withdraw?
1:55:52
I had him.
1:55:55
But this time what I held in my hand
wasn't a knife, but the truth.
1:56:01
Well?
1:56:03
What's your answer, mule skinner?
1:56:07
General,...
1:56:11
...you go down there.
1:56:17
- You're saying, go into the coulee?
- Yes, sir.
1:56:21
There are no Indians there,
I suppose?
1:56:24
I didn't say that.
1:56:26
There are thousands
of Indians down there,...
1:56:30
...and when they get done
with you,...
1:56:33
...there won't be nothing left
but a greasy spot.
1:56:36
This ain't the Washita River,
General,...
1:56:39
...and them ain't helpless women
and children waiting for you.
1:56:45
They're Cheyenne brave, and Sioux.
1:56:50
You go down there
if you got the nerve.
1:56:54
Still trying to outsmart me,
aren't you, mule skinner?
1:56:59
You want me to think that
you don't want me to go down there,...
