:21:10
I commend you, sir.
:21:12
Captain pratt, tenth cavalry.
:21:14
Robert wheeler.
:21:17
Allow me to say, mr. Wheeler,
:21:19
that you are the exception
that proves the rule.
:21:22
And what rule is that, captain?
:21:24
I find the majority of traders
to be unprincipled, unscrupulous rogues.
:21:29
A pack of veritable scoundrels,
:21:31
if you don't mind my saying so.
:21:33
That's a fine sentiment
:21:35
coming from a man who makes widows
and orphans his stock and trade.
:21:40
Call me a rogue?
:21:42
Perhaps we both are, mr. Wheeler.
:21:45
We've denied these people fraternity.
:21:46
We've driven them from
their ancestral homes.
:21:49
It just costs the people of our government
:21:50
hundreds of millions of dollars
:21:52
and led to the present shameful impasse.
:21:54
Just can't stop progress, captain.
:21:58
What is progress but what men do?
:22:02
Most men do what they will,
:22:04
others what they deem to be right.
:22:07
Where do you stand, mr. Wheeler?
:22:10
Well, to be honest with you, sir,
sometimes I'm not so sure.
:22:14
Now that is a promising
beginning to a man's education.
:22:19
Good day, mr. Wheeler.
:22:26
This is the best I can do for you.
:22:28
Rations are the first of every month.
:22:30
No. We will not beg.
:22:32
You suit yourself.
:22:34
But you be damn sure you and
these other squaws stay put.
:22:37
Orders went out
:22:39
that any indian that's not on agency land
by january 31 will be considered hostile.
:22:46
Are you savvy?
:22:47
We will not make trouble for you.
:22:49
Well, you already have.
:22:55
this is our home now
