:30:02
You'll excuse me, gentlemen.
:30:13
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart
reporting for duty.
:30:16
Colonel Stuart.
:30:18
- Thas an impeccable hat, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
:30:22
- Colonel Stuart. You use tobacco?
- No, sir. Not in any form.
:30:28
Neither do I. I find I like it too much.
:30:33
Sit down.
:30:36
I understand from your record that
you are West Point, class of '54.
:30:40
Served since in the cavalry,
Ft. Clark, Texas.
:30:43
Operations against Apache,
Comanche. You are a native Virginian.
:30:48
Fought with Longstreet and Ewell, sir.
:30:51
Nasty business. Merciless climate.
:30:56
Glad to be home, sir.
:30:59
The Apache were defending their
homes, as we will be defending ours.
:31:03
If we fight as well as the Apache,
I pity the Yankee invader.
:31:08
Colonel Stuart, if I had my way we
would show no quarter to the enemy.
:31:13
No more than the redskins showed your
troopers. The black flag, sir.
:31:18
If the North triumphs, it is not alone
the destruction of our property.
:31:22
It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity...
:31:25
...the loss of free
and responsible government.
:31:28
It is the triumph of commerce.
The banks, factories.
:31:32
We should meet the invader on
the verge of just defense...
:31:35
...and raise the black flag. No quarter to
the violators of our homes and firesides.
:31:42
Our political leadership is too timid to
face the reality of this coming war.
:31:46
They should look to the Bible.
It is full of such wars.
:31:51
Only the black flag will bring the North
to its senses and rapidly end the war.
:31:57
Well, colonel.
