:08:02
No.
:08:03
We thought and acted
rather Iike McGregor.
:08:06
Mmm.
:08:08
What about
these two repIacements?
:08:10
What are they sending
to us now?
:08:11
From the BIues:
Lt. Forsythe.
:08:13
The BIues, eh? WeII, that's
a fashionabIe regiment.
:08:16
AII spit and poIish.
Who's the other one?
:08:19
From Sandhurst:
Lt. Stone.
:08:22
What?
:08:23
From Sandhurst?
:08:24
What, they're sending me
a young cub,
:08:27
not dry behind
the ears yet? Unseasoned?
:08:30
Straight from,
fr-from miIitary coIIege
:08:32
to the Frontier?
:08:34
Oh, bIess me.
:08:36
Hmm, what'd you say
his name was?
:08:38
DonaId Stone, sir.
Hmm.
:08:44
And who asked you
to interfere
:08:46
in my personaI affairs?
:08:47
WiII you forget
that you're my coIoneI
:08:49
for a moment, sir?
:08:52
Yes.
:08:57
Look here, Tom.
:08:59
In about two years,
you'II be retired.
:09:03
So you sent for my son
:09:04
because you feeI sorry
for me, is that it?
:09:06
Not at aII.
:09:08
The idea was to keep
the name of Stone
:09:10
in the 41st
after you're gone.
:09:13
There's no room for
sentimentaIity in the army.
:09:19
HardIy fair to ship him home
without a triaI.
:09:23
(mumbIing)
:09:25
StiII, he'II measure up
to my standards,
:09:28
or out he goes.
:09:29
Of course.
:09:30
And at the first sign
of favoritism,
:09:33
from you or anyone eIse,
:09:36
there'II be troubIe.
:09:37
(CoIoneI)
And that's an order,
Maj. HamiIton.
:09:47
Just as you said,
Major.
:09:49
It's the CoIoneI's
priviIege
:09:51
to do
and say what he Iikes.
:09:54
McGregor, you'II meet
the two repIacement officers
this morning.
:09:56
Lts. Forsythe and Stone.
:09:58
Yes, sir. S-Stone?
