:26:00
If you hadn't held the flank today,
we'd have been whipped for fair.
:26:05
Sherman, let's sit down a minute.
There's somethin' I wanna say to you.
:26:11
Lantern.
:26:18
You may find yourself in command here.
:26:20
Why?
:26:22
I've seen some of the dispatches
the newspaper correspondents...
:26:26
...have filed today.
:26:28
They're sayin' I was taken by surprise
this morning.
:26:31
You weren't taken by surprise.
:26:34
I was.
:26:35
No matter.
:26:37
They're sayin'...
:26:40
...I was drunk again last night.
:26:45
Were you?
:26:49
No.
:26:51
But you can't fight front and rear.
:26:54
Win or lose, tomorrow...
:26:57
...I intend to resign.
:27:00
Because of the newspapers?
:27:05
Because of the general
lack of confidence in me.
:27:09
Don't you think I've ever felt like that?
:27:11
A month ago they were sayin'
I was crazy. Insane.
:27:15
And now they're callin' me a hero.
Hero or crazy, I'm the same man.
:27:19
It doesn't matter what the people think.
:27:22
It's what you think, Grant.
:27:26
You mean that's Grant?
:27:30
I reckon.
:27:31
General Grant.
:27:34
You know this war is gonna be won
in the West and how to win it.
:27:37
Everything you've done proves it.
:27:40
And I say that a man has the right
to resign only if he's wrong.
:27:46
Not if he's right.
:27:49
I guess I never thought of it that way.
:27:54
I'll think it over.
:27:56
What is there to think about?
:27:58
The Army's better off with you
than without you. That's the test.
