1:53:01
- We will take brief refreshment.
- Dismount!
1:53:05
Water break!
1:53:17
Oh, excuse me, Lieutenant.
1:53:20
It's the celibacy of the saddle.
I had muscle spasms all night.
1:53:26
- Poison from the goonads.
- Poison from the what, sir?
1:53:30
Goonads. That's medical terminology.
1:53:33
General, it's my duty as your...
1:53:42
The poison rises from the goonads
and seeps down to the muscles.
1:53:48
The Crows want to know if you're
going down the Medicine Tail Coulee.
1:53:54
- They do, do they?
- Yes, sir, they do.
1:53:56
They claim they want time
to sing their death song.
1:54:01
Tell the Crows they're women.
1:54:04
But if the hostiles come in
behind us,...
1:54:07
...and if they're waiting for us below,
we'll never get out of there.
1:54:12
Hostiles behind us?
1:54:14
I see no hostiles behind us.
Do you see any?
1:54:17
- No, sir, not at the moment.
- Then...
1:54:19
...stop trying to cause a reversal
of a Custer decision.
1:54:24
But, sir, wouldn't it be best to send
a squad down Medicine Tail Coulee?
1:54:29
- No, it wouldn't.
- May I ask, sir, why it wouldn't?
1:54:35
Because it would cost us
the vital element of surprise.
1:54:39
Surprise?
They know we're here.
1:54:42
But they don't know that I intend
to attack them without mercy.
1:54:46
- That's no surprise.
- Of course it is.
1:54:49
Nothing is more surprising
than the attack without mercy.
1:54:54
General...
1:54:56
General, I must protest
this impetuous decision.
