I don't like the looks of that sky.
I don't like the looks of this river.
So we could be in for a cloudburst.
I never did like this old river.
It's ornery and it's cussin'.
About 50 more wagons.
I ain't never gonna get out of here.
I never did like this old river.
It's ornery and it's cussin'.
About 50 more wagons.
I ain't never gonna get across tonight.
It's ornery and it's cussin'.
I never did like this old river.
Walk me through that storm.
I tell you what.
Always had nightmares about this river,
even in San Francisco.
You give me river anytime with rocks and falls
and at least you can see what you're up against.
Take the river like this,
it's just as deceiving as a no-account-woman.
You never know what you're up against.
What are you mumbling about?
Nothing, nothing.
You remember the horner wagon, don't you!?
Yes.
It went down right over there.
I know that.
We couldn't save the horners
and we couldn't save the stark.
I know that, but that's five years ago.
They could bust loose any minute.
Leave them ghosts?
Of course not.
I don't either, but this river is handed.
Handed my foot.
The Indians call it the devil river, don't they?
Halfway across now.
I'll sure be glad when we get across.
Those wagons are gonna have to cross in the morning,
that's for sure.
I'm glad it's them instead of me.
Charlie, take my horse and back to the other side
and hold up the rest of the wagons.
Tell the folks they can come across tomorrow morning.
Go back? We're halfway across.
Why can't they come across now?
Because it's too hard to see quicksand in the dark.
Oh, darn it.
McCullough's due back tonight.
He can bring them across in the morning.
Well, suppose he don't get back.
Then you bring them across.
Me cross that river?
Charlie, now why don't you just stop arguing?
McCullough will be back.
Hey, listen, McCullough doesn't always get
where he's supposed to when he's supposed to.
You know that.
Oh, go on now.
Quit your arguing, will you?
Oh, darn it.
You're getting farther away from that bank all the time.
Major, it's almost dark.
That's why I'm trying to get you to hurry.
Oh, darn it.
Tell Flint we'll wait for you at Three Pines.
I never thought you'd dump me off in the middle of a river,
and especially this old river.
Oh, don't be such a crybaby.
You've been across this river a dozen times
and you're still alive enough to complain about it, aren't you?
Now, go on. Get out of here. Go on.
Go, but I don't want to.
Yeah, get up there.
Up, up.
That blasted river.
That blasted major, too.
Ha!
That blasted river.
You all right, Charlie?
I'm all wet.
You always were.
Oh, Buck, get out of here.
Oh, foul garnet.
I knew it was going to open up any minute.
Come on, get out of here. Ha!
Come on.
Come on.
What happened?
White soldiers.
Soldiers?
Our warrior's gone.
No one to fight.
Don't talk.
I'll see if I can help you.
It's too late.
Are you sure about the soldiers?
Do you not think I know my murderer?
Do you not think that Doc Eagle will know?
I am Wyatt.
I am Wyatt.
Doc Eagle.
Doc Eagle.
Drink up, Evans.
Yes, sir. A very hard night.
I always said if I had an Indian post, I'd know how to handle them.
The minute there's an incident, you hit right at them.
And hit hard.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
I understand you're the new officer in charge of this post.
I'm Colonel Buckner.
Colonel.
I've just come from the Comanche village.
Oh?
Do you know that you murdered over a hundred women and children?
I thought it was closer to two hundred.
Why did you attack the village?
The Comanches murdered one of my officers this morning.
I see.
How long have you been out west, Colonel?
A week.
You've got a lot to learn about Indians.
The Comanches have a lot to learn about me.
Did you know we had a treaty with them?
A treaty that allows them to kill United States Army officers?
A treaty that guarantees the peace,
that says that our differences will be arbitrated.
I don't arbitrate the murder of one of my officers.
It took twenty years to get that treaty,
and you wipe it out in one week.
How dare you come into my post and criticize me?
How many men do you command, Colonel?
That's a military secret!
Well, I'll tell you a hundred. Exactly a hundred.
Have you any idea how many Braves, Dark Eagle commands?
I'm not afraid of Comanches.
If you live long enough, you will be.
This arrow was taken off the body of my officer,
and it stays on my desk to remind me just how he died.
You killed a hundred Comanches because of this arrow?
And I'd kill two hundred more if I had to.
You've got more to learn than I realize, Colonel.
This isn't a Comanche arrow.
It's Kiowa.
Kiowa.
Kiowa.
Keep up the fire, Red!
Keep it up!
Kill those savages!
The Major has no right to leave us like this.
The Major didn't think it was safe for any more wagons to cross tonight.
I sure wouldn't want to go out there.
Well, if the Major wasn't going to cross us, he should have come back and told us what to do.
He sent me to do that.
Well, sending you ain't the same thing.
I don't feel safe without the Major.
I don't blame you, ma'am, but I'll do the best I can.
McCullough's due to join us tonight, and the Major wants him to lead the rest of the train across tomorrow.
McCullough?
Yeah, McCullough, that's our scout.
Well, what are we supposed to do in the meantime?
Well, make yourself some supper and get yourself a good night's sleep.
Sure, and all the time that river keeps rising.
As long as the river's out there and you're here, I think you'll be all right.
With rain like this, there's no telling what that river's going to be like in the morning.
There's nothing we can do about the rain, Mr. Moore.
We'll just wait till the morning and see.
Well, I don't like it.
I got a half a mind to start out right now.
Oh, Jesus, I'd be afraid.
That river's full of sandbars.
You can't even see the markers.
That's why the Major stopped the crossing tonight.
Well, why didn't the Major come back with you?
Because McCullough's going to be here.
He knows more about the river than all of us.
Oh, McCullough.
If McCullough's supposed to be here, why isn't he here?
What kind of an outfit's the Major running?
Don't you worry about the Major.
Let's go.
Booster?
Oh, I didn't know anybody was up, but me.
I'm just catching a little water to make some coffee.
Boy, this is the hardest rain we've hit.
This ain't no rain, Tom.
This is a flash flood.
You're glad we didn't try to cross that river tonight.
No sign of McCullough?
No, but he'll be here.
What if he doesn't get here?
Well, I'll take you across myself.
Boy, I hope he gets here.
Me too.
Evening, Charlie.
The river will be ready in just a minute, Major.
Where is the Major?
Just across the coffee.
That's a good place for him.
I'm sorry, Charlie, but I gotta wake you up.
Yes, Major. Yes, Ma...
McCullough! I knew you'd get back.
Where is the Major?
He's across the river with half the train.
You're gonna take the rest across in the morning.
You wake everybody up. We're leaving right now.
Wait just a minute.
You better take a look at that river first.
Come on, Charlie.
Come on. Forward.
Come on.
I see what you mean, Charlie.
Hard to figure that a river could rise that much in such a few hours.
Well, this has always been a dangerous river.
You remember that Horner wagon, don't you?
Remember it? I'm the one that tried to pull it out.
Hey, is that a piece of wagon floating down, Fleet?
No, it's a log.
But what of this height, Charlie? You can't see the markers.
We'll never know where the quicksand is.
Sure is dark, ain't it?
It sure is, Charlie.
Are you McCullough?
That's right.
Well, I'm Jabez Moore. Can you get us across that?
Not tonight.
What kind of an outfit is the major running?
Train split up half over here and half over there.
The major usually knows what he's doing.
Well, I want to get with the others.
I don't like this kind of business.
There's safety in numbers.
Suppose we was to get in trouble with the Indians.
You don't have to worry about that.
This is Comanche country. We got a treaty with them.
Well, I still want to get with the others.
The longer we wait, the worse this is going to be.
We got to wait till we can see where we're going.
Don't we, Flint?
That's right, Charlie.
What's the matter? Are you afraid?
Yeah, that's one way of putting it.
That's all we need.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know that river.
I know the major crossed here a few hours ago.
Now, why can't we?
Because we have to do what Flint says, that's why.
Because he's in charge.
Yeah, well, I'm going to talk to some of the others
and see what they got to say about that.
Yeah.
You better not fool around with that Flint too much, mister.
You'll find out you bit off more than you can chew.
Oh, my God.
Brokenfinger, scout of the Pawnee,
has come to warn his white brother.
The whole Comanche nation rides with Dark Eagle.
They will avenge their women and children.
I was at the village.
The Comanche burn army post.
Kill everyone there.
The whole post?
Now they ride toward the river.
They will be here by dawn.
To my brother, offered in friendship.
You looking for me, Mr. Moore?
I'm getting my family out of here.
I'm not waiting to be scout by the Comanches.
Moore.
Wake up, everybody.
Wake up, Indians.
Indians, wake up.
We got to cross the river before daybreak.
What do you want me to say?
Wake up, Indians.
Indians, wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Indians, Indians, wake up.
Shut up.
What's going on out here?
It's all right, Charlie.
Why don't you tell them what just happened?
Get back to your wagon, Moore.
The Comanches are on the war path.
They burned the army camp.
That's a lie.
No, I'm afraid that's true, Charlie.
You said we had a treaty with the Comanches.
The army broke the treaty.
They wiped out an entire village.
That shows you how much your treaties are worth.
And the Indians are going to wipe us out
if we don't get across that river.
You'll never get across the river tonight.
Why haven't we?
When we made it?
Not when it was like this.
Do you want the Comanches to get your women and children?
Do you know what's going to happen to them?
Can you guarantee their safety, McCullough?
I can't guarantee anything.
But I'm telling you, you'll never get across the river.
How are you going to avoid the quicksand
if you can't even see the markers?
I don't know, but I'm not waiting any longer.
I'm crossing.
Anybody that wants to come along with me
is more than welcome to it.
Anybody that wants to wait for the Comanches,
you're welcome to do that.
Thank you.
So it's true about the Comanche, huh?
Yeah, Charlie, I'm afraid it's true.
Well, then you can't blame the people for being afraid.
I don't blame them.
Well, you're not going to let him go out there, then.
How am I going to stop him?
I don't know.
You've got to do something.
What?
We've got a river in front of us,
and the Comanche's coming up behind.
We can't move in either direction.
Well, maybe we could try to cross the river.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Let's cross the river.
I saw what was left of a wagon train one time
after a Comanche attacked.
Then 20 years ago, I still remember what was left.
20 years ago, I was a kid tagging after Jim Bridger.
Dark Eagle was just a boy growing up.
I feel differently about endings
than Bridger did.
I hope that Dark Eagle feels differently
about it than his father.
What can change in 20 years?
Well, I hope so.
So do I.
Tell you one thing that isn't changing,
and that's the river.
Yeah, Comanches and that devil river.
That's a fine choice, ain't it?
My only chance is with the Comanches.
Hold on tight.
I'll say it again, Moore.
You haven't got a chance of crossing that river.
Get up!
Take it easy, boys.
Get up there.
Up.
Up.
Whoa!
Whoa!
All right, up in there.
Up.
Get up in there.
Get up.
Whoa, take it easy.
They're getting close to land.
Looks like they're gonna make it.
Looks like he's stuck in the quicksand.
He sure is.
Get me a horse, Charlie.
Patrick, we're gonna need some help.
If we go out there, we'll probably get stuck, too.
We wouldn't stand a chance out there.
He was a fool to go.
He should have listened to you.
Get up in there!
What's wrong, Davis?
We're stuck.
Get up!
Get up in there!
They can't move.
Help somebody!
We're sinking!
Get up in there!
Help!
Help somebody!
Get up!
Get up!
Hold on, Ellis.
Whoa.
I can't take a chance with the quicksand, Charlie.
I'm gonna swim for it.
You stay here.
If I don't come back, don't come after me.
Good luck, Clayton.
Rock the reins.
Don't let them fight.
Just go deeper.
Get up in there.
Rock the reins.
Do what he says.
Rock the reins.
Why doesn't he come up?
Maybe he's caught down there.
You have to jump.
You're sinking fast.
Your only chance is to swim out.
I'll help the lady.
Charlie, throw a rope to the boys.
You have to swim out.
Grab the rope, boys.
Hold on.
Hold on to it.
All right.
Jump, boys.
Come on, boys.
Come on, boys.
Come on, boys.
You all right?
Yeah.
Come on, Buck.
Sit right there now.
Help!
I can't make it.
You all right?
All right, Buck.
Let's go.
Come on, Buck.
Come on.
Help!
Help!
Is she all right?
She's gonna be.
All right, folks.
You might as well go back to your wagons.
Nobody else is gonna try to cross that river tonight.
I brought you some hot broth, Mrs. Moore.
You're good to drink as much as you can.
Javis.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Moore.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, Dick.
No.
You still got your boys.
No.
No.
No.
Javis.
Javis.
You fellas look after your mother.
She needs you.
Javis.
Javis.
Javis.
Javis.
Javis.
Javis.
Javis.
Javis.
Flint, there's someone in your wagon to see you.
I had nowhere else to go.
Ironic, isn't it?
You can't stay here.
Where else?
That's your problem.
My problem is the responsibility of the lives of every person on this train.
Do you have any idea what the Comanches would do to us if they found you here?
Colonel Buckner, please, sir, let me explain this.
This is between McCull and me.
He's not gonna turn us out.
I have no other choice.
I'm a white man, and I'm in trouble.
We're all in trouble, thanks to you.
Do you know that a hundred men lost their lives tonight
standing between the Indians and this train?
Thanks to you.
All right.
I made a mistake. I admit it, and I'm sorry for it.
I'm sorry, Colonel. It's too late to be sorry.
My officer was dead.
He was killed right outside that Comanche village.
How was I to know that they didn't do it?
You're in command.
It's your job to know.
I had a hundred men in my garrison.
A hundred men to maintain law and order.
A hundred against thousands.
I had to teach those Indians a lesson.
You haven't taught them very well.
They're burning the countryside to the ground searching for you.
They're savages.
They had to be shown what would happen if they resisted.
Colonel, for 20 years, the Indians and the white people in this part of the country
have been looking for some kind of understanding.
And you've wiped it out in one single night.
Now, do you really expect me to risk the lives of the people on this train to save yours?
Lieutenant Bevan, let's not take up any more of the job.
I didn't know he was wounded.
He's lost a lot of blood.
You know how to take out a bullet?
Yes, sir.
Flint!
Well, you better take it out.
Jim just wrote in and said there's a large band of Indians coming our way.
Well, I understand the situation.
If you just help me get the colonel on his horse, I'll try to find someplace else.
It's too late for that, Lieutenant.
Charlie, get your kit.
Help the lieutenant take care of the colonel's wound.
Yes, Flint.
Lieutenant, it's a nasty wound.
Let's get his coat off.
You'll be comfortable here.
Shall I circle up the wagons and get ready for an attack?
Pass out the guns and the ammunition?
One man.
One stupid, thoughtless man.
We've got to do something.
And here we sit as helpless as Dark Eagle's village and just as innocent.
We've got to circle up and get ready to fight.
Buckner, when I think of all the people who have lost their lives
and all the people who are going to lose their lives because of Buckner, I could...
Why did we take that bullet out of him?
Why didn't we just let him die?
Why did they send him out here?
Why doesn't the army send somebody out here in charge of a post who knows what they're doing?
Well, you're in charge. You've got to tell us what to do.
What do you want me to tell you, Charlie?
Try to get across that river when you haven't got a chance?
Run for the woods and get cut down like so much wheat?
Or circle up 50 wagons and try to fight 5,000 men with 50 men?
What do you want me to tell you?
Before the treaty, this used to be one of the bloodiest stretches on the trail.
When I was a kid, Bridger used to tell me stories
about what the Comanches had done to the white men
and what the white men had done to the Comanches.
I guess Dark Eagle heard the same stories.
Well, maybe he saw for himself.
I wonder what he's thinking.
I've got to get out of here.
I've got to get out of here.
I've got to get out of here.
I wonder what he's thinking.
Of revenge?
And then the bloodshed and the hatred will all begin again
just because of some stupid...
Tim! Look!
Look!
Merciful Saint, we're done for now.
What are we going to do?
We can't circle now. We'll have to fight from behind the wagons.
We can't fight from behind the wagons. Look up there.
We're going to die. We're all going to die. Jabez was right.
Well, wait a minute and listen to me.
If we keep our heads, we've got a chance of coming out of this alive.
But if you panic, you're going to die right here.
What do you want us to do?
Nothing. Nothing?
That's what I said, nothing. I want you to go back to your wagons
and act as though everything is all right.
Have you lost your senses? We've got to put up a fight of some kind.
We haven't got a chance if we fight, and we're not going to fight.
I know more about Indians than you do, and they respect and admire courage.
We're going to meet Dark Eagle and his braves as though everything was all right.
Help us. We haven't got a chance at all.
That's what you're really trying to tell us, isn't it?
No, I'm telling you that we have a chance.
One, I'm gambling that we still have a treaty with Dark Eagle.
You're gambling with our lives. I'm gambling for them.
Well, the Comanches aren't keeping any treaties.
They've already burned down the army post.
We're not the army.
Now, let's try and convince ourselves that this is like any other night in peaceful territory.
Clint, Clint, look.
What are they going to do?
I don't know.
Well, what about those army officers?
Let's drag them out here and turn them over to the Comanches.
Look, they haven't attacked yet, but what do you think is going to happen to the train if they see the officers?
Well, what's going to happen if they find them here?
Maybe they won't find them.
Flint's right. We'd be fools to let the Indians know they're here.
Now, go on back to your wagons and trust me. That's what you pay me for. Trust me.
We have to trust him. It's all we can do.
There we are.
If we live, who lives?
You know, it's funny how a man can keep everything steady but his stomach.
Well, Charlie, maybe a cup of coffee will do us both good.
Good.
He's still unconscious.
Are you going to turn us over to them?
What would you do, Lieutenant?
I'm glad I don't have to make that decision.
If you go outside, change your clothes. I don't want them to spot the uniform.
They know we're here. You know that.
We haven't got a prayer.
If you know any prayers, you might say them.
We can use all the help we can get.
My first post.
I couldn't wait to get out here, see the West.
Now it doesn't look like I'm going to have any time to see it.
When did you come out?
Two weeks ago.
Two weeks, huh?
I never even saw an Indian till two weeks ago.
It's too soon to give up hope, Lieutenant. They haven't attacked yet.
I've heard tales about the Comanche skinning men alive.
Don't believe everything you hear.
It's easier.
Well, I've made my decision.
I wonder if Dark Eagle's made his.
I don't see no point in dying on an empty stomach.
No point in dying at all, Charlie, until it's time.
You know, my whole life has been passing before my eyes.
I just remember the $1.35 a whole bill hawks from the last two hand that we played.
Well, why don't you write out your will? You know, you've still got time.
I've been thinking about the quarrels I had with the Major, too.
I wish he was here so I could tell him I was sorry.
Well, maybe you still got a chance, Charlie.
I hate to think about dying without the Major here, too.
It just don't seem right.
You think that'll do, Lieutenant?
It's about the same.
They out there?
Yeah, they're out there.
McCullough, I don't want you to let them get me.
Look, my gun's over there.
I want you to shoot me.
You'd be doing both of us a favor.
You know I can't do that.
Lieutenant Bevins, I want you to shoot me.
You hear what I'm saying to you?
I'm ordering you to shoot me.
I'm your commanding officer. I order you to kill me.
No, sir. I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
Let me die.
Let me die quickly.
Oh, God.
Looks almost normal again.
Yeah, I think we can get across now.
Why don't we make a run for it?
Charlie, you know better than that.
Yeah, I suppose I do.
Be a friend and settle my horse away.
Yeah.
You folks gather around, please. I'd like to talk with you.
The river's down this morning.
I want you all to be ready to cross at noon.
What about the Comanches?
I'm gonna go talk to Dark Eagle right now.
Now, if I'm not back by noon,
Charlie Worcester leads you across the river.
You just do as he says and you'll be all right.
There's one thing I want you to remember.
Half the massacres that you've read about
happened because somebody got trigger-happy.
So even if the Comanches come down here,
keep your hands away from your guns.
Your lives may depend on it.
You mean we're supposed to stand by and let ourselves be killed?
No, of course I don't mean that.
But you people have to learn
that every Indian you see doesn't want to kill you.
But the Comanches are on the war path.
They haven't attacked us.
They attacked the army post.
They've got a score to settle with the army,
but as far as I'm concerned, we still have a treaty with them.
And if we fire first, we're breaking it.
Suppose they fire first.
Suppose they don't.
Let's operate on that supposition.
Why don't we turn the colonel over to him?
We risk our necks for him.
That's what I say.
We have our children to consider.
Turning the colonel over to the Indians
doesn't guarantee the safety of this train.
I want you people to be ready to cross at noon.
Thanks, Charlie.
Oh, uh, you better take care of this for me.
You sure you know what you're doing?
No, but I gotta find out what Dark Eagle really wants.
Dark Eagle!
Will Dark Eagle, Chief of the Comanches,
speak in friendship?
Dark Eagle!
Will Dark Eagle, Chief of the Comanches,
speak in friendship?
Dark Eagle!
Dark Eagle!
Dark Eagle comes in tribute
to the memory of his brother,
who has entered into a valley of death,
alone and unarmed.
The name of Flint McCullough is not unknown to us.
We are willing to hear what he has to say
in the name of friendship.
In friendship, I would remind the Chief of the Comanches
that he has a treaty with the white men.
It's a treaty, not ashes.
Was it not burned by the white man's army in our own village?
The blood of our women and children stained the earth.
The anger of Dark Eagle is just.
I can't deny that.
My people are dead because I trusted the white man.
Your village was destroyed because one man is a fool.
Dark Eagle knows that all men are not created
equal in wisdom, strength, or valor.
It is my hope that Dark Eagle is wiser than the white man,
that he will not answer fire with fire,
nor blood with blood.
How else can fire and blood be answered?
Today's revenge may well be tomorrow's execution.
I did not come for vengeance.
I came for justice.
Let me turn the colonel over to the army.
He will be tried and sentenced.
I am not here for your white man's justice.
I demand Comanche justice.
Your colonel has sinned against my people.
I will show the white army how we deal with those who betray us.
If Dark Eagle has his justice,
will he allow the wagon train to pass in safety?
We ask one life.
Give her to us and cross the river.
You ask for one life?
All right, I'll give you a life.
The colonel's life.
My own.
Kichipa!
Takanimo on the path!
Go!
You are an Indian scout.
I am chief of an Indian nation.
We each must do what we must do.
Don't move.
Stay where you are and keep quiet.
And try not to make a sound.
If my way seems cruel,
remember the cruelty of the dying voices of my village.
If my way seems savage,
remember I take one life and I spare 300.
If the lesson I would teach the army seems hard,
remember the lesson they came to teach me.
My braves have said to me,
kill their women and children.
Make them suffer as we are suffering.
But I have said to my braves,
today the whites are the savages.
We are not.
I understand.
If you do,
then there is still hope between both our peoples.
My heart weeps for my village
and for a life lost that was dear to my heart.
I know. I buried her.
I saw her grave with her name upon it.
And I wondered what friend had passed.
I will not forget.
Much has changed in 20 years.
And much is yet to change.
What good would it do to take your life?
What exchange?
To free a murderer and kill a friend?
You are needed.
You are a voice in the wilderness that speaks to all men.
I wish it was possible for you to show mercy.
I wish it was possible for you to show compassion.
I wish it was possible for you to show mercy.
I wish it was possible for you to show mercy.
I wish I could,
but I can see no way to show mercy and gain respect.
I must answer the army in the only language they understand.
But the lieutenant is not responsible
for what happened to your village.
That life I will give you.
The lieutenant will not be harmed,
but he will watch what happens to his colonel,
and then he will be set free to tell what he has seen.
I give you this,
and in between us,
you have shown courage that I must respect,
and you have shown kindness that I must honor.
Farewell. If the Great Spirit wills it,
we will meet again.
Farewell.
Well, we're free to go.
18 hours is a long time
to be trapped between the Comanches and the river,
but they've both subsided,
and we ought to be able to pull out in an hour.
I'm sorry about your husband, Mrs. Moore,
but as you know, it couldn't be helped.
And as for the colonel,
if any one of you had tried to stop the Comanches,
we'd all be dead.
And as for the colonel,
if any one of you had tried to stop the Comanches,
we'd all be dead.
What'll they do to him?
They'll kill him, deliver him to the nearest army post.
Same as cruelty, huh?
Yeah, there's cruelty in Dark Eagle.
Eagle, but we're alive because of his compassion.
He had every opportunity to avenge the cruelty of the colonel,
but he didn't do it.
He only asked what any court in this country would have given him,
and you folks who plan to settle in Indian country,
it's important that you remember
that we'll never have peace out here
until we realize that an Indian is a man,
not an animal.
We got a river to cross, haven't we, son?
Hurry, move him, move him!
Come on, row! Move him!
Hey, McCullough, what happened?
Did that little rain hold you up?
As usual, Major, you're absolutely right.
Come on, get up here!
Get out of here, boy!
Come on, row! Move him!
Come on, let's row!
Come on, let's row them!
Hey, come on!
Come on, row!
THE END
