Phoebe Frost:
Colonel Plummer, In your eloquent speech, which I'm sure you've made 50 times, you used the phrase "Some of our boys may get out of line sometimes." That, gentlemen, is a masterpiece of understatement. Col. Rufus J. Plummer:
What are you driving at, Miss Frost? Phoebe Frost:
In your admirable effort to civilize this country, our boys are rapidly becoming barbarians themselves. Col. Rufus J. Plummer:
I explained on that tour... Phoebe Frost:
Yes, I know all about those tours. You put blinkers on us. You maneuver us around. You make sure we only see what you want us to see. Then you give us pamphlets, statistics, and a rousing speech and ship us back a little more bamboozled than when we came. We could have stayed at home and learned as much from Reader's Digest
