You know what it is and I'm entitled to keep it. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
Your license may permit you to keep a medicinal store of whiskey, but this is no whiskey. Silas Meacham:
Perhaps you're not used to frontier whiskey. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
I don't know... I've tasted most everything. [to Sgt. Mulcahy] Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:

Tell me what you make of this. First Sgt. Festus Mulcahy:
[takes a drink - makes a face at Meacham - takes another drink]
