Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
[at Meacham's trading post]
Captain Yorke:
No troop or squadron or regiment's gonna keep the Apaches on this reservation unless they want to stay here. Five years ago we made a treaty with Cochise. He and his Chiricahuas and some of the other Apache bands came on the reservation. They wanted to live here in peace... and DID for two years. And then Meacham, here, was sent by the "Indian Ring"...
Silas Meacham:
That's a lie! I've been endorsed...
Captain Yorke:
The dirtiest, most corrupt political group in our history. And then it began: whiskey but no beef; trinkets instead of blankets; the women degraded; the children sickly; and the men turning into drunken animals. So Cochise did the only thing a decent man could do... he left. Took most of his people and crossed the Rio Bravo into Mexico.
Silas Meacham:
He broke his treaty.
Captain Yorke:
Yes, rather than stay here and see his nation wiped out.
Silas Meacham:
The law is the law and I DEMAND that you soldier boys enforce it!
Lt. Col. Thursday:
Any demands you wish to make, you will make through official channels, Mr. Meacham. Do not again employ that word in my presence.
Silas Meacham:
No offense, sir, no offense.
