800 or 900 of them,
and they're getting ready to strike.
00:00:03.524 --> 00:00:06.611
We've gotta strike first.
I'm glad the major sent you--
00:00:06.777 --> 00:00:09.196
He didn't send me. I'm not on duty.
00:00:09.363 --> 00:00:11.574
Then the orders haven't been changed? We--
00:00:11.741 --> 00:00:13.492
Orders are orders, sir.
00:00:14.577 --> 00:00:16.704
For the next four hours,
00:00:16.871 --> 00:00:20.041
according to my brand-new
sliver watch and chain,
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.919
I'm an officer
in the United States Cavalry.
00:00:24.795 --> 00:00:28.883
If I gave you a written order, Flint,
would you obey it?
00:00:29.001 --> 00:00:31.093
I don't need a written order from you, sir.
00:00:31.302 --> 00:00:32.887
Nevertheless, you're gonna get it.
00:00:33.002 --> 00:00:35.765
Might come in handy at our court-martial.
00:00:35.931 --> 00:00:38.003
- Sergeant Tyree?
- Yes, sir.
00:00:38.184 --> 00:00:41.687
I'm ordering you to volunteer again.
Fetch a guidon.
00:00:41.854 --> 00:00:45.149
Yes, sir. Guidon!
00:00:46.567 --> 00:00:51.028
Remain here. Take no action till I return.
If I don't, those are your orders.
