Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

William Travis: I have here pieces of paper, letters from politicians and generals, but no indication of when, or if help will arrive. Letters not worth the ink committed to them. I fear that no one is coming. Texas has been a second chance for me. I expect that might be true for many of you as well. It has been a chance not only for land and riches, but also to be a different man. I hope a better one. There have been many ideas brought for in the past few months of what Texas is, and what it should become. We are not all in agreement. But I'd like to ask each of you what it is you value so highly that you are willing to fight and possibly die for. We will call that Texas. The Mexican army hopes to lure us into attempting escape. Almost anything seems better than remaining in this place, penned up. If, however, we force the enemy to attack, I believe every one of you will prove himself worth ten in return. We will not only show the world what patriots are made of, but we will also deal a crippling blow to the army of Santa Anna. If anyone wishes to depart under the white flag of surrender, you may do so now. You have that right. But if you wish to stay here with me in the Alamo, we will sell our lives dearly.

I have here pieces of paper,
00:00:06.044 --> 00:00:08.088
letters from politicians and generals,
00:00:09.924 --> 00:00:12.259
but no indication of when,
00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:15.262
or if, help will arrive.
00:00:19.976 --> 00:00:22.311
Letters not worth the ink committed to them.
00:00:26.231 --> 00:00:28.233
I fear that...
00:00:31.057 --> 00:00:32.738
no one is coming.
00:00:52.979 --> 00:00:55.097
Texas has been a second chance for me.
00:00:55.097 --> 00:00:58.847
I expect that might be true for many of you as well.
00:01:00.724 --> 00:01:04.001
It has been a chance not only for land and riches,
00:01:07.006 --> 00:01:08.899
but also to be a different man.
00:01:11.011 --> 00:01:13.999
I hope a better one.
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.999
There have been many ideas brought forth in the past few months
00:01:20.494 --> 00:01:22.245
of what Texas is
00:01:22.996 --> 00:01:24.999
and what it should become.
00:01:26.583 --> 00:01:28.999
We are not all in agreement.
00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:34.997
But I'd like to ask each of you
00:01:35.956 --> 00:01:37.005
what it is you value so highly
00:01:38.261 --> 00:01:43.005
that you are willing to fight and possibly die for.
00:01:46.812 --> 00:01:48.001
We will call that Texas.
00:01:50.044 --> 00:01:54.736
The Mexican army hopes to lure us into attempting escape.
00:01:54.736 --> 00:02:00.325
Almost anything seems better than remaining in this place, penned up.
00:02:02.494 --> 00:02:09.334
lf, however, we force the enemy to attack,
00:02:09.334 --> 00:02:12.999
I believe every one of you will prove himself worth ten in return.
00:02:14.756 --> 00:02:19.511
We will not only show the world what patriots are made of,
00:02:19.511 --> 00:02:22.001
but we will also deal a crippling blow to the army of Santa Anna.
00:02:26.268 --> 00:02:28.001
If anyone wishes to depart...
00:02:30.987 --> 00:02:31.815
under the white flag of surrender,
00:02:31.815 --> 00:02:33.001
you may do so now.
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:35.001
You have that right.
00:02:39.001 --> 00:02:43.452
But if you wish to stay here, with me,
00:02:44.953 --> 00:02:46.001
in the Alamo,
00:02:48.987 --> 00:02:50.126
we will sell our lives dearly.
00:03:59.999 --> 00:04:01.863
