[the night before the battle, Custer asks Butler to take his last letter back to Fort Lincoln] Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Why are you asking me to go back with it? George Armstrong Custer:
Well, for one thing you're an Englishman, not an American. Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Not an American! What do you Yankees think you are? The only REAL Americans in this merry old parish are on the other side of the hill with feathers in their hatr. George Armstrong Custer:
You're probably right about that. But there's 6,000 of them... and less than 600 of us. The regiment's being sacrificed, Butler, and I wouldn't want to see a foreigner butchered in a dirty deal like this, Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Sporty of you to think of it that way. But I'll remind you, sir, I'm a member of the mess of the Seventh U.S. Cavalry. Fancy walking into the Service Club in Picadilly if the regiment... Get somebody else to post your blinking letter! George Armstrong Custer:
