Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
[upon entering General Custer's tent]
You sent for me sir?
George Armstrong Custer:
Yes, Butler. I want you to take this letter in to Fort Lincoln, tonight.
Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Me, tonight?
George Armstrong Custer:
Tonight - it's important.
Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Must be. If it needs your bally adjutant to play postman at a time like this. 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 very old parish are on the other side of the hill with feathers in their hair.
George Armstrong Custer:
You're probably right about that. But there's 6000 of them, less than 600 of us. The regiment's being sacrificed, Butler. I wouldn't want to see a foreigner butchered in a dirty deal like this.
Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Sporting of you to think of it that way. But I'll remind you, sir, I am a member of the mess of the 7th US Calvary.
[inserts monocle]
Lt. "Queen's Own" Butler:
Fancy walking into the service club in Picadilly with the regiment. Get somebody else to post your blinking letter.
George Armstrong Custer:
Thanks Queen's Own. Just so long as you know. I'll get someone else.
