lieutenant.  izat you?
what're you doing here lieutenant?
you went to hospital?
better come to cover lieutenant.  those boys are shooters.
what's goin' on here.  seems to be the question alright.  you could ask the major but he don't know. he's busy tryin' to figger out how come the officer's mess run outta peach ice cream.
general's come up to see the show but all he knows is there ain't no show.
we started a balloon up but they shot her down fore she was ten feet off the ground.  so nobody's made a run either way. it's been a stand- off all damn day.  and now.  the major, he's lookin' at the general and he's thinkin' i better do somethin', and you know what that means.
they're 'sposed to be beat up just like us but everybody knows that tucker's men are tough as cobs. i sure don't wanna die out there with them cows.
some of the boys are sayin' that if we ain't gonna fight we could just settle the whole business with a little high stakes poker. wouldn't that be a sight.  a bunch of fellas sittin' in the middle of this field drawin' cards.
