• Pvt. John Sumter : Guess we'll be turnin' back, huh, Lieutenant.

  Lt. Adam King : Yep, as soon as we finish our mission.

  Pvt. John Sumter : I say we ought to turn back now. There's only three of us left.

  Lt. Adam King : You're out of line, soldier. Help Cullen with that shovel.

  Pvt. John Sumter : We keep goin' we'll be diggin' our own graves.

  Lt. Adam King : Sumter, you're buckin' for a court martial.

  Pvt. John Sumter : That's better than ending up like Major Evans.

  Lt. Adam King : I'm tellin' you for the last time... get to work!

  Pvt. John Sumter : Yes sir! But remember, Lieutenant, I aim to get back to that fort one way or another... and you gotta get back, too, before their can be a court martial.
