Pardue the Hotel Owner : This morning l heard the whole thing. They say Colonel Canby's closing in with his Northerners, and no later than tomorrow that they'll be in the city. That's why these Southerners are getting out! You see, as soon as these cowards hear there are blue shirts around, they run. These rebels have no will to fight.
Pardue's Wife : Poor things.
Pardue the Hotel Owner : They'll soon be finished. We get rid of these bastards... then we begin making money on those Yankees. They carry gold, not paper dollars. And they're going to beat the South. Look, see that one with the white beard sitting in the wagon? General Sibley. He looks dead. He's finally getting out of our hair.
[He starts cheering sarcastically at the Confederates]
Pardue the Hotel Owner : Hooray for Dixie! Hooray! Hooray for Dixie!
