One rifle, one pint.

Two rifles, two pints.

Three rifles...

If you dont like these terms

and you still want the water...

...then you must come and get it.

Fire!

Frenchie was right.

- Bayonets, gun butts, fists.

How long can four of us

I have to admit,

it sounds impossible...

...but we got to do it.

Somebody will have to work a miracle.

A miracle?

What kind of a miracle?

You got me there, Doc.

Four of us holding off

several hundred of them...

...is nothing short of a miracle.

You know why were able to do it?

Because were stronger than they are.

What do you mean?

I dont mean in numbers.

I mean something else.

Those men out there

have never known...

...the dignity of freedom.

- Lll try.

Youve got to. Come on.

Hes an American.

That was a close one.

They got the well.

Bulls-eye in the well.

No difference.

As the saying goes,

lt was fun while it lasted.

I wonder what it feels like.

- What?

- Cold steel.

They tell me its over pretty quick.

I never did tell you

what my first name was.

No, what is it?

Osmond.

Right, its a funny name.

Thats okay.

Hope somebody finds this.

Finds what?

- My tag.

- Why?

If they dont find it,

If they do find it, lm dead.

If lm missing,

nobody will know lm dead.

If lm dead,

nobody will know lm missing.

I might as well be dead.

Here they come.

It looks like theyre all

coming this time.

Okay, Osmond, this is it.

Why dont they finish it?

Come on and take us!

There it is!

Roll in it, swim in it!

Drink till it rolls out

of your ears. Go ahead!

Drink till it splits your guts.

Its full of water.

The shells opened up the well.

Its a blooming miracle.

Thats just what it is.
