Clear out before I drive you out.

Mr Colonel...

if there's any driving to do,

we'll do it.

Melavan, what's come over you?

The Lord told me that

if something's worth fighting for,

a body'd better fight.

Sergeant Lebbard,

have the bugler sound assembly.

Can't we have a truce?

- That depends.

The South has counterattacked.

We've lost this engagement.

The reports I have received prove

that the wrong man has been on trial

The evidence is overwhelming,

and some of it downright attractive.

Oh, thank you.

Lieutenant, we will need you

at the trial of Colonel Chivington

for the Sand Creek massacre.

Stella took your advice and stayed

behind to wait for her husband.

Lieutenant, thank you

and God bless you.

That was for the slap, Frank.

I made a good trade.

Thanks again.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'll never get used to you

without gun smoke on your face.

You'd better try, renegade.

Congratulations, Lieutenant.

Thank you, Nancy.

Ogden and I are gonna raise Nancy

to be a real lady, to square things.

I think that'll square

a lot of things. Good luck.

And good luck to you, too.
