Arrow In the Dust

Maj. Andy Pepperis:
Gambler, gunfighter and now deserter?

Bart Laish:
Yeah

Maj. Andy Pepperis:
I looks like you added color to the list.

Christella Burke:
We're not moving?

Bart Laish:
Yes.

Christella Burke:
Tonight?

Bart Laish:
Tonight.

Christella Burke:
But we can't Major.

Bart Laish:
Why not?

Christella Burke:
The trip will be too hard on the wounded soldiers.

Bart Laish:
Miss Burke, back where I came from there happened to be dead soldiers.

Maj. Andy Pepperis:
It doesn't matter what you've been or what you've done. There must still be some good left in you. Or have you changed so much, Bart?

Bart Laish:
It's clearly common knowledge out here that most Indians do not like to fight at night. An Indian killed at night, they believe, wanders forever in darkness.

Bart Laish:
But after your father died, why didn't you go back home?

Christella Burke:
Delaware is small. It's crowded with too many memories.
