Playhouse 90

Colonel John Templeton:
When you've been out here as long as I have, you'll learn that there is no such thing as a peaceful Indian.

Captain Kingsley - Defense Attorney at Court-Martial:
Now, Colonel, the dictionary defines a battle as an engagement between two opposing hostile forces. Do you concur in that definition?

Colonel John Templeton:
I do.

Captain Kingsley - Defense Attorney at Court-Martial:
Would you then define a village of Indians; men, women and children, sleeping peacefully under the protection of a treaty, as an opposing hostile force?

Captain Kingsley - Defense Attorney at Court-Martial:
Defense has based its case on the contention that a state of war did not exist, that the accused could not possibly have given aid and comfort to enemy because there was no enemy; that what has been described as a condition of battle was in reality no battle at all, but a purposeful, successfully executed mass murder!

Narrator:
From that day on, Godfather Drosselmeyer's nephew is Clara's Prince, and Clara is his Princess.
