John Carter

John Carter2012



Dalton:
[after receiving Carter's telegraph, his nephew Edgar Rice Burroughs arrives at his estate to find out that Carter had died] His death came as a shock to all of us, he was a model of health and vigor. He just dropped dead in his study, not five minutes after sending word for me and the doctor. When I arrived he was already gone.

Dalton:
[Burroughs looks around at Carter's office in awe as he sees all the strange and exotic findings from all over the world] The man never stopped digging. All over the world. No sooner he started digging one hole then he was off to Jaava or the Orkney Islands digging another. He said it was pure research, but it always seemed to me like he was looking for something. Well, God granting, he's found it now.

Dalton:
[Burroughs picks up a photo of Carter and looks at it] Every inch a Cavalry man, to the very end.

Edgar Rice Burroughs:
My mother always said that Jack never really came back from the war. That it was only his body that went West. He used to tell me the most wondrous stories. [he turns to Dalton]

Dalton:
I'd like to pay my respects.
