Col. John Henry Thomas:
[Thomas has just learned that the war ended several days before] Major, I've just received word that Lee surrendered to Grant three days ago.

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
Yes, sir.

Col. John Henry Thomas:
You knew it?

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
We received the news yesterday.

Col. John Henry Thomas:
I don't think you understand, Major, the war is over.

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
NO, sir.

Col. John Henry Thomas:
Are you telling me that you intend to keep fighting?

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
Haven't we just proven it, sir?

Col. John Henry Thomas:
But why?

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
Because this is our land, and you're on it.

Col. John Henry Thomas:
We're all Americans.

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
Yes, sir... that's always been the saddest part of it.

Col. John Henry Thomas:
Good day, sir.

Maj. Sanders, CSA:
Colonel, thank you for your courtesy.
