A Gathering of Eagles1963

Col. Hollis Farr:
But what about this request for transfer?

Col. Jim Caldwell:
I never saw it.

Col. Hollis Farr:
Aw, come on! If you stall around on this, all he'll do is go to the Inspector General. Why go out on a limb?

Col. Jim Caldwell:
Out on a limb? How in the hell do you think I've been living since I took this job? What's wrong with going out on a limb, Hollis?

Col. Hollis Farr:
Don't get excited. I didn't mean it that way.

Col. Jim Caldwell:
Well, I'd like to know exactly what you did mean.

Col. Hollis Farr:
I... I just meant you should be careful the way you handle it.

Col. Jim Caldwell:
You leave this one with me. And if somebody saws off that limb it'll be my neck, not yours!
