Major Cabot Forbes: Why do you treat the men this way, Robert?
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: How should I treat them?
Major Cabot Forbes: Like men? And what about Thomas? Why are you so hard on him?
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: He's not a very good soldier. I'm getting these men ready for battle.
Major Cabot Forbes: Robert. They're already good as the 7th ever was. They march well, they're disciplined.
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: No thanks to you.
Major Cabot Forbes: I beg your pardon?
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: You heard me.
Major Cabot Forbes: Who do you think you are, acting the high-up colonel?! You seem to forget, I know you. And so does Thomas. [Forbes starts to walk off]
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: Forbes! If you don't believe in what we're doing here, maybe you shouldn't be part of it.
Major Cabot Forbes: Part of what? Huh?! [imitating Mulcahy] "Left, right! Left, right! Little finger along the seams of yer trousers!" Marching is probably all they'll ever get to do, Robert.
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: It is my job... to get these men ready. And I will. They have risked their lives to be here, they have given up their freedom. I owe them as much as they have given. I owe them my freedom... my life if necessary. Maybe so do you, Cabot. I think you do. [Cabot bows mockingly and walks off]
