Bowies' man: What are we doing here. I volunteered to fight, not build no fort. Why are we building a fort? Col. Bowie Because Houston told Travis, and Travis told m, and I'm tellin' you. Gen. Sam Houston Where's Jim Bowie? Capt. James Butler Bonham He's indisposed, sir. Gen. Sam Houston Indisposed? By God if you mean drunk, you say drunk, sir! Capt. James Butler Bonham He's drunk, sir! Travis' man Hey, Davy! Is it true that you and Mike Fink fought a three day fight on the Mississippi? Davy Crockett That's just an example of the tall tales folks tell about me! Me and Mike fought all right, but we quit at dark. It wouldn't of been the third day until the next morning! [laughs and rides off]
