Rebel soldier Peach pie! Little Jess Birdwell It's rattlesnake pie. Rebel soldier Best rattlesnake pie I ever tasted. Jess Birdwell I'm just his father, Eliza, not his conscience. A man's life ain't worth a hill of beans except he lives up to his own conscience. Jess Birdwell I don't want to die. I don't think I could kill anyone if I tried. But I have to try, so long as other people have to.
