Lt. Thomas Chamberlain
The boys from the 2nd Maine are being fed, Lawrence.
Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
Ye- Don't call me Lawrence.
Lt. Thomas Chamberlain
Darn it, Lawrence, I'm your brother.
Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
Well, just be careful about the name business in front of the men, alright? Just because you're my brother- It looks like favoritism.
Lt. Thomas Chamberlain
God Almighty, General Meade's got his own son as his aide-de-camp.
Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
Well, that's different. Generals can do anything. Nothing quite so much like God on Earth as a general on a battlefield.
Lt. Thomas Chamberlain
Well, what are you gonna do with 'em, huh, sir? Colonel, sir. You can't shoot 'em, you'll never go back to Maine if you do that.
Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
I know that, I know that. I wonder if they do.
Your government will never ally itself with a Confederacy that had the institution of slavery. You know that, and so do I.
