A scene from Gettysburg 1993
Lt. Thomas Chamberlain

[to a wounded General Armistead, who has just been captured]

Sir. Sir!

Brig. Gen. Lewis Armistead

Will you help me up, please?

Lt. Thomas Chamberlain

Sir, could you tell me what your name is? Who you are?

Brig. Gen. Lewis Armistead

I would like to speak to General Hancock. Do you know... where... General Hancock may be found?

Lt. Thomas Chamberlain

I'm sorry, sir. The general is down. He's been hit.

Brig. Gen. Lewis Armistead

No! Not both of us... not all of us! Please, God!

Lt. Thomas Chamberlain

Sir, sir, we're having a surgeon come as quickly as we can.

Brig. Gen. Lewis Armistead

Can you hear me, son?

Lt. Thomas Chamberlain

Yes, sir. I can hear you.

Brig. Gen. Lewis Armistead

Will you tell General Hancock... that General Armistead sends his regrets? Will you tell him... how... very sorry I am?

Lt. Thomas Chamberlain

I will tell him, sir. I will tell him.
