A scene from Glory 1989

Shaw

[Shaw approaches Rawlins after having Trip horse-whipped for deserting]

Mr. Rawlins... this morning, I... it would be a great help to me if I could talk to you from time to time about the men. That's all.

Rawlins

[turns to leave]

Shoes, sir.

Shaw

I beg your pardon?

Rawlins

The men need shoes, Colonel.

Shaw

Yes, I've been after the quartermaster for some time.

Rawlins

No, sir. Now. The boy ran off to find him some shoes, Colonel. He wants to fight. Same as the rest of us. More, even.

Rawlins He's just a boy. Trip He a weak white boy, and beatin' on a **** make him feel strong. Shaw So what do you want to do? Trip Don't know, sir. Shaw It stinks, I suppose. Trip Yeah, It stinks bad. And we all covered up in it too. Ain't nobody clean. Be nice to get clean, though. Trip See the way I figure, I figure this war would be over a whole lot sooner if you boys just turned right on around and headed back on down that way, and you let us head on up there where the real fighting is. Union Soldier We got men dyin' up that road. Trip And there wouldn't be nothing but rebs dyin if they'd let the fifty-fourth in it.
