Scenes with Maj. Heyward
11 scenes
Maj. Heyward I thought all our colonial scouts were in the militia. The militia is fighting the French in the north.
I ain't your scout. And we sure ain't no damn militia.
Maj. Heyward You call yourself a patriot, and loyal subject to the Crown?
I do not call myself subject to much at all.
Maj. Heyward There is a war on. How is it you are heading west?
Well, we face to the north and, real subtle like, turn left.
Maj. Heyward Might I inquire after the situation sir, given that I've seen the French engineering from the ridge above.
The situation is that his guns are bigger than mine and he has more of them. We keep our heads down while his troops dig 30 yards of trench a day. When those trenches are 200 yards from the fort and within range, he'll bring in his 15-inch mortars, lob explosive rounds over our walls, and pound us to dust.
Maj. Heyward And who empowered these colonials to pass judgement on England's policies, and to come and go without so much as a "by your leave"?
They do not live their lives "by your leave"! They hack it out of the wilderness with their own two hands, burying their children along the way!
Maj. Heyward You are defending him because you've become infatuated with him!
Duncan, you are a man with a few admirable qualities, but taken as a whole, I was wrong to have thought so highly of you.
Maj. Heyward You there, Scout! We must rest soon, the women are tired.
No, two leagues, better water. We stop there.
Maj. Heyward No, we'll stop in the glade just ahead. When the ladies are rested, we will proceed. Do you understand?
Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.
Maj. Heyward Excuse me, what did you say?
Magua said... he understands English very well.
Haven't you got anything better to do on the lake today, Major?
Maj. Heyward When you fall back into English hands I'll have you hanged!
Maj. Heyward I told them to take me. Take me! My compliments, sir! Take her and get out!
Duncan! Duncan, no!
Go ahead.
Maj. Heyward What the bloody hell plan is this?
I want you to go.
If we go, there's a chance there won't be a fight. There's no powder. If we don't go in that, there's no chance. None. Do you understand?
Maj. Heyward Coward!
You've done everything you can do. Save yourself. If the worst happens, and only one of us survives, something of the other does too.
No. You stay alive. If they don't kill you, they'll take you north, up to Huron land. Submit, do you hear? You're strong, you survive. You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you!
