Re: A prodigal son
In Response To: Re: A prodigal son ()

If I may....

From the dialog of Fort Apache

[Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: Gentlemen, this is a horse. You will observe it has no saddle. The reason it has no saddle is because it'll be easier for you to stay on without the saddle. Now, before we progress... did any of you gentlemen have the honor of serving with the Southern arms during the late War Between The States?

Recruit: Yes, sir. I had the pride, sir, of serving with Bedford Forrest.

Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: I am proud to shake your hand.

Recruit: Thank you, sir.

Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: I hope you have the pleasure of buying me a drink on your next payday.
Recruit: An honor, sir.

Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: You are now an acting corporal.]

Sgt. Johnny Beaufort's character, played by actor Pedro Armendáriz, had been a Confederate officer in Stuart's Cavalry if I remember right.
