Sergeant York Edit

A bird ain't got no way of telling north from south.

A bullet hasn't got any brains. It'll hit whatever you aim it at.

A flying across the ridge coming this a way, see, right at me.

A little religion wouldn't do him no hurt.

A seeing how you weren't there.

A upstanding man like Zeb Andrews would make a girl a right smart husband.

A whole division and a lot of high officers.

About Abraham.

About all he done that summer was hunt for that sow.

About all he...

According to the statements of the others, they were guarding the prisoners

Again.

Again.

Against something? Against what?

Against the Book and its teachings?

Aim.

Aim.

Aim. Fire.

Ain't it?

Ain't never cleaned one like that before. I done clean my own, though.

Ain't no changing it.

Ain't no lye in this liquor.

Ain't no part of what he was intending for us to be a doing here.

Ain't no room in there, but I yell, "Move back in the cars."

Ain't nobody a holding you.

Ain't nobody cut center but Alvin York.

Ain't nobody ever cut five centers unless it were Daniel Boone.

Ain't nobody gonna get it away from me.

Ain't you ever even seen a subway?

All I'm aiming to say, Miss Gracie, is,

All I'm asking is, is for four extra days.

All right, gentlemen. That's all, Corporal.

All right, George, let him go.

All right, George.

All right, get on down!

All right, let's go. Ready on number 30.

All right, next time get that sling a little higher on your arm.

All right, pay your dollar and draw your number.

All right, Pusher, that's mess call.

All right, Ross, take another one.

All right, take 10 days' furlough.

All right, York. Let's see what you can do.

All right, Zeke, sit yourself down.

All right. Come on out of there! All of you!

All right. Halt!

All right. Keep a coming.

All right. Savage, York, Cutting. Bring your men. Come with me.

Also in the knees.

Alvin C. York! Report to Major Buxton immediately.

Alvin cut dead center all four times.

Alvin York and two other fellows done busted up the meeting.

Alvin York cut center five times and won Lem's beef critter on the hoof.

Alvin York done shot his initials in this tree.

Alvin York, next shooter.

Alvin, how do you know that it happened just that a way?

Alvin, I...

Alvin, pumps costs a heap of money.

Alvin, you better be a staying here.

Alvin, you...

Alvin!

Alvin...

Alvin...

Alvin's got one more coming.

Alvin's in good hands.

Amen.

Amen.

An awful lot of room for just one fellow here.

And a few more won't make no difference.

And a mule and $5, no $6.

And all them fellows are dropping around me,

And all them people coming here from all over...

And another thing, I'm gonna give you back the clock you sold me.

And anybody that's a farmer knows what that means.

And brought them all back. They say...

And captured about 30 men, right down in here.

And couldn't expose themselves to the fire from the ridge.

And couldn't show themselves without being hit.

And each man to defend the rights of all men.

And each man to defend the rights of all men.

And finally to the General Board in Washington.

And for conspicuous gallantry beyond the call of duty,

And help us to be beholding to nobody. Amen.

And here's a breakfast food manufacturer who wants you to endorse his product.

And here's an offer to appear at the Winter Garden, that's a theater.

And I ain't making excuses for Alvin to nobody.

And I believe that when the time comes, you'll conduct yourself as a soldier should.

And I can't sell you no liquor less you gets over yonder in Kentucky.

And I hate to be telling you, but I don't want to see you get in no trouble.

And I seen eight beef critters a grazing in the pasture there.

And I'm a believing that this here life we're living

And I'm a gonna get it.

And I'm figuring that a killing other folks

And I'm going to approve your promotion to the rank of corporal.

And I'm gonna build you one of 'em sinks.

And I'm gonna give you a pump, so you won't have to carry

And I'm sure grateful to you for this here key.

And I'm thinking they're plumb right.

And if you change your mind about Zeb, well, I reckon I could...

And it ain't gonna take very long either

And it will be our house.

And it's for us.

And it's gonna have three windows.

And judging by all these offers you've been getting,

And may God bless you.

And maybe in a flash, like a bolt of lightning.

And my granddaddy done fought in the Revolution.

And raise your family according to your own likes?

And running around in his shirttail.

And something done happened to him and I sure need a mule.

And sure enough, one night, when he was plowing home...

And tell 'em I'm a going home?

And thank the good Lord for that?

And that book's full of great men.

And that is?

And that Zeb Andrews sure are a forgiving man.

And that... That is different.

And that's what I done.

And that's your heritage and mine, every American's.

And the big room is gonna be...

And the house is bigger, with more windows, and the kitchen's got a pump.

And the kitchen will be here, and it's gonna be good and big, too.

And then take the animals in the woods.

And then the next one, see?

And then there's the bees.

And there ain't no way you can get out of it.

And there ain't nothing written in the Book that ain't the truth.

And there weren't nothing anybody could do, but to stop them guns.

And they ain't but only eight of us to handle them.

And they amount to around a quarter of million dollars.

And they wanna get into the cars all together.

And they wanted to get there before they sobered up.

And they'll follow you no matter how far back you go.

And this is Mr. Harrison from the Tennessee Society.

And unto God, God's.

And we got to be a living it the best we can.

And we have them in three lovely colors.

And when you get back, if you still can't see it our way,

And whenever they did, I could touch 'em off.

And win the beef critter and then put him up for cash money.

And you ain't wearing no coonskin hat.

And Zeb here paid me cash money all down.

And, if...

And... And there's one more thing.

Any questions?

Anything wrong with it?

Anyway, I've totaled the offers so far

Anyway, your time was rightly up last Tuesday.

Appears he's out running for Congress again.

Appears like everybody's having a mighty good time.

Are they offering that money because of what happened over there?

Are you coming or ain't you?

Are you shooting against us, Alvin?

Aren't you... Aren't you taking quite a chance, Major?

Artillery will lay down a rolling barrage at 6:00.

As a token of our very great esteem.

As Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces,

As I was saying,

As I was saying, Alvin,

As instructor in target practice.

As much business as you have, Alvin York.

Asked her yet?

Attaboy, Tom. I heard my daddy talk about fighting Yankees.

Be a watching 'em, Joe.

Be sitting, Alvin.

Because they had to rear up and show themselves

Because... Because I'm a going to marry you.

Been standing there since your pa was a boy a plowing in the same field.

Bees'd sure be in a fix if they wasn't beholding to something

Before the price goes up on account of the war.

Beg your pardon, sir.

Belly to the ground, you babies.

Bend over.

Besides, we can do with some help.

Bet it ain't no better in Kentuck.

Better be taking a piece of corn for your supper, Son.

Better wait till he goes to roost, Alvin.

Birds get to fly north in the summer if there ain't something a guiding 'em?

Blow, let a little of it out.

Both back tax bills, I reckon.

Boy, how I used to push 'em in. I used to pack them in like sardines in a can.

Boy, I told you.

Boy, look at that shine, is that clean or is that clean?

Breakfast's ready, now it is. Better be getting at it.

Bring 29 to the firing line.

Business is business.

Bust him in the eye, Alvin, if he winks at you.

But according to St. John,

But Alvin's done cut dead center, fair and square.

But did Sam get down on his marrowbones,

But do you believe that the Bible means that a man shouldn't fight

But he doesn't stop Peter from using his sword.

But he had to in the end.

But here's another book, York. The History of the United States.

But I ain't one to take the job away from the Governor of the State.

But I got to have 'em extra days, Mr. Tomkins. I just got to.

But I reckon he can wait till Saturday.

But I was a taking your word for it...

But I'm a knowing where there's a piece of bottomland to be had

But if a fellow's got himself a repeating rifle,

But if you're willing to take on the job at 75 cents a day,

But it was this way, Colonel.

But it's... Well, it's just like Pastor Pile done told me.

But Nate Tomkins was... Was a figuring that...

But not to kill.

But old Satan, he hangs on tight.

But seeing as how I'm trying to do the fair and square thing, Alvin, $20.

But since I'm in the army, I sure take my hat off to them.

But the cost of that heritage is high.

But the cost of that heritage is high.

But there's just one thing, sir, that I ought to tell you.

But they was exaggerating some.

But when I hear them machine guns a going

But you can expect heavy machinegun fire from these wooded ridges

By the people and for the people.

Bye, Alvin.

Bye.

Caesar... The things which were Caesar's.

Can you tell me where the 328th be?

Can you... Can you do any better on the price of the land?

Can't say, child.

Can't see the roots, but they're there just the same.

Can't tell about his course till he gets out on the flat.

Captain Danforth and I heartily approve.

Careful you don't kill anybody with it till we get to France.

Certainly, Captain. Sit down, York.

Clean it.

Close your eyes, please?

Come back here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on out and keep your hands up.

Come on, boy.

Come on, Buck.

Come on, fellows. Get your targets ready for the beef shoot.

Come on, get 'em.

Come on, men!

Come on, Noah.

Come on, step lively. Move forward.

Come on, step up. Step lively there. Come on.

Come on, you guys. Hit the dirt and hit it hard.

Come on, you, put your hands up and keep 'em up.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come this a way.

Coming, George.

Corn is thicker than fur on a squirrel.

Corporal.

Could I be getting a can of baking powder and a...

Cutting, come up here with that bayonet.

Dancing around a whole passel of women that a way.

Depends for ammunition and supplies on the Decauville Railroad,

Detail of the 328th. We got some prisoners.

Did you ever clean a rifle before?

Did you ever think when you start plowing your furrows crooked,

Dig your way straight down to China.

Dig, soldiers, dig.

Dig. Dig. Dig.

Do tell.

Do they all talk that kind of English where you come from?

Doesn't seem to make any difference.

Doggone it, that turkey can sure hide.

Doing like he does.

Don't be taking it hard, Mother York, what you just heard.

Don't pull it. Squeeze it slowly. Just like you were squeezing a lemon.

Don't try anything funny.

Don't want you to be remembering me like this.

Don't you come any closer.

Door of the house of worship.

Down at the meeting house last night. Did you hear?

Duck again.

Duck.

Early, take what's left of your section and work your way back around that hill.

Ed Morgan's gonna do the fiddling.

Enough, enough.

Fall on down and keep 'em covered. Spread out, men! Spread out!

Fifth man gets the hide and the tallow.

Figures maybe it's a bear.

Fine husband you'd make.

Fire when ready.

Fire.

Fire.

First man into the Valley of the Three Forks.

First platoon at 6:10,

Five shots? Am I hearing you right, Alvin?

Five will get you 10 that guy knocks off your whole sauerkraut army.

Folks back home used to say I could shoot a rifle before I was weaned.

Folks say you're no good except for fighting and hell raising

For heroism beyond the call of duty.

For instance,

For we're still struggling.

For what he believes to be right?

Forget about Nate Tomkins, will you?

Forward!

Four, two, mark.

From the very beginning until now.

Gee, he captured hundreds of Boche and machine guns.

Get after him, now.

Get going, Tom.

Get going.

Get in there, you guys. Move forward. Move...

Get the table set.

Get those hands up. Come on, move fast. Move.

Get up.

Giddap, Noah, giddap. Come on.

Giddap, Noah.

Giddap, Noah.

Giddap, Noah. I'll be seeing you.

Give me that old time religion.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. Take it with you if you want to. You can borrow it.

Go on.

Go on. Move out of there, down the hill.

Good morning, Pastor. Reckon I need some coal oil.

Goodbye, Alvin.

Gotta get under there.

Gracie Williams?

Gracie, I... I gotta talk to you.

Guy named York got 132 Heinies all by his lonesome.

Guy named York! All by his lonesome!

Halt and take cover!

Hang on, everyone.

Hang on, Rosie.

He ain't got no business around here anyhow.

He can appeal to the District Board at Nashville

He can't read the Book.

He come out one morning,

He done said his kingdom were not of this world.

He had six or seven other pigs that didn't run off.

He hunted high and low for that old sow.

He hunted high and low for that old...

He is the big, lanky fellow, fourth from the end, sir.

He said he wants to see you right off.

He said that to Peter.

He said you best be a coming.

He said, "My kingdom is not of this world.

He said, "Them that lives by the sword will be a perishing by the sword."

He seen something move in the shadows.

He stopped here for a spell to

He sure busted him wide open.

He wants to talk to you, Gracie.

He was a saying, "Thou shalt not kill."

He was just a helping me.

He will, if you ask him.

He won't stick his head up so I can get a shot at him.

He's down here as a conscientious objector.

He's gonna yank you straight down to hell.

He's got a good chance of getting the whole flock.

He's got this here phone in here now.

He's kind of pussle gutted, it appears to me.

He's up at the Kentucky border.

He's up at the point. Been up there all day.

Heard? What kind of talk is that?

Heinie!

Hell bent for election, toward the Kentucky border.

Hello, there!

Hello. Hello there.

Help him to be getting his land.

Here he is, Ma.

Here she comes, Zeke. Right on time.

Here we go again.

Here we go.

Here you are, Jim. I reckon I won't wait to be drafted.

Here you be, $26. And I've got the rest of it right here in my pocket.

Here, here. Quit that.

Here's five chances to do better.

Here's your chance to get it.

Here's your cider. It's coming from the...

Hey,

Hey, a fellow who'd marry her'd be a bigamist.

Hey, Alvin, what about you?

Hey, Alvin!

Hey, Alvin. How about your medals?

Hey, Bert!

Hey, down there. Don't do no shooting.

Hey, look at this. Right through the marker.

Hey, look here.

Hey, Sarge, look.

Hey, Sarge! York by himself captured 132 Germans.

Hey, tell 'em to halt.

Hey, this gun touches off kind of easy.

Hey, this one's full of grease. Ain't you got a clean one?

Hey, we can't handle all that gang.

Hey, what are you wetting that front sight for?

Hey, what you got there, young fellow?

Hey, what's that? How many?

Hey, you.

Hey, Zeke, you ain't paid your dollar yet.

Hey! Hey! War! Hey!

Hey! Pastor Pile!

His ma wants him.

Hold it thataway, Zeb.

Hold it.

Hold your fire!

Hold your horses, Marter.

How am I gonna do it?

How are you, Zeke?

How are you?

How can I be sure you'll get it by Saturday?

How could one guy...

How do they stand so far, Luke?

How do you like New York, Alvin, as much as you've seen of it?

How many did you kill?

How many have you got?

How much for this here bird?

How old you say this here mule be?

How they all got together and set up a government,

How you gonna answer that, York?

How?

How's the crops up your way, Alvin?

How's your ma?

Howdy, Alvin.

Howdy, Mrs. York.

Howdy.

Howdy.

I ain't a going.

I ain't a gonna register.

I ain't a needing one.

I ain't against nobody or nothing. Except getting sober.

I ain't caring what Nate Tomkins was a figuring.

I ain't ever seen a prettier piece of land than that there Andrews farm.

I ain't having but five eggs and they're kind of puny.

I ain't much good at this here practicing, Sergeant.

I ain't never ate any of that there breakfast food.

I ain't never gonna forget him again.

I ain't proud of what happened over there.

I ain't said nothing.

I ain't seen you in a coon's age. Where you been keeping yourself?

I ain't taking nothing hard, Pastor.

I allow Zeb Andrews would make a better one?

I always wet my sights when I'm fixing to do some shooting.

I asked you how your ma was.

I bought it, it's mine.

I can believe that, after driving over here from Jamestown.

I can tell you these garments are mighty popular with the ladies.

I can't do it.

I can't figure out how I got way down there on the edge.

I can't get the rest!

I can't hear you.

I can't hold it no more.

I can't no ways see how I can miss that whole great big target.

I can't wait to see you.

I congratulate you, York.

I could figure something out.

I didn't have no call to come twixt you and him.

I don't care about that. I ain't a going.

I don't know. I've been aiming not to make no trouble.

I don't rightly know, child.

I don't rightly know, sir.

I don't rightly know.

I don't think I'm taking any chances at all.

I done a heap of sleeping while you was away.

I done forgot the Lord.

I done what you told me, I thought things over.

I done wrestled him, Pastor, but... Whoa, whoa there, Noah.

I figured it was you out a hunting.

I figured that them guns was killing hundreds, maybe thousands,

I got letters here for Tom Carver and Ed Watson.

I got right bad news for you.

I got some nipping cider.

I guess we can give you some help.

I guess you'll be needing a man sized gun.

I had to see you again, Alvin. I just had to.

I hope you will be comfortable here, Sergeant York.

I know it, but...

I know you will, York.

I mean, Privates Ross and Thomas, sir, but,

I might allow you $1.50 apiece for 'em.

I never figured you'd get that money.

I only worked two days to get it.

I rather hoped that you would, York.

I reckon ain't no harm you seeing it, Alvin.

I reckon I ain't found no roots what'll hold me up, when...

I reckon I ain't half as good,

I reckon I can just be a trusting in something that's a heap bigger than I be.

I reckon I could get him without your acting so noble.

I reckon I done the wrong thing.

I reckon I know about that, Sergeant.

I reckon I know what you're thinking. It's more blessed to give than to receive.

I reckon I know where your brother's at.

I reckon I might allow you $30 on him.

I reckon I wouldn't, George.

I reckon I'm a waiting.

I reckon it is.

I reckon that land will be yours in a couple of seasons.

I reckon that there gun shoots a might to the right.

I reckon the good Lord was a protecting me, sir.

I reckon the good Lord will take care of the rest.

I reckon their liquor was getting low

I reckon these'll do till I get fixed up in government clothes.

I reckon you could have got here quicker if you had carried Betsy.

I reckon you do.

I reckon you just got to talk their language, Alvin.

I reckon you know I ain't seen my ma for quite a spell.

I reckon you'll get to do your share.

I reckon you'll want some salt on your pone.

I reckon. Come over here, Alvin.

I recollect the time Sam Harkness lost his old sow.

I said 'em hound dogs run the fox to ground.

I said tell him it's useless.

I said, when are you coming home?

I see.

I seen him go down. They like to cut him in two.

I sure could do a powerful sight with that money.

I sure do admire big women. She's about that biggest that I ever did see.

I sure thought I cut plumb center that time.

I sure will.

I sure wish I know'd how.

I sure would like to have words with him.

I sure would like to read this here book.

I sure would like to ride on the subway on the Bronx Express.

I sure would like to see that there piece of land, though.

I tell you, Alvin,

I think Captain Danforth is familiar with that, sir.

I think that's what he wanted.

I think that's what sent Boone into your Tennessee country.

I think we can arrange that.

I thought maybe you might have some conscientious objections to it.

I wanna be a going home.

I want to talk to you, Zeb, about... About that there piece of land.

I was a buying that land just to spite you.

I was feared. I'm a feared for Alvin.

I was figuring on taking 'em rocks out myself, Alvin.

I was figuring that...

I was plumb out of salt.

I was pretty busy and I reckon they was, too.

I was telling him your option was up Tuesday and...

I was thinking you was to the dance.

I was... I was aiming to get that piece of land.

I wasn't expecting you to be a calling so soon.

I wasn't thinking of what I was saying.

I wouldn't have you on a Christmas tree, Alvin York.

I...

I... I can't hear you.

I'd be riding up and having a talk with him.

I'd guess it'd make a heap of difference, wouldn't it?

I'd kind of like to see Zeb, are he hereabout?

I'd like to be a seeing it, too.

I'd like to know where that barrage is that we're supposed to have.

I'd like to sell you some of these garments

I'd sure be much obliged if I could have a cup of water.

I'd sure like to see you toad hop her about, Alvin.

I'd take a crack at all of 'em and trust to luck.

I'll arrange your furlough, York, starting tomorrow.

I'll be a coming back.

I'll be a writing 'em appeals for you, Alvin, so don't you be worrying.

I'll be taking it and give me four more.

I'll give you 50 United States dollars for the whole caboodle.

I'll go.

I'll let you off at the fork and you and Gracie can walk over to the holler.

I'll recommend your exemption.

I'll tell her.

I'm a bringing your book back, Major. And I'm a thanking you.

I'm a drinking against Nate Tomkins.

I'm a gonna get us a piece of bottomland.

I'm a needing cash money and I'm gonna get it.

I'm a wanting five shots, Lem.

I'm asking your forgiveness for a flaring up at you the way I done.

I'm Cordell Hull, Sergeant York,

I'm expecting my husband to love me.

I'm glad you come in, Alvin. I was gonna send for you.

I'm going.

I'm mighty glad to meet you, Mr. Hull.

I'm right glad, Son.

I'm right sorry about the other night, I...

I'm right sorry, Alvin, but I just sold that bottomland to Zeb here.

I'm standing on the platform, holding back the mob.

I'm still a coming.

I'm thanking you, Pastor.

I've been kind of expecting you.

I've been wanting to talk to you about this.

I've been working in a subway all my life, never thought about the guys that dug it.

I've done a heap of thinking up yonder there once.

I've done thought it over, Mr. Hull.

I've got to get to work.

If he busts loose now and again?

If I count the nights, too, I got nigh onto four months to pay you off.

If I don't get my money afore the 60 days,

If I had a piece of bottomland,

If I wanted Zeb Andrews for a husband,

If nothing made 'em store up nuts for the wintertime.

If one's got your name on it, there's nothing you can do.

If that was shrapnel, now, we wouldn't be flopping at all.

If the Lord keeps a showering his blessings on me.

If there's any of you want to go get him, you're...

If there's anything you require, all you will have to do is ask for it.

If we can't drink to something,

If you don't go, they'll be a coming after you.

If you wanted to get back to the American lines,

If you're hankering for trouble,

In order to shoot at me and the rest of the boys back here.

In some of 'em creek beds, had to use old Betsy's belly for a boat.

In something outside his own self.

Is it because of your religious convictions, York?

Is something the Lord done give us.

Is that the new seed you was gonna send for?

Is that what... That what this here book's about?

Is there anything we can do for you?

Is this here the last word or has he got some place to appeal?

It ain't in our corner, nohow.

It ain't no use, Alvin. You'd only be fixing yourself for trouble.

It ain't no use, George.

It ain't right for us to be a feared, Gracie.

It ain't scarce right here in these mountains.

It ain't the log you're supposed to shoot, Zeke, it's the critter behind it.

It ain't...

It appears to me it's been planned a fellow's got to have his roots

It appears to me that the devil be a knocking at the

It doesn't go straight down, it goes this way.

It goes for miles.

It is my pleasure to confer upon you

It is now minus 10, eight, six,

It looks like plumb middle to me.

It might need a little extra hoeing.

It must be taken.

It says so right here in this here paper.

It seems a lot of people realize it.

It sure ain't a good night for a killing.

It sure is a lot of writing.

It takes a while, but you'll learn when to flop and when not to.

It took a heap of looking, but he come easy.

It was a long time before he gave up,

It was a way of telling him that he wouldn't get no crops no more.

It was Alvin York, lke Botkin and Buck Lipscomb in their liquor.

It was always that way.

It wasn't Alvin, Mother York, it was the liquor.

It wasn't just the land I was a wanting to see.

It were Satan a speaking out of me.

It were too dark. I couldn't see.

It'll come, my boy. You'll see.

It's a privilege to command such men as you.

It's all over now.

It's enough for me that I trust you.

It's just a plain business proposition.

It's just Uncle Lige talking to himself.

It's making a big circle.

It's me, Alvin. It's me, Gracie!

It's mighty hard to get 'em straight again.

It's mighty hard work, getting corn out of rocks.

It's more than a dollar a day.

It's quite a story, York.

It's quite a ways to Jimtown.

It's right here.

It's sure ripped down here. You reckon you can fix it?

It's the sow!

It's Tuesday, Alvin. You only got till 6:00.

It's up that way someplace.

It's worth it

It's your move.

It's yours, Alvin. It's all yours. They give it to you.

Jim Corey, next shooter.

Jimtown.

Joshua, 14, verse 9...

Just a having you. But...

Just a resting itself and feeding on the earth.

Just a word now and then.

Just about the best fiddler in these here parts, he is.

Just goes to show you what a fellow can do if he gets book learning.

Just like a flock of turkeys.

Just like that.

Just like the electric signs down the street.

Just to think, in two, three years, a house right there where we're looking.

Keep 'em covered.

Keep 'em hands up and start a going down the hill there.

Keep a coming.

Keep your eye on him. I want a weekly report.

Keep your eye on them Heinies so they don't try any rough stuff.

Kind of catch his breath.

Kind of coming from back to front.

Knitting, Zeb?

Last time I seen Alvin he was chasing a fox.

Let him be.

Let me see.

Let's get going, Alvin.

Let's see now. That's $40.50.

Let's see that target, Sergeant.

Like I already done Pusher and Bert.

Like I'm saying, Miss Gracie,

Liked to kill hisself trying.

Line 'em up and disarm 'em!

Listen.

Listen.

Load her up careful, George. We got a long ways to paddle.

Load.

Load. Aim.

Look at Buck here, Alvin. He's plumb tuckered out.

Look at that mob.

Look at that there big woman.

Look likes the Germans might get into Paris, don't you think?

Look out.

Look them fellows over good.

Look, it's the rush hour, the Bronx Express is just pulling in.

Look, Ross, you had your thumb sticking straight up in the air.

Look, Sarge, you can eat right off the trigger.

Look! Heinies!

Lookee here, Alvin York,

Lookee here, Pastor Pile.

Looks down on the folks on top.

Looks like it could go right on standing all by itself, don't it?

Lord, if you can,

Lord...

Lots of things can happen before you get there.

Lots of things still a going on in my mind.

Ma wants you, Alvin.

Ma wants you.

Ma, ain't Alvin ever gonna eat again?

Ma, I'm back.

Ma.

Ma.

Ma.

Made by your company sergeant.

Make sure that front sight divides the rear sight in half.

Marter, you are the legalest fellow in these here parts, if you ain't nothing else.

May I present you with this key to our city

Maybe for something more.

Maybe he is,

Maybe he is.

Maybe he wants to keep his head.

Maybe I could and maybe I couldn't.

Maybe in another two or three years, if you're willing to wait...

Maybe our credit ain't no good in Tennessee.

Maybe slow, like the way daylight comes.

Maybe so, but in modern merchandising,

Maybe that will teach you to keep your thumb down.

Maybe you can jump 'em from behind.

Maybe you need some extra help on the other piece of land.

Maybe you will.

Maybe. Come on, get your mule.

Me, too.

Might give you two, three days work though, splitting rails.

Mighty good shooting for a man in his liquor.

Mighty poor. They won't fetch that much.

Mind you, Alvin, we can't always figure the ways of Providence.

Miss... Miss Gracie,

Move forward, there.

Mr. Tomkins, Abraham's worth a sight more than that.

Mule's at the gate. You got a long ways to go.

My mind's sort of running that a way.

My mule's kind of poorly,

My time's up tomorrow night!

Nary a bit. He's just mighty well fed, that's all.

Nary a man ever tried harder.

Never gonna get...

Nice going, York.

No amount of washing will make it lose its snap.

No hard feelings?

No mistaking the voices of 'em hound dogs.

No need of getting riled, Mr. Tomkins.

No poison oak leaves in it, either.

No water from the springs.

No, Gracie, it can't be that a way.

No, I ain't asking for anything extra, Zeb.

No, I ain't.

No, I don't think so, Captain.

No, it wouldn't.

No, it's you I'm marrying, ain't nobody else in this here world.

No, ma'am, he ain't.

No, no, don't you be looking at me, please.

No, no, no, they won't make you do that. It's what I want to tell you.

No, sir, I ain't.

No, sir!

No, siree, not Sam.

No, the whole truth is, if you hears it, you've got a chance.

No, they don't have subways where he comes from, I guess.

No, we better keep an eye on these prisoners.

No? Well, then I'd pick the motorman.

No. I ain't at the dance.

No. No, I can see that.

Nobody, Mother York, nary a soul.

Not a cent. $120.

Not bad.

Not to me, they ain't.

Not yet, we'll try it first.

Now in this line of ladies' bloomers,

Now look here, Zeb Andrews...

Now look here...

Now look, Mr. Pile,

Now look, Ross. That's not a teaspoon you got there, it's a shovel.

Now then, 60 days is all you got.

Now this here is the point!

Now this here...

Now this here...

Now you be a listening to me.

Now, $70 is a lot of money for a fellow like you to get his hands on.

Now, Alvin, you keep looking down and don't you be looking up till I tell you.

Now, as I understand it, York, your detail came over that ridge there

Now, get going.

Now, how about that there big woman?

Now, now, now, Alvin, you stop that. Don't you be saying things like that.

Now, now...

Now, remember, you guys, you're using real, live ammunition.

Now, Sergeant, the people of New York would like to show their appreciation.

Now, supposing these here cartridges is a flock of wild turkeys,

Now, that's quite a word, freedom.

Now, wait a minute. Here. There it is right there, see?

Now, which one of them would you shoot first?

Now, which one of them's got the most meat on him?

Now, you got to register

Now, you see here.

Now... Now go ahead with the reading.

Number eight next.

Number nine.

Of course you ain't, and I ain't asking you to.

Of course, I ain't for Alvin

Of course, I always figured on marrying you and Gracie myself,

Of course, if you'd rather not tell me, why, it's quite all right.

Of course, they might flare off some when the shooting starts,

Oh, against something or somebody we're against.

Oh, Alvin!

Oh, anybody that's done any hunting knows that.

Oh, but I ain't, that's the point.

Oh, eggs are eggs, I reckon.

Oh, how should I know? Maybe he would.

Oh, I ain't a worrying.

Oh, I ain't looking for any trouble.

Oh, I didn't see that one.

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, I done prayed, Pastor, till I was black in the face.

Oh, I just can't wait to see you again, Alvin.

Oh, I reckon it's worth about...

Oh, I'm glad, Son.

Oh, it does? It gives you balance, does it?

Oh, Mr. Tomkins, I was just coming over to see you.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Tomkins. I'll sure get it for you.

Oh, that war.

Oh, there he is!

Oh, yeah. That gives me balance.

Oh, yes, they are.

Oh, yes, yes. Are they ready?

Oh, you could, could you?

Oh!

Okay, Bert. The Express has gone through.

Okay, do some shooting.

Okay, Sarge.

Okay, York. You're on your own.

Okay.

Old man Jarvis up Bear Creek way

On the right and the left flanks. But we've got to get through.

One night, when he was plowing home through the snow,

One's a having a hook to the end of its bay

Or a field of corn?

Pall Mall. Valley of the Three Forks of the Wolf.

Parsons, Sergeant Early.

Pastor Pile wants to see you, Alvin.

Pastor, I wouldn't be against your talking to Alvin.

Patching and scratching that poor land.

Plenty of room in the seat, too.

Plumb hollow I am, like an old, burnt out stump.

President Wilson done declared war against Germany.

Press your cheek a little closer to the stock.

Prisoners, hold right there!

Pull in your necks, soldiers. Those rookies are gonna start shooting.

Pusher.

Pusher.

Put 'em right over there.

Put it up to your ear, Mother York.

Put them on.

Put your trust in the Book, Alvin.

Queer how the folks that lives on the bottom

Quit pestering yourself. It ain't no use.

Raised such a rumpus they had to turn him loose.

Rather incredible, wasn't it, York,

Re mark for 29.

Re mark, 29.

Ready on 29.

Ready on number 29.

Ready, 29.

Ready, number 30.

Ready? Aim.

Reckon he's laying an egg back there, Jim?

Reckon I better go. I'll be seeing you.

Reckon I had.

Reckon I have.

Reckon it better.

Reckon that'll hold.

Reckon we better begin all over?

Red. Just to the side of that...

Relax, Ross, loosen up. Yeah, that's better.

Remember, keep your sights on the center of the bull's eye.

Remember, the Lord done said, "Thou shalt not kill."

Representative from your district of Tennessee.

Representative Hull.

Roads are getting soggier and soggier between here and Rugby.

Rules same as all as were. Shots are $1 apiece.

Runners, notify the platoon commanders that we go over, barrage or no barrage.

Sam lit out after it to find it.

Sam... Sam's right scared.

Satan's got you by the shirttail, Alvin.

Savage, keep the men quiet.

Savage?

Savage.

Say it.

Say when you got enough.

Say, let's do it again.

Say, Sarge, did you hear? York captured the Kaiser.

Second and third platoons to follow in waves of 100 meters.

See that rock, Alvin?

See what I mean?

See?

See? Big muss. Yes, sir, bigamist.

Seems you picked up a good bit down in the hills, Alvin.

Sergeant York,

Sergeant York, I am proud that you are of the All American Division.

Sergeant York!

Sharpshooter York requests a re mark.

She's right here.

Shoot him when he ain't looking.

Shucks, just when we was having fun.

Signal up there and tell 'em they're surrounded.

Since Daniel Boone and Andy Jackson.

Sixty days and sixty nights.

So don't start murdering each other.

So I reckon I'll have to refuse 'em.

So that's what the Lord done said to Cain when he done killed Abel.

So war is against the Book.

So we understand.

So you know about sighting, do you?

So you see, gentlemen, the grave responsibility rests upon us.

So you've got a gun of your own, have you?

So, a long time after that

So, I went up the hill, up around that a way,

So, Sergeant, in the name of the people of New York,

So, the way I figure, things like that ain't for buying and selling.

So, they... Well, they finally gave up.

So, we'll be a building the house right over there by that tree.

So, you draw down on the last turkey here,

Some fellows done it ain't a coming back.

Somebody else has got it by now, I suppose.

Something that a man just can't see with his eyes or hold in his hands.

Something that some men don't even know they have until they've lost it.

Sometimes all we have to preserve it, even our lives.

Sometimes it takes all we have to preserve it, even our lives.

Sorry, Alvin. Had 'em shod just yesterday over to Possum Trot.

Sorry, Pastor, I... Them's sinful words.

Sounds as if they've run that fox to ground.

Sounds like them Heinies is making a heap of trouble.

South field needs a plowing.

Squirrels'd go mighty hungry

Stand closer, Ma.

Stay where you are if you don't want to be laid out in two pieces.

Steam... No. Steam cars.

Sure are, Alvin.

Sure has. Giddap, Noah.

Sure have.

Sure it's yours, Zeb, but...

Sure takes a body's breath away, but I reckon we'll get through it all right.

Sure was nice to talk to the folks.

Sure we can. That's my mate.

Sure will.

Sure wish I was a young fellow.

Swing her, Buck, swing her!

Synchronize your watches.

Take a deep breath.

Take a look at the old oak yonder. Looks mighty strong.

Take all the time you want to think it over.

Take cover.

Take up the slack in the trigger gradually.

Takes time, it do. But you'll get the hang of it.

Tell 'em men of yours if any more of that happens

Tell 'em to drop their belts.

Tell 'em to drop their guns and come down with their hands up.

Tell 'em to halt.

Tell the rest of them fellows to quit shooting and come on out of there.

Ten times as rejoiceful for the lost one as for 'em that stayed in the fold.

Tennessee is indeed proud, Sergeant.

Thank you for what you said,

Thank you, Major Buxton. Thank you, Captain Danforth.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

That ain't a smithereen to what he done in Jimtown.

That ain't no rookie, that's Buffalo Bill.

That are a lot of critters.

That land were mine.

That letter we done sent to Washington, says that I was against fighting and...

That little hollow...

That mule's legally mine. You ain't got no claim on him.

That night that you reported back to me at Camp Gordon,

That paper is four days old, I read it over at Nashville.

That there's bottomland soil, ain't it?

That was right up on this other ridge.

That were further on.

That'll be a big help.

That's a good job, York.

That's a Yank, all right.

That's good.

That's it.

That's only half the truth.

That's right.

That's something for the rest of you men to remember.

That's the story of a whole people's struggle for freedom

That's what I was wanting to tell you.

That's why they call me "Pusher."

The big room is gonna be right... Right here in front, just like this.

The Book says man don't live by bread alone.

The corn's doing right good on the south hill.

The devil was a pushing me from behind.

The doors open up and I... You know what I'm talking about?

The end of the line.

The government of all men to defend the rights of each man.

The Lord bless these victuals we done got

The Lord sure do move in mysterious ways.

The Lord sure does move in mysterious ways.

The Lord takes care of 'em that's a believing in Him.

The mare was in foal.

The next two get the forequarters.

The other's a croak, just like a frog, about moonrise.

The pen be busted down, the sow was gone.

The people of the state of Tennessee for what you done.

The rejoicingest man you ever seen.

The rest of 'em will see him drop and fly off, see?

The rest of you keep under cover.

The sixth man gets to dig the lead out of the tree.

The storekeeper endeavors to create a demand.

The two best shooters get the hindquarters.

The United States Congressional Medal of Honor

The very latest thing in ladies' hats, the cloche model.

The way I figure, Ed's better at the jigging and Tod can sure fiddle a square.

The way I figure, there ain't no use for a fellow going out looking for religion. It's...

The young ones goes bareheaded.

Them that lived by the sword, will be a perishing by the sword.

Then he ain't worth a cent.

Then the bear grunts and it ain't no bear at all.

Then the rest of 'em won't know they're being hit.

Then the...

Then the...

Then they'd better not catch up with me, 'cause they'll be a wishing they hadn't. I...

Then worked my way down the ridge to a place where they was flanked

Then you kind of be a working for yourself.

Then you were forced to cover by a machine gun

There ain't enough money for the bottomland.

There ain't no call for fussing over a fiddler.

There ain't nothing I can't get if I set my mind to it.

There are 25 machine guns on that ridge.

There he be.

There it is.

There was a piece of bottomland I was a trying to get...

There! Now you can look.

There's another fellow asking for that land.

There's lots of things I ain't figured out yet.

There's lots of things...

There's no stopping him now, I reckon.

There's something we got to talk about.

There's the first shot, and here's the other five here.

They ain't going to exempt you, Alvin.

They ain't turning out mules like they used to.

They better be a something big.

They haven't? Ain't they civilized? Where you from?

They say he captured Hindenburg. And the Crown Prince.

They say you never hear the one that's hit you.

They start pushing, I'm trying to hold 'em back.

They sure are trained good, Major.

They took to the hill there. Yeah, that a way.

They was machine gunning us pretty heavy, so I worked my way across

They'll get a chance when I put the critter up again.

They're a telling, Cordell Hull are speechmaking over in Jimtown.

They're offering me all that money?

Thinking on going to that there shindig next Saturday night, Miss Gracie?

This entire German salient, holding up the Argonne advance

This here bird ain't for eating.

This here clock and a sack of goose feathers.

This here is mighty thoughtful of you, gentlemen.

This is all open country ahead,

This is the one bugle call I ain't got no arguments with.

This is where we change cars, Alvin.

This one was.

Thomas, Bert E.

Three women in one she is, Alvin. A whole passel of women.

To bring the mail from Rugby.

To me.

To show 'em how to get back to the hives.

To the rank of corporal with special detail

Told me he seen the three of 'em riding their mules,

Told me I could have 'em extra days.

Tolerable.

Tracks are mighty fresh. Less than an hour old.

Twixt farming the bottomland and the top.

Two companies want you in motion pictures,

Two more shooters. Tom Carver, you're first.

Two sacks of rabbit skins,

Uncle Lige there was a telling me that corn's right good this harvest.

Up behind that log there under the hill.

Up there.

Use as a mark, 4:32.

Very moderately priced, has the finest elastic in the waistband,

Wait a minute.

Want George to go get him, Ma?

Want me to be a setting four places, Ma, or just three?

War is killing and the Book's against killing.

War's away to the other side of the ocean, Alvin.

Was he looking for new lands?

Wasn't knee high to a toad frog,

Watch them fellows.

Watch this fellow.

We all got some prisoners, can we be a leaving 'em here?

We better get up there.

We call it a government of the people,

We counted about 20 bodies altogether up around there.

We figure to get about 20 bushel to the acre.

We got enough to take care of already.

We got to wait.

We gotta wipe out those nests.

We haven't room for that many here. Take them back up the line.

We were born here.

We'll be a fixing this here bridge.

We'll drink against that.

We'll go this a way. Go on.

We'll never get through.

We'll see. Here.

We're all in here in Pastor Pile's store.

We're gonna get about 60.

We're not far enough back.

We're right behind their lines. We'll skirt this ridge and flank 'em.

We're running shy of these.

Well, any of you fellows want another chance at that critter,

Well, anyway, Nate was a thinking that your being so busy here,

Well, anyway, since driving over here,

Well, anyway, the doors open up and now, buddy, this is where the fun begins.

Well, as far as that goes, there's plenty to do right here, Alvin.

Well, boys, get your targets ready.

Well, come along, Zeke. You load 'em and I'll shoot 'em.

Well, everybody down our way knows about Daniel Boone.

Well, folks hereabouts wouldn't know what 'em things is for.

Well, go and get it. I ain't a caring.

Well, good Lord.

Well, Gracie and me is kind of busy right now.

Well, he cleaned out that machine gun nest.

Well, he's worth $40 if he's worth a cent.

Well, here we are.

Well, how do I get this exemption?

Well, I ain't a setting myself up as a better man than Pa.

Well, I ain't denying he's yours...

Well, I ain't never learnt, Sergeant.

Well, I ain't no bird and I ain't no squirrel.

Well, I ain't nobody but.

Well, I can get $3 apiece for 'em in Jimtown.

Well, I can't give you any more than one shot, I reckon.

Well, I couldn't just answer that, sir.

Well, I couldn't rightly expect Zeb to hold it for me all this time.

Well, I do, too.

Well, I don't go around kissing men I ain't gonna be a marrying.

Well, I don't rightly know.

Well, I don't want to be no corporal.

Well, I done counted 132 heads, sir.

Well, I figured that was a good place to be

Well, I hope so.

Well, I never thought much on it.

Well, I never... Lookee here...

Well, I oughtn't to do it,

Well, I reckon I can do a little better when I get used to this here rifle gun.

Well, I reckon it's money what talks the loudest.

Well, I reckon there ain't no answer, but,

Well, I reckon you'd like a place to sleep, wouldn't you?

Well, I said I'd be seeing you.

Well, I sure don't blame you none.

Well, I sure would like to be a buying that there mule back.

Well, I tell you. I was thinking maybe I could shoe your mules for you.

Well, I think that's up to you, Alvin.

Well, I think we can disregard that.

Well, I was a figuring on a buying Abraham back.

Well, I was expecting to take over from here myself.

Well, I was... I was a laying behind that log there.

Well, I'd like to do you a favor, Alvin, but...

Well, I'll be blowed.

Well, I'll learn 'em fellows to shoot the best I can,

Well, I'll sure take care of my men the best I can, sir.

Well, I'll tell you.

Well, I'm a gonna change it.

Well, I'm as much against killing as ever, sir.

Well, I'm mighty glad to hear that, sir.

Well, I'm much obliged to you, Major Buxton and Captain Danforth.

Well, if I could only get home, back in 'em there hills, I...

Well, if it ain't, I'd be pretty hard to please.

Well, if it's all the same to everybody,

Well, if you can farm that bottomland like you've been doing the top,

Well, isn't he be coming back?

Well, it can't. It can't stand there

Well, it done said,

Well, it sure is a fine rifle gun.

Well, it sure looks like I ain't got nothing to offer you excepting a big wedding.

Well, it weren't to be.

Well, it wouldn't do no harm.

Well, it's a bargain. I'll take it.

Well, it's just gotta come to a fellow.

Well, look, a subway is a big hole in the ground, see?

Well, looks like he's done a heap already,

Well, maybe we can figure it so you can sharecrop the piece.

Well, now, if you shoot this one here, the leader,

Well, once around her is twice around Bear Mountain.

Well, right about there.

Well, Sam was fitting to be tied.

Well, Sergeant, what do you think of it?

Well, shucks. That sure got me stumped.

Well, sir, we can't find our outfit and we tried to drop 'em off two other places.

Well, sir...

Well, sure it's yours, Zeb, but if you'll only allow me to talk...

Well, take your time.

Well, tell him I'll be there.

Well, tell him I'll stop by the store on the way home.

Well, thank you. And thank you all.

Well, that ain't right either, if you wanna get more than one turkey.

Well, that can't be.

Well, that, it means, if you're exempted, you don't have to go.

Well, that's just the point, Captain.

Well, that's one way of figuring it.

Well, the Book says so.

Well, the next time get your sling a little higher on your arm.

Well, the way I figure,

Well, then don't you talk that way to me again, Alvin!

Well, then I reckon we can put it in writing.

Well, there ain't any English people down our way, just Americans.

Well, there's a beef and turkey shoot coming up. You must've heard about it.

Well, there's a heap of difference

Well, there's just one thing I'd like to ask you.

Well, they won't get me. I'll go back in 'em hills.

Well, Tom ain't more than a hair off,

Well, we ain't done much thinking on it, mister.

Well, we're gonna have curtains in the windows and carpets on the floors.

Well, what about that there hound dog he's got with him?

Well, what with the governor fixing to marry us

Well, with the help of the Lord, I'll make you a good crop.

Well, yes. In a way I agree with you.

Well, York, what you've just told me is the most extraordinary thing of all.

Well, you can have him back for $20.

Well, you can't...

Well, you got to write a letter to the draft board.

Well, you see, I...

Well, you see, the people are just coming from work and they wanna get home, see,

Well, you wouldn't have no luck that way, Pusher.

Well, you'll be taking care of things from now on, George.

Well, you're welcome, York.

Well, you've to tell him how much you like it, how much good it's done you.

Well, your pa had this here farm

Well. Well, sure I'll register. Will you write the letter for me?

Well...

Well...

Well...

Well...

What about artillery support, Captain Tillman?

What about that there piece of land I was aiming to get in Tomkins holler?

What are they a fighting for?

What are we drinking to, Alvin?

What are you doing here, George?

What are you getting at, Alvin York?

What did Grandpa have?

What did you wanna go over there for?

What do it look like?

What do you mean?

What do you see, Alvin? Tell me.

What does that mean?

What I done to him that night we were visiting you weren't right.

What I got to do is my own.

What I'd like to know is, how do you fellows get into this valley?

What kind of law is it that says a man's got to go

What made you decide to change your mind?

What war?

What we done in France was something we had to do.

What were your men doing all this time, Corporal?

What would we do with them?

What you be having, Alvin?

What you'd be wanting with me, Alvin York?

What?

What?

What?

What... What would you do, Mr. Hull?

What... What's that there exemption?

What... Why, Miss Gracie,

What'll we drink to, lke?

What's the idea of going to China? I thought this war was in Europe.

What's the matter, Alvin?

What's the matter?

What's this here subway you're talking about?

What's up?

When are you coming home, Alvin?

When do you think I can go?

When he went out alone into the wilderness?

When I started out I felt just like you said.

When I'm hell bent to fall.

When the Lord was a giving Moses the Ten Commandments,

When you and Pa got hitched, what did Pa have to set up with?

Where did you learn to shoot, York?

Where he says, "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one"?

Where were you?

Where you going?

Where'd you get 'em ideas, Alvin?

Where's Savage?

Where's Zeb?

Whereby all men were pledged to defend the rights of each man,

Which as you know, lies just beyond these hills.

Which one of your men is York?

Which way would you be a going?

Which we absolutely guarantee will not fade or shrink.

Who done that? Who throwed that grenade?

Who is it?

Who was you saying it was?

Who was you saying it was?

Whoa, Fred.

Whoa, Noah.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa, Noah.

Whoa.

Why don't we drink against something?

Why don't you have a turn with her, Alvin? Take you back to your log rolling days.

Why, a red fox skin ain't worth nothing this time of the year.

Why, I never knowed it was all written down.

Why, I reckon we drunk to pretty near everything there is.

Why, I sure wish the Lord would throw in.

Why, I'd be glad to, Alvin. Come on over here.

Why, it kind of cuts down the haze.

Why, it's Alvin York.

Why, just drop a dollar apiece in this here hat.

Why, some girls don't even get that.

Why, sure enough. I reckon it just slipped my mind.

Why, that's 25 cents apiece. They're worth twice that much.

Why, that's a right fair price, Pastor.

Why, the... The war in Europe.

Why, twixt the two of you, you'd have old Satan down in a jiffy.

Why, you was only just...

Why, you're the dang swangest hero raised in these parts

Will you?

With other things besides plowing.

Without there's a lot of deep roots a holding it up.

Women folks around here wear split bonnets.

Won't take more than two, three years, I reckon.

Won't that make the bullet come out faster?

Word just come. They're a taking you for the army.

Works hard, Alvin does.

Would you be a telling me again sometime?

Would you be a telling them that for me, please?

Wouldn't even stop hunting when winter come.

Wouldn't even stop...

Wrestle him, Alvin, wrestle him like you would a bear.

Yeah, about half the German army and a general.

Yeah, and they'll put hounds on your trail,

Yeah, he might be.

Yeah, I hear that...

Yeah, what's the answer?

Yeah, wished I could get me another mule like old Flora.

Yeah, yeah. I'll be coming home, Gracie, right away.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yep, fighting could have been mighty plentiful

Yep.

Yep.

Yep. It took Luke three days of mule paddling

Yes, certainly.

Yes, he was quite a man, one of the greatest.

York, Alvin C.

York, as your superior officer, I don't feel called upon to look into your conscience.

York, Captain Danforth has just handed me a report concerning you,

York, have you ever read this?

York, Sergeant Parsons recommends your promotion

York, take over.

York, what do you suppose that Boone was looking for

York, with your permission, Major?

You ain't a fitting to come a visiting a girl.

You ain't got no choice. This was the last appeal.

You and a lot more of 'em's going to be mighty sorry.

You and the Lord could throw him, Alvin.

You applied for exemption, I believe, as a conscientious objector.

You are plum right, Pastor.

You as much as told me that you were quite prepared to die for your country,

You better be getting along.

You better draw down, Alvin.

You better get yourself a pair of 'em specs, Zeke.

You better get, both of you!

You better go get that fox, George.

You better sight him mighty fine, Alvin. That there is the last turkey.

You call that clean?

You can't hit him if you can't see him, Alvin.

You coming peaceful?

You could be hanging a bucket on.

You couldn't be taking 'em off our hands, could you?

You did, huh?

You don't think much of yourself, do you?

You done given me a powerful lot to be a thinking about.

You figuring to get that whole critter?

You got any corn without no lye in it?

You got meat!

You got the rest of your payment?

You got the using kind of religion, not the meetinghouse kind, but you...

You got to beat Tom's shot if you want to get the whole beef, Alvin.

You got to report to Nashville tomorrow night.

You gotta be, in this business.

You gotta make him let loose of you before it's too late.

You have a very excellent camp record.

You have been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.

You joining up now or you waiting to be called?

You know about him?

You know what I'm a saying?

You know, I don't see how you get five bushels off of that there land of yours.

You know, I know and so do the Sheriff. You're from over here in Tennessee.

You know, you only flop for...

You know, you Yanks just got here in the nick of time.

You lose the whole caboodle and you don't get the land.

You mean as to whether he'll fight or not?

You mean I can go home?

You mean they can make you go to war even if it's against what you think is right?

You mean to say that you and seven others captured all that bunch?

You mean to say you don't know what a subway is? That guy kidding?

You mean to tell me that you did it to save lives?

You missed!

You plumb missed him but you cut wood.

You put your trust in the Lord and he'll look out for you.

You reckon it'd do any good?

You reckon you know about that, do you?

You remember that verse, I think it's in Luke,

You said he was worth $40 and I allowed you $30.

You see, I believe in the Bible,

You see, they have to run trains under the ground in New York,

You sure ain't expecting too much of a husband.

You sure got him, Alvin. Ought to be eating good if he ain't too tough.

You sure got some shooters against you.

You sure growed up all of a sudden like...

You tell him. You talk better English than I do.

You thinking that's it, aren't you?

You understand now, don't you, Alvin?

You want to plow your fields as you see fit,

You want to worship God in your own way.

You was fighting.

You was?

You... You lend me a couple of...

You... You say you believe in the Bible?

You... You'll be a killing two birds with one stone.

You'd be a coming if you wanted to, Miss Gracie.

You'll be a seeing 'em.

You'll be free to go.

You're a figuring on setting up, ain't you, Son?

You're a pretty famous man now.

You're just tetched.

You're plumb right, Alvin.

You're welcome.

You've been asked now.

You've been plowing around that rock a heap of years.

You've got to go, Alvin. It's the law.

Young'uns like you ain't got no business in a place like this here, nohow.
