💬 Glory (1989) War

A good man can fire three aimed shots in a minute.

A great and a terrible day.

A million and one.

A natural defile through which we can only send one regiment at a time.

A word, please.

About face!

Aim!

Ain't give no blue suit to no black soldiers. Blue suits for the whites.

Ain't much matter what happens tomorrow...

Ain't nobody gonna win. It's gonna go on and on.

Ain't that right, snowflake?

Ain't that so?

All of the men, like this?

All right, company, in a line. Double quick!

All right, I'll just

All right, men, form a firing line. Over here.

All right.

All right. See...

All you good colored boys, go ahead and sign up.

Along with confiscated valuables shipped north as personal baggage.

Also, if I should fall...

And all the time I'm digging, I'm asking myself:

And all your troubles would be over, huh?

And dying's what these white boys been doing for going on three years.

And for less money too!

And I have no fear. Amen.

And I will.

And it wouldn't be nothing but Rebs dying, if they let the 54th in it.

And now I'll have to burn this town.

And the first one that must be taken is that: Fort Wagner.

And there is no doubt that we will leave this state...

And they gotta know that nobody's gonna let them fight. Am I right?

And we all covered up in it too. I mean, ain't nobody clean.

And what about Thomas? Why are you so hard on him?

And what are you?

And you would not know from the sound of it that this is an Army camp.

And you?

And your comrades?

And...

Another victory!

Ante up and kick in like men. Like men!

Any n**** taken in Federal uniform...

Any white officer taken in command of n**** troops...

Are we really gonna get to fight this time?

Are you a gentleman? Are you a member of congress, or something?

Arms!

As ever, your son, Robert.

As many of you gentlemen may be aware...

As you were, Trip. As you were!

As you were.

Assemble the men.

Attention, battalion!

Attention, company!

Attention, company.

Attention!

Attention.

Battalion, halt!

Battalion!

Bayonets!

Be nice to get clean though.

Beating on a ****** make him feel strong.

Before this war began...

Beg to report, colonel, sir.

Better?

Biscuits and gravy sound good to me. Maybe get myself some real shoes.

Bonnie Prince Charlie and his little toy bayonet.

Boss, when do we get the blue suit?

Boy, if you don't quit that drumming in here....

Boy.

But he in the same boat with us.

But I am afraid I shall show that I am not of much account.

But I don't have to wait for all that, do I?

But I feel that only a letter directly from you to Lincoln himself...

But I still don't wanna carry your flag.

But the moment they are dismissed from drill...

But this time we must make it a whole country...

But valuable to your operations here, do you say?

But we are not disheartened.

But you ain't never gonna be nothing to him...

Can anything be done?

Can you picture me in charge of a regiment?

Can you?

Captain Shaw. I was so proud when I heard.

Carry on, Sergeant Mulcahy.

Cease fire! Recover!

Certainly, colonel.

Certainly.

Change the colors, sergeant major.

Change the colors.

Charge!

Charming. Extraordinary conversationalists, every one.

Collard greens.

Colonel Montgomery, would you bring that ashtray over here?

Colonel Montgomery's a real jayhawker from Kansas.

Colonel Shaw!

Colonel Shaw?

Colored soldiers, Robert. Just think of it.

Come on now, cheer up. Hey.

Come on now. You're doing fine.

Come on, 54th!

Come on, dream.

Come on, give us some food, man.

Come on, men, forward!

Come on, stab, not tickle. Hit me.

Come on, you men! Come on! Don't stop! Get up there!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Show us a little dance, will you, boys?

Come on.

Company commanders, order your men to wait here!

Company commanders, we'll wait here and advance under cover of darkness.

Company officers, take charge.

Company, forward, march!

Company, forward!

Company, halt!

Congratulations.

Contraband regiment is his brainchild.

Corn bread.

Couldn't do it, colonel.

Dashing.

Dear Father, I need your help.

Dear Mother:

Dear, Mother.

Deploy skirmishers, captain.

Despite my many requests, it has become clear...

Develop! Guard!

Develop! Recover!

Discharge your weapon.

Dismissed.

Do it!

Do it! Do it!

Do that again.

Do that again. Here, give him your weapon. Give him that.

Do you?

Does the whole world gotta stomp in your face?

Don't look at me! Look straight ahead! Look straight ahead!

Don't worry about it, buck. Take a good look.

Don't you?

Double quick time!

Double quick!

Dr. Rogers of Philadelphia.

Dr. Thorpe of Salem.

Dummies and field hands. Ain't that a bitch?

Dying by the thousands. Dying for you, fool.

Edward Pierce, special assignment from Harper's Weekly.

En garde! Thrust! Develop! Recover!

Enlisted men wishing to speak to their commanding officer...

Even talk like the buckra soldier.

Excuse me.

Eyes front!

Eyes right!

Eyes...

Fall in, on the double.

Fall in! On the double!

Fall in. Quiet in the ranks.

Fall out to set torches. Prepare to fire the town.

False quartermaster requisitions.

Faster than white troops, it seems to me.

Faster!

Faster! Load.

Faster.

Fifty seven caliber Enfield rifle musket. Best in the world here, boy.

Finally.

Fire!

Firing by battalion!

First squad, second platoon! Fall out!

First squad, second platoon.

For God's sake, come on!

For God's sake, do you not know your right from your left?

For God's sakes, men, you march like a bunch of crippled old goats!

Forbes!

Forbes.

Form a firing line right here.

Form companies?

Form up! Form up!

Forward at the half step. March!

Forward march!

Forward on my command!

Forward, march!

Forward, march.

Forward, men! Forward!

Forward!

Forward! Forward, men!

Four thousand bales of cotton smuggled through the lines...

General Hunter rounded up a bunch of slaves from the fields...

General Strong.

Good afternoon, colonel.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning, major. You're up early.

Good shot, man.

Good. Very good.

Good. Why don't you move your free black ass before I bust it up?

Got something for you.

Governor, you know my son Robert.

Guard!

Guard! Thrust!

Handing out guns to a thousand coloreds?

Have a pair.

Have they seen any mischief?

He a swell.

He just a boy.

He says Lincoln is gonna issue an emancipation proclamation.

He wants to fight...

He writes vouchers.

He's around here somewhere.

He's mute.

He's not a very good soldier. I'm getting these men ready for battle.

He's your brigade commander.

Headquarters has determined a time for our attack.

Here's a pair there. One pair of shoes here.

Here's another pair. One pair per customer.

Hey, buck up, now. Come on.

Hey, come over here, hon.

Hey, get your hands off me, gravedigger.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, look here, snowflake, I ain't got nothing to learn from no house ******.

Hey, pop, you fitting to lay down for this too?

Hey, Robert.

Hey, would you quit that? Say, boy, quit that drumming.

Hey, you barefoot men, come on out here!

Hey!

Hey.

Hey. Hey, come on, now. Buck up, boys.

Hey. Hey, come on. Where's your pride, now?

Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!

Hired a group of New Englanders...

His words come home to me like truth.

Honey, why don't you take your drum on outside and practice?

How about you?

How do we do that?

How do we look, colonel? We gonna whup the Secesh?

How do, colonel?

How grand it is to meet the men from all the states, east and west...

How many are left?

How many here do not know right from left?

How much longer do you figure they last?

How should I treat them?

How you like the Army, contraband?

Hurts, doesn't it?

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

I ain't much about no praying now.

I ain't never had no family and....

I ain't sure I'm wanting this, colonel.

I am a free man, as was my father before me.

I am Colonel Robert Gould Shaw.

I am honored to be part of such a splendid company.

I am placed in a position where, if I were a man of real strength...

I am sure you both pray, as I do...

I am surprised at how well you handle them.

I am your commanding officer.

I can report you to the War Department.

I can think of no other course.

I can't believe the kind of things we hear.

I didn't win though.

I don't have to listen to this.

I don't know, sir.

I don't think we got a prayer of making the paper.

I don't want to stand in their way because of my own weakness.

I figure the nigs never had it so good.

I guess the whole world hate the ******.

I have got my hands on the most delicious local jam.

I have no doubt that you are a fair man, Mulcahy.

I have some letters here.

I have written to Governor Andrew as well as to...

I hear they're deserting, 10 at a time.

I hope you are keeping well and not worrying too much about me.

I just wanted to say....

I know exactly how you feel.

I know, because I dug the graves.

I know. It looks like it'll all be over by Christmas.

I mean, a colored soldier stop a bullet just as good as a white one!

I mean, I know how much you'd like to make colonel...

I mean, what's the point?

I mean, you, you get to go on back to Boston, big house and all that.

I miss Christmas on the Shaw Island...

I owe them as much as they've given.

I owe them my freedom...

I said what's your name, boy?

I said, get up!

I said, get up.

I see.

I sleep better close up on that door.

I think you do.

I understand you were at Antietam.

I wanna talk to you.

I want 600 pair of shoes and 1200 pair of socks...

I wanted to say....

I will not.

I will.

I won't permit that kind of fraternization.

I wonder if you are treating these men too hard.

I wonder if you might do something for me.

I would be honored to have you.

I'd be happy to teach you. It would be my pleasure.

I'd like to speak to you for a moment in private, if I may.

I'd like you to meet some of our instructors.

I'd love to help you, colonel, but we just don't have any.

I'd rather have a hog than a ******. At least you could eat the hog!

I'll be fine over here.

I'll eat your ass up, boyo.

I'll just have a look around, see that you haven't misplaced them.

I'll see you in the fort, Thomas.

I'll talk to you later in your tent.

I'm a colonel, nasty little cuss.

I'm afraid that kind of item has to be reserved...

I'm from around Tennessee.

I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna work on you, you bastard, until I get you broken.

I'm hiking a company over to the Georgia coast in the morning.

I'm not going back.

I'm telling you, boy. They find out, they liable to shoot you.

I'm waiting on you.

I've been hit!

I've got the guard. Let me use your looking glass.

I've run for president.

I've sent for help.

I've submitted your name to be commissioned colonel...

I've written a letter to my father...

If there are any ******s around here, it's you.

If things continue to go badly, I wonder if I might not end my days...

If this man should fall...

If you ain't careful, that's all you ever gonna be.

If you don't believe in what we're doing here...

If you don't mind, I'd prefer a space with more sufficient reading light.

If you men will take no pay...

If you wouldn't mind getting down from your horse.

If you're not here in the morning...

In accordance with President Lincoln's wishes...

Is it true they cut your balls off at birth?

It is a great pleasure to see you all here today.

It is an immoral order, and by articles of war I am not bound to obey it.

It is impossible to imagine Boston with slaves.

It is my hope that the same courage...

It is my job...

It reads:

It stinks bad.

It stinks, I suppose.

It would be a great help if I could talk to you...

It'll be all right.

It's a collection of essays actually.

It's all a memory now that the North man come.

It's all right.

It's Colonel Shaw, isn't it?

It's considered quite an honor.

It's not true, is it? I mean, about not being allowed to fight.

It's Thomas.

Jesus Christ, we're gonna be here day and night until we get this right.

Jesus, have pity.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what have we here?

Jupiter Sharts, sir. What it about, that book?

Just as soon as I can write the orders.

Just say what you think. Just say what you feel. Go on now.

Just your sort of people, I should think.

Keep your ranks!

Kendric, division quartermaster.

Last night we heard of yet another defeat.

Left Get your goddamn hand out of your pocket, soldier!

Left, right, left, right, little finger along the seams of your trousers?

Left.

Left. Left, right, left.

Left. Left. Left, right.

Left. Up tight up there.

Let him grow up some more.

Let me tell you a wee secret, son.

Let me tell you something, boy.

Let you by?

Let you take your regiment out to fight.

Let's clear her out!

Let's go! Move! Move!

Let's hear it for the colonel!

Lighten your skin. Shrink up that nose.

Like men?

Listen, if there's anything you need.

Look around you. You really think anybody's gonna put these boys...

Look like we going the wrong way.

Look out, boy! Look out!

Look, have a drink.

Lord...

Mainly, I forgot how hot it was down here.

Major Forbes here has seen the copies.

Major Forbes, give me your Colt revolver.

Major Forbes.

Major? Forbes?

Major.

Make your mark right here.

Mama, they're coming home! They're coming home!

March!

Marching is probably all they'll ever get to do, Robert.

May God bless us all!

May I sit?

Maybe not in the border states or something...

Maybe so do you, Cabot.

Men, get down over there! Get down!

Merry Christmas, Robert.

Merry Christmas, Thomas.

Merry Christmas.

Million readers want to know what happens...

Mr. Douglass.

Mr. Rawlins, this regiment was formed with the promise...

Mr. Rawlins.

My dearest love to Father.

My eye!

Name's Searles. Thomas Searles.

Needless to say...

Never question my authority in front of others.

Never shoot it. Shoot now?

News today of the defeat at Fredericksburg.

Nice meeting you, Shaw.

****** forgot to duck. That's all.

****** soldiers! ****** soldiers!

******, is you an old man or is you an old woman? I forget.

******, you ain't nothing but the white man's dog.

No one will ever take Charleston...

No shame, son. Get up.

No, no, no, sir.

No, no. It was not just my idea. Mr. Douglass and some of us

No, sir.

No, sir. Now.

No!

No! Forbes!

No! Wait!

No.

Not for ******s, you don't.

Not him.

Nothing was mentioned, however, about noncommissioned officers.

Now do it again. Only this time, I want it done quickly.

Now Grant's taken Vicksburg and all on the Fourth of July.

Now that we come.

Now the roads are choked with the dispossessed.

Now you're learning, boyo.

Now, I run off...

Now, you'll obey and you'll like it.

Of course they deserted. So would I.

Oh, excuse me, Thomas.

Oh, give me the details. I'll wire it in.

Oh, I like it when ******s talk good as white folk.

Oh, look at this. Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Oh, lordy, this is bad.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my, my, my.

Oh, right, right.

Rob, is it true? There's to be a colored regiment?

Robert, come on! We must fall back!

Robert, have you met Frederick Douglass?

Robert, not with a whip. Not on them.

Robert, promise me...

Robert, they're already as good as the Seventh ever was.

Robert!

Robert! Are you all right?

Robert! Darling, there's someone who wishes to meet you.

Robert.

Run, you Rebs!

Said the lady over there give him biscuits and gravy.

Save it, son. Save it.

Secesh come, take him, kill him too.

See, I am from Kentucky originally and we owned a few ourselves...

See, let me explain something to you.

See, someday they're gonna let the 54th get into it, see?

See, the way I figure, I figure this war would be over a whole lot sooner...

Sergeant major.

Sergeant Mulcahy.

Sergeant of the guard, post your sentry.

Sergeant Rawlins has recommended that you receive a commendation.

Sergeant, deal with that man.

Shall I go on?

Sharts.

Shaw, meet Colonel Montgomery.

Shaw!

Shaw.

She said, if he bring his friends, she feed them too.

Shit, I can knock something down with this.

Shoes, sir.

Shoes! Shoes!

Shoot the lady, boys!

Shoulder arms!

Shoulder!

Show what they can do.

Sir.

Smart mouth, stupid ass, swamp running ******.

So full of hate you just wanna go and fight everybody...

So how was your meal?

So I'm standing here this evening, Heavenly Father...

So it seems.

So it's the neck, right, captain?

So that if tomorrow is our great getting up morning...

So the white man give you a couple of stripes...

So, Lordy, let me fight with the rifle in one hand...

Some things never change.

Somebody's gonna win.

Son of a bitch!

South Carolina? Well, you ought to know better than that, boy.

Splendid.

Stab me.

Stand. Fire!

Steady, boys!

Step right up, make your mark. Get your slave wages.

Steward, is there anything you need?

Still no word.

Still want that blue suit, ******?

Stop!

Stop. Start it again. In each rank. Count!

Stripes on a ******.

Suck in that gut.

Take cover in the dunes!

Take cover!

Take your hands off the white lady.

Teach them properly, major.

Tear it up, tear it up, tear it up, tear

Tear it up, tear it up, tear it up!

Tear it up, tear it up!

Tear it up! Tear it up!

Tell your men to set torches and prepare to fire the buildings.

Ten dollar, a lot of money.

Thank you for sending my volume of Emerson.

Thank you, governor. That's It's a wonderful idea.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir. Squirrel hunting.

Thank you.

Thank you. Major.

That ain't fair. They said 13.

That Colonel Shaw, he a hard man.

That if I should die at the muzzle of the rifle...

That is an order.

That is, if you think your men are up to it.

That man is Secesh, and Secesh is all the same, son.

That might not be living, but it sure ain't dying.

That would not have been necessary if that Secesh woman hadn't started it.

That's all right. Brass are all up to division, planning the next disaster.

That's all.

That's like tits on a bull.

That's right, hons. Ain't no dream.

That's right, sir.

That's right. Tear it up, tear it up.

That's what you want, isn't it?

That's you.

The 54th Massachusetts...

The boy was off trying to find hisself some shoes, colonel.

The governor is proposing to raise a regiment of n**** soldiers.

The Massachusetts men passed through here this morning.

The men are all living for that day. I know I am.

The men learn very quickly.

The men need shoes, colonel.

The men's good humor darkened by idleness and despair.

The ocean and the marsh leave only a narrow strip of sand.

The only thing you're to learn to do is to keep your mouth shut.

The prisoner is in position, sir.

The prisoner is to be flogged before the entire regiment.

The problem, gentlemen, is the approach.

The regiment should enjoy their stay here.

The rémoulade was a trifle tart...

The rifles?

The troop is fed and bedded down for the night, sir.

Their music, their camaraderie...

Then I am your first volunteer.

Then the War Department decided to issue them pikes rather than guns.

There's a rumor going around...

There's a shortage of housing.

There's character.

There's more to fighting than rest, sir.

There's strength of heart.

Therefore, in recognition of initiative taken not only for yourself...

These men need a proper teacher.

They ain't gonna shoot him, is they?

They are almost grave and sedate under instruction...

They are indeed, sir.

They give them $13, only gonna give us but ten? You gonna go for that?

They have given up their freedom.

They have made me captain, of which I am enormously proud.

They have risked their lives to be here.

They must have had to learn this from long hours of meaningless...

They'll never learn.

They're little children. Little monkey children.

They're turning tail!

They've been working for weeks in anticipation of your arrival.

They've done it.

Think you can handle that, boy?

Thirty four mansions, I think it was, pillaged and burned...

This feels funny.

This is your front!

This is your rear! This is your right! And this

This might hurt you, captain. I'm sorry.

This morning I

This morning I have been notified...

This sorry piece of work is Haggis.

This year, every day like Christmas.

Thomas, listen to me. You're shot. You have to go back.

Three square a day, a roof over their heads.

Throw it over here.

Thrust! Develop!

Thrust! Develop! Recover!

To set their minds free so quickly...

Town's clean, sir. Ain't no Rebs here, just some women.

Trip.

Trip. Come on.

Try as I may, I don't know these men.

Tuck in them big, black lips.

Twit.

Very good, corporal. Pass the word along to A company...

Very good, sir.

Wagner mounts a 10 inch Columbiad...

Want to fight me, boy?

Wanting to say something, sir, but I....

We ante up and kick in, sir.

We ask these blessings in Jesus' name. Amen.
