I left that life in the old world, Mister. And the kid here isn’t cut for it. If you’ll kindly let us on our way.
RECRUITER *
I beg to differ, sir! I beg to differ. And why waste your God-given talents? You Irish were bred for it! It is in your blood! Picture You and You. In cobalt blue. Shiny Brown Bess musket in your hand. You. From where? Some no-name village in a starving land? You, a member of the
U.S. Army. Imagine it. You, in the U.S. Army. Now how does that sound?
