Col. Montgomery:
[ordering the burning of Darien, Georgia]
Prepare your men to light torches and prepare to burn the buildings!
Colonel Robert G. Shaw:
I will not!
Col. Montgomery:
That is an order! You will obey it or you will be charge with Disobeying your Superior Officer!
Colonel Robert G. Shaw:
It is an *immoral order*, and by the Articles of War, I am not bound to obey it!
Col. Montgomery:
Then, you can explain that at your court-martial... after your men are placed under my command!
[Shaw looks at his men, who give him a look indicating their distaste for serving under Montgomery]
Colonel Robert G. Shaw:
First Squad, Second Platoon! Fall out to set torches. Prepare to fire the town!
John Rawlins:
First Squad, Second Platoon! FALL OUT!
[they do so]
