[Chamberlain meets Kilrain for the first time]
Sgt. Buster Kilrain:
Mornin' to ya, sir. Colonel Ames sent me to get ya. Thought you'd be needin' a drop o' this.
Sgt. Buster Kilrain:
[offers Chamberlain a mug of coffee]
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Oh, thank you. Uh...
Sgt. Buster Kilrain:
Kilrain, sir, Sergeant Kilrain. Glad to be of service. You know, Colonel... the boys, well... we've been watchin' you, sir. That we have. You've learned fast. It's becomin' a pleasure to serve under ya.
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Yes, well, thank you. Are you a veteran, Sergeant?
Sgt. Buster Kilrain:
Aye, sir. I suppose you could say that. Did me duty in the regular army for a while. Did the great long walk with General Scott down south of the Rio Grande.
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Hmm. Some of the men you fought with in Mexico are on the other side. Almost all of their generals.
Sgt. Buster Kilrain:
Oh, it gets worse than generals, Colonel. Some o' the lads that I left Ireland with are on the other side as well. Imagine that. We left together to escape a tyranny... and end up shootin' at one another in the Land of the Free.
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
I, too, have friends on the other side, Sergeant. And enemies.
Sgt. Buster Kilrain:
Yes, sir. No shortage of enemies, that's for sure.
