Transcript
At the cabin! Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince, specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier.
The saga of fighting men who rode the rim of empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, Captain of Cavalry. Poor bells of flour. Destroyed? Yes, sir.
My weevils. Weevils. At least it wasn't nice this time, Mr. Sibart. Sargeant, Gorse, drop it off at the AQM stores. Yes, sir. Captain Quince, Mr. Sarge, major, sir. Morning, major, daggot. Something especially interesting out that window?
Or is it just spring fever? The Quartermaster's report was a little boring this morning. I know. It's hard to stay indoors in a day like this. Looks like springs really hear this time. Rivers rising.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Looks like springs really hear this time. The river's rising, snow melting in the mountains. This warm, we might have a flood like two years ago. The water comes up this high on the block?
Oh, the fort's safe enough, Lieutenant. Trouble comes there, across the river in the civilian settlement. Maybe this year it'll wash those hay ranches right out. And then they'd come right back with a new supply of whiskey.
Now if I had my way, they'd be cleaned out for good. I've cut our guardhouse detail by half. You can't blame the men too much, Major. When payday comes around only once a month. Yeah, suppose not.
Yeah, I guess I've got spring fever, too. First birds of herding months. Yeah. Our snowbirds will be thinking of flying, too. Snowbirds? Winter soldiers. Every year we have a few out here, men who enlisted in the fall, just to get a warm spot for the wind.
