to have this opportunity tonight...

to thank you from our hearts...

for your kind welcome

and, most of all, such a fine chapel,

So...

... thank you, and God bless you,

Our house is always open

to any of you at any time,

welcome,

Esco?

That gentleman - he help build the chapel?

Him? No, that's Teague,

At one time the Teague family

owned the whole of Cold Mountain,

My farm, your farm,

it all belonged to his grandpappy,

Teague wanted this place bad,

and you got it,

And he's here sniffin' out an advantage,

There's no advantage here,

except to celebrate a job well done,

And that is a good thing

in these troubled times,

- Miss Monroe,

- Thank you,

- were you never planning to come inside?

- I'm wetter than a fish,

- There's a good fire going,

- I'm all right,

You're always carrying a tray,

I was going to take some root beer

over to the Negroes,

Somebody said you were enlisting,

- Are you?

- If there is a war, we'll all fight,

- Did you get a picture made?

- Say again?

A tintype, with your musket

and your courage on display,

You're laughin' at me,

I don't know you,

This doesn't come out right,

If it were enough just to stand,

without the words...

It is,

It is,

You... look,

look, look at the sky now,

what color is it?

Or the way... a hawk flies?

Or you wake up...

and your ribs are bruised

thinking so hard on somebody,

what do you call that?

I'll do that,

I can't get much wetter,

what if you are killed,

and I'll never see you again?

You said after a few years

I would barely remember your name.

Oh, Inman.

It is more than three years,

and I remember your name.

Soldiers, Don't get up,

You are mentioned tonight in my report,

You men from Cold Mountain have

once again been heroes for the cause,

There are Yankees in that stand of trees

between us, stuck there from the retreat,

If they stay there, tomorrow mornin'

they can shoot us down for sport.

Go around,

- It's a Reb!

How many of them are there?

I think there's five,

Under the trees,

- we got 'em,

- let's go, let's go,

Butcher's down,

leave him, leave him,

He's gone, let's go,

Go, go! Go! Run!

- Go! Go! Go!

- Hold your fire!

what's over by them trees?

It's us! It's us!

I said hold your fire! Hold your fire,

leave him, leave him,

Agh!

Inman'll get it.

Supposed to bring good luck,

a bird caught in a room,

I'm so sorry to have kept you

waiting, She'll just be a few seconds,

- Mr, Inman,

- Reverend,

- what can I do for you?

- I have some sheet music,

It belonged to my father,

No use to me,

Thank you,

- You must come in,

- I should probably get along,

Mr, Inman is more comfortable outdoors,
