The Guns of Fort Petticoat Page #3

That's fine, Hetty.

Are you all right?

You won't hit anything, but you'll

sure as blazes scare them to death.

If I remember correctly,

you don't need much practice.

I'll take my gun back

if you don't mind.

Better than any three men,

Lieutenant, any three men.

Most any three men.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Prepare to move out, Sergeant.

Skirts!

Up!

Tuck them in! Tuck them in!

Ready!

Charge!

You're supposed to be doing

a skirmish, not dancing a polka.

Heckles, get down.

The back of your lap

is a hard place to tie a bandage.

This time I want you to hit that

ground so hard it splits wide open.

Oh.

General, this ain't

the kinda work I'm accustomed to.

Can't you think of a more pleasing

arrangement for the both of us?

Fall in!

On the double!

You've got to

brace your feet, girls. Next!

Hold it! Hold it.

That's not the way I showed you.

Get over there, Martin.

You've got to use their momentum.

All right. Fast.

You see?

# We've been working all day long

# We've been working all day long

# We've been working all day long

# Passing the water, darling

# Pass the bucket down the line

# Pass the bucket down the line...

Start on that one over there.

If Indians don't attack at night,

why can't we bring water in there?

Because they'll be needing water.

Sounds reasonable.

# Passing the water, darling

# We've been working all day long

# We've been working... #

It's no wonder. We're not slaves.

You've no right to work us to death.

-- Hetty, my smelling salts.

Get back in line

Keep that water moving.

How dare you talk to me like that.

Move!

You'd better rest for a while.

Sit here.

You'll be all right.

Just a little touch of sun.

Emmett, you've got to help me.

Let's not start that again.

I can't stand it any longer.

I think I'm losing my mind.

You haven't told the others?

No, but it won't take long to guess.

Oh, Emmett, please marry me.

Look, I... told you.

I'm not ready for marriage yet.

Get inside or back behind the wall.

Behind the wall, men.

Now, get down.

Get down!

Let's get to work.

Throw all these pieces down the hole!

It's about ready.

There's a saying

that an army travels on its stomach.

I'm glad we're not going anywhere.

More salt.

Don't waste that lead, it's scarce.

Don't reload these with rough edges.

What's wrong with your petticoat,

Ogden? We need bandages.

I had Hetty give up hers.

Take it off.

What?

Take it off right now.

How dare you?

Take it off, or I'll do it for you.

H-h-hetty?

If you were in South Carolina, sir,

you would be horsewhipped.

Let me introduce a lady, la-di-dah.

La-di-dah, a lady

with a very pompous air, la-di-dah.

# She can't see you pass her by
