There’s gonna be a war, man. I can see it. There’s gonna be a war between the blacks and between the whites. You ain’t even gonna need a uniform no more. This ain’t gonna be a war where you pick your side. Your side’s already picked for you.

Awfully decent of you to drop in today. Do you realize our army is facing disastrous defeat? What do you intend to do about it?

I’ve done it already.
