About says it all, no? Soldier: We ought to pull out. Chamberlain: No, we cant do that. Soldier: We cant hold them again, sir. Chamberlain: If we dont, they go right over the hill and the flank caves in. Soldier: Here they come. Chamberlain: We cant run away. If we stay here, we cant shoot. So lets fix bayonets. Well have the advantage moving down the hill. They must be tired if we are. So fix bayonets. Chamberlain: Ellis, you take the left wing. Ill take the right. Right wheel forward, the whole regiment. Ellis: You mean charge? Chamberlain: Yes, but heres what we do. Were going to charge swinging down the hill. Just like we pulled back to the left side; well swing it down like a door. Well sweep them down the hill as they come up. Understand? Chamberlain: Does everybody understand? Staff: Yes, sir! Chamberlain: Ellis, take the left wing. When I command, the whole regiment goes forward swinging down to the right. Ellis: All right, sir. Fine. Chamberlain: Move. Chamberlain: Bayonets!
