Lt. General Winfield Scott : This Custer of yours is insubordinate alright-thank God for it. He's not marching on Round Top. He's attacking Stuart at Hanover!
Maj. Romulus Taipe : He's attacking! He's attacking a whole Corps! Rather than hold his ground the mad fool's attacking!
-
Lt. General Winfield Scott : If he turns us, Washington and Baltimore will fall.
[Reads dispatch and recoils in horror]
Lt. General Winfield Scott : Stuart! Stuart's Corps at Hanover? It's a mistake. Get verification at once!
Cpl. Smith : It has been verified, sir.
Lt. General Winfield Scott : He's on our rear. We're trapped. All that stands between us and total disaster is the Michigan brigade, a handful of volunteers.
Maj. Romulus Taipe : But the Michigan Brigade's been ordered to Round Top! It's on it's way now!
Lt. General Winfield Scott : Then stop it Taipe, stop it! Tell them to hold it's ground to the last man.
