Joshua: We made a dogleg a few miles back. I'm just correcting the chart.

Joshua: Well, a man has to look out for his old age, Captain.
Joshua: There's one thing you can give the British credit for is teaching a man how to aim a cannon. That's all I'll give them credit for, though.
Captain Brad Turner: If those are peaceful Indians, I'd sure hate to get in their way when they're on the warpath.
