Quote context

- It's nothing you'd understand.

- You're drinking gin again.

- Yes, Miss, I sure am.

- It's been such a pleasant day up until now. What is it that's driving you to drink?

- All right. I'll tell ya. It's all your foolish talk about us going on into the lake. All this crazy talk about the Louisa.

- Well, we ain't gonna go.

- But of course we are! What an absurd idea.

- What an absurd idea. What an absurd idea.

- Why don't you want to go on?

- Because of the river and the rapids and then Shona.

- Shona? Oh, yes, yes, where the Germans have a fort.

- Yeah, you're darn right, Shona.

- Just one bullet in that blasting gelatin, Miss, and we'd be little bits and pieces.

- Then we'll go by the fort at night.

- Oh, no, we won't.

- Then we'll go by day.

- We can go on the far side of the river, speeding along just as fast as ever we can.
