Quote context

[...]

- I have some news. Fannin is doing well at Goliad.

- He has mustered almost a thousand men and should be ready to move south by the first of the week.

- A thousand? It don't seem possible.

- It does sound too good to be true, I must confess. But we can only admit our doubts to each other. In the privacy of a room and not in front of the men.

- As far as the volunteers are concerned, we'll be sure that Fannin has a thousand men, or more.

- I got a reputation for truth, Travis. I ain't. Everybody says I'm a born liar.

- But whether we talk out loud or quiet don't seem to me the point right now.

- Whether he does or doesn't, we'll be trapped here. And for no reason.

- What we should do is burn all of Bexar, including this mission...

- And fight a harassing action?

You know something, Flaca? I guess I saw who knows how many trees before I ever took a long, thoughtful look at one. Mostly, I looked at a tree to see was there a bear in it or an Indian behind it.
Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober. However they choose.
