Legends of the Fall1994

Alfred:
I don't know what to say. Tristan's always been wild. You love him for that.

Susannah:
Do I? Yeah, I suppose I do.

Alfred:
Susannah, he does love you.

Colonel Ludlow:
Alfred! She's to be your brother's wife.

Alfred:
Yes, though you might better remind him of that.

Colonel Ludlow:
He's not here to defend himself.

Alfred:
No, he's not but I see you are here to defend him and what is his. Even though he's abandoned her and you. And I won't even speak of who else he abandoned.

Colonel Ludlow:
Damn you, boy. Don't you blame my son for Samuel's death! Samuel chose to be a soldier and soldiers die. Sent to be slaughtered by the men in the government. Parasites like you! Damn and blast you!

Colonel Ludlow:
Damn you too!

Alfred:
Shut your mouth! You leave her out of this!

Colonel Ludlow:
You get out of my house and off my land.

Alfred:
Why? Because I want to serve my country like you did? Or because, like you, I love a woman who doesn't love me? He used her and he deserted her. Your darling Tristan.

Susannah:
Alfred, don't, please.

Alfred:
I loved her! I love her still. And he stole her from me. If you want to know the truth of it he stole her from Samuel before the war.

Colonel Ludlow:
God help me, I'll kill you.
