The Rebel Quote
Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary': You remember how Mommy always taught you never to tell a lie?
Virginia 'Virgie' Cary: I never have, Daddy.
Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary': And Mommy's proud of you for it, but if those Yankees should come in here, you've got to tell a lie.
Virginia 'Virgie' Cary: You want me to tell a lie?
Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary': Just this once for Daddy. And in a case like this, it really isn't a lie. If they should ask you, you must tell them that I was here but I left an hour ago and you saw me cross the river. Be brave and do this for me, dear.
Virginia 'Virgie' Cary: Daddy, would General Lee want me to tell that lie?
Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary': Yes, dear.
Virginia 'Virgie' Cary: All right, then, I'll tell a whopper!
