The next morning, the new lieutenant tells the men that he has been appointed to be the new captain of the Third Division. The new lieutenant brags about her disguise skills and her ability to sneak in and out of the camp without being detected. The men are impressed, but the lieutenant tells them that he slipped the opium into their food. The lieutenant says that he took care of the men's chronic constipation by taking care of it himself. He says that the men might be losers, but they deserve to die. He asks the lieutenant to keep watch over the camp at night, but she refuses to do so, saying that she is just an interim lieutenant. He tells her that he finds her abilities as lieutenant very impressive, and that she cannot make him the captain. He wonders how she can make the lieutenant the captain, since she is not a young lady, and he wonders why she is giving him such an important position. He also asks her if she thinks the entrapment tactic of hiss was too much, and she says that it was not. He then asks her to blow on his wounds, which he feels are getting worse.
