In this short scene, Enos and Nestor continue their conversation. Enos tells Nestor that he will not be able to participate in the mission because of his health problems, and Nestor tells him that his father's health has also declined. Nestor tells Enos that he is sorry to have to go to the boondocks to deliver the papers he requested, and Enos says that he wishes he could have seen the looks of his death on the faces of the old men who have come to see him. He says that when they read his report, they were just waiting for his troubles to come in, and that he would have loved to see the looks on their faces when he died. Nestor says that the papers Enos requested were filthy, and he asks why they called them "injuns" . Nestor asks why Enos's brother is dead, and when he says that, he is interrupted by Nestor's wife, who says that Enos got all excited when he heard he was going to town
