Dwayne Hickman: Clay Shelby

Quotes 

• Charlie Wooster : How long have you been married?

  Clay Shelby : Three months today.

  Charlie Wooster : That calls for a celebration. You bring your bride over tonight and I'll bake you a cake.

• Ann Shelby : Clay, you never told me about your folks. What happened to them? My father was killed in the war. At Manassas. Were you in the war, Clay? Of course not. You couldn't have been more than 15 when the war started.

  Clay Shelby : I'll take the bowl back.

• Clay Shelby : I enlisted as a Drummer Boy with the Georgia Volunteers. I was 14. I was taken prisoner four months later in Pittsburgh. They gave us a choice. Prison or the Northern Frontier with the Union forces. I'd sworn to anything to get out of that stinking Union prison. I thought things would be better but Sergeant Bragan made Fort Brewer almost as much of a hellhole as Pittsburgh had been.
