It's the Ten Duel Commandments
Number one!

The challenge: demand satisfaction
If they apologize, no need for further action

If they don't, grab a friend, that's your second

Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned

Have your seconds meet face to face

[Alaska:]
Negotiate a peace...

[Texas:]
Or negotiate a time and place

[Alaska:]
This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits

Most disputes die, and no one shoots
Number four!

[California:]
If they don't reach a peace, that's alright
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site

[Texas:]
You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility

You have him turn around so he can have deniability

Five!

Duel before the sun is in the sky

Confess your sins. Ready for the moment
Of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent

Number eight!

[California/Maryland/Texas/Alaska:]
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight...

[Alaska:]
Texas!

[Texas:]
Alaska Juneau, sir

[Alaska:]
Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?

[Texas:]
Sure
But your man has to answer for his words, Juneau

[Alaska:]
With his life? We both know that's absurd, sir

[Texas:]
Hang on, how many men died because Annapolis was inexperienced and ruinous?

Okay, so we're doin' this

Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count
