Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain: God Almighty, General Meade has his own son as his aide in camp.
Lieutenant General James Longstreet: Sir We will make him repent of having stayed

Private Bucklin: I'm tired, Colonel. I've had all of this army and all of these officers, this damned Hooker, this damned idiot Meade, all of them, the whole bloody lousy rotten mess of sick-brained, pot-bellied scabheads that ain't fit to lead a johnny detail, ain't fit to pour pee out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

James L. Kemper: Well, I got to hand it to you, George. You sure got a talent for trivializing the momentous and complicating the obvious. You ever consider running for Congress?

Since I just treated myself to Director's Cut I have to mention this (which obviously was edited).
The night of July 1 when Pickett & his Brigadiers ride over to Longstreet's HQs (the night they meet Fremantle & play poker), Pickett pulls Longstreet aside and complains about being all the way at the end of an army and possibly missing all the 'excitement'. I can't quote verbatim but Longstreet looks at him and basically says: "So, you'd want the whole Army to move aside so you can sprint to the front?" _________________ I Remain

The best things missing from the non-Director's cut are probably the scenes with Ewell. He's in the opening credits, but none of scenes are in this version.
Jubal Early and someone else (Gordon?) are in a scene together, and after those two walk out, Ewell tells Lee that he, "may have been slow today."
I thought Sheen's best scenes were the ones where he was in his HQ: Stuart, Trimble, and Ewell. This is where he really gives Lee a commanding "presence."
I think I need to get a hold of the script, because there's so many great lines that if I posted them, I'd want to get them exactly right. At one time, I wrote down every single deleted scene. Some of the bloodiest action was cut out too.
There were extended scenes with Buford and Reynolds where Reynolds kind of makes fun of a guy because his glasses are all covered in dust. I didn't care for the mayor, but there were other civilian scenes and I liked Buford's quotes about politicians. He tells Devin something like "...the thing about politicians is that they're fat, lazy and never have a problem with sending men to die for them."
