A Few Good Men Quotes

 Kaffee:
Were you able to speak to your friend at the NIS?
Lt. Weinberg:
Yeah, she said that if Markinson doesn't want to be found, then we're not gonna find him. She said I could be Markinson and you wouldn't know it.
Kaffee:
Are you Markinson?
Lt. Weinberg:
No.
Kaffee:
I'm not Markinson... that's two down. What?
Lt. Weinberg:
I was wondering, now that Joanne's in on this, I was just wondering if you still needed me.
Kaffee:
They were following orders, Sam.
Lt. Weinberg:
An illegal order.
Kaffee:
You think Dawson and Downey knew it was an illegal order?
Lt. Weinberg:
It doesn't matter what they knew. Any decent human being would have refused.
Kaffee:
They're not permitted to question orders.
Lt. Weinberg:
Then what's the secret? I mean, what are the magic words? I give orders every day nobody ever follows them.
Kaffee:
Sam, we have softball games and marching bands. They work at a place where you have to wear camouflage or they might get shot! I need you. You're better at research than I am and you know how to prepare a witness.
Galloway:
[Galloway arrives] I have medical reports and Chinese food. I say we eat first. [pause, Weinberg is pondering]
Galloway:
What?
Lt. Weinberg:
You got any Kung Pao chicken?
Kaffee:
Alright, here's our defense. Intent, no one can prove there was any poison on the rag. Code reds, they're common and accepted in Guantanimo Bay. The order, A, Kendrick gave it, B they had no choice but to follow it. That's it.
Lt. Weinberg:
What about motive?
Kaffee:
We're a little weak on motive they had one.
Galloway:
Just because a person's got a motive doesn't mean that they're guilty.
Kaffee:
Relax, we'll deal with the fence line shooting when it comes up. In the meantime let's start with intent. I don't know what made Santiago die, I don't want to know. I just want to prove that it could have been something other than poison. Joe, talk to doctors find out everything there is to know about lactic acidosis. Sam, find out who else was in the emergency room that night...

 Col. Jessep:
Matthew, sit, please. [Lt. Markinson sits]
Col. Jessep:
What do you think of Kendrick?
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
Nathan, I don't know that...
Col. Jessep:
I think he's kind of a weasel, myself. But he's an awfully good officer, and in the end we see eye to eye on the best way to run a marine corps unit. We're in the business of saving lives, Matthew. That's a responsibility we have to take pretty seriously. And I believe that taking a marine who's not yet up to the job and packing him off to another assignment, puts lives in danger. [Lt. Markinson begins to stand]
Col. Jessep:
Matthew, siddown. [he sits]
Col. Jessep:
We go back a while. We went to the Academy together, we were commissioned together, we did our tours in Vietnam together. But I've been promoted up through the chain of command with greater speed and success than you have. Now if that's a source of tension or embarrassment for you, well, I don't give a shit. We're in the business of saving lives, Captain Markinson. Don't ever question my orders in front of another officer.

 Tom:
Joanne, why don't you get yourself a cup of coffee.
Galloway:
Thank you, sir, I'm fine
Tom:
Joanne, I'd like you to leave the room so we can talk about you behind your back
Galloway:
Certainly, sir.

 Col. Jessep:
Hmmmm... transfer Santiago. Yes, I'm sure you're right. I'm sure that's the thing to do. Wait a minute, I have a better idea. Let's transfer the whole squad off the base. Let's... On second thought, Windward! Let's transfer the whole Windward Division off the base. John, go on out there get those boys down off the fence, they're packing their bags. Tom!
Tom:
Yes, sir!
Col. Jessep:
Get me the President on the phone right away. We're surrendering our position in Cuba!
Tom:
Yes, sir.
Col. Jessep:
Wait a minute, Tom, don't get the President just yet. Maybe we should consider this a second. Dismissed, Tom. Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, maybe, we have a responsibility as officers to traing Santiago. Maybe we as officers have a responsibility to this country to see to it that the men and women charged with its security are trained professionals. Yes, I'm certain I remember reading that somewhere once. And now I'm thinking,Col. Markinson, that your suggestion of transferring Santiago, while expeditious and certainly painless, might not be, in a matter of speaking, the American way. Santiago stays where he is. We're gonna train the lad!
