A Few Good Men Court Room Scene
"I Want The Truth!"
"You Can't Handle The Truth"
"We live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's going to do that you? You Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility that you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably SAVED LIVES and my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible SAVES LIVES. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something, you use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide then questions the manor in which I provide it. I would rather you say 'thank you' and go on your way otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand to post either way I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
"Did you order the Code Red?
"I did the job...
"DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?
"YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!"
