A Few Good Men Quote
Col. Jessep: Matthew, sit down, please. [Lt Col Markinson sits]
Col. Jessep: What do you think of Kendrick?
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Nathan, I don't think my opinion of Kendrick has anything whatsoever to do with...
Col. Jessep: I think he's pretty much 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 is a responsibility we have to take pretty seriously. And I believe that taking a marine who isn't quite up to the job and shipping him off to another assignment, puts lives in danger. [Lt. Markinson begins to stand]
Col. Jessep: Sit down, Matthew. [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 with greater speed and success than you have. Now if that's a source of tension or embarrassment for you, I don't give a ****. We're in the business of saving lives, Lt Col Markinson. Don't ever question my orders in front of another officer.
