A scene from Apocalypse Now 1979
Colonel Lucas

Your mission is to proceed up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat. Pick up Colonel Kurtz's path at Nu Mung Ba, follow it and learn what you can along the way. When you find the Colonel, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the Colonel's command.

Willard

Terminate?..... the Colonel?

General Corman

He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding troops.

Jerry (CIA Civilian)

Terminate..... with extreme prejudice.

Colonel Lucas

You understand, Captain, that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.

In this scene
