A scene from Apocalypse Now 1979
Kurtz

Did they say why, Willard, why they want to terminate my command?

Willard

I was sent on a classified mission, sir.

Kurtz

It's no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?

Willard

They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.

Kurtz

Are my methods unsound?

Willard

I don't see any method at all, sir.

Kurtz

I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?

Willard

I'm a soldier.

Kurtz

You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
