A scene from A Few Good Men 1992
Galloway

We'll go to Randolph in the morning and ask for a continuance--24 hours.

Kaffee

Why?

Galloway

To subponea Colonel Jessep.

Kaffee

No

Galloway

Just listen for a second... Just hear me out...

Kaffee

No, I won't listen and I won't hear you out. Your passion is compelling, Jo; it's also useless. Lowden Downey needed a trial lawyer today.

Galloway

You're chickenshit. You're gonna use what happened today as an excuse to give up.

Kaffee

It's over. What possible good would come from putting Jessep on the stand?

Galloway

He ordered the Code red on Santiago.

Kaffee

He DID? That's great, and of course you have proof of this, right? Oh, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting you were sick the day they taught law at law school.

Galloway

You put him on the stand and you get it from him.

Kaffee

Oh, we get it from him, yes! Colenel Jessep, isn't it true that you ordered the Code red on Santiago?

Sam

Look, we're all a little--

Kaffee

[imitates buzzer]

I'm sorry, your time's run out. What do we have for the losers, judge? Well, for our defendants it's a lifetime at exotic Fort Levenworth, and for Defense Council Kaffee, it's a court martial, yes... After falsly accusing a highly-decorated Marine officer of conspiracy and perjury, Lt. Kaffee will have a long and prosperous career teaching typewriter maitenance at the rocko club and school for women. Thank you for playing "Now Should We or Should We Not Follow the Advice of the Galactically Stupid?!". [throws a stack of papers off the table]

Galloway

I'm sorry I lost your set of steak knives.
