A Few Good Men 1992 quotes, page 4

Kaffee

I've done something wrong again, haven't I?

Galloway

I'm just wondering why two guys have been in a jail cell since this morning while their lawyer is outside hitting a ball.

Kaffee

We need the practice.

Galloway

That wasn't funny.

Kaffee

It was a little funny.

Galloway

Lieutenant, would you feel very insulted if I recommended to your supervisor that he assign different counsel?

Kaffee

Why?

Galloway

I don't think you're fit to handle this defense.

Kaffee

You don't even know me. Ordinarily it takes someone hours to discover I'm not fit to handle a defense. [long pause] Oh, come on! That was damn funny.

Galloway

It's my feeling that if this case is handled in the same fast-food slick-ass Persian bazaar manner with which you seem to handle everything else, then something's gonna get missed. And I wouldn't be doing my job if I allowed Dawson and Downey to spend any more time in prison than is absolutely necessary because their attorney has predetermined the path of least resistance!

Kaffee

Wow! I'm sexually aroused, Commander.

Kaffee

What do you want from me?

Galloway

I want you to let them be judged. I want you to stand up and make an argument.

Weinberg

An argument that didn't work for Calley at My Lai. An argument that didn't work for the Nazis at Nuremberg.

Kaffee

Oh for Christ's sake, Sam. Do you really think that's the same as two teenage Marines executing a routine order they never believed would result in harm? These guys aren't the Nazis!

Galloway

Don't look now Danny, but you're making an argument.

Galloway

Listen, I came to make peace. We got off on the wrong foot. What do you say, friends?

I, uh--

Galloway

By the way, I brought Downey some comic books he was asking for. The kid, Kaffee, I swear he doesn't know where he is. He doesn't even know why he's been arrested!

Commander--

Galloway

You can call me Joanne.

Joanne.

Galloway

Or Jo.

Jo?

Galloway

Yes.

Jo, if you ever speak to a client of mine again without my permission, I'll have you disbarred. Friends?

Kaffee

You got authorization from Aunt Ginny.

Galloway

Perfectly within my province.

Kaffee

Does Aunt Ginny have a barn? We could hold the trial there. I could sew the costumes, maybe his Uncle Goober could be the judge.

Do you think we were right?

Kaffee

I think you would lose.

You're such a coward. I can't believe they let you wear a uniform.

Kaffee

It's not going to win you a place in my heart, I get paid no matter how long you stay in jail.

Yes sir, I know you do, sir.

Kaffee

**** you, Harold!

Kaffee

You and Dawson, you both live in the same dreamworld. It doesn't matter what I believe. It only matters what I can prove! So please, don't tell me what I know, or don't know; I know the law.

Galloway

You know nothing about the law. You're a used-car salesman, Daniel. You're an ambulance chaser with a rank. You're nothing. Live with that.

Weinberg

You're my witness. The baby spoke. My daughter said a word.

Kaffee

Your daughter made a sound, Sam. I'm not sure it was a word.

Weinberg

Come on now, it was definitely a word.

Kaffee

Okay.

Weinberg

You heard her. The girl sat here, pointed, and said, "Pa". She did! She said, "Pa".

Kaffee

Sam,she was pointing at a mailbox.

Weinberg

That's right. Pointing as if to say, "Pa, look; a mailbox!"

Kaffee

You don't believe their story, do you? You think they ought to go to jail for the rest of their lives.

Weinberg

I believe every word of their story. And I think they ought to go to jail for the rest of their lives.

Kaffee

Is this your signature?

Yes, sir!

Kaffee

You don't have to call me "sir". [to Downey] Is this your signature?

Downey

Sir, yes, sir!

Kaffee

And you certainly don't need to do it twice in one sentence.

Galloway

Tell your friend not to get cute down there, the Marines at Gitmo are fanatical.

Weinberg

Fanatical about what?

Galloway

About being Marines.

Weinberg

Don't forget to wear the whites. It's very hot down there.

Kaffee

I don't like the whites.

Weinberg

Nobody likes the whites, but we're going to Cuba. You got Dramamine?

Kaffee

Dramamine keeps you cool?

Weinberg

No, Dramamine keeps you from throwing up. You get sick when you fly.

Kaffee

I get sick when I fly 'cause I'm afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don't think Dramamine will help.

Weinberg

I got some oregano. I hear that works pretty good.

Barnes

I've got some camouflage jackets in the Jeep, sirs, I suggest you both put them on.

Kaffee

Camouflage jackets?

Barnes

Yes sir, we'll be riding pretty close to the fence line. The Cubans see an officer wearing white, they think it might be someone they'd wanna take a shot at.

Kaffee

Good call, Sam.

Kaffee

Hold on a sec, we got to take a boat?

Barnes

Yes sir, just to get to the other side of the bay.

Kaffee

Nobody said anything about a boat.

Barnes

Is there a problem, sir?

Kaffee

No, no problem, I'm just not that crazy about boats, that's all.

Galloway

Jesus Christ, Kaffee, you're in the Navy for crying out loud!

Kaffee

Nobody likes her very much.

Barnes

Yes, Sir.
