A scene from In The Loop 2009
Karen Clark

I e-mailed my resignation five minutes ago. And yours should come pretty soon, for the biggest media impact.

General Miller

I've been thinking.

Karen Clark

Yeah?

General Miller

This has been the hardest political decision of my career. I'm not going to resign.

Karen Clark

Huh? What the ****, George?

General Miller

Before the war, I was going to resign. But now that there's a war on... I can't resign.

Karen Clark

You said that this was intolerable. You said we would go together.

General Miller

It is intolerable, but I'm going to have to tolerate it. And I still agree with myself on that. But my loyalty is to the kids—I am a soldier.

Karen Clark

You're not a soldier.

General Miller

...I've been a soldier my whole life! What do you mean I'm not a solider? I'm a soldier! Look at the uniform—what do you think, I'm one of the Village people?

Karen Clark

When did you shoot a guy last?

General Miller

What, just because I haven't shot someone in fifteen years I'm not a soldier? You know, the Army doesn't make you drag some bullet-ridden, bloody corpse into the Pentagon every five years to renew you "soldier's licence"!

Karen Clark

It's unnecessary!

General Miller

So what?!

Karen Clark

And if you were a good general, you'd have some balls!

General Miller

Look, shut up about my balls. My balls have been around, you have no idea where my balls have been!

Karen Clark

I can talk about your balls all I want, 'cause I remember when—

General Miller

Oh, I **** you once twenty years ago AND I NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT! EVERY TIME WE'RE TOGETHER I'VE GOTTA TO LISTEN TO THIS SHIT! I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER IT!

Karen Clark

Come on, Chad. We have to draft resignation announcements.

Chad

Actually, Miss Clark, I think I might stay with the General, if that's okay. If he's staying I might stay with him, see what assistance I can furnish.

Karen Clark

Okay... General Shrek and his faithful talking donkey.

General Miller

(to Chad)

What do you need to stick around for?!

Chad

Well, I just want to let you know, sir, that I think you've got... big balls, it's like... two-thirds of a snowman.

General Miller

Dear God.
