BG Wheeler: So you thought he was gonna try to take me hostage?
COL Winter: Yes, sir, it was a precautionary move.
BG Wheeler: [Sharply] What the hell kind of grab-ass unit are you running here, Colonel?
[Winter looks insulted but pauses to compose himself]
COL Winter: Sir, at 11:58 this morning I received a letter stating that a group of inmates were planning on taking you hostage at 12:10. I thought it prudent to act immediately to ensure your safety-
BG Wheeler: Let me tell you something. I've been hearing some pretty disturbing things about what goes on in here. And now I'm hearing it from a man who I trust. And whose opinion I respect.
COL Winter: May I speak freely, sir?
BG Wheeler: Yes, you may.
COL Winter: With all due respect, General, I don't know what you may have been 'hearing'... but until you've spent some time in the yard with those animals, you have no idea what happens in there.
BG Wheeler: Point taken, Colonel. Nevertheless, if I hear one more story about a man dying under your command you are through here. Now, do you understand me?
COL Winter: Yes, sir.
BG Wheeler: All right. As far as Gene Irwin is concerned: it is my judgement he is as sane as you or I. I wish he wasn't; he is. Frankly I'd like nothing more than an excuse to get him out of here. But I see the only way that's gonna happen, is if you request it.
COL Winter: That is true, sir.
BG Wheeler: So- you just tell me you can't handle him. And he's gone.
COL Winter: [smirking] Oh, I think I can handle him, sir.
BG Wheeler: [coldly] You watch yourself, Colonel.
COL Winter: Yes, sir, it was a precautionary move.
