A scene from Seven Days in May 1964
President Jordan Lyman

I know what Scott's attitude on the treaty is, what's yours?

Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey

I agree with General Scott, sir. I think we're being played for suckers. I think it's really your business. Yours and the Senate. You did it, and they agreed so, well, I don't see how we in the military can question it. I mean we can question it, but we can't fight it. We shouldn't, anyway.

President Jordan Lyman

Jiggs, isn't it? Isn't that what they call you?

President Jordan Lyman

So you, ah, you stand by the Constitution, Jiggs?

Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey

I never thought of it just like that, Mr. President, but, well, that's what we got and I guess it's worked pretty well so far. I sure don't want to be the one to say we ought to change it.

President Jordan Lyman

Neither do I.
