Capt. West : [in West's office] Commander Galloway, why don't you get yourself a cup of coffee.
Galloway : Thank you, sir, I'm fine.
Capt. West : [irritated because she didn't understand his intention] Commander, I'd like you to leave the room so we can talk about you behind your back.
Galloway : Certainly, sir.
-
Downey : [after the verdict was read] I don't understand... Colonel Jessup said he ordered the Code Red.
Galloway : I know but...
Downey : [nervously] Colonel Jessup said he ordered the Code Red! What did we do wrong?
Galloway : It's not that simple...
Downey : [anxiously] What did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong!
Dawson : Yeah we did. We were supposed to fight for people who couldn't fight for themselves. We were supposed to fight for Willy.
-
Lt. Weinberg : [refering to Dawson and Downey after court has adjourned for the day] Why do you like them so much?
Galloway : Because they stand on a wall and say, "Nothing's going to hurt you tonight, not on my watch."
-
Galloway : [refering to Jessup] You put him on the stand and you get it from him!
Kaffee : [sarcastically, refering to Jessup in his apartment] Oh, we get it from him! Yes! No problem! We get it from him.
[turns to Sam as if he were Jessup on the stand]
Kaffee : Colonel Jessup, isn't it true that you ordered the Code Red on Santiago?
Lt. Weinberg : Listen, we're all a little...
Kaffee : [interrupts with game-show buzzer sound] eeehhhhh! I'm sorry, your time's run out! What do we have for the losers, judge? Well, for our defendants, it's a life time at exotic Fort Leavenworth! And, for defense counsel Kaffee, that's right, it's a court martial! Yes, Johnny! After falsely accusing a highly decorated Marine officer of conspiracy and perjury, Lieutenant Kaffee will have a long and prosperous career teaching... typewriter maintenance at the Rocco Globbo School for Women! Thank you for playing "Should we or should we not follow the advice of the galactically stupid!"
-
Galloway : [after sensing his contempt for Dawson and Downey after court has adjourned for the day] Why do you hate them so much?
Lt. Weinberg : They beat up on a weakling; that's all they did. The rest is just smokefilled coffee-house crap. They tortured and tormented a weaker kid. They didn't like him. So, they killed him. And why? Because he couldn't run very fast.
-
Galloway : [to Danny as walks out his office building] Hi, there.
Kaffee : Having any luck in getting me replaced?
Galloway : Is there anyone in this command that you don't eat or drink or play softball with?
Kaffee : Commander, I...
Galloway : Listen, I came to make peace. We got off on the wrong foot. What do you say? Friends?
Kaffee : I don't think...
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.
Kaffee : Commander?
Galloway : You can call me Joanne.
Kaffee : Joanne?
Galloway : Or Jo.
Kaffee : Jo?
Galloway : Yes?
Kaffee : If you speak to a client of mine again without my permission, I'll have you disbarred. Friends?
Galloway : I had authorization.
Kaffee : From where?
Galloway : Downey's closest living relative, Ginny Miller, his aunt on his mother's side.
Kaffee : You got authorization from Aunt Ginny?
Galloway : I gave her a call like you asked. Very nice woman we spoke for about an hour.
Kaffee : [before getting into his car] You got authorization from Aunt Ginny.
Galloway : Perfectly within my province.
Kaffee : Does Aunt Ginny have a barn? We can hold the trial there. I can sew the costumes. Maybe his Uncle Goober can be the judge.
Galloway : I'm going to Cuba with you tomorrow.
Kaffee : [before driving off] And the hits just keep on coming.
-
Galloway : [showing up at his apartment unannounced] I'm sorry to bother you, I should have called first.
Kaffee : No, no, I was just watching a ball game. Come on in.
Galloway : I was wondering if... how'd you would feel about my taking you to dinner tonight.
Kaffee : Are you asking me out on a date?
Galloway : No...
Kaffee : It sounded like you were asking me out on a date.
Galloway : I wasn't.
Kaffee : I've been asked out on dates before, and that's what it sounded like.
Galloway : Do you like seafood? I know a good seafood place.
-
Lt. Weinberg : [in Danny's apartment, referring to their new strategy] Alright, what do you suggest we do?
Galloway : I say we hit Jessup with the phony transfer order.
Lt. Weinberg : A transfer order without a witness.
Kaffee : We have a witness.
Lt. Weinberg : A dead witness.
Kaffee : And in the hands of a lesser attorney that'd be a problem.
Lt. Weinberg : Look at this, last night he's swimming in Jack Daniels and now he can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Kaffee : I'm getting my second wind. Sit down, both of you.
[Sees that they are already sitting]
Kaffee : Good. Jessup told Kendrick to order the code red, Kendrick did and our clients followed the order. The cover-up isn't our case - to win Jessup needs to tell the court members that he ordered the code red.
Lt. Weinberg : And now you think you can get him to just say it?
Kaffee : I think he wants to say it. I think he's pissed off that he's gotta hide from this. I think he wants to say that he made a command decision and that's the end of it.
[Starts imitating Jessup]
Kaffee : He eats breakfast 300 yards away from 4000 Cubans that are trained to kill him. And nobody's going to tell him how to run his unit least of all the Harvard mouth in his faggoty white uniform. I need to shake him, put him on the defensive and lead him right where he's dying to go.
Lt. Weinberg : That's it? That's the plan?
Kaffee : That's the plan.
Lt. Weinberg : And how are you going to that?
Kaffee : I have no idea. I need my bat.
Lt. Weinberg : What?
Kaffee : I need my bat. I think better with my bat. Where's my bat?
Galloway : I put it in the closet.
Kaffee : You put it in the closet?
Galloway : I was tripping on it.
Kaffee : Don't ever put that bat in the closet.
-
Kaffee : [in an empty hallway after work hours] You and Dawson, you both live in the same dream world. 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.
-
[upon first meeting in her office]
Galloway : You're the attorney division assigned?
Kaffee : I'm lead counsel, and this is Sam Weinberg.
Lt. Weinberg : I have no responsibilities here whatsoever.
-
Kaffee : [getting Jack's attention while he's playing basketball] Jack? Jack! They were given an order.
Kaffee : [to his friends] I'll be right back. I'll be right back.
Galloway : How long have you known about the order?
Capt. Ross : [walking away from the basketball court] I didn't. Who's this?
Kaffee : She's Jo Galloway. She's Downey's attorney. She's very pleased to meet you.
Capt. Ross : [talking privately] What exactly are you accusing me of, Commander?
Galloway : How long have you known about the order?
Kaffee : Jack didn't know about the order because if Jack did and he didn't tell us Jack knows he'd be violating about 14 articles of the Code of Ethics. As it is, Jack's got enough to worry about because, God forbid, our clients should decide to plead not guilty and testify for the record that they were given an order.
Capt. Ross : Kendrick specifically told those men not to touch Santiago.
Kaffee : That's right and then he went into Dawson and Downey's room and specifically ordered them to give Santiago a code red.
Capt. Ross : That's not what Kendrick says.
Kaffee : Kendrick's lying.
Capt. Ross : You have proof?
Kaffee : I have the defendants.
Capt. Ross : And I have 23 Marines who aren't accused of murder and a Lieutenant with 4 letters of commendation.
Kaffee : Why did Markinson go UA?
Capt. Ross : You'll never know.
Kaffee : You think I can't subpoena Markinson?
Capt. Ross : You can try but you won't find him. You know what Markinson did for the first 17 of his 26 years in the Corps? Counterintelligence. Markinson's gone; there is no Markinson. Look, Danny, Jessup's star is on the rise. Division will give me a lot of room on this one to spare Jessup and the Corps any embarrassment.
Kaffee : How much room?
Capt. Ross : I'll knock it all down to involuntary manslaughter, two years they'll be home in six months.
Galloway : No deal, we're going to court.
Capt. Ross : No, you're not.
Galloway : Why not?
Capt. Ross : Because you'll lose and Danny knows it. And Danny also knows that if it does go to court then that means I'm going to have to go all the way. His clients are going to get charged with the whole truckload. Murder. Conspiracy. Conduct unbecoming. And even though he's got me by the balls out here Danny knows that in a court room he loses this case. You see, Danny's an awfully talented lawyer and he's not about to let his clients go to jail for life when he knows that they could be home in six months. That's the end of this negotiation. I'll see you tomorrow morning at the arraignment.
-
Galloway : [in her office, refering to Danny] Tell your friend not to get cute down there, the Marines at Gitmo are fanatical.
Lt. Weinberg : [before leaving her office] Fanatical about what?
Galloway : About being Marines.
-
Kaffee : [when Galloway insists on investigation instead of an instant uninformed plea-bargain while in her office] Commander, do you have some sort of jurisdiction here that I should know about?
Galloway : My job is to make sure that you do your job. I'm Special Counsel for Internal Affairs, so jurisdiction's pretty much in your face.
-
Capt. Ross : Why did you go into Santiago's room?
Galloway : The witness has rights!
Capt. Ross : The witness has been read his rights, Commander.
Judge Randolph : The question will be repeated.
Galloway : Your Honor!
Capt. Ross : Why did you go into Santiago's room?
Downey : Hal?
Capt. Ross : Did Lance Corporal Dawson tell you to give Santiago a Code Red?
Downey : Hal?
Capt. Ross : Don't look at him!
Downey : Hal?
Dawson : Private, answer the captain's question!
[Private Downey turn back and answer Captain Ross's question. Captain is mean and grudge]
Downey : Yes, Captain, I was given an order by my squad leader, Lance Corporal Harold W. Dawson, United States Marine Corps, and I followed it.
[Captain Ross hears a good answer. What's wrong with Commander Galloway while she's objecting. And Lieutenant Kaffee is silent and listen to Downey's testimony]
-
Galloway : But my feeling is that if this case is handled in the same fast-food, slick-ass ' Persian Bazaar manner with which you seem to handle everything else, 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 absolutely necessary, because their attorney had pre-determined the path of least resistance.
Kaffee : Wow... I'm sexually aroused, Commander.
-
Kaffee : [in Sam's office after work hours] I don't believe it, Dawson's is going to jail despite me. Fine, if he wants to jump off a cliff, I'm not going to hold his hand the way down. I want to get him a new lawyer and how do I do it?
Lt. Weinberg : Just make a motion tomorrow morning at the arraignment the judge will ask if you want to enter a plea and you tell him you want new counsel assigned.
Kaffee : That's that.
Galloway : [as Danny leaves Sam's office] One thing though: When you ask the judge for new counsel, be sure to ask "nicely"
Kaffee : [in the hallway] What do you want from me?
Galloway : Why are so afraid to be a lawyer? Were daddy's expectations really that high?
Kaffee : Dawson and Downey will have their day in court, they'll just have it with another lawyer
Galloway : Another lawyer won't be good enough, they need you, you know how to win. You know they have a case and you know how to win. If you walk away from this now, you've sealed their fate.
Kaffee : Their fate was sealed the minute Santiago died.
-
Galloway : [in West's office] I appreciate you seeing me on such short notice.
Capt. West : Would you like to sit down?
Galloway : I'm fine sir.
Capt. West : Have a seat.
Galloway : [embarassed] OK.
Capt. West : I understand we had some trouble over the weekend down in Cuba?
Galloway : [as she hands him their files] Yes sir. This past Friday two marines, a Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and Private Louden Downey entered the barracks room of a Pfc. William Santiago and assaulted him. Santiago died approximately an hour later. The NIS agent who took Dawson and Downey's statements maintained they were trying to prevent Santiago from naming Dawson in a fence line shooting incident. They're scheduled to have a hearing down in Cuba this afternoon at sixteen hundred. Dawson and Downey are both "recruiting poster" marines. Santiago was known to be a screw up. I was thinking it sounded a lot like a code red.
Capt. West : Christ.
-
Kaffee : [in Barnes' Humvee] Whoa. Hold it. We gotta take a boat?
Barnes : Yes, sir. 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!
-
Galloway : [referring to Markinson, while holding a phone] Where is he?
Kaffee : [in his apartment] Downtown Lodge on North East.
Galloway : I want him guarded.
Kaffee : That's probably a good idea. Anyway he also says that...
Galloway : [over the phone] My clearance code is 411527273. Thank you.
Kaffee : Clearance code? I don't have a clearance code. Do you have a clearance code?
Lt. Weinberg : Danny!
Kaffee : Anyway, he also says that Jessup's lying about the transportation off the base. Jessup said the 6 was the first flight out Santiago couuld have left on. Markinson says there was a plane that left seven hours earlier.
[to Galloway]
Kaffee : That was impressive. Did you get what I said about the flight?
Galloway : Yes. Sam, when a flight takes off there's got to be some kind of record kept, right?
Lt. Weinberg : Yeah, you need the tower chief's log from Gitmo.
Kaffee : Get it.
Galloway : We're gonna win.
Kaffee : Jo, let's not go crazy about this. We don't know who Markinson is we don't know what the log book's going to say. You just concentrate on Downey. I'm going to talk to Ross and tell him where we are.
-
Kaffee : Private, I want you to tell us one last time. Why did you go to Private Santiago's room on the night of September 6th?
Downey : A code red was ordered by my platoon commander, Lieutenant Jonathan James Kendrick.
Kaffee : Thank you. Your witness.
Capt. Ross : Private, the week of 2 September... the switch log has you down at Post 39 until 1600. Is that correct?
Downey : I'm sure it is, sir. They keep that log pretty good.
Capt. Ross : How far is it from Post 39 to the Windward Barracks?
Downey : Well, it's a ways, sir. It's a hike.
Capt. Ross : About how far by jeep?
Downey : About ten, fifteen minutes, sir.
Capt. Ross : You ever have to walk it?
Downey : Yes, sir. That day, sir. Friday. The pick up private - Tthat's like what we call the guy who drops us off at our post and picks us up... also 'cause he can get girls in New York City. The pickup private got a flat, sir, right at 39. He pulled up and, bam, blowout with no spare. So we had to double-time it back to the barracks.
Capt. Ross : And if it's about ten or fifteen minutes by Jeep, I'm guessing... it must be a good hour by foot, am I right?
Downey : Pickup and me did it in forty-five flat, sir.
Capt. Ross : Not bad. Now, you've said that your assault on Private Santiago was the result of an order that Lieutenant Kendrick gave you in your barracks room at... 1620, am I right?
Downey : Yes, sir.
Capt. Ross : But you just said that you didn't make it back to the Windward barracks until 1645.
Downey : [confused] Sir?
Capt. Ross : Well, if you didn't make it back to the barracks room until 1645, how could you be in your room at 1620?
Downey : [nervously] Well, you see, sir, there was a blow out.
Capt. Ross : Private, did you ever actually hear Lieutenant Kendrick order a code red?
Downey : [nervously] Well, Hal said that...
Capt. Ross : Private, did you ever actually hear Lieutenant Kendrick order a code red?
Downey : No, sir.
Galloway : [stands up from the defense table] Please the court, I'd like to request a recess in order to confer with my client.
-
Galloway : [in her office] Lieutenant, how long have you been in the Navy?
Kaffee : Going on nine months now.
Galloway : And how long have you been out of law school?
Kaffee : A little over a year.
Galloway : I see.
Kaffee : Have I done something wrong?
Galloway : No, it's just that when I petitioned division to have counsel assigned, I was hoping that I'd be taken seriously.
Kaffee : [sarcastically] No offense taken, in case you were wondering.
-
Kaffee : [while looking through his refrigerator] Were you able to speak to your friend at the NIS?
Lt. Weinberg : Yeah, she said that if Markinson doesn't want to be found, we're not gonna find him. She said I could be Markinson and you wouldn't know it.
Kaffee : Are you Markinson?
Lt. Weinberg : No.
Kaffee : I'm not Markinson. That's two down. What?
Lt. Weinberg : I'm just wondering, now that Joanne's in on this, you know, I was just wondering if you still needed me.
Kaffee : They were following orders, Sam.
Lt. Weinberg : An illegal order.
Kaffee : You think Dawson and Downey knew it was an illegal order?
Lt. Weinberg : It doesn't matter what they knew. Any decent human being would have refused.
Kaffee : They're not permitted to question orders.
Lt. Weinberg : Then what's the secret? Huh, what are the magic words? I give orders every day nobody follows them.
Kaffee : Sam, we have softball games and marching bands. They work at a place where you have to wear camouflage or they might get shot! I need you. You're better at research than I am and you know how to prepare a witness.
Galloway : [Galloway arrives] I have medical reports and Chinese food. I say we eat first.
[pause, Weinberg is pondering, remains silent]
Galloway : [confused] What?
Lt. Weinberg : You got any Kung Pao chicken?
Kaffee : [pointing to their chalkboard with his baseball bat] Alright, here's our defense. Intent, no one can prove there was poison on the rag. Code reds, they're common and accepted in Guantanamo Bay. The order, A, Kendrick gave it, B they had no choice but to follow it. That's it.
Lt. Weinberg : What about motive?
Kaffee : We're a little weak on motive they had one.
Galloway : Just because a person's got a motive doesn't mean they're guilty.
Kaffee : Relax, we'll deal with the fence line shooting when it comes up. For now, let's start with intent. I don't know what made Santiago die, I don't want to know. I just want to show that it could have been something other than poison. Jo, talk to doctors find out everything there is to know about lactic acidosis. Sam, find out who else was in the emergency room that night.
-
Col. Jessup : [to Danny as he, Sam, and Jo enters Jessup's office for the for the first time] Nathan Jessup, come on in
Kaffee : [as they shake hands, introduces Sam, and Jo] thank you sir, I'm Daniel Kaffee. I'm the attorney for Dawson and Downey.
Col. Jessup : pleasure
Kaffee : [gestures to Jo] This Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway.
Col. Jessup : [as they shake hands] pleasure meeting you Commander.
Galloway : Colonel
Kaffee : [to Jessup, gestures to Sam] Lieutenant Sam Weinberg, he'll be assisting
Lt. Weinberg : [as they shake hands] sir
Col. Jessup : [gestures to Markinson and Kendrick] this is my XO Colonel Markinson and platoon leader Lieutenant Kendrick, I've asked them to join us, sit down, please
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson : [as they shake hands] Lieutenant Kaffee
Kaffee : [as they shake hands] Colonel Markinson
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson : I had the pleasure of meeting your father once. I was a teenager, he spoke at my high school
Col. Jessup : [to Danny] Lionel Kaffee?
Kaffee : yes sir
Col. Jessup : [to Kendrick] well what'd you know? This man's dad once made a lot of enemies in your neck of the woods. Jefferson versus Madison County School District. Folks down there said a little black girl couldn't go to an all white school. Lionel Kaffee said "well, we'll just see about that."
-
Galloway : [before leaving his apartment] Hey, Kaffee...
Kaffee : I know what you're going to say - You don't have to. We've had our differences. I said some things I didn't mean; you said some things you didn't mean, but you're happy I stuck with the case. And if you've gained a certain respect for me over the last three weeks... well, of course, I'm happy about that. But we don't have to make a whole big deal outta that - you like me? I won't make you say it.
Galloway : I was just going to tell you to wear matching socks tomorrow.
Kaffee : OK! Good tip!
-
Galloway : [to Danny after memorizing his personnel file] You're wrong. I do know you. Daniel Alister Kafffee, born June 8, 1964 at Boston Mercy hospital. Your father is Lionel Kaffee, former Navy Judge Advocate and Attorney General of the United States, died 1985. You went to Harvard Law school then you joined the Navy, probably because that's what your father wanted you to do, and now you're just treading water for three years. You've got to serve in the JAG Corps, just kind of laying low until you can go out and get a real job. If that's the situation, that's fine. I won't tell anyone.
-
Galloway : [going over their defense strategy, in his apartment] What about motive?
Kaffee : We're a little weak on motive, they had one.
Galloway : Just because someone has a motive, it doesn't mean they're guilty.
Kaffee : Relax, we'll deal with the fence line shooting when it comes up. For now, we'll start with intent. I don't know what made Santiago die, I don't want to know. I just want to be able to show it could've been something other than poison. Jo, talk to doctors, find out everything there is on lactic acidosis.
-
Galloway : [while in a seafood restaurant] I think you're an exceptional lawyer I watch the court members they respond to you they like you I see you convincing them and I think Dawson and Downey will end up owing their lives to you
Kaffee : I think you should prepare for the fact that we're going to lose. Ross's opening statement was all true let's pretend for a minute that it actually mattered to the court that these guys were given an order. I can't prove it ever happened we'll keep doing what we're doing and we'll put on a show but at the end of the day all we have is the testimonies of two people accused of murder
Galloway : We'll find Markinson
Kaffee : We're going to lose, and we're going to lose huge
-
Galloway : [referring to her objecting repeatedly that a key expert witness was unqualified to provide testimony] I got it on the record.
Lt. Weinberg : And you got the court members thinking we're afraid of the doctor. You object once so they can hear us say his not a criminologist; you keep after it the way you did, suddenly our great cross looks like a bunch of fancy lawyer tricks. There's a difference between paper law and trial law! Christ, you even had the judge say Stone was an expert!
Kaffee : [to Sam] She made a mistake. Let's not relive it
Lt. Weinberg : I'm going to call my wife. I'll see you tonight.
-
Galloway : [to Kaffee as she leaves after his drunken rant] I'm sorry I cost you your steak knives.
-
Kaffee : [entering his apartment from the back door, drenched from the rain] Downey wasn't even in his room, wasn't even there, that was an important piece of information we should've known about don't you think?
Galloway : It was a set back and I'm sorry but we fix it and move on to Markinson.
Kaffee : [sitting on the couch] Markinson's dead, really got ahead of those federal Marshalls, boy it's not like he hung himself with his shoelaces or slashed his wrists with a concealed butter knife this guy got into full dress uniform, stood in the middle of that room, drew nickel plated pistol from his holster and fired a bullet into his mouth.
Galloway : We go to Randolph in the morning and make a motion for a continuance for twenty four hours.
Kaffee : Why would we possibly want to do that?
Galloway : To subpoena colonel Jessup.
Kaffee : What?
Galloway : Listen for a second.
Kaffee : No.
Galloway : Just hear me out.
Kaffee : No, I won't listen and I won't hear you out your passion is compelling it's also useless. Louden Downey needed a trial lawyer today.
Galloway : You chicken shit, you're going to use what happened today as an excuse to give up.
Kaffee : Its over.
Galloway : Why did you ask Jessup for the transfer order?
Kaffee : What?
Galloway : In Cuba, why did you ask Jessup for the transfer order?
Kaffee : What does it matter? I wanted the damn transfer order
Galloway : Bullshit, you could've got the transfer order by calling any one of the dozen departments at the Pentagon you, didn't want the transfer order, you wanted to see his reaction when you asked for the transfer order, you had an instinct and it was confirmed by Markinson so damn it lets put Jessup on the stand and end this thing.
-
Galloway : [in her office, after sensing he prefers his clients to accept a plea bargain instead of going to trial] Have you ever been in a courtroom?
Kaffee : I once had my driver's license suspended.
Lt. Weinberg : [implying to him that he should answer her questions respectfully] Danny...
-
Galloway : [in the interrogation room, after Dawson criticizes Danny and enraging him causing him to respond with a profanity] Alright, at ease, let's sort this thing out. There was a platoon meeting on September sixteen at four in the afternoon, Lieutenant Kendrick said he gave strict instructions that nothing was to happen to Santiago, no is this true?
Dawson : [Dawson and Downey remain silent]
Galloway : I want you to speak freely
Dawson : Ma'am that's correct, then he dismissed the platoon then we all went to our rooms.
Galloway : And what happened then?
Dawson : Lieutenant Kendrick came to our room Ma'am
Kaffee : When?
Dawson : About five after the meeting broke sir, about 1620.
Kaffee : And what happened then?
Dawson : Lieutenant Kendrick ordered us to give Santiago a code red.
-
Kaffee : [to Dawson in the interrogation room, referring to Joanne, after he refused the government's plea deal] Did she put you up to this?
Galloway : [sitting nearby] No.
Dawson : We have a code sir...
Kaffee : [interrupts him] Oh well, zip a dee doo dah you and your code, plea not guilty, you will be in jail for the rest of your life.
Kaffee : [after Dawson remains silent for a few minutes, pleading with him] I'm telling you you'll be home in six months, do it, six months, it's nothing, it's a hockey season.
-
Galloway : [while in Danny's apartment] There's got to someone who can testify to the flight: a ground crew member, someone?
Lt. Weinberg : this isn't the TWA. There wasn't a regular flight schedule, do you have any idea how many planes take off and land every day? A kid from the ground crew isn't going to remember if a flight that landed four weeks ago...
Galloway : [interrupts him] well, how do you know though? if you don't check...
Kaffee : [interrupts Joanne] forget the flight
Kaffee : [to Sam and Joanne] forget the flight. We'll put Markinson on the stand and we'll deal with Jessup's refusal to transfer Santiago and he'll testify to the forged transfer order and that'll be enough: that and Downey's testimony really ought to be enough
-
Col. Jessup : [in his office, meeting for the first time] what could we do for you Danny?
Kaffee : [while looking in his briefcase] not much sir, this is really more of a formality than anything else. The JAG Corps insists we interview all the relevant witnesses
Galloway : [hands Danny a pen] The JAG Corps can be demanding that way
Col. Jessup : [motions to Kendrick] John will take you out to show you what you want to see. After that we can all hook up for lunch, how does that sound?
Kaffee : that sound fine sir
-
Kaffee : What do you want from me?
Galloway : [referring to Dawson and Downey] I want you to let them be judged. I want you to stand up and make an argument
Lt. Weinberg : An argument didn't work for Calley at My Lai. An argument didn't work the Nazis at Nuremberg
Kaffee : Oh for Christ's sake Sam, do you really think that's the same as two teenage marines executing an order they never believed it would result in harm? These guys aren't the Nazis
Galloway : Don't look now Danny but you're making an argument
-
Galloway : [talking privately before Jessup takes the stand] How you feeling?
Kaffee : I feel Jessup is going to have his hands full today
Galloway : Listen, when you're up there today if you feel like it's not going to happen if you feel like his not going to say it don't go for it you could get in trouble I'm special counsel for internal affairs and I'm telling you, you can get in a lot of trouble
Kaffee : You're not suggesting I back off from the material witness?
