JESSUP: You want answers? CAFFEY: I think I'm entitled. JESSUP: YOU WANT ANSWERS? CAFFEY: I WANT THE TRUTH! JESSUP: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You Lt. Wienberg? I have a greater responsiblity than you can possible fathom! You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existance, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth 'cause deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO! CAFFEY: Did you order the code red? JESSUP: I did the job... CAFFEY: DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED! JESSUP: You're goddamn right I did!!! CAFFEY: Wait a minute! We gotta go on a boat? MARINE: Yessir. Is there a problem? CAFFEY: No, no problem. I'm just not that crazy about boats, that's all. JO ANN: Jesus Christ, Caffey! You're in the Navy for cryin' out loud! CAFFEY: No one likes her very much. MARINE: Yessir! CAFFEY: I don't like flying 'cause I'm afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don't think Dramamine is gonna help. WEINBERG: Try aregano. I hear that works pretty good!
