Few Good Men, A quotes

View Quote Kaffee: I've done something wrong again, haven't I?
Galloway: I'm just wondering why two guys have been in a jail cell since this morning while their lawyer is outside hitting a ball.
Kaffee: We need the practice.
Galloway: That wasn't funny.
Kaffee: It was a little funny.
Galloway: Lieutenant, would you feel very insulted if I recommended to your supervisor that he assign different counsel?
Kaffee: Why?
Galloway: I don't think you're fit to handle this defense.
Kaffee: You don't even know me. Ordinarily it takes someone hours to discover I'm not fit to handle a defense. [long pause] Oh, come on! That was damn funny.

View Quote Galloway: It's my feeling that if this case is handled in the same fast-food slick-ass Persian bazaar manner with which you seem to handle everything else, then 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 is absolutely necessary because their attorney has predetermined the path of least resistance!
Kaffee: Wow! I'm sexually aroused, Commander.

View Quote Kaffee: What do you want from me?
Galloway: I want you to let them be judged. I want you to stand up and make an argument.
Weinberg: An argument that didn't work for Calley at My Lai. An argument that didn't work for the Nazis at Nuremberg.
Kaffee: Oh for Christ's sake, Sam. Do you really think that's the same as two teenage Marines executing a routine order they never believed would result in harm? These guys aren't the Nazis!
Galloway: Don't look now Danny, but you're making an argument.

View Quote Galloway: Listen, I came to make peace. We got off on the wrong foot. What do you say, friends?
Kaffee: I, uh--
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.
Kafee: Jo, if you ever speak to a client of mine again without my permission, I'll have you disbarred. Friends?

View Quote Kaffee: You got authorization from Aunt Ginny.
Galloway: Perfectly within my province.
Kaffee: Does Aunt Ginny have a barn? We could hold the trial there. I could sew the costumes, maybe his Uncle Goober could be the judge.

View Quote Dawson: Do you think we were right?
Kaffee: I think you would lose.
Dawson: [to Kaffee] You're such a coward. I can't believe they let you wear a uniform.

View Quote Kaffee: It's not going to win you a place in my heart, I get paid no matter how long you stay in jail.
Dawson: [contemptuously] Yes sir, I know you do, sir.
Kaffee: **** you, Harold!

View Quote Kaffee: You and Dawson, you both live in the same dreamworld. 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.

View Quote Weinberg: You're my witness. The baby spoke. My daughter said a word.
Kaffee: Your daughter made a sound, Sam. I'm not sure it was a word.
Weinberg: Come on now, it was definitely a word.
Kaffee: Okay.
Weinberg: You heard her. The girl sat here, pointed, and said, "Pa". She did! She said, "Pa".
Kaffee: Sam,she was pointing at a mailbox.
Weinberg: That's right. Pointing as if to say, "Pa, look; a mailbox!"

View Quote Kaffee: You don't believe their story, do you? You think they ought to go to jail for the rest of their lives.
Weinberg: I believe every word of their story. And I think they ought to go to jail for the rest of their lives.

View Quote Kaffee: Is this your signature?
Dawson: Yes, sir!
Kaffee: You don't have to call me "sir". [to Downey] Is this your signature?
Downey: Sir, yes, sir!
Kaffee: And you certainly don't need to do it twice in one sentence.

View Quote Galloway: Tell your friend not to get cute down there, the Marines at Gitmo are fanatical.
Weinberg: Fanatical about what?
Galloway: About being Marines.

View Quote Weinberg: Don't forget to wear the whites. It's very hot down there.
Kaffee: I don't like the whites.
Weinberg: Nobody likes the whites, but we're going to Cuba. You got Dramamine?
Kaffee: Dramamine keeps you cool?
Weinberg: No, Dramamine keeps you from throwing up. You get sick when you fly.
Kaffee: I get sick when I fly 'cause I'm afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don't think Dramamine will help.
Weinberg: I got some oregano. I hear that works pretty good.

View Quote Barnes: I've got some camouflage jackets in the Jeep, sirs, I suggest you both put them on.
Kaffee: Camouflage jackets?
Barnes: Yes sir, we'll be riding pretty close to the fence line. The Cubans see an officer wearing white, they think it might be someone they'd wanna take a shot at.
Kaffee: Good call, Sam.

View Quote Kaffee: Hold on a sec, we got to take a boat?
Barnes: Yes sir, just 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.
