- You want answers, you can’t handle the truth. Dinarians, we live in a world where revaluations need to be completed, who’s going to do it, you Bulldog, you BGG, I have a greater responsibility that you can possibly fathom, you weep for Intel providers and you curse the world governments, you have that luxury, you have that luxury of not knowing what I know, the lack of solid Intel while tragic, probably saved someone money and my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible by you, brings Intel to 3S. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about it at parties, you want me to bring that Intel, you need me to bring that Intel We use word like Revaluation, IMF, World Finances, we use these words of the backbone of a life spent investigating the Iraqi revaluation, you use them as a punch line, I have neither the time not the inclination to explain myself to a group who rises and sleeps under the blanket of information I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it, I would rather you just say thank you and went on your way otherwise I suggest you pick up a phone and start gathering Intel, either way I don’t give a dam what you think you are entitled to...
Whoa...some powerful words indeed! :)
Here's the original of this speech from the movie A Few Good Men... This is Jack Nicholson's character, Col. Jessep on the stand with Tom Cruse as the prosecuting millitary attorney, Kaffee... One of Movies greatest speeches.... |
- Col. Jessep: *You want answers?*
Kaffee: *I want the truth!*
Col. Jessep: *You can't handle the truth!*
[pauses]
Col. Jessep: 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. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly 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 my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because 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.
