You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. The luxury of not knowing what I know.

Você quer respostas? Eu quero a verdade! Você não aguenta a verdade! Filho, vivemos em um mundo com muros, e esses muros precisam ser guardados por homens com armas. Quem vai fazer isso? Você? Você, Tenente Weinberg? Tenho uma responsabilidade maior do que você pode imaginar. Você chora por Santiago e amaldiçoa os Fuzileiros. Você tem esse luxo. O luxo de não saber o que eu sei. E minha existência, embora grotesca e incompreensível para você, salva vidas! Você ordenou o código vermelho? Com toda certeza, eu ordenei!
