Rules of Engagement

Combat Reality vs. Training Memory

Maj. Mark Biggs Let me get this straight. You evacuate the Ambassador. You go back to the roof. Two of your Marines are K.I.A. A third, Sergeant Krasevitch, dies. You give your captain an order which he doesn't follow; in fact, he questions. And then you said what?

Col. Terry L. Childers I don't remember.

Maj. Mark Biggs You don't remember what you said next?

Col. Terry L. Childers It was combat, not some training exercise.

Maj. Mark Biggs A moment later, your men were shooting. What did you say to make that happen?

Col. Terry L. Childers I don't know.

Maj. Mark Biggs You must have said something. Captain Lee reversed himself. What did you say?

Col. Terry L. Childers I don't know the exact words.

Maj. Mark Biggs Let me help you.

Col. Hayes Hodges Your Honor.

Maj. Mark Biggs You said "Waste the motherfuckers," didn't you?

Col. Terry L. Childers No, no, no...

Maj. Mark Biggs You didn't say it?

Col. Terry L. Childers It all happened so fast-

Maj. Mark Biggs You're under oath, Colonel! Let me refresh your memory. This is Exhibit Q, a tape recording made aboard the U.S.S. Wake lsland of all radio communications received that day, including your exact words. Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to play this tape.

[Childers hesitates and doesn't reply.]

Col. Terry L. Childers If you got it on tape, then that's what I said! They were killing my Marines, so, yeah, I said it! "Waste the motherfuckers!

Maj. Mark Biggs Are these "the motherfuckers"?

Col. Hayes Hodges Objection.

Judge Overruled.

Col. Terry L. Childers Yes!

Maj. Mark Biggs These?

Col. Hayes Hodges Objection!

Col. Terry L. Childers Yes!

Maj. Mark Biggs These?

Col. Hayes Hodges Objection!

Judge Overruled.

Col. Terry L. Childers Yes!

Maj. Mark Biggs Are these "the motherfuckers" that you ordered to be wasted?

Judge Major.

Col. Terry Childers YES!

Col. Hayes Hodges Your Honor...

Major Mark Biggs The crowd in front of the embassy had no weapons, did they, Colonel?

Col. Hayes Hodges Objection! We found no snipers weapons, either!

Col. Terry L. Childers Yes, they had weapons! You think there's a script for fighting a war without pissing somebody off?! Follow the rules and no one gets hurt?! Yes, innocent people probably died. Innocent people always die! But I did not exceed my orders!

Maj. Mark Biggs There are rules and Marines are sworn to uphold them!

Col. Terry L. Childers I was NOT going to stand by and see another Marine die just to live by those fucking rules!

Judge Colonel!

Testimony and Accountability After Three Decades

Maj. Mark Biggs Colonel. You realize in light of Colonel Cao's testimony, we'll be pushing for charges on the Ca Lu incident.

Col. Hayes Hodges That was 30 years ago; you're going to have a hard time finding witnesses.

Maj. Mark Biggs Well, I thought maybe you'd be willing to testify.

Colonel Hayes Hodges I'll make you a deal. If you can tell me right now what the life expectancy was for a second lieutenant dropped into a hot LZ in Vietnam in 1968, I'll tell you everything I remember about Ca Lu.

Major Mark Biggs One week.

Colonel Hayes Hodges Negative. Sixteen minutes. Sixteen fucking minutes. That's all I remember.

The King's Speech

The Burden of Royal Responsibilities

Bertie David, I've been trying to see you

King Edward VIII I've been terribly busy.

Bertie Doing what?

King Edward VIII Kinging.

Bertie Really? Kinging... is a precarious business these days. Where's the Russian Tsar, Where's... cousin Wilhelm?

King Edward VIII Ugh, you're being dreary.

Bertie Is Kinging laying off... 80... staff and buying more pearls for Wallis while people are marching across Europe singing The Red Flag?

King Edward VIII Stop your worrying, Herr Hitler will sort them out.

Bertie And who will sort out Herr Hitler?

King Edward VIII Where's the bloody 23?

Bertie AND YOU PUT THAT WOMAN IN OUR MOTHER'S SUITE!

King Edward VIII Mama's not still in the bed, is she?

Bertie That's not funny.

King Edward VIII Here it is, Wallis likes the very best.

Bertie I don't care what... woman you carry on with at night as long as you... show up for duty in the morning.

King Edward VIII Wallis is not just some woman I'm carrying on with, we intend to marry.

Bertie Excuse me?

[pause]

King Edward VIII She's filing a petition for divorce.

Bertie Good God... can't you just give her a nice house and a title?

King Edward VIII I'm not having her as my mistress.

Bertie The Church doesn't recognize divorce and you are the... head of the Church

King Edward VIII Haven't I any rights?

Bertie Many privileges.

King Edward VIII Not the same thing. Your beloved common man may marry for love, why not me?

Bertie If you were... a common man on what basis could you... possibly claim to be king?

King Edward VIII Sounds like you've studied our wretched constitution.

Bertie Sounds like you haven't.

King Edward VIII That's what this is about, brushing up. Hence the elocution lessons, that's the scoop around town.

Bertie I'm trying to...

King Edward VIII Yearning for a larger audience, are we B-B-B-B-Bertie?

Bertie Don't...

[pause]

King Edward VIII What's that? I'm sorry, I... younger brother trying to push older brother off the throne, p-p-p-p-positively medieval.
