Layer Cake - Questioning Language and Identity in Conversation
XXXX:
That's a very expansive question.
Jimmy Price: [laughs]
Expansive? Tell me son, are you a homosexual? The day was when only homosexuals used words like "expansive". You're not a homosexual are you? Not behind in your rent?

Valkyrie - Tensions Rise Among Military Leaders
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel: [storms out as Fromm's secretary brings Stauffenberg and Olbricht in.]
I have better things to do with my time than to come down here and clean up your mess! If you were enough of a man to run this department, I wouldn't have to do it myself! You're an old woman, Fromm! I'd send you to the front if I didn't think you'd surrender, just to be Montgomery's whore!
General Friedrich Fromm:
What is it you want?
General Friedrich Olbricht:
I wanted to introduce our new man, Colonel Stauffenberg.
Fromm:
Ah! From Africa. Well, I'd offer you my hand, but I might not get it back.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg:
I'd say the General's lost more important things this morning.
Fromm: [breaks out in laughter; laughs; Stauffenberg and Olbricht sit at Fromm's desk]
It's about time they put somebody with balls into this office, Please sit down, Colonel. And you, Olbricht, if you must. They tell me you're critical of the war, Colonel, not that you don't seem to have good reason.
Stauffenberg:
I am critical of indecision, General.
Fromm:
In the field?
Stauffenberg:
In Berlin.
Fromm:
So, that's why you're here, I take it. To make decisions...
Stauffenberg:
I've already made my decision. I'm here to help others make theirs.
Fromm:
They say when there's no clear option, the best thing is to do nothing.
Stauffenberg:
We're at war. We must act. Sometimes rashly.
Fromm:
And what rash action did you have in mind, Colonel?
Stauffenberg:
That would be a decision for the supreme military commander, sir.
Fromm:
A supreme commander. Second only to the Chancellor. If I were that man, this war would be going quite differently.
Olbricht: [pause]
Well, we were thinking the same thing.
Fromm: [Carefully disables a listening device in his telephone]
I don't need to remind you that we have all sworn an oath to the Führer. Having said that, I'm going to forget this conversation ever took place, in the strict understanding that such talk never occurs again under this roof. Is that clear?!
Stauffenberg:
Yes, sir.
Olbricht:
Yes, sir.
Fromm:
Now you can tell your friends, Colonel, that I always come down on the right side, and as long as the Führer is alive, you know what side that is.
