[flashback]
[to Admiral Hennessey] I heard you. But I've come to see that you and I were wrong about him. Lord Hamilton isn't someone we should be wary of, he is exactly the kind of man we should be listening to. On the day I was made an officer, you pulled me aside. You told me how proud you were of me. You told me that the measure of a man is in the moment when he is confronted by himself. By opposing voices in his head, both arguing that they are right, but one has to be wrong. To be the difference in that moment, that is what makes an officer. What makes a man. Well, I see the difference here. I know it.
