JAG quotes

The only easy day was yesterday.

Do you want this medal, Rivers?

It's just a trinket.

You know, General Patton once said he would sell his soul for the Medal of Honor.

General Patton wasn't a SEAL. We don't do what we do for the ribbons, ma'am. Men die for their buddies. Others die for their country. And some die for no reason at all. But no one, no one I know, ever died for a medal.

Well, I would venture a guess, lieutenant, that you have never been married.

If the Navy wanted me to have a wife, they would have issued me one with my dog tags and my seabag.

You know, I would have... I would have thought you were a cigar man.

I would be if they didn't taste like goat patties.

I like them. Goat patties.

You have a reputation of being quite the pit bull when you want something.

Well, I like to think of myself...

I like pit bulls, commander. What I don't like is a bunch of Washington pencil-necks coming into my backyard and dumping into my sandbox.

Do you know what the admiral has me doing? Freedom of Information Act request, student loan recovery, delinquent car loans. And Admiral Drake's wife wants clearance to hold a bingo game at Bethesda.

A fundraiser?

Yep. Why am I doing this? Do you have any idea why Admiral Chegwidden is so mad at me?

The same reason we all are, Mac.

I may not like it, but I'm happy for you. And, hell, it's not like you're going to Afghanistan. I mean, you're taking a job in Washington, right? We'll probably be fighting each other in court again next week.

I'd like that.

That's because you're a masochist. Hey, don't start crying. If people see the Marines crying, give the Corps a bad name.

Permission to hug the commander?

Sure. Permission granted.

I'm gonna miss you, Harm.

I'm gonna miss you too, Sarah. Your ride's here. Nice car.

Yeah, but it's no Tomcat.

Harriet

Did you ever try to make love to a man wearing armour, Major?

Does football equipment count?

Harriet

That was a rhetorical question, I didn’t mean...

I’m kidding, Harriet.

Do you think Harm is capable of murder?

Under the right circumstances, we're all capable of murder.

Bud

What do you want me to do, sir?

Go home. Forget you saw me.

Bud

No, seriously, what can I do to help?

I'm being serious, Bud. If Admiral Chegwidden found out you were here, you'd be shoveling snow in Yakutsk for three years. Go on.

Bud

(forcefully) Wait, wait. Don't do this.

What?

Bud

Well, a guy believes in you, trusts you and offers you help, and you just diss him? You can't do that.

Take it easy, Bud.

Bud

(angrily) I'm your friend. Right now you can use all the friends that you can get. So don't tell me to "Take it easy, Bud,"... sir.

Bud, it's because you're my friend that I don't want you to be involved in this.

Bud

Sir, I've already aided and abetted. I don't know how much more involved I can get.

Webb, I don't know whether to thank you or ram your teeth down your throat.

My request for resignation?

Got too busy to process it.

Thank you, sir. It's good to be back.

That remains to be seen, major.

(referring to the Ensign) I'm going to have a psychological evaluation done.

Since when does a woman have to be crazy to shoot a man?

(explaining why "women's intuition" is a valid defense) Sir, when we leave this building tonight we'll do it in very different ways. You'll get in your car and drive off.I'll walk out and pay attention to shadows and dark corners. The keys will be in my hand for quick access to my car, and in case I need them for a weapon. I don't give it a second thought because it's standard operating procedure every time I leave every building. Women's intuition isn't a joke, it's a matter of survival!
