JAG quotes

You're bleeding to death! (Removes his belt to use as a tourniquet)

Lieutenant, we barely know each other.

We're looking for a 5 digit code with a 7.

How much time?

7 minutes. Funny, huh?

No!

Who was right?

I don't think the wrong one would want you to know that, sir.

Lt. Dumai

Do you respect no man?

Respect, yes. Fear, no.

How can work compare to the caresses of a man you love?

I wasn't comparing them, Colonel. You were.

A woman like you needs a strong hand.

I already have a strong hand. My own.

Lt. Dumai

You think that you are superior to me because men treat you as an equal.

No. And not all men treat me as an equal. I just don't accept the behavior of those who don't as correct.

Lt. Dumai

Have you ever heard of Babylon?

Of course. Everyone's heard of ancient Babylon. The Tower, and the Hanging Gardens....

Lt. Dumai

It is 3000 years old and we have other cities even older, and how old is America?

A little over 200 years.

Lt. Dumai

Your country is like a child who has learned nothing yet thinks it knows everything. Let your civilization survive its first thousand years; then perhaps we'll begin to listen.

Even the young have something of value to offer.

Lt. Dumai

But is it not for the old to decide if they want accept it?

Yes.

Lt. Dumai

Then why do you try so hard to push your ways on me?

Because I can't stand to see anyone denied their human right.

It's just like Stagecoach!

Uh huh, with John Wayne.

John Wayne was being chased by Iraqis?

Indians.

Right in the middle of Monument Valley.

Bet they didn't have a woman with them.

You'd bet wrong! They had a woman a lot like you. Claire Trevor.

Yep. Prostitute Duke fell for.

Are you comparing me to a prostitute?

Uh, no ma'am, I didn't say that!

I did! And I meant she was spunky.

'Spunky' doesn't cut it, sir.

How about pretty?

That's what I told them. That occasionally circumstances dictate that we have to act beyond the courtroom. Then State wanted to look at your cases for the past few months, and wanted to know if staging jailbreaks in Iraq, flying missions in F-14s, and recovering stolen nuclear weapons qualified as "occasionally."

Well, they say the Navy is not just a job, it's an adventure.

You must satisfy me, or you will never leave this island. And don't get any bright ideas. Because we have a swamp so deep, it will take you down quicker than your boyfriend.

My man's out there, ain't no swamp gonna stop me.

Next time you screw up, you and I are gonna have a little night visit.

Leave her alone.

You want some of me? (Silence) That's what I thought. (to Meg) You straight?

Uh-huh. Are you?

A Marine should always be alert. I will demonstrate why. (Pushes Meg into a mud pit)

Staff Sergeant Carrington, I'd like you to meet Lieutenant JG Austin,

(Surprised look) Ma'am.

I know it wasn't personal. You were just doing your job.

Yes ma'am, that's because I thought Private McEntire had a future in the military. I just didn't realize how right I was. Ma'am.

My four bits.

I never understood bits.

It comes from the old Spanish dollar, pieces of eight. Two bits to a quarter, four bits, fifty cents, my fifty cents which is in your pocket.

I bet you go Dutch on dates.

You expect the spaceships to be lined up along the tarmac?

Very funny.

Seriously. If there was a race advanced enough to travel millions of light-years to Earth, I truly doubt we could catch them, no matter how much we wanted to.
