Is this funny, sir? No, it isn't. It's tragic. Do you have an answer to the question,...
Something wrong with the clip?

Kaffee:
[Kaffee has just asked why Santiago hadn't packed despite being due to be transferred in a few hours after the time of his death. Jessup smirks]
Is this funny, sir?
Col. Jessup:
No, it isn't. It's tragic.
Kaffee:
Do you have an answer to the question, Colonel?
Col. Jessup:
Absolutely. My answer is I don't have the first damn clue. Maybe he was an early riser and liked to pack in the morning. And maybe he didn't have any friends. I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the travel habits of William Santiago. What I do know is that he was set to leave the base at 0600. Now, are these really the questions I was called here to answer? Phone calls and foot lockers? Please tell me that you have something more, Lieutenant. These two Marines are on trial for their lives. Please tell me their lawyer hasn't pinned their hopes to a phone bill.
[Kaffee hesitates, dumbfounded]
Col. Jessup:
Do you have any more questions for me, Counselor?
Judge Randolph:
Lt. Kaffee?
[pause]
Judge Randolph:
Lieutenant, do you have anything further for this witness?
Col. Jessup:
[standing to leave]
Thanks, Danny. I love Washington.
Kaffee:
Excuse me. I didn't dismiss you.
Col. Jessup:
I beg your pardon?
Kaffee:
I'm not through with my examination. Sit down.
Col. Jessup:
Colonel!
Kaffee:
What's that?
Col. Jessup:
I would appreciate it if you would address me as "Colonel" or "Sir." I believe I've earned it.
Judge Randolph:
Defense counsel will address the witness as "Colonel" or "Sir."
Col. Jessup:
I don't know what the hell kind of unit you're running here.
Judge Randolph:
And the witness will address this court as "Judge" or "Your Honor." I'm quite certain I've earned it. Take your seat, Colonel.
Transcript
00:00:02.036 --> 00:00:05.056
- Do you have an answer?
- Absolutely.
00:00:05.129 --> 00:00:08.929
My answer is,
I don't have the first damn clue.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.766
Maybe he was an early riser
and liked to pack in the morning.
00:00:12.837 --> 00:00:15.067
And maybe he didn't have any friends.
00:00:15.074 --> 00:00:19.232
I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid
I can't speak intelligently...
00:00:19.031 --> 00:00:22.973
about the travel habits
of William Santiago.
00:00:23.001 --> 00:00:28.999
What I do know is that he was set
to leave the base at 0600.
00:00:28.953 --> 00:00:34.997
Now, are these really the questions
that I was called here to answer?
00:00:34.125 --> 00:00:36.491
Phone calls and footlockers?
00:00:36.561 --> 00:00:40.258
Please tell me that you have
something more, Lieutenant.
00:00:40.331 --> 00:00:44.001
These two Marines
are on trial for their lives.
00:00:44.168 --> 00:00:48.605
Please tell me that their lawyer hasn't
pinned their hopes to a phone bill.
00:00:51.109 --> 00:00:54.545
Do you have any other questions
for me, counselor?
00:01:13.298 --> 00:01:16.825
Lieutenant, do you have anything
further for this witness?
00:01:24.342 --> 00:01:26.999
Thanks, Danny.
I love Washington.
00:01:26.678 --> 00:01:29.001
Excuse me.
I didn't dismiss you.
00:01:30.348 --> 00:01:32.111
I beg your pardon?
00:01:32.001 --> 00:01:36.711
I'm not through with my examination.
Sit down.
00:01:38.423 --> 00:01:41.187
- Colonel.
- What's that?
00:01:41.259 --> 00:01:43.001
I'd appreciate it if you'd address me
as "colonel" or "sir."
00:01:43.995 --> 00:01:45.587
I believe I've earned it.
00:01:45.663 --> 00:01:49.895
Defense counsel will address
the witness as "colonel" or "sir."
00:01:49.968 --> 00:01:52.937
I don't know what the hell
kind of unit you're running here.
00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:56.804
The witness will address this court
as "judge" or "your honor."
00:01:56.874 --> 00:02:01.607
I'm quite certain I've earned it.
Take your seat, Colonel.
00:02:06.584 --> 00:02:10.001
What do you want to discuss now?
My favorite color?
00:02:11.999 --> 00:02:14.999
Colonel, the 6:00 a.m. flight
was the first one off the base?
00:02:14.726 --> 00:02:15.999
Yes.
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:17.999
There wasn't a flight
that left seven hours earlier...
00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:20.328
and landed at Andrews
Air Force Base at 2:00 a.m.?
00:02:20.398 --> 00:02:23.999
Lieutenant, I think
we've covered this, haven't we?
00:02:24.999 --> 00:02:26.529
Your Honor, these are
the tower chief's logs...
00:02:26.001 --> 00:02:29.001
for both Guantanamo Bay
and Andrews Air Force Base.
00:02:29.001 --> 00:02:32.874
The Guantanamo log lists no flight
that left at 11:00 p.m.
00:02:32.999 --> 00:02:35.001
The Andrews log lists no flight
that landed at 2:00 a.m.
00:02:35.613 --> 00:02:38.999
I'd like to admit them
as defense exhibits Alpha and Bravo.
00:02:38.983 --> 00:02:42.999
I don't understand. You're admitting
evidence of a flight that never existed.
00:02:42.999 --> 00:02:45.007
We believe it did, sir.
00:02:45.999 --> 00:02:48.422
Defense will be calling Airmen
Cecil O'Malley and Anthony Rodriguez.
00:02:48.999 --> 00:02:51.001
They were working the ground crew
at Andrews at 2:00 a.m. on the 7th.
00:02:51.596 --> 00:02:54.429
- These men weren't on the list.
- Rebuttal witnesses, Your Honor...
00:02:54.499 --> 00:02:58.833
called specifically to refute testimony
offered under direct examination.
00:02:58.999 --> 00:03:01.001
- I'll allow the witnesses.
- This is ridiculous.
00:03:01.999 --> 00:03:06.001
- Colonel, a moment ago...
- Check the tower logs, for Christ's sake!
00:03:07.001 --> 00:03:09.506
We'll get to the airmen
in just a minute, sir.
00:03:10.548 --> 00:03:12.982
A moment ago you said that
you ordered Lieutenant Kendrick...
00:03:13.011 --> 00:03:16.577
to tell his men
that Santiago wasn't to be touched.
00:03:16.654 --> 00:03:18.999
That's right.
00:03:18.999 --> 00:03:21.005
And Lieutenant Kendrick was clear
on what you wanted?
00:03:21.013 --> 00:03:22.001
Crystal.
00:03:22.001 --> 00:03:26.994
Any chance Lieutenant Kendrick
ignored the order?
00:03:26.999 --> 00:03:28.155
Ignored the order?
00:03:28.232 --> 00:03:31.999
Any chance he forgot about it?
00:03:31.999 --> 00:03:35.001
Any chance Lieutenant Kendrick left your
office and said, "The old man is wrong"?
00:03:37.999 --> 00:03:39.839
When Lieutenant Kendrick
spoke to the platoon...
00:03:39.911 --> 00:03:43.999
and ordered them not to touch Santiago,
any chance they ignored him?
00:03:44.001 --> 00:03:47.607
You ever served in an infantry unit, son?
