Sir... I have an opinion on this matter. Well, by all means, share it with the squad....
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Private Jackson:
Sir... I have an opinion on this matter.
Captain Miller:
Well, by all means, share it with the squad.
Private Jackson:
Well, from my way of thinking, sir, this entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources.
Captain Miller:
Yeah. Go on.
Private Jackson:
Well, it seems to me, sir, that God gave me a special gift, made me a fine instrument of warfare.
Captain Miller:
Reiben, pay attention. Now, this is the way to gripe. Continue, Jackson.
Private Jackson:
Well, what I mean by that, sir, is... if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, war's over. Amen.
Private Reiben:
Oh, that's brilliant, bumpkin. Hey, so, Captain, what about you? I mean, you don't gripe at all?
Captain Miller:
I don't gripe to *you*, Reiben. I'm a captain. There's a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down. Always up. You gripe to me, I gripe to my superior officer, so on, so on, and so on. I don't gripe to you. I don't gripe in front of you. You should know that as a Ranger.
Private Reiben:
I'm sorry, sir, but uh... let's say you weren't a captain, or maybe I was a major. What would you say then?
Captain Miller:
Well, in that case... I'd say, "This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover... I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men - especially you, Reiben - to ease her suffering."
Mellish:
[chuckles]
He's good.
Private Caparzo:
I love him.
[they make mocking kissy-faces at each other]
