The Wind and the Lion1975
Capt. Jerome, USMC:
It seems quite obvious, I would think, sir - we must seize the government and make our own negotiations.
Gummere:
[incredulous] Seize the government?
Capt. Jerome, USMC:
At BAYONET point!
Gummere:
[snidely; to Dreighton] Well, I certainly would like to see that old son-of-a-b*tch at bayonet point, huh? [chuckles] But it's ridiculous; it's outrageous, it's lunatic!
Adm. Chadwick:
Yes, isn't it though? I think Teddy should love it!
Gummere:
But, what about the French, the Germans - the British? Why we're in the shadow of Gibraltar!
Adm. Chadwick:
[slams his hand on table and stands up] DAMN THE LEGATIONS!
Gummere:
[uneasily] You realize, of course, that if we fail in even the slightest way, we'll all be killed?
Adm. Chadwick:
Yes, and the whole world will probably go to war.
Capt. Jerome, USMC:
Gentlemen, if we fail and are killed, I certainly hope the world DOES go to war! [raises glass as a toast]
Adm. Chadwick:
The world at war!
Gummere:
A world war? Now THAT would be something to go out on...
