List of voters for the quote

Captain Will Stone: [He's just caught Merriam getting into the arsenal locker; he pulls his revolver on him] Hold it! Move, and you'll get a bullet through the abdomen. Not a pleasant or quick death, either. Perhaps you've never seen a man die that way? But I want you to live! I want you to learn the great lesson that I thought I'd taught you: authority *cannot* be questioned!3rd Officer Tom Merriam: That's crazy talk.Captain Will Stone: Well, I've never felt more sane in my life than I do at this moment... Who's crazy? You, who defied me and are helpless? Or I, who control your destiny and the destiny of the 'Altair' and all the lives on board?3rd Officer Tom Merriam: I wish Bowns... I wish the crew could see what I see now, could hear you talk.Captain Will Stone: You think I'm insane?3rd Officer Tom Merriam: Yes, and they would too if they could see you now, raving and ranting...Captain Will Stone: I'm captain. As long as I wear these stripes there isn't a man in the crew that'll believe you or help you. You'll find them too lazy, too cowardly, too disinterested... That's what I want you to learn, Merriam! Men are worthless cattle! And a few men are given authority to drive them.3rd Officer Tom Merriam: You can't prove that to me, even with a gun, Captain. I know people aren't that way. They're good, kind. They help each other. It's only hard to get them to understand.Captain Will Stone: I'll give you a chance to make them understand. You go out there. Go any place you want on board ship. Talk to them. SEE if you can get them to help you. SEE if they'll stand up with you against authority. Even your friend Sparks won't help you. Go ahead, get out! TRY and get help against me! Try! Try! Try!
