Did you order the Code Red?! Judge Randolph : You don't have to answer that question! Col Jessup : I'll answer the question. You want answers? Col Jessup : You want answers?! Col Jessup : You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. This post-truth world means we will need to have great patience.
We will need to humble ourselves, deal with our pride and learn to use careful instruction. We must keep our head in all situations. Because the reality is, we think we have the truth. We think we know the right path. And, granted, sometimes we might. But in this season, quite often I fear that some who think they have all their opinions down pat are actually unable to see beyond their own rigid ideological positions.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You need me on that wall. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
Midtown South Precinct posted it on Twitter. There was close-range video of the attack. And the zest with which some officers protected their authority nurtured distrust. And, although the tweet was short-lived it appeared late Monday morning and was gone by mid-afternoon , the battle lines it helped define have lasted.
Though Jessup is a villain, after all, he acknowledges his ugly amorality. He believes instead in the essential righteousness of what he does, the greater good of his hard, unrelenting work. It was unsurprising, then, to open the Times last week and read Sorkin making exactly that point, on a very different topic. Shame on the press, he said, for publishing private messages enlisted for the cause of cyber-terrorism. He wrote that e-mails from Sony offer no revelations on the scale of the Pentagon Papers he is right , and that blocking the release of a multi-million-dollar holiday film is an affront to American free speech debatable.
We create movie moments.
