Col. Jessup:
[in Jessup's office after Kendrick was asked to leave]
Matthew, sit down, please.
[Lt. Col. Markinson sits]
Col. Jessup:
What do you think of Kendrick?
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
Nathan, I don't think that my opinion of Kendrick has any...
Col. Jessup:
I think he's kind of a weasel, myself. But he's an awfully good officer, and in the end we see eye to eye on the best way to run a Marine Corps unit. We're in the business of saving lives, Matthew. That's a responsibility we have to take pretty seriously. And I believe that taking a Marine who's not quite up to the job and shipping him off to another assignment, puts lives in danger.
[Markinson begins to stand]
Col. Jessup:
Matthew, siddown.
Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson:
[sits]
Col. Jessup:
We go back a while. We went to the Academy together, we were commissioned together, we did our tours in Vietnam together. But I've been promoted up through the chain of command with greater speed and success than you have. Now if that's a source of tension or embarrassment for you, well, I don't give a shit. We're in the business of saving lives, Lieutenant Colonel Markinson. Don't ever question my orders in front of another officer.
