with Sam and Joanne present] Why does a Lieutenant Junior Grade with nine months' experience and a track record for plea bargaining get assigned to a murder case? Would it be so it never sees the inside of a courtroom?

There was no poison on the rag and there was no intent to kill, and any attempt to prove otherwise is futile because it just isn't true. When Dawson and Downey entered Santiago's room that night, it wasn't because of vengeance or hatred; it wasn't to kill or harm. And it wasn't because they were looking for "kicks" on a Friday night. It was what they were ordered to do. Let me say that again, *it was what they were ordered to do*. Out in the real world, it means nothing, and in the Washington navy yard it doesn't mean a whole lot more, but if you're a marine assigned rifle company Windward Guantánamo Bay Cuba, if you're given an order you follow it or you pack your bags. Make no mistake about it, Harold W. Dawson and Private Louden Downey are sitting before you today because they did their job.

We'll work out of my apartment 7 o'clock. Jo, before you come over tonight, pick up a carton of legal pads half a dozen boxes red and black pens half a dozen boxes. Sam get a couple desk lamps, I need you to start on preliminary medical profile, and Jo, we need all the proficiency and conduct reports on Dawson, Downey and Santiago.

Oh, spare me the psychobabble father bullshit.

Whatever happened to saluting an officer when he leaves the room?

Oh, now I see what you're saying. It had to be Professor Plum in the library with the candlestick.

All right, take the night off. We've been working twenty hours a day for three and half weeks straight just take the night off, Sam go see your wife and your daughter, Jo go do... whatever it is you do when you're not here.

The only thing I have to eat is Yoohoo and Cocoa Puffs, so if you want anything else bring it with you. Okay?

They drew the court members this afternoon. Seven men, two women, five Navy, four Marines. All officers with line experience. Neither of the women have children. So that's a bad break. There 's nothing we can do. My father always said a jury trial is not just about the law. It's about "assigning blame". Santiago's dead, and he shouldn't be. These nine people are going to insist that someone be "blamed" for that. Ross is handing them our clients. We're gonna hand them Kendrick. This is about a sales pitch. It's not going to won by the law, It's gonna be won by the lawyers. So remember, poker faces. Don't flinch in front of the court members. Something doesn't go our way, don't hang your head, don't shift in your seat, don't scribble furiously. Whatever happens, you have to look like it's exactly what you knew would happen. If you pass me documents, Do it swiftly and don't look over anxious.
