Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
The general tells me that you have misgivings, Arthur.
Atty. General Arthur Daniels:
I have always had misgivings, Charlie. The constitution is... is in my care. Others before us have tried to manipulate the constitution, but, Jesus, this thing makes them look like a Sunday picnic! I, uh... I can't be a part of subverting the constitution, Charlie-- not as a means to an end, even if that end is saving the country itself.
Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
Oh, my. You should reread the constitution, Arthur. I have.
Atty. General Arthur Daniels:
You unleash this thing... How do you know what will ultimately happen?
Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
Because i control what happens.
Atty. General Arthur Daniels:
What if something goes wrong?
Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
Arthur, nothing is going to go wrong.
Atty. General Arthur Daniels:
You have a backup plan. I don't want to hear about that, including that exercise this Saturday, you hear?
Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
Very well. I understand you have misgivings, Arthur. What I need to know is what do you intend to do about them?
Atty. General Arthur Daniels:
Nothing.
Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
Do I have your word on that?
Atty. General Arthur Daniels:
Yes. Damn you!
Defence Secretary Charles Potter:
I respect that, Arthur.
