Capt. Ross:
Corporal Barnes, I hold here the Marine Outline for Recruit Training. You're familiar with this book?
Cpl. Barnes:
Yes, sir.
Capt. Ross:
Have you read it?
Cpl. Barnes:
Yes, sir.
Capt. Ross:
[hands him the book]
Good. Would you turn to the chapter that deals with code reds, please?
Cpl. Barnes:
[confused]
Sir?
Capt. Ross:
Just flip to the page of the book that discusses code reds.
Cpl. Barnes:
Well, well, you see, sir code red is a term that we use. I mean, just down at Gitmo. I don't know if it's actually...
Capt. Ross:
Ah, we're in luck then. Standard Operating Procedures, Rifle Security Company, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now, I assume we'll find the term code red and its definition in that book. Am I correct?
Cpl. Barnes:
No, sir.
Capt. Ross:
No? Corporal Barnes, I'm a Marine. Is there no book, no manual or pamphlet, no set of orders or regulations that lets me know that, as a Marine, one of my duties is to perform code reds?
Cpl. Barnes:
No, sir. No book, sir.
Capt. Ross:
No further questions.
[as Ross walks back to his table Kaffee takes the book out of his hand]

Kaffee:
Corporal, would you turn to the page in this book that says where the mess hall is, please?
Cpl. Barnes:
Well, Lt. Kaffee, that's not in the book, sir.
Kaffee:
You mean to say in all your time at Gitmo, you've never had a meal?
Cpl. Barnes:
No, sir. Three squares a day, sir.
Kaffee:
I don't understand. How did you know where the mess hall was if it's not in this book?
Cpl. Barnes:
Well, I guess I just followed the crowd at chow time, sir.
Kaffee:
No more questions.
