Movie quotes

  • (..) Lieutenant O'Neil, when I want your opinion, I'll give it to ya. Did you take this matter up with my Command Master Chief? I believe you instructed me to come directly to you, sir, if I felt I was being mistreated in any way. All right, Lieutenant. I want names. I want specific grievances. (..)
