(..) we are here today to protect each other from those who threaten it. Who is this, Mr. Simms? This is Mr. Frank Slade, Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army, retired. I'm here in place of Charlie's parents. Excuse me? In loco parentis. They could not make the trip from Oregon today. (..)

(..) Piece or weapon, Charlie, never gun. Where did you get the piece? I'm an officer in the US Army. This is my sidearm. But you're not an officer anymore. So I'm retired, so what? An officer never relinquishes his .. You better relinquish it to me or I'm gonna have to call Mrs. Rossi. Good idea. (..)
