You always come barging
into the Pentagon...
:20:12
...asking a question
on a life-or-death matter...
:20:15
...to be answered in exactly two minutes.
:20:17
I'd just be an adviser.
It's headquarters stuff.
:20:20
You couldn't advise a taffy pull
without slugging somebody.
:20:24
I know it's touchy.
:20:27
What's our official policy
in the Middle East?
:20:30
This afternoon or this morning?
:20:33
There's good military reason for remaining
friendly with the Arab governments...
:20:37
...and none for loaning a reserve officer...
:20:39
...as military adviser
to a pipsqueak nation...
:20:42
...that'll be blown off the map on May 15.
:20:45
You can't put out all the fires.
:20:48
Suppose I go as a private citizen?
:20:49
Then don't involve the Army in any way.
Don't use your rank...
:20:53
...or even your right name.
:20:54
Is it all right with you
if I keep the same sex?
:20:58
Colonel, I am not requesting you
not to go...
:21:01
...I am ordering you not to go.
:21:03
That's the best
damn reason I've heard yet for going.
:21:10
You're going to get yourself killed someday
sticking your neck out.
:21:15
I can hardly wait.
:21:18
Thank you, General.
:21:48
You sure this passport's okay?
:21:50
It must be. You're the fourth one to use it.
