James Garner Quotes:
Beverly Boyer: You're not a big fat rat!
Dr. Gerald Boyer: You -- you're a sweet wonderful woman, and I don't know why it's taken me so long to find out.
Beverly Boyer: Hush darling, don't say anymore, please.
Dr. Gerald Boyer: You're the most wonderful, understanding woman in the world -- Gloria!
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: [to Emily] Well, you're a good woman. You've done the morally right thing. God save us all from people who do the morally right thing. It's always the rest of us who get broken in half.
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: War isn't hell at all. It's man at his best; the highest morality he's capable of. It's not war that's insane, you see. It's the morality of it. It's not greed or ambition that makes war: it's goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reasons: for liberation or manifest destiny. Always against tyranny and always in the interest of humanity. So far this war, we've managed to butcher some ten million humans in the interest of humanity. Next war it seems we'll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity. It's not war that's unnatural to us, it's virtue. As long as valor remains a virtue, we shall have soldiers. So, I preach cowardice. Through cowardice, we shall all be saved.
