you want answers?!

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns... Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use them as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

'genetics, education and a good tailor... thats it!' - Wall Street, the movie.

reminded me of me...

Baby Mumble hippity-hopped over the ice as fast as his little feet could carry him. The Emperor penguins had never seen anything like it.
“What’re you doing, son?” Memphis asked nervously.
“I’m happy, Pa!” Mumble said.
“What’re you doing with your feet?”
“They’re happy, too!” exclaimed Mumble as he danced on the ice.
“I wouldn’t do that around folks, son,” Memphis said. “It ain’t Penguin!”
