Quotes from Cast a Giant Shadow
Emma Marcus:
Did you ever notice we don't have any children?
Col. David 'Mickey' Marcus: Only me.
Col. David 'Mickey' Marcus: Would you give up everything you love to fight an insane war for a little country that's gonna get its brains blown out in a couple of weeks?
Maj. Safir: If it were my country.
Col. David 'Mickey' Marcus: Maybe it's yours, but... it isn't mine.
Maj. Safir: But you are a Jew.
Col. David 'Mickey' Marcus: I'm an American, Major. That's my religion. The last time I was in Temple I was 13 years old. I made a speech and got 42 fountain pens. I don't have to go again. I've got enough fountain pens.
Gen. Mike Randolph: If I were running the Pentagon, I'd have you stood up against the wall. Instead, they'll probably pin a medal on you. Have you ever heard of the word *discipline*? A staff officer acting like a kid playing Cowboys-and-Indians is an example that could cost a hundred lives. What are you trying to prove, Marcus?
Col. David 'Mickey' Marcus: I wish the h__l I knew, sir.
