Shanna Reed: Polly Cooper

Quotes 

• Gen. Marcus C. Craig : [after drinking some wine poured by his wife just barely in view of the camera]  What can I say, that has already not been said about the magnificent base that is Camp Hollister. It was Camp Hollister. It has been my privilege to serve as base commander for the last three and final years of Hollister's glorious history. But it is said all good things must end. And so it is with Hollister. It does no good to rage against our fate. Or more precisely those dunderheads in Congress; all they can hear is the sound of those thirty pieces of silver clanking in their pockets.

  Mimzy Craig : [off camera]  Marcus!

  Gen. Marcus C. Craig : [pointing to her and taking another sip]  It's true and you know it. Just like to ask those penny-pinching pinheads: if your'e so hot to save dollars, why not start with the big bucks you send out to countries each year that hate our guts and have no intention of paying it back?

  Mimzy Craig : [just off camera again, so we don't see her face]  Marcus!

  Gen. Marcus C. Craig : [taking another sip]  Pipe down, woman! Oh, and another thing: what about the hundreds of government limos you see driving Federal fatcats all over Washington? I say...

  [yelling] 

  Gen. Marcus C. Craig : TAKE THE DAMN BUS! Marines don't use limos! We march! Maybe it more government officials marched there'd be more money to keep outstanding bases like our alive! Hit me again, Mimzy!

  [takes another sip] 

  Polly Cooper McGillis : [shutting off the video]  Just thought you might like to see it before I burn it.
