Jean Casey : Why is everything always an order?
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : He knows what he did. Can't lick a problem if it licks you first.
Jean Casey : Mac, he's 13. He was born into this family. He didn't enlist.
-
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : It's Todd. He's 13. He's working at an appliance store, Kraemer's. He stole eight video recorders. Took him months. He doesn't know why he did it, and neither do I. But somehow, it all... comes down to me being a bad father. He's a good kid.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : Mac... Good kids often lose their way. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : I've been trained that way. I'm a marine, sir.

President William Foster : You're career military. You're General Lloyd's protege. Why didn't you join them?

President William Foster : If they had?
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : The military exist to support and defend the government. Not to be the government, Sir.

Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : If I don't get some hard proof by 8:00 tomorrow night, there'll be no second chances.
Jake : We came forward to you. Why would I hold back hard proof?
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : It compromises some other interest of yours? Maybe an agent you have in place?
Jake : Hypothetically speaking, if such an agent existed, I presume one could bargain.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : One can always bargain.

General R. Pendleton Lloyd : Uh... should have kept my big mouth shut!
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : Spoke up. Straight. Honest. It's time somebody did.

General R. Pendleton Lloyd : I used to know who my enemies were. Who'd have guessed five years ago that Iran and Iraq would be allies? The next fight in the middle east... It's going to make the gulf war look like a family picnic. When it comes, we won't be ready. Look at this. We're cops. We're builders. We're health-care providers. Worst of all... We're politicians.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : Sucks.
General R. Pendleton Lloyd : Ah. Hell, let's not mince words.
-
Todd : And she asked how we get along.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : How do we get along?

Todd : Take your shot or give it up.

President William Foster : Now let me ask you a question. You believe General Lloyd is a hero?

Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : I'm afraid he could be.
-
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : The attorney general... he died of a heart attack, Sir?
President William Foster : Art Daniels just had his physical a week ago at Bethesda. We asked about it. He was in perfect health.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : The KGB... used to use smoke and prussic acid. Death was instantaneous. Looked like a coronary. Our boys could have done the same thing.
President William Foster : You believe Art Daniels was assassinated?
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : What I do not believe in, Sir, is coincidence.
-
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : I'm no angel, Jean. I may be a lousy father... But I promise I'll be there for him.

Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : How'd you get these photographs?
Jake : We accessed your high resolution satellite. Very simple.

General R. Pendleton Lloyd : This is symbolic. We could've met over a beer, like a couple of marines.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : Here is better, in front of the marines who died defending the things you're trying to destroy.
General R. Pendleton Lloyd : Leave the speeches to the politicians.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : If there'll be any left after you.

General R. Pendleton Lloyd : You'd go all the way with this? Career, family-- you'd lose it all.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : I'll lose it all anyway if you're in charge.

-
General R. Pendleton Lloyd : We all want the same thing, a country secure from foreign aggression.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : We can have that as long as we have a country worth fighting for. Who'd fight for Jack Giddings or Potter? Count me out.
General R. Pendleton Lloyd : You would stand by and watch everything we fought and died for betrayed by a man who never wore a uniform?
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : He is the elected president.
-
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : Scorched tapes and ashes.
Betsy Corcoran : Damn! At least it proves we're right. This thing does go deeper than the military.
Col. MacKenzie 'Mac' Casey : It proves it to us-- not the country.
