Official Denial (1993 TV Movie)

Chad Everett: General Spaulding

Quotes 

• Colonel Lerner : The Alien's gone. So's your man Corliss.

  General Spaulding : You think Corliss took him?

  Colonel Lerner : That's exactly what I think. I also think he had to have had help. He had a gun and a Transport Two Manifest.

  General Spaulding : He could have stolen them.

  Colonel Lerner : Or SOMEBODY could have given them to him. In which case, General, you and I are both prime suspects... and I know I didn't do it.

• General Spaulding : That dog won't hunt, Colonel.

• General Spaulding : [after Spaulding has helped Corliss escaped]  As you yourself so astutely pointed out, you are the other suspect.

  Colonel Lerner : What's the point?

  General Spaulding : Point is you want to play it by the book, you're going to have to relieve yourself of duty as well. As I see it, we can do our job, or we can both turn ourselves over for house arrest.

  Colonel Lerner : I'll find Corliss. And if you had *anything* to do with this your career... is over... General.
