好人寥寥 A Few Good Men Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2023-10-31

在美国驻古巴关达那摩湾的海军基地，两名海军陆战队员道森和多尼被指控杀害了另一名士兵圣地亚哥。海军律师丹尼尔·卡菲（汤姆·克鲁斯 Tom Cruise 饰）和助手山姆被派接手此桩案件，他们调查到圣地亚哥曾希望调离基地，还举报过道森。卡菲本想进行庭外协调，争取两年刑期。然而 两名士兵坚持自己无罪，他们对圣地亚哥的行为是执行上级给他们下达的“红色条规”。所谓红色条规，就是一种军官默许的由士兵私下进行的训诫条规。 　　卡菲、山姆以及另一名女律师盖洛维（黛米·摩尔 Demi Moore 饰）组成辩方律师进行调查，而基地指挥官杰塞普上校（杰克·尼科尔森 Jack Nicholson 饰）是本案的关键人物，他拒绝了圣地亚哥的调离申请，对他下达了“红色条规”，事后私自篡改了飞行记录。卡菲虽然知道真相，却苦于证据不足，这种情况下若是指证杰塞普上校还会给自己带来麻烦。这场关乎正义的诉讼案，会有一个怎样的结果
KENDRICK:
I'd say he was about average.
KAFFEE:
Lieutenant, you signed three fitness reports on Santiago. On all three reports you indicated a rating of Below Average.
KENDRICK:
Yes. Private Santiago was Below Average I didn't see the need in trampling on a man's grave.
KAFFEE:
We appreciate that, but you're under oath now, and I think unpleasant as it may be, we'd all just as soon hear the truth.
KENDRICK:
I'm aware of my oath.
KAFFEE's handed some more files.
KAFFEE:
Lieutenant, these are the last three fitness reports you signed for Lance Corporal Dawson and PFC Downey. Downey received three straight marks of Exceptional. Dawson received two marks of Exceptional, but on this most recent report, dated June 9th of this year, he received a rating of Below Average. It's this last report that I'd like to discuss for a moment.
KENDRICK:
That's fine.
KAFFEE:
Lance Corporal Dawson's ranking after Infantry Training School was perfect.
Records indicate that over half that class has since been promoted to full corporal, while Dawson has remained a lance corporal. Was Dawson's promotion held up because of this last fitness report.
KENDRICK:
I'm sure it was.
KAFFEE:
Do you recall why Dawson was given such a poor grade on this report?
KENDRICK:
I'm sure I don't. I have many men in my charge, Lieutenant, I write many fitness reports.
KAFFEE:
Do you recall an incident involving a PFC Curtis Barnes who'd been found stealing liquor from the Officer's Club?
KENDRICK:
Yes.
KAFFEE:
Did you report private Barnes to the proper authorities?
KENDRICK:
I have two books at my bedside, Lieutenant, the Marine Code of Conduct and the King James Bible. The only proper authorities I'm aware of are my Commanding Officer, Colonel Nathan R. Jessep and the Lord our God.
KAFFEE:
Lt. Kendrick, at your request, I can have the record reflect your lack of acknowledgment of this court as a proper authority.
ROSS:
Objection. Argumentative.
RANDOLPH:
Sustained.
(to KAFFEE) Watch yourself, counselor.
KAFFEE:
Did you report Private Barnes to your superiors?
KENDRICK:
I remember thinking very highly of Private Barnes, and not wanting to see his record tarnished by a formal charge.
KAFFEE:
You preferred it to be handled within the unit.
KENDRICK:
I most certainly did.
