Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : I just got off the phone with the Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney's Office. Care to venture a guess about who we talked about?
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : Me, sir?
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : You, sir. He informed me the Commonwealth of Virginia is charging you with assault.
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : So I've heard, sir.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : So you've heard? Were you ever going to tell me?
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : I didn't want to burden you with my personal problems, General.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : A JAG officer brawling in public is not a "personal problem", Commander Roberts. When he's in uniform under my command, it's my problem. Did you know about this?
Cmdr. Sturgis Turner : No, sir.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : Did you attack this civilian?
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : Yes and no, sir. Uh, he attacked my brother with a shoe, and I was trying...
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : A-a shoe?
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : Yes, sir, a-a-a heavy shoe: a wing-tipped Oxford.

Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : So you hit a wing-tip wielding history teacher because he insulted the Navy?
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : Well, not just the Navy, sir. The Marine Corps, as well.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : Are you trying to manipulate me, Commander?
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : No, sir.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : If you're convicted, your naval career is over. You know that.
Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts : I expect to be acquitted, sir.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : [to Sturgis] You're a member of the Virginia Bar, Commander. You'll volunteer as defense counsel.
Cmdr. Sturgis Turner : Aye aye, sir.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : Make this go away.
Cmdr. Sturgis Turner : Do my best, sir.
Maj. Gen. Gordon 'Biff' Cresswell : After the civilians are done with you, Commander Roberts, it'll be my turn.
