It follows on from the (present) end of the first Grenlee and Forres scene. That now goes from
FORRES | May I never leave this spot. |
GRENLEE | That can be arranged, Section Leader. |
FORRES | Major Grenlee? |
GRENLEE | Mmm? |
FORRES | What's the President like? |
GRENLEE | Her own way mostly, why? |
FORRES | No I mean what's she like as a person? |
GRENLEE | She isn't a person. She's a president. |
FORRES | And a woman. |
GRENLEE | Idle speculation section leader. |
FORRES | I wonder what makes her so special though? When you think about it there's thousands of men ready to die for her. |
GRENLEE | Every man needs something to believe in Forres. There are no exceptions to that. It's a universal rule. |
FORRES | If you say so, sir. |
GRENLEE | I do say so. Just be grateful you joined the service and you don't have to worry about what to believe in. It's all laid out for you. |
FORRES | Oh I am grateful, sir. |
GRENLEE | I mean it. Some men have to find their own faith. |
FORRES | Tough. |
GRENLEE | It can be section leader. There's only one thing more dangerous than a man looking for something to believe in. And that's a man who thinks he's found something. |
