The scene in "A Man For All Seasons" where Sir Richard Rich has purjured himself by false testimony at St. Thomas More's trial. More says, "Master Rich, you wear a chain of office. What is your new appointment?" Rich replies, "I am appointed Lord Lieutenant for Wales." To which Moor replies, "Lord Lieutenant for Wales? We are told in Scripture 'What profit a man if he gain the whole world but suffer the loss of his immortal soul. The whole world, Master Rich, BUT FOR WALES???!!!???"
Or then theres the scene in "The Blue Max" where Bruno Stahl asks Willi von Klugerman "Just how many of these rules are there in the mess? Willi's response "I don't know, they have never been written down." Slam dunk of the century! (Think about the implications).
And finally the line in an old British movie called "The Guards" about the the soldiers of HM's Brigade of Guards when they are not in red coats and fur hats on ceremonial parade but doing it for real. A Lieutenant of the Scots Guards has been told to attack a fortified position and report when he has secured the objective. He tells his Colour Sergeant what they are up against and asks rhetorically, "My God, we have only fifteen men and a piper!" His sergeant replys full of confidence and mild indignation, "But Sir, he is a VERY GOOD piper!"
