:17:01
A fearless soldier is not the same thing
as a heartless killer
:17:05
and if you'd ever been
within 10,000 miles of a combat zone...
:17:07
that's something you'd know.
:17:08
I thought the entire
point of this project
:17:10
was to create
a fearless soldier
:17:12
who would never question
the moral foundation of an order.
:17:15
I'm pretty sure
I heard that somewhere
:17:17
and I think I heard it from you.
:17:19
Well, that's not what I see.
:17:21
I see a little boy who's
never learned to be sad,
:17:23
and I take full
responsibility for that.
:17:27
Don't be fooled by the
"Aw, shucks, General,
:17:30
I'd sure like to
play checkers with you" demeanor.
:17:33
Alfie is a weapon.
:17:35
He is designed to be
a normal human in the normal world...
:17:39
but that's all he is,
a brilliant design.
:17:42
There is no more heart and soul
inside of him
:17:45
than there is in a Patriot missile.
:17:48
I'm pulling the plug
on this project.
:17:51
You don't have the authority
to do that, General.
:17:54
I take my directives
from the Chairman
:17:56
of the Armed Services
Committee, not you.
:18:02
Daddy's roommate at Harvard?
:18:05
Princeton, actually.
:18:10
Well, then I'll call my roommate
from West Point.
:18:13
He's military affairs
editor for the "Post".
:18:17
And I'll make sure your father
knows he has you to thank
:18:19
for the Pentagon review
of all defense contracts
:18:21
currently held
by Oslett Technologies.
:18:42
Big world, Alfie.
Bigger than anybody told you.
:18:46
It's filled with
a lot of bad people.
:18:49
A lot of good people, too.
