1
Do you have any other questions for me, Counselor?
2
Lieutenant Cathy.
3
Lieutenant, do you have anything further for this witness?
4
Thanks, Danny.
5
I love Washington.
6
Excuse me.
7
I need to dismiss you.
8
I beg your pardon?
9
I'm not through with my examination.
10
Sit down.
11
Colonel.
12
What's that?
13
I'd appreciate if he would dress me as Colonel or Sir.
14
I believe I've earned it.
15
Defense counsel will address the witness as colonel or sir.
16
I don't know what the hell kind of unit you're running here.
17
And the witness will address this court as judge or your honor.
18
I'm quite certain I've earned it.
19
Take your seat, colonel.
20
What do you want to discuss now?
21
My favorite color?
22
Colonel, the 6 a.m flight was the first one off the base?
23
Yes.
24
There wasn't a flight that left seven hours earlier and landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 2 a.m.?
25
Lieutenant, I think we've covered this, haven't we?
26
Your Honor, these are the Tower Chief's logs for both Guantanamo Bay and Andrews Air Force Base.
27
Guantanamo log lists no flight that left at 11 p.m., and the Andrews log lists no flight that landed at 2 a.m.
28
I'd like to admit them as defense exhibits Alfa and Bravo.
29
I don't understand.
30
You're admitting evidence of a flight that never existed.
31
Well, we believe it did, sir.
32
Defense will be calling Airman Cecil O'Malley and Airman Anthony Rodriguez.
33
They were working the ground crew at Andrews at 2 a.m on the 7th.
34
Your Honor, these men weren't on the list.
35
Rebuttal witnesses, Your Honor, are called specifically to refute testimony offered under direct examination.
36
I'll allow the witnesses.
37
This is ridiculous.
38
Colonel, a moment ago, check the tower logs, for Christ's sake.
39
We'll get to the airmen in just a minute, sir.
40
A moment ago, you said that you ordered Lieutenant Kendrick to tell his men that Santiago wasn't to be touched.
41
That's right.
42
And Lieutenant Kendrick was clear on what you wanted?
43
Crystal.
44
Any chance Lieutenant Kendrick ignored the order?
45
Ignored the order?
46
Any chance he forgot about it?
47
No. Any chance Lieutenant Kendrick left your office and said, the old man is wrong?
48
No. When Lieutenant Kendrick spoke to the platoon and ordered them not to touch Santiago, any chance they ignored him?
49
You ever served in an infantry unit, son?
50
No, sir.
51
Ever served in a forward area?
52
No, sir.
53
Ever put your life in another man's hands?
54
asked him to put his life in yours?
55
No, sir.
56
We follow orders, son.
57
We follow orders or people die.
58
It's that simple.
59
Are we clear?
60
Yes, sir.
61
Are we clear?
62
Crystal.
63
Colonel, I have just one more question before I call Airman O'Malley and Airman Rodriguez.
64
if you gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched, and your orders are always followed,
65
then why would Santiago be in danger?
66
Why would it be necessary to transfer him off the base?
67
Santiago was a substandard Marine.
68
He was being transferred...
69
Not what you said.
70
You said he was being transferred because he was in grave danger.
71
That's correct.
72
You said he was in danger.
73
I said grave danger.
74
You said is there any other...
75
I recall what I said.
76
I can have the court reporter read back to you.
77
I know what I said.
78
I don't have to have it read back to me like I'm...
79
Why the two orders?
80
Colonel?
81
Sometimes men take matters into their own hands.
82
No, sir.
83
You made it clear just a moment ago that your men never take matters in their own hands.
84
Your men follow orders or people die.
85
So Santiago shouldn't have been in any danger at all, should he have, Colonel?
86
You snotty little bastard.
87
Your Honor, I'd like to ask for a recess.
88
I'd like an answer to the question, Judge.
89
The court will wait for an answer.
90
If Lieutenant Kendrick gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched, then why did he have to be transferred?
91
Colonel, Lieutenant Kendrick ordered the code red, didn't he?
92
Because that's what you told Lieutenant Kendrick to do.
93
Object!
94
And when it went bad, you cut these guys loose!
95
Your Honor, you had mortgages inside a phone you transported!
96
Your Honor, you doctored the logbook!
97
There it can't be!
98
Consider yourself in contempt!
99
Colonel Joseph, did you order the Code Ray?
100
You don't have to answer that question.
101
I'll answer the question.
102
You want answers?
103
I think I'm entitled to it.
104
You want answers!
105
I want the truth!
106
You can't handle the truth!
107
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.
108
Who's gonna do it?
109
You, you, Lieutenant Weinberg, I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
110
You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines.
111
You have that luxury.
112
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives, and my existence,
113
while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
114
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties.
115
You want me on that wall.
116
You need me on that wall.
117
We use words like honor, code, loyalty.
118
We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something.
119
You use them as a punchline.
120
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises
121
and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
122
I would rather you just said thank you and went on your way.
123
Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post.
124
Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
125
Did you order the code red?
126
I did the job.
127
Did you order the code red?
128
You're goddamn right I did!
129
Please, of course.
130
Please, the court, I suggest the members be dismissed so that we can move to an immediate Article 39A session.
131
The witness has rights.
132
Captain Ross.
133
Jack?
134
The members of the court will retire to an ante room until further instructed.
135
All rise.
136
What the hell is this?
137
Colonel, what's going on?
138
I did my job.
139
I do it again.
140
I'm gonna get on a plane and go on back to my base.
141
You're not going anywhere, Colonel.
142
MPs, guard the colonel.
143
Yes, sir.
144
Captain Ross.
145
What the hell is this?
146
Colonel Jessup, you have the right to remain silent.
147
I'm being charged with a crime?
148
Is that what this is?
149
I'm being charged with a crime?
150
...to consult with a lawyer prior to any further questioning.
151
This is funny.
152
That's what this is.
153
This is...
154
I'm gonna rip the eyes out of your head and piss at your dead skull!
155
You fucked with the wrong Marine!
156
Colonel Jessup, do you understand these rights as I've just read them to you?
157
You fucking people.
158
You have no idea how to defend a nation.
159
All you did was weaken a country today, Caffey.
160
That's all you did.
161
You put people's lives in danger.
162
Sweet dreams, son.
163
Don't call me son.
164
I'm a lawyer and an officer in the United States Navy.
165
And you're under arrest, you son of a bitch.
166
The witness is excused.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

StructuurIn de video
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doetare called · be touched · being transferred
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog teltI've earned · we've covered · I've just read

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 46 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, don't, you're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: inclination /ˌɪn.klɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, incomprehensible /ɪnˌkɑmpɹəˈhɛnsɪb(ə)l/, testimony /ˈtɛstɪmoʊni/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: fathom /ˈfæðəm/, substandard /ˌsʌbˈstændɚd/, backbone /ˈbækˌboʊn/, blanket /ˈblæŋ.kɪt/, tragic /ˈtɹæd͡ʒɪk/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: grotesque /ɡɹoʊˈtɛsk/, logbook /ˈlɑɡ.bʊk/, exhibit /ɪɡˈzɪbɪt/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als dismiss, fathom, grotesque.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
