"Sir?"
"Yes?"
"I wish to express my appreciation for your excellent coaching."
"Clearly, you're learning, Sergeant. And your next task? Time you started showing some initiative."
"I believe you have frequently commented on my smart mouth, sir. I have other oral skills I could demonstrate."
"Those skills are quite satisfactory, Sergeant. I'd like you to try something different. Something new."

“The prudent man should anticipate the consequences of disobedience.”
“Is that Nietzsche, sir?”
“Nope. Morse.”
