Military Attaché
- Military Attache: Schanberg, you came on a boat you go back on a boat!
- Sydney Schanberg: That won't stop my story!
- Sydney Schanberg: I got a right to go wherever I like in this sad little country. That's their law, that's our law. You impede me, you're breaking the Cooper-Church Amendment!
- Military Attache: Well, up the Cooper-Church Amendment's ass!
- Sydney Schanberg: There's a rumor that the United States Air Force dropped a bomb or several bombs, on the city Neak Luong.
- Military Attache: Come on, Schanberg, that's a rumor. Now, I'm not gonna comment on a rumor.
- Sydney Schanberg: I don't understand you. I just want to know if that's the reason why my airplane was delayed!
- Military Attache: No comment.
- Sydney Schanberg: How many killed?
- [pause]
- Sydney Schanberg: How many wounded?
- [pause]
- Sydney Schanberg: Thank you for your cooperation, Major Reeves. When I scrape this story out, I will no doubt be quoting you in *full*.
- Military Attache: Now, if you can hear me, if you just look across the river you'll see positions we believe to be held by Khmer Rouge infiltrators who moved in over the past few days. But, as you see, the forces of the Cambodian Republican Army are moving in on them. They'll have the K.R. out before you can say "Jack Robinson."
