You Can’t Handle This Line
Colonel Jessep said the iconic line below in the movie “A Few Good Men.” Daniel Kaffee, a US military lawyer, defends two marines. The Marines are charged with the murder of a fellow marine at Guantanamo Bay Naval base in Cuba. The film is an American legal drama based on Aaron Sorkin’s 1989 play.
So, how did the line “you can’t handle the truth” happen? Here is an excerpt of the conversation:
LT Kaffee: Colonel Jessep, did you order the code red?
Judge Randolf: You don’t have to answer that question.
Col. Jessep: I’ll answer the questions. Do you want answers?
LT Kaffee: I think I’m entitled to them.
Col. Jessep: You want answers?
LT: I want the truth!
Col. Jessep: You can’t handle the truth!
