[edit] Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller
- [to Lawrie Dayne] At least tell me how it happened. How does this happ... how does someone like you write something that's not true? Tell me.
[edit] Freddy
- [to Miller] It is not for you to decide what happens here.
[edit] General Al Rawi
- Your government wanted to hear the lie Mr. Miller... they wanted Saddam out and they did exactly what they had to do... this is why you are here...
[edit] Martin Brown
- [to Poundstone] You cannot just hand this country over to an exile no one's ever heard of, and a bunch of interns from Washington.
[edit] Dialogue
- Miller: What happened to your leg?
- Freddy: My leg is in Iran. Since 1987. Me too, I fight for my country.
- Miller: Freddy listen, you give me your information, I'm going to get you a reward for what you did today.
- Freddy: Reward... You think I do this for money? You think I don't care about my country? I see what's happening. You don't think I see what's happening? And all the people now, they have no water, they have no electricity - you think I do this for reward? You don't think I do this for me? For my future. For my country. For all these things? Whatever you want here, I want more than you want. I want to help my country.
- Wilkins: Chief, our mission is here.
- Miller: You want to sit around dig holes all day, or get something done?
- Miller: I thought we were all on the same side?
- Martin Brown: Don't be naïve...
- Miller: When you peddled that shit in DC, did they know it was a lie? Or did they just never bother to ask?
- Clark Poundstone: Okay, okay. Come on, none of this matters anymore. WMD? This doesn't matter.
- Miller: [grabs Poundstone angrily and forcefully] What the fuck you talking about? Of course it fucking matters! The reasons we go to war always matter! It's all that matters! It fucking matters!
