Philip Akin: Col. John 'Slim' Griffin

Quotes 

• Col. Paul 'Crowbar' Corbin : I think it takes a lot of courage to stick to your ideals. Especially when it would be easier not to.

  Col. James 'Dash' Derringer : [DELETED LINE]  Yeah, right... I've known plenty of idealists in my day. None of them acted like stubborn, self-righteous doormats... as opposed to *some other folks around here*.

  Col. Paul 'Crowbar' Corbin : [DELETED LINE]  Meaning...?

  Col. James 'Dash' Derringer : [DELETED LINE]  Meaning that sticking to your ideals shouldn't mean bending over and taking it you-know-where. Meaning there's a fine line between a lot of courage, and an utter lack of self-respect. Or what was it Theodore Roosevelt once said? "Be wary of ideals that force you to compromise your dignity... or that won't let you do what it takes to protect your life and freedom, and/or that of your neighbors."

  Col. John 'Slim' Griffin : [DELETED LINE]  That was Malcolm X, not Teddy Roosevelt. But you both have good points.

• Col. James 'Dash' Derringer : Slim will go to Beachhead, and Crowbar can take Travers to Sol City. And we'll see who takes the bait.

  Col. John 'Slim' Griffin : And where will you be?

  Col. James 'Dash' Derringer : Where I always am: where the action is.
