Glenn Morshower: General Jacobs

Quotes 

• Ian Quinn : This is our strategy consultant, John Garrett.

  General Jacobs : I want full disclosure right now, or our boys will come in and shut you down. Why do I hear gunfire?

  John Garrett : You hear the dying breath of an old world, general. And a new world is coming. I've tasted it on my tongue.

  General Jacobs : This is your strategy consultant?

  Ian Quinn : He's... part-time.

  John Garrett : New strategy - you shut your mouth and give us everything we want.

  General Jacobs : You threaten a United States general, and there are consequences.

  John Garrett : Oh, you feel powerful now, don't you? But you're all just slaves who will serve our future.

  General Jacobs : Listen, you crazy son of a bitch...

  Ian Quinn : Gentlemen, perhaps a small demonstration will...

  John Garrett : Yes. Oh, yes. A demonstration.

  [punches in General Jacob's stomach] 

  John Garrett : I've seen the future. I've glimpsed it through the eyes of every creature - dead, living, and yet to be. This is the beginning.

  Grant Ward : The beginning of what, John?

  John Garrett : The end.
