The Wind and the Lion/Awesome


  • When U.S. Marines storm the Bashaw's palace. The Bashaw himself gets some credit for the cool way he takes this, but the best is the Marine captain leveling his sword at the Bashaw's face, introducing himself, and adding:

Captain Jerome: And you, sir, are my prisoner.
Bashaw: You are a very dangerous man, Captain Jerome ... and your President Roosevelt is a madman.
Captain Jerome: (with a huge grin) Yes, sir! (Snaps a salute with his sword, and then sheathes it.)
