Jay Karnes: Agent Robert Gale

Quotes 

• [an FBI agent is asking James about his - alleged - time in the war] 

  James Cole : Listen, I really don't want to talk about it.

  Agent Robert Gale : As former G.I.s, we have an obligation to share our stories here.

  James Cole : Listen, ass-hole, I'm just trying to have a drink.

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : [butting in]  There you are, James!

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : [to the agent]  Is my brother troubling you?

  Agent Robert Gale : Not at all. I just wanted to hear about this Seventh he was stationed with, what with him being a war hero and all.

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : [matter-of-factly]  My brother was in the Philippines, in '42.

  Agent Robert Gale : [taken aback]  Bataan?

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : He fought the Japanese for three months straight, before he was taken prisoner and forced to march 60 miles from Mariveles to San Fernando. When he finally escaped, he was shot twice, including... down there. So you will forgive him if he doesn't want to share his stories.

  Agent Robert Gale : I'm sorry, kid. Goddamn Japs. No hard feelings?

  James Cole : No hard feelings.

  [he shakes the man's hand and leaves with Cassie] 

  James Cole : Why did it have to be "down there"?
