"Where are you from Willard ?"
WILLARD
"I'm from Ohio, sir."
KURTZ
"Were you born there ?"
WILLARD
"Yes, sir."
KURTZ
"Whereabouts ?"
WILLARD
"Toledo, sir."
KURTZ
"How far were you from the river ?"
WILLARD
"The Ohio river, sir ? About 200 miles."
KURTZ
"I went down that river when I was a kid. There's a place
in the river.. I can't remember... Must have been a gardenia
plantation at one time. All wild and overgrown now, but about
five miles you'd think that heaven just fell on the earth in the
form of gardenias...
Have you ever considered any real freedoms ? Freedoms -
from the opinions of others... Even the opinions of yourself.
They say why..., Willard, why they wanted to terminate my
command ?"
WILLARD
"I was sent on a classified mission, sir."
KURTZ
"It appears.. that its no longer classified, is it? What did they
tell you ?"
WILLARD
" They told me that you had gone totally insane and that your
methods were unsound."
KURTZ
" Are my methods unsound?"
WILLARD
" I don't see any method at all, sir."
KURTZ
" I expected someone like you. What did you expect?"
KURTZ
" Are you an assassin?"
WILLARD
" I'm a soldier."
KURTZ
" You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks
to collect a bill."
