Danny Glover Got Fired

Danny was fired from A Few Good Men

D. Glover: You want answers?

T. Cruise: I think I’m entitled.

D. Glover: You want answers?

T. Cruise: I want the truth!

D. Glover: You can’t handle the truth, Riggs!!!

R: Reiner: CUT!  I knew that was coming.  Son of a bitch, man.

D. Glover: What?

R. Reiner: You did it again, Danny.  Again.  Again!

D. Glover: Settle down, Robby.  I got this.  I just got distracted.  Is that Kevin Bacon sitting over there?

R. Reiner: Yes.  We’ve been shooting in this courtroom for 7 weeks now, Danny.  He’s been there the whole time.

D. Glover:  No shit.  Really?!?!

R. Reiner:  Can we get started again here, Danny?

T. Cruise: Today, Glover.

R. Reiner: Let’s move ahead, Danny…and ACTION!

[pauses]

D. Glover: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Riggs?

R. Reiner: CUT.  Shit.  Shit.  Shit.

D. Glover:  I’m sorry, man.  I just can’t stop looking at him.

R. Reiner: You should be looking at Tommy.

D. Glover:  Okay, okay.  Let’s go.  I’m good.  DG is ready.

R. Reiner: …and ACTION!

D. Glover:  You’re Goddamned right I did, Riiiggggs!!!!!!!

T. Cruise: Really?

R. Reiner: CUT!  Danny.  What’s going on?  You just skipped through the whole monologue.

D. Glover:  I just couldn’t help myself, R&R.  That’s such a wicked line!

A. Sorkin: Thanks, Danny.

R. Reiner:  But that’s not the line.

D. Glover: I did ‘Missing in America’ with Linda Hamilton.  Linda Hamilton was in ‘The Terminator’ with Bill Paxton.  Bill Paxton was in ‘Apollo 13’ with Kevin Bacon!  (Pumping fist)  Riggs!

R. Reiner:  You’re substituting “Riggs” for “Yes” now?!?!?  That’s it.
