* The final salute between Kaffee and Dawson.
* The FridgeBrilliance moment when you consider how Col. Jessep's character was painted in the whole film. In every scene he was depicted as enjoying being the centre of attention, almost monologuing theatrically in a very slow tone of speaking: the scene in his office (what with sarcastically calling his man to "get the President on the phone"), at the lunch (he was shown telling a story to the whole bunch, and the "you have to ask me nicely" incident), and in the court. In this light the brilliance of Kaffee's line of questioning became clear, as he was essentially denying Jessep to gain a momentum in their exchange, resulting in the latter unnecessarily insisting in his complete authority, ultimately spelling his doom. Especially apparent in:
--> '''Col. Jessep:''' "I know what I said. I don't have to have it read back to me like—"
--> '''Lt. Kaffee:''' "*ignores* Why the two orders? Colonel?"
* Kaffee, after charging Jessep, is nearly attacked by the enraged colonel who tells him he weakened a nation. Kaffee, not remotely affected by Jessep's death threats, merely says "You're under arrest, you son of a bitch."
* Weinburg's tirade on why he hates the defendants, and why he thinks they deserve life in jail:
--> '''Lt. Weinburg:''' "They beat up on a weakling -- that's all they did! The rest is just smoke-filled coffee-house crap! ''They tortured and tormented a weaker kid!'' They didn't like him, so they killed him! And why? Because he couldn't ''run'' very fast!"

to:

* The final salute between Kaffee and Dawson, who throughout the movie treated Kaffee with disrespect because of his belief that Kaffee was a poor officer who just wanted to get rid of Dawson in the quickest way possible.
--> '''Kaffee:''' You don't need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor.
--> '''Dawson:''' Ten-hut! [salutes] There's an officer on the deck.
* The FridgeBrilliance moment when you consider how Col. Jessup's character was painted in the whole film. In every scene he was depicted as enjoying being the centre of attention, almost monologuing theatrically in a very slow tone of speaking: the scene in his office (what with sarcastically calling his man to "get the President on the phone"), at the lunch (he was shown telling a story to the whole bunch, and the "you have to ask me nicely" incident), and in the court. In this light the brilliance of Kaffee's line of questioning became clear, as he was essentially denying Jessup to gain a momentum in their exchange, resulting in the latter unnecessarily insisting in his complete authority, ultimately spelling his doom. Especially apparent in:
--> '''Jessup:''' "I know what I said. I don't have to have it read back to me like—"
--> '''Kaffee:''' "*ignores* Why the two orders? Colonel?"
* Kaffee, after getting Jessup to confess in open court, is nearly attacked by the enraged colonel who calls him "son" and tells him he weakened a nation.  Kaffee, not remotely affected by Jessup's death threats, delivers a brutal ShutUpHannibal.
--> '''Kaffee:''' Don't call me "son". I'm a lawyer, and an officer in the US Navy. And you're under arrest, you son of a bitch.
* Lieutenant Weinburg's tirade on why he hates the defendants, and why he thinks they deserve life in jail:
--> '''Weinburg:''' "They beat up on a weakling -- that's all they did! The rest is just smoke-filled coffee-house crap! ''They tortured and tormented a weaker kid!'' They didn't like him, so they killed him! And why? Because he couldn't ''run'' very fast!"
