* Another meta-example in Creator/GeorgeCScott's interpretation; in a genius move he was tricked by Kubrick to deliever one of the largest and funniest hams ever... [[BlatantLies meant for outtakes]], for practice and amusement of the crew. It works perfectly as a {{foil}} to the meek President but also to the crazy but soft-spoken and collected Ripper.
** George C. Scott even admitted was a genius move on Kubrick's part and liked the outcome, though he was still upset at having been tricked and refused to work with him again.

Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed.]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do."]]
