Character: Senator Lillian DeHaven

I wanted to have the right choice.
- As is usually done. In fact, the choices you make not you and not me.
Americans don't want that fate for their daughters and young mothers. You don't know?
- I know, honey. Roper, Harris, Gallup - all questions give a definite answer.
- What do you mean? What a woman's life is more valuable than a man's life? The woman's death more tragic than the death of the man?
- No politician can prevent women returning home in a plastic bag, I least. Yes, I would not come, of course.
- Then why the hell you dragged me into this farce?
- Honestly? I didn't expect that you have all that great work. Thought a couple of weeks you will strike out. And to us honor and glory.

I'll give you a point for style, zero for impertinence.

- You have young man?
- Excuse me?
- Well, at home. The groom. A beloved man. In General, any solvent straight.

You see, we in the United States a quarter of all military positions closed to women. You need to reverse this situation. Some argue that women are not meant for this - "they are physically weaker." Did you have to be strong to pull the trigger?

- Take, for example, the report of the Lark...
- Madam President, this document is for internal use of the Navy.
- ... Namely, the analysis of the crash of f-14 in Coronado last year.
- Yes, but, among other things, the pilot was a woman!
- And You, as far as I know, was one of the authors of the report.
'I am not prepared to discuss it in detail.
- As soon as that you are fighting for the seat of Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Hayes, I guess you have to be ready for anything. Especially if you're waiting for me to approve this report. I was shocked at a spirit of ill will that pervades your report and inappropriate remarks to her colleagues on the behavior of the women in the home. There are even references to her sex life a week before the incident, and it does not relevant information! In all my seven years of work in this Committee I have never met with a similar attitude to the erring pilot. Never.

- Of course, women have always played an important role in the growth of our combat units. Over the past few years we have achieved considerable success in protecting the interests of women serving in the Navy. Moreover, we organized a course of psychological training of male recruits, which is evidence of even more progress...
- Excuse me, Mr. Hayes, your logic goes that if a cannibal uses a knife and fork, this is also progress?
- If You let me finish, Madam, your questions...
You see, I am no longer young, and I don't have much time, so I'm sorry for interrupting you.
