Garp: I joined the Marines over 50 years ago. A green recruit like yourself. I came in with simple ideals, but I had to adapt, because the world is not a simple place. The same set of laws do not apply to everyone.
Koby: But that's not fair.
Garp: No, it's not. But you have to decide if you can live with that. I could've been fleet admiral by now, but I always turned down the promotion. Do you know why? Because I'd have to do things their way. I'd lose my freedom. Do you understand?
Koby: Yes, sir.
Garp: The world is not fair. But the Marines are all that are standing between order and anarchy. So, let me ask you... can you live with that?
Koby: I think so.
