Quote from Hal in Pearl Harbor

Hal: Wow! Look at it go, huh? They may have been responsible for one of the most devastating attacks in American history, but by God, they make good toy. [chuckles] Is that what I think it is?
Dewey: Dad, it's not really-
Hal: I'm just gonna take a little peek. "My Dad, My Hero." [mouths as he reads]
Dewey: I might have jazzed it up a little.
Hal: Dewey, everything in this report is just made up. Every word of it. I- I never did any of this stuff.
Dewey: Are you sure? I could've sworn Mom said something about you giving your parachute to an orphan in midair.
Hal: [rips up paper] You are not going to turn in a paper full of lies.
Dewey: But, Dad, it's due on Tuesday!
Hal: You're just gonna have to find another way. Let me explain something about heroism, son. There are all kinds of bravery in the world. [Hal realizes the button to turn off the spinning plane is underneath the path of the plane] All kinds. You don't have to be a Special Forces Ranger or fight crime in a cape to be a hero. [Hal struggles to press the button] There's the unsung bravery of the common man. Normal people who prove their courage every day, by standing up for their families or being decent to other people and... [groans] Is it bleeding?
