8. Picking Nits.

• Did Santiago deserve to die?
• Bill: Maybe kind of.  Amanda: doesn't deserve to die. 
• Was it insane to put Jessup on the stand?
• Everyone: Yes.
• Was Jo Galloway a terrible laywer?
• Amanda: Reasons why she is good: Knows what a Code Red is, she's a "helluva investigators" according to her superiors, does extensive research, believes in due process, gets Nicholson to admit off the record that he does not believe in Code Reds and he can be rattled, she is trusted, she is NOT best friends with the prosecution, she has the idea to put Jessup on the stand (which works), and she is not found to be in contempt in court.  
• Chris: Her jeans are back in style, she has a great taste in bar-grills, and her hair is amazing.  
• Bill making the case against her: I blame her for Downey.  She doesn't know that Downey wasn't in the room?  Bill thinks she was bad.
• Amanda claims Demi Moore was miscast (gave a bad performance) and Julia Roberts should have been cast. 
• Chris brings up Jodi Foster to play Jo Galloway and Bill hates it.

9. Greatest Exchange

• Harold you don't need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor.  Ten hut theres an officer on deck.
• "Did you order the Code Red?"  "You're Goddam right I did."
