Ben Gazzara as Cadet Sgt. Jocko de Paris The Strange One (1957) dir. Jack Garfein
"Where are you taking me, fellas? You're just trying to scare me, is that it? Why, you... you wouldn't do anything to me, would you, fellas...? You wouldn't beat up a helpless man? I can't believe college cadets would do a thing like that. You wouldn't dare. I see through a bunch of peasants like you. You're just trying to make me crawl, is that it? That's it, isn't it? You want to make me crawl, huh? Listen to me... You're a bunch of stupid jerks! You're nothing. You're nothing! You're nothing!! [Jocko spits multiple times at Cadet Col. Laurie Corger, Corger quickly leans over Jocko and punches him in the gut as the other cadets pull Corger back] All right. All right. All right. All right. You can't do anything to me anyhow. Nothing. You'll find out the man you're dealing with is a man named Jocko de Paris. You'll find out that my name is not Charles L. Chickenfeathers, my name is Jocko de Paris. That's right. And that name means guts, and brains, and willpower! I'LL LAUGH AT WHAT YOU DO TO ME! HA!!"
