Scene from the movie The Dirty Dozen: Lee Marvin (Maj. Reisman) Telly Savalas (Maggott)
Maggot : "Vengeance is mine. I will repay, sayeth the Lord." Paul to the Romans, Chapter 12.
Major John Reisman : Exactly. Now, isn't that supposed to mean that we leave punishment of the transgressors to his capable hands?
Maggot : That's right, Major! That's exactly what it means. But it doesn't restrict him to the kind of tools he would use, now does it? And like I told you, Major, I only do what I'm called on to do.
