The scene in Three Kings is a post-Desert Storm battle among soldiers.
George Clooney and Spike Jonez are taking cover from the hail of gunfire. Spike's character is afraid of going out and shooting back and the following ensues:
Archie Gates (G.Clooney): You're scared, right?
Conrad Vig (Spike): Maybe.
Archie Gates: The way it works is, you do the thing you're scared shitless of, and you get the courage AFTER you do it, not before you do it.
Conrad Vig: That's a dumbass way to work. It should be the other way around.
Archie Gates: I know. That's the way it works.
- I like this one when talking to 25-39 year old anxious males...Probably not useful for everyone, but I dig it.
