Shooting Dogs (2005)

Dominique Horwitz: Capitaine Charles Delon

Quotes 

• Roland : Capitaine Delon. Capitaine. I have a polite request. It's just from all of us, the people of Kuchekiro and refugees of this school.

  Roland : [takes out a piece of paper and reads from it]  We are all fathers, mothers, sons, daughters. We are all one family now. And that is as one family that we wish to die. Therefore we politely request just before you leave us that your soldiers use their guns to kill us. We do not wish to be killed by machete. The bullets will kill us all quickly. And it will be much less pain.

  Capitaine Charles Delon : I'm sorry I can not agree to your request.

  Roland : Please. If not for us... Please spare the children the pain.

  Capitaine Charles Delon : I am sorry.

  Roland : Please, just the children.

  Capitaine Charles Delon : I can not help you.

• Capitaine Charles Delon : What's going on here is not my choice, okay? Being here and doing nothing is also not my choice. I'm a military commandor with a mandate to observe. I can do no more.

  Rachel : You are the UN, show it.

  Capitaine Charles Delon : But I'm not the Security Council. They make our mandate. Why don't you call New York and get a chance, because, let me tell you, we have tried. And please, let me know how far you get.
