Alvin York: The Bible says to turn the other cheek sir.
Captain Danforth: Yes, if someone strikes you, you might decide it's right to turn away. But what if a man hits your wife, your children. Should you turn away then?
Alvin York: I don't know that I could sir.
Captain Danforth: I don't believe that you should.
Alvin York: I don't know how to believe both ways, Capn. Killing is killing.
Captain Danforth: And protecting is protecting. They may sound like conflicting principles but they're not.
