    And now the actual line.



    Notice how your version changes the dynamics of the entire scene.
    Brody isn't "thinking.His reaction is one of shock,not fear as he finally begins to realize the true magnitude of the situation that he's facing.

    Also by delivering the line as a definitive, it doesn't present any wishy-washiness which is important.

    Although Quint,Brody and Hooper might be there for various reasons,one thing they share in common is all are unwavering in their actions which is why out of all the characters they are the three on that boat and also why they choose to persist even when things begin to go bad.

    "Hey soldier ....do you know who is in command here?" - Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen)

    (I was in a state somewhat like "Lance" the first time I watched it... since then it has been my all time quote / movie scene with not only the question asked, but the soldiers "Roach"' facial expressions when he answers.)

    The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best.

    "Those two are... waiting for someone with a briefcase on the street side. That one, sizing up loaded victims. They are there, but you can't see them. That's what it's all about. They're there, but they aren't. So mind your briefcase, your case, your door... your window, your car, your savings. Mind your ass. Because they're there and they'll always be. Thieves. No... that's what everybody calls them. They are spitters, breakers, skin workers, blind fronts, hoisters, hooks, stalls, petermans, night raiders, spitters, mustard chuckers, fences, operators, swindlers. I'm hungry. Let's go to my office to get a meal." -- Marcos (Ricardo Darín) in Nueve reinas
