Reply to comment by Decabet in TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma

I can’t imagine Sorkin was too stoked about the most memorable line in the movie not being in the script either.

I’m sure he’s ok. And the most memorable line was clearly “…You? You Lt. Weinberg?”
