"I make movies that nobody will see. I've made movies that even I have never seen."
— Christopher Walken
MAJOR: Jesus Christ! We came in here completely unchallenged! What if we'd been enemy troops?
EASTLAND: Shit . . . You'd be dead, major!
MAJOR: You boys have your bags packed by 0900. The war's over. We're going home.
SANTOS: Did we win?
GILL: Did you see it?
SANTOS: It's a bamboo dome!
EASTLAND: What do you wanna do?
SANTOS: I wanna check it out! But the war's over, it's up to you guys!
GILL: Let's do it!
PVT: It looks empty to me.
SANTOS: Of course it looks empty. We're talking about American POWs here! Do you wanna go through the rest of your life wondering if it was?
SANTOS: Our time has come. This time, the CIA said they would help us!
EL PRESIDENTE: My fellow Colombians . . . Once again our farm figures have far exceeded our expectations . . .
GILL: Couple of cocaine cowboys tried to bust a friend of theirs out of a prisoner caravan. I was riding shotgun. It was like a bad night in Vietnam, man.
CARL: Did you get hit?
GILL: Yeah, I'm fine. I rode up with the van driver. He was showing me pictures of his kids while we were waiting for the prisoners to get dressed. He had two kids, Carl, two beautiful kids.
CARL: And he didn't make it?
GILL: And he didn't make it!
CARL: Shit!
GILL: I don't feel like going home. I didn't want to be alone . . . I figured maybe I could buy you a beer.
CARL: Any time. Any time, I'm here. Day or night. Any time, man.
GILL: They killed Santos, man! They shouldn't have done that, Carl.
CARL: I know.
FRANK BRUCE: 10 million dollars, pay or play. And I don't deliver to any hot LZs.
MCBAIN: Whew. The landing zone's gonna be the best part.
CHRISTINA: The Berlin Wall came down in two weeks. I know it can be done!
GILL: People? Who gives a fuck about people? Especially people like that!
GILL: I hope the real Israelis don't find out about this!
MCBAIN: Red Dog Two, this is lieutenant Robert McBain. What division was your father in, son?
PILOT DALY: 101st airborne, sir.
MCBAIN: 101st, a brave division. We're all that's left of the 143rd ranger battalion. Sure could use some help from the 101st.
COLOMBIAN PILOT: Charlie Seven Zero Four: put the plane down! Do you read me? Charlie Seven Zero Four: put the plane d... AAGH!
MCBAIN: We read you loud and clear.
EL PRESIDENTE: You can not talk to me like that! I control the army!
SIMON ESCOBAR: The last president told me the same thing. I still send him flowers every day. He lives in a big white house - you can't miss it. It's right in the center of the cemetery!
