Russell Price
- Russell Price: [Russell's been thrown in a jail cell in Managua; there's another prisoner in the cell] You're a priest, huh? A Padre? What are you doing here?
- Prison Priest: The government accused me of knowing Rafael.
- Russell Price: Government's always wrong, huh?
- Prison Priest: [a bit suspicious] Who are you?
- Russell Price: Periodista... I'd like to find Rafael myself.
- Prison Priest: Whose side are you on?
- Russell Price: I don't take sides. I take pictures.
- Prison Priest: No sides?
- Prison Priest: [Russell shakes his head; the priest gives him a long look] Go home.
- Claire: You're going to love this war...
- Russell Price: Hmmm.
- Claire: Good guys, bad guys and cheap shrimp.
- Claire: Did you dream about Miss Panama last night?
- Russell Price: No, I dreamed about you.
- Claire: Have a good time?
- Russell Price: Yeah, and you did too!
- Russell Price: Pardon my French, but who's fucking side are you on?
- Marcel Jazy: I work for everyone.
- Russell Price: That's a great job!
- Oates: How d'ya like Nicaragua?
- Russell Price: It's beautiful.
- Oates: Yeah, it's a shitload of Greasers though, you know.
- Russell Price: [In Spanish] Do you know who controls this area?
- Sandinista with radio: [In Spanish] Who knows?
- Russell Price: [At the rebels victory parade] What the hell are you doin' here?
- Oates: It's a free country. I mean... it's free now anyway.
- Oates: [Drinking from a cup] Nica libre - rum and coke and no ice. You want some?
- Oates: [Price ignores him and Oates looks mildly concerned] You weren't gonna turn me in, are you?
- Oates: [Price walks away without a word and Oates smiles and shouts] See ya in Thailand!
- Interrogating Officer: [releasing Russell from jail] Mr. Price... It was all a misunderstanding. Your camera:
- Interrogating Officer: [intentionally drops the camera on the floor, breaking it] I'm sorry.
- Russell Price: [Russell checks inside his bag] Passport...
- Interrogating Officer: Before you go, there are some papers you will sign.
- Russell Price: What papers?
- Interrogating Officer: Your "visitation papers," Mr. Price. You were not arrested, you just came to visit. In case your embassy asks. You want your passport back, yes?
- Hub Kittle: Listen, Russell, let's grow up. It's very easy to fall in love with the underdog, but there's an upside and a downside to this thing. I just want to remind you, all this stuff about a "revolution of poets" is crap.
- Russell Price: It's great P.R., though, isn't it, Hub? So what's the upside?
- Hub Kittle: Simple. And it could happen. Somoza destroys the terrorist insurgents, rebuilds the country, shit-cans the purveyors of excess, stabilizes the Cordoba, and is kindly beloved as the savior of Nicaragua. "Our" pal. Gotta' smoke?
- Russell Price: [hands him a cigarette] What's the downside?
- Hub Kittle: Commies take over the world.
- Claire: [He and Claire are at a camp where Rafael is supposedly holed up] What is it?
- Russell Price: Rafael is dead. I can smell it.
