Quotes17

  • Riley Hale: You're out of your mind.
  • Vic Deakins: Yeah. Ain't it cool?
  • Riley Hale: I'm serious, Deak, your mind has taken a walk off the map.
  • Vic Deakins: Maybe. But I'm still gonna kick your ass.
  • Riley Hale: You know, these exercises are fantastic. When the day comes that we have to go to war against Utah, we're really gonna kick ass, y'know?
  • Giles Prentice: Just for the record, I'm not entirely a civilian. I was actually a lieutenant in the ROTC at Yale.
  • Riley Hale: Well, good for you, Lieutenant.
  • Vic Deakins: You know, Hale, I considered bringing you in on this. You know why I didn't?
  • Riley Hale: 'Cause I would have said "no"?
  • Vic Deakins: Nah, if you had said no, I'd have just killed you. I was afraid you were gonna say yes. 'Cause you don't have the balls to go through with something like this, we both know that.
  • Terry Carmichael: Just put it down, and I won't have to kill you.
  • Riley Hale: This isn't a standoff. I've got the gun.
  • Terry Carmichael: I never keep it loaded.
  • [Hale is momentarily distacted; Terry acquires the gun and points it at him]
  • Riley Hale: Thought you said it wasn't loaded?
  • Terry Carmichael: [fires a shot into the air] I LIED!
  • Riley Hale: There's no difference between you and a guy who shoots up a schoolyard. You've both got a-a head full of bad wiring.
  • Vic Deakins: What was that?
  • Riley Hale: You're fucked in the head, Deak.
  • Vic Deakins: [Fires wildly at him] Hah.
  • Riley Hale: I pissed him off.
  • Vic Deakins: Hale. Pick up. Pick up!
  • [wheedling]
  • Vic Deakins: C'mon buddy, pick up the 'phone.
  • Riley Hale: "Buddy," huh? Son of a bitch, you tried to kill me. The friendship is over.
  • Vic Deakins: Well that doesn't mean I don't like you. Hell, I'm impressed.
  • Riley Hale: [crawling through a small tunnel] This seems like it doesn't go anywhere
  • [drops into river below]
  • Major Vic Deakins: Nah, flying doesn't mean what it used to mean to me.
  • Capt. Riley Hale: Not the flying - carrying the nukes. I know you. You love having the power of God at your fingertips. You get off on it.
  • Riley Hale: We were only sparring, buddy.
  • Vic Deakins: Thinking like that is exactly why you lost.
  • [Hale has a shotgun on Deakins, but Deakins is holding a remote for the bomb]
  • Riley Hale: You lose.
  • Vic Deakins: I've still got my finger on the trigger. That's the *remote* trigger. See if I push this button here
  • [DETONATE]
  • Vic Deakins: *You lose!* But if I push this button here,
  • [CANCEL]
  • Vic Deakins: the weapon is disarmed.
  • Riley Hale: [cocks the shotgun] So why don't you disarm it then?
  • Vic Deakins: I'm not in the mood.
  • Terry: [running after Riley even though he told her to go to a phone for help] Oh, this is a bad idea.
  • [jumps on the roof of the truck with Hale]
  • Terry: Hi.
  • Riley Hale: [Bemused] Hi.
  • Riley Hale: No, you don't understand. You see, it really *is* yours. I took it outta your wallet while you were in the shower.
  • Riley Hale: Endangered dirt. That's a new one.
  • Terry Carmichael: [after Hale has shot a bad guy from between Terry's legs] Wow.
  • Riley Hale: That was a first for me, too.
  • [last lines]
  • Terry: You know you're still under arrest, Captain.
  • Riley Hale: [holding Terry's hand] Oh, yeah? Well, I guess you better take me in.
  • Riley Hale: [points a gun at Baker] You can get out now.
  • Baker: [points his gun at Terry] I don't know, looks like we got ourselves a stand-off.
  • Riley Hale: [Hale lowers his gun and shoots Baker in the leg. Baker screams and loses control of his gun]
  • [ramming Baker's head into the steering wheel]
  • Riley Hale: NO-WE-DON'T!
  • [Throws Baker out of the Humvee]
