Spc. Sgt. Hawkins
- Sgt. Holt: How'd you guys get in here?
- Specialist Hawkins: We're rats. Tunnel rats.
- Cpl. Butler: Tunnel rats? Christ, now we're running a fucking zoo around here!
- [enraged, Hawkins punches Butler]
- Sgt. Holt: That's enough!
- Cpl. Butler: [to Hawkins] Payback's a bitch, rat man!
- Sgt. Holt: Put a lid on it, Butler!
- Specialist Hawkins: Hey, why don't you guys go jerk off somewhere else? In five minutes, these tunnels are gonna be cramming with gooks and I don't plan on being their main course!
- Sgt. Holt: [after their fistfight] All right, you gonna level with me and tell me what's going on, or are we gonna dance again?
- Specialist Hawkins: All right! I'll level with you. But first... let me ask you something. How long have you been here in country?
- Sgt. Holt: 18 months.
- Specialist Hawkins: And in those 18 months, how many times have you and your men taken a hill, village, or piece of ground only to return it back to the enemy days later?
- Sgt. Holt: So?
- Specialist Hawkins: Don't you get it? They're not gonna let us win. Because if we win, the war stops and if the war stops, the money stops.
- [points his .45 caliber pistol at Hawkins]
- Sgt. Holt: Let's get something straight here! I'm the sergeant... which puts me in command. You got a problem with that?
- Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: No.
- Sgt. Holt: [to Jenson] Do you?
- [Jenson shakes his head meaning 'no']
- Sgt. Holt: [lowers his gun] Now that we have a mutual understanding. We need to get out of here. We need food, we need water, and we need ammunition.
- Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: I know where you can get some.
- Sgt. Holt: How far?
- Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: Three... four miles at the most. But we gotta travel underground. It's too damn hot upstairs.
- Cpl. Butler: Oh, that's great! That's just fucking great!
- Sgt. Holt: [to Hawkins] Why should I trust you?
- Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: Because you don't have a choice.
- Sgt. Holt: Very well. Lead the way rat man.
