Sal Nealon
- Sal Nealon: Every generation has their war. Men make the wars and wars make the men. It never ends!
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Maybe one day we'll try something different.
- Sal Nealon: I'm sorry, Doc. You know me, I-I don't mean nothin'.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: We pay for what we say, Salvatore.
- Sal Nealon: Yeah? Well, put it on my tab.
- Sal Nealon: Hey, at least we're not drug addicts.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Thank... God. Not anymore.
- Sal Nealon: "Not anymore." We never were.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: We took the shit, Sal.
- Sal Nealon: Yeah. 'Cause we needed the shit.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: No. We needed it, the corps would've issued it to us.
- Sal Nealon: Yeah. In a way, they did.
- Larry 'Doc' Shepherd: That shit was meant for pain. All drugs are.
- Sal Nealon: So? What's wrong with taking it, then?
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Morphine - is - addictive.
- Sal Nealon: Yeah, so is pain.
- Larry 'Doc' Shepherd: We weren't the ones who were in pain, though.
- Sal Nealon: The fuck we weren't.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Different kind of pain.
- Sal Nealon: Pain is pain.
- Larry 'Doc' Shepherd: You know what amazes me about you?
- Sal Nealon: Could be anything. I'm a pretty amazing guy.
- Sal Nealon: Man, I would've loved to run into you in the field in my younger days.
- Colonel Wilits: You really think so?
- Sal Nealon: Oh, yeah. 'Cause one of us would have been fragged. And the other would've gone to the brig.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: I thought we were going to a funeral?
- Sal Nealon: We are going to a funeral. Just looks like it's going to take a little longer to get there.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: I will dwell in the house of Lord.
- Sal Nealon: What are you doing with the bouncing? What is that?
- Reverend Richard Mueller: I'm speaking a psalm.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: A psalm? Oh.
- [whispering to the rent-a-car lady]
- Reverend Richard Mueller: As in, a psalm-a Bin Laden.
- Sal Nealon: Man, I never heard anyone talk to the colonel like that. Colonels don't scare me. Never have, never will.
- DAFB Guard: You a marine?
- [seeing his USMC tattoo]
- DAFB Guard: Yeah, I thought so.
- Sal Nealon: I got more time in the chow line than you got in the corps.
- Sal Nealon: [about his dead son] We're taking him with us today.
- Colonel Wilits: With all due respect, sir, you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.
- Sal Nealon: Hey. Colonel. Did you look at these faces? They've already been spited, so why should we give a fuck about your opinions? - With all due respect.
- [first lines]
- Sal Nealon: If you could just see yourself right now. You look like you just had a lobotomy. What's wrong with you?
- O'Toole: [sitting on his barstool] This is reality.
- Sal Nealon: Reality? My ass. It's all made-up. Let me ask you this, huh, how many times on this show have you seen the cops arrest, you know, killers and-and rapists or something like that? How many times did they slap the cuffs on some crooked CEO fuck?
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Don't be ridiculous.
- Sal Nealon: Why not? You know a better way to be? You wish you could be ridiculous, but it's too late now.
- Sal Nealon: [back in New York city] Take that in. Take a deep breath. What, you do it? What do you smell? There's one distinct smell. What is it? Urine. I love it. It's like the official scent of the city.
- Sal Nealon: Guys like us, we take all that shit till it's a disaster. And then we're cool. The worst has happened, like we knew it would.
- DAFB Guard: I'd rather be fighting them over there than in our own backyard.
- Sal Nealon: Sound familiar?
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Oh, yeah. See, we fought the commies in 'Nam so we wouldn't have to fight 'em on the beaches of Malibu.
- DAFB Guard: Guess it worked.
- Sal Nealon: I ask you, you see a man in this uniform? Huh? Could you resist all this? Huh? I, um...
- Girl at Wake: No, I - I don't think I could.
- Sal Nealon: Mm-hmm. It's the uniform, or the man in the uniform?
- Girl at Wake: It's a killer combination.
- Sal Nealon: It's the combination. Isn't it?
- Girl at Wake: Yeah, it's the combination. Yeah. Kind of seductive.
- Sal Nealon: Thank you. Yeah. You are a very perceptive young lady.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: I can promise you, Doc, you will meet your wife and son again, in a better place.
- Sal Nealon: Oh, come on.
- Reverend Richard Mueller: And all of this will seem like a momentary separation.
- Sal Nealon: Oh, come on. What better place are they going to, huh? Las Vegas? Miami Beach?
- Reverend Richard Mueller: Think about it, Sal. What's more important?
- Sal Nealon: I don't know. But it's never the lie.
