Eversmann:
Nobody asks to be a hero, it just sometimes turns out that way.

Specialist Mike Kurth:
Don't do it lady!

"Hoot":
When I get home people 'll ask me, "Hey Hoot, why do ya do it man? Why? Just some war junkie?" Ya know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, and that's it. That's all it is.

Struecker:
No one gets left behind, you know that.

Abdullah 'Firimbi' Hassan:
That's right! You Americans don't smoke anymore. You live long, dull and uninteresting lives.

"Hoot":
Y'know what I think? Don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.

Struecker:
It's what you do right now that makes a difference.

Smith:
I'm sorry.

Eversmann:
For what? You saved Twombly, you did it prefect.

Smith:
You okay Twombs?

Twombly:
Yeah, I'm okay, Jamie.

Eversmann:
See, you did what you were trained to do. You should be proud of that, be proud of that.

Smith:
Ev?

Eversmann:
Yeah.

Smith:
Do me a favor, okay? Tell my parents that I fought well today. And tell them that I... that I fought hard.

Eversmann:
You're gonna tell them yourself okay, Jamie?

Smith:
Are... are the humvees here?

Eversmann:
They're coming, Jamie. They're coming. You just gotta hold on for a little longer. Can you do that?

Smith:
I can, I can. It's nothing. It's nothing.

Durant:
Where's the rescue squad?

Shughart:
We're it.

Eversmann:
Remember, we're Rangers not some sorry-ass JROTC. We're Elite. Let's act like it out there. Hoo-ah?

Sanderson:
Are you alright?

Grimes:
Yeah, I can hear bells ringin'!

Grimes:
Oh, yeah, RIGHT!

General Garrison:
If we don't hold down this city we are gonna have 100 caskets to fill by morning.

Atto:
You shouldn't have come here. This is a civil war. This is our war, not yours.

General Garrison:
300,000 dead and counting. That's not a war Mr. Atto. That's genocide.

Grimes:
Why aren't you shooting?

Waddell:
We're not being shot at yet!

Grimes:
How can you tell?

Waddell:
A hiss means it's close. If you hear a pop, then

Waddell:
- now they're shooting at us!

Eversmann:
Look, these people, they have no jobs, no food, no education, no future. I just figure that we have two things we can do. Help, or we can sit back and watch a country destroy itself on CNN.

"Hoot":
Sergeant, you got your men this far. You did it right today. Now you gotta start thinking about getting them out of here.

General Garrison:
We just lost the initiative.

McKnight:
You, get up there and drive!

Othic:
But I'm shot Colonel!

McKnight:
Everybody's shot! We need the prisoners, let's go!

Todd Blackburn:
Well, I'm here to kick some ass.

Grimes:
I made *coffee* during Desert Storm.

Garrison:
Good luck boys. Be careful. Remember nobody gets left behind.

Grimes:
What's wrong?

Eversmann:
Nothing. It's just that he's never done that before.

Eversmann:
You okay?

Todd Blackburn:
Excited. In a good way. I've been training my whole life for this.

Eversmann:
You ever shot at anybody before?

Todd Blackburn:
No Sergeant.

Eversmann:
Me neither.

Durant:
Super Six One, go to UHF secure. I've got some bad news.

Cliff Wolcott:
Limo is a word, Durant. I don't want to hear about it.

Durant:
It is not a word. It's not in the dictionary.

Cliff Wolcott:
Limo is a word in common usage. That is the key phrase in scrabble, my friend.

Durant:
No! If it's not in the dictionary, it doesn't count.

Cliff Wolcott:
It doesn't have to be in the dictionary!

Durant:
It does have to be in the dictionary! Listen, when we get back to base, it's coming off the board.

Cliff Wolcott:
You touch my limo and I'll spank you, Night Stalker. You hear me?

Durant:
Yeah. Promises.

Dominick Pilla:
Colonel! Colonel! They're shooting at us!

McKnight:
Well shoot back!

Durant:
My government will never negotiate for me.

Abdullah 'Firimbi' Hassan:
Then perhaps you and I can negotiate, huh? Soldier to Soldier.

Durant:
I am not in charge

Abdullah 'Firimbi' Hassan:
Course not, you have the power to kill, but not negotiate. In Somalia, Killing is Negotiation.

Abdullah 'Firimbi' Hassan:
Do you think if you get General Aidid, we will simply put down our weapons and adopt American democracy? That the killing will stop? We know this. Without victory, there will be no peace. There will always be killing, see? This is how things are in our world.

"Hoot":
See you're thinking. Don't. Cuz' Sergeant, you can't control who gets hit or who doesn't or who falls out of a chopper or why. It ain't up to you. It's just war.

Dominick Pilla:
You say this is your safety? Well, this is my boot, soldier, and it will fit up your ass with the proper amount of force!

"Hoot":
Nice man, real smooth.

Gordon:
Single shot to the engine block.

Todd Blackburn:
Hey, there's a line.

"Hoot":
I know.

Todd Blackburn:
And this ain't the end of it.

"Hoot":
I know.

Steele:
Sergeant, what's the meaning of this?

"Hoot":
Just a little aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave 'em behind.

Steele:
I'm talking about your weapon, soldier. Now Delta or no-Delta, that's still a hot weapon. Your safety should be on at all times.

"Hoot":
This is my safety, sir.

Sanderson:
Let it alone, sir. He hasn't eaten in a few days.

"Hoot":
Who's hungry?

Grimes:
Listen, kid, you look like you're 12.

Sanderson:
So where did they find you?

Grimes:
Behind a desk.

Grimes:
No really.

Eversmann:
You know, it's kind of funny. Beautiful beach, beautiful sun. Could almost be a nice place to visit.

"Hoot":
Almost.

Garrison:
You know, the last one of these guys shot himself in the head playing Russian-Roulette in a bar.

Matthews:
He now says that the house is a couple of blocks to his left, but he's scared if he gets any closer he'll be shot.

Garrison:
I'll fucking shoot him myself a couple of blocks down!

McKnight:
Ok, we're going to have to turn 'em around and go back the way we came.

Maddox:
WHAT?

Eversmann:
What the fuck, Smith?

Smith:
Well?

Eversmann:
"Well" what?

Smith:
We going out?

Eversmann:
Why should I tell you?

Smith:
Because I'm me!

Lorenzo Ruiz:
Don't go back out there without me. I can still do my job.

Steele:
Quick word, Specialist.

Dominick Pilla:
Sir.

Steele:
Tell me, Pilla. You understand why we have a chain of command, don't you?

Dominick Pilla:
Roger that, sir.

Steele:
'cause if I ever see you undermining it again, You'll be cleaning latrines with your tongue until you can't taste the difference between shit and French fries. Are we clear?

Dominick Pilla:
Hoo-ah, sir.

Grimes:
Fuuuuck this!

Maddox:
Sir, they're going to get us fucking killed out there!

McKnight:
Just get it over with!

Dan Busch:
Looks good.

Tim "Griz" Martin:
It's improving.

Dan Busch:
But if I may make a suggestion... more of an observation.

Tim "Griz" Martin:
Go ahead.

Dan Busch:
It's a children's book. They aren't supposed to scare the living shit out of the children.

Eversmann:
You brought your gun?

Todd Blackburn:
Yessir! Want me to shoot? I'm rested.

Eversmann:
When'd you get in?

Todd Blackburn:
Just now, sir.

Garrison:
Is he sure this time?

Harell:
He sounds scared shitless.

Garrison:
Good. That's always a good sign.

Matthews:
What's the matter Danny? Something you don't like?

McKnight:
No Specter gunships, daylight instead of night... late afternoon when they're all fucked up on Khat, only part of the city Aidid can mount a serious counter-attack on short notice...

McKnight:
What's not to like?

Harell:
Life's imperfect!

McKnight:
Yeah, for you two, circling above it at 500 feet it's imperfect. Down in the street, it's unforgiving.

Grimes:
These things are fuckin' bullet magnets!

Atto:
I'm going to be late.

Nelson:
The Humvees ain't coming back for us, dude.

Michael Durant:
I'm not a ranger, I'm a pilot.

Grimes:
It's all in the grind Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean your looking at the guy who believed the commercials. You know, about 'be all you can be'.

Grimes:
Why are they burning tires?

Eversmann:
Signals to the militia, that we're coming.

Yousuf Dahir Mo'alim:
This food is the property of Mohammad Farid Aidid, go back to your homes!

McKnight:
What happened to him?

McKnight:
How'd he do that?

Abdullah 'Firimbi' Hassan:
Mohammad Farid Aidid... claims this prisoner... alive!
