Gen. Mike Randolph:
If I were running the Pentagon, I'd have you stood up against the wall. Instead, they'll probably pin a medal on you. Have you ever heard of the word *discipline*? A staff officer acting like a kid playing Cowboys-and-Indians is an example that could cost a hundred lives. What are you trying to prove, Marcus?
Col. David 'Mickey' Marcus: I wish the h__l I knew, sir.

The plans have changed. The Kid wants to use nitro.
Lomax: Nitroglycerine?
Taw Jackson: Which is in a safe that you'll have to open.
Lomax: Forget it! I'm not gonna be anywhere near that drunk kid and nitro.
Taw Jackson: Lomax, that cuts it! Nobody takes a half a million sittin' on their backside. You'll either quit acting like a prima donna or we'll call the whole thing off.
Lomax: All right, but it'll cost you two thousand dollars more of your share.
