Six confirmed kills. Lt. Myron Goldman: Really? Outstanding! NVA or VC? Sgt. Zeke Anderson: Monkeys. They didn't say which side they were on. What's the matter? Ain't none of you niggers ever seen a spic before? Private Marcus Taylor: Not an ugly one like you! Lt. Myron Goldman: I think we should attack. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: I think we should wait it out, sir. Lt. Myron Goldman: Are you sure? Sgt. Zeke Anderson: Well, we could call Gen. Wesmoreland right now, and discuss it! Father, I just want to know what we're all doing in this godforsaken excuse of a country! Priest: What we're doing here? Son, I'm here to give you comfort and support, but I'm often as confused as you are. | |

You will give us the coordinates, or I'll arrange for you to have a talk with my south Vietnamese colleague, here. Colonel Li Trang: My country important. My life not important. You can't win. Major Braun: Listen to me, colonel. You have never defeated us in the battlefield. We have superior firepower. We can bomb you back to the stone age. Colonel Li Trang: You can't win. Unless you want to stay here and eat rice for the next thousand years, you can't win. Man, you're lying again. Private Danny Purcell: Yeah, well, I also kill people. That don't make me a bad person. The chaplain wasn't congratulating you for what you did on the field. He was congratulating you for coming back alive. If you ask me, sir, that's a stupid way to do it. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: The army ain't asking, soldier. Sgt. Greg Block: You in my jungle now, boy. If you're a conscientious objector, why did you come here instead of prison? Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury: Didn't want to be some lifer's old lady. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: You could've gone to Canada. Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury: Allergic to moose. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: You didn't answer my question, soldier. Why did you come to Vietnam instead of prison or Canada? Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury: Well, because prison or Canada wouldn't have been positive experiences. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: Let me tell you something, out in the field, Charlie can be a very negative experience. We're gonna go down and secure the village. Private Danny Purcell: Seems like a wussy mission for special forces. Sergeant Marvin Johnson: VC have been coming down there, collecting taxes from the locals. They haven't been paying so they started terrorizing them. Like it or not, it's our job. Private Marcus Taylor: You want to talk terrorist tactics? Take a look at what Uncle Sam did to your paycheck. Why are we here? Because, we don't mean squat. We are second rate citizens. What about all the other people whose kids don't have to fight the war? Let's face it boys, we're the hicks, the spics and the niggers. That's why we're here. I don't know what you're going through. But, if you think you're the only one who's hurting, you're dead wrong. What we saw there today... made me sick. If you keep taking those pills, you're putting your buddies at risk, while they're covering it for you. Private Danny Purcell: That's not it, Doc. You see, I've been here too long. A long time ago, I just stopped caring. I was doing my best to feel anything. But then, I just realized I don't want to feel a damn thing anymore. [about a village that was massacred by another American platoon] You guys just don't get it. We killed those people. Even if we weren't the ones who pulled the triggers, we did it! What if it was back home? What if those were your sisters, your brothers, your parents? When I think about it, I want to puke my guts out! But, I can't... I've been here too damn long. You can't win this war by killing every man, woman and child. Lieutenant Joseph 'Skip' Beller: There's no other way. Susanna: So, what are you doing here? Private Alberto Ruiz: The president sent me. Yet another memorial service brought to you courtesy of communist containment. This is a war. There's casualties. Once you get past that, you can concentrate on winning. Lt. Myron Goldman: Winning? Where the hell have you been? [during combat, to VC] I'm the nightmare your mama told you about! I'm not like you, sir. I never had that many friends and I was never good at making any. Lt. John McKay: Good at making friends? Lieutenant Goldman's my best friend and he hates me! Lt. Myron Goldman: So, what do you think? Sgt. Zeke Anderson: About what? Lt. Myron Goldman: I... I was just thinking about my father. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: You're talking about the first General Goldman? Lt. Myron Goldman: He was Colonel Goldman back then. He was one tough son of a bitch. It's just that no matter what he did, the men liked him. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: Listen to me, it's real easy to get these guys to like you. They'll like you, up until the time the base is overrun. Then there's gonna be only one person to blame... [pokes Goldman's shoulder] I think she's gonna have a baby. Anybody know what we oughta do? Sergeant Marvin Johnson: No idea. Pvt. Scott Baker: Well, my mother had a baby. Sgt. Zeke Anderson: Well, I hope so, Baker! I guess when I'm drunk I can make a little sense of it all. I just want to know what the hell happened to me. Vietnamese hooker: You get boom-boom. That's what happend to you. Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury: [drunk] Auntie Em, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore! You gotta do it, Marcus! You're gonna get court marshaled, man! Private Marcus Taylor: What're they gonna do?! Send me to Vietnam?! Nigga, I am in Vietnam! | |
