• Riley Hale : You're out of your mind.

  Vic Deakins : Yeah. Ain't it cool?

  Riley Hale : I'm serious, Deak, your mind has taken a walk off the map.

  Vic Deakins : Maybe. But I'm still gonna kick your ass.

• Riley Hale : You know, these exercises are fantastic. When the day comes that we have to go to war against Utah, we're really gonna kick ass, y'know?

• Giles Prentice : Just for the record, I'm not entirely a civilian. I was actually a lieutenant in the ROTC at Yale.

  Riley Hale : Well, good for you, Lieutenant.

• Terry Carmichael : Just put it down, and I won't have to kill you.

  Riley Hale : This isn't a standoff. I've got the gun.

  Terry Carmichael : I never keep it loaded.

  [Hale is momentarily distacted; Terry acquires the gun and points it at him] 

  Riley Hale : Thought you said it wasn't loaded?

  Terry Carmichael : [fires a shot into the air]  I LIED!

• Vic Deakins : You know, Hale, I considered bringing you in on this. You know why I didn't?

  Riley Hale : 'Cause I would have said "no"?

  Vic Deakins : Nah, if you had said no, I'd have just killed you. I was afraid you were gonna say yes. 'Cause you don't have the balls to go through with something like this, we both know that.

• Riley Hale : [crawling through a small tunnel]  This seems like it doesn't go anywhere

  [drops into river below] 

• Major Vic Deakins : Nah, flying doesn't mean what it used to mean to me.

  Capt. Riley Hale : Not the flying - carrying the nukes. I know you. You love having the power of God at your fingertips. You get off on it.

• Riley Hale : There's no difference between you and a guy who shoots up a schoolyard. You've both got a-a head full of bad wiring.

  Vic Deakins : What was that?

  Riley Hale : You're fucked in the head, Deak.

  Vic Deakins : [Fires wildly at him]  Hah.

  Riley Hale : I pissed him off.

• Vic Deakins : Hale. Pick up. Pick up!

  [wheedling] 

  Vic Deakins : C'mon buddy, pick up the 'phone.

  Riley Hale : "Buddy," huh? Son of a bitch, you tried to kill me. The friendship is over.

  Vic Deakins : Well that doesn't mean I don't like you. Hell, I'm impressed.

• Riley Hale : We were only sparring, buddy.

  Vic Deakins : Thinking like that is exactly why you lost.

• [Hale has a shotgun on Deakins, but Deakins is holding a remote for the bomb] 

  Riley Hale : You lose.

  Vic Deakins : I've still got my finger on the trigger. That's the *remote* trigger. See if I push this button here

  [DETONATE] 

  Vic Deakins : *You lose!* But if I push this button here,

  [CANCEL] 

  Vic Deakins : the weapon is disarmed.

  Riley Hale : [cocks the shotgun]  So why don't you disarm it then?

  Vic Deakins : I'm not in the mood.

• Terry : [running after Riley even though he told her to go to a phone for help]  Oh, this is a bad idea.

  [jumps on the roof of the truck with Hale] 

  Terry : Hi.

  Riley Hale : [Bemused]  Hi.

• Riley Hale : No, you don't understand. You see, it really *is* yours. I took it outta your wallet while you were in the shower.

• Terry Carmichael : [after Hale has shot a bad guy from between Terry's legs]  Wow.

  Riley Hale : That was a first for me, too.

• [last lines] 

  Terry : You know you're still under arrest, Captain.

  Riley Hale : [holding Terry's hand]  Oh, yeah? Well, I guess you better take me in.

• Riley Hale : [points a gun at Baker]  You can get out now.

  Baker : [points his gun at Terry]  I don't know, looks like we got ourselves a stand-off.

  Riley Hale : [Hale lowers his gun and shoots Baker in the leg. Baker screams and loses control of his gun] 

  [ramming Baker's head into the steering wheel] 

  Riley Hale : NO-WE-DON'T!

  [Throws Baker out of the Humvee] 

• Riley Hale : Endangered dirt. That's a new one.
