Jon Huertas: Sgt. Antonio 'Poke' Espera

Quotes 

• Cpl. James Chaffin : [voiceover during end credits]  I don't give a fuck what you write. It's gonna come out all liberal media bullshit spin on it anyway.

  Evan 'Scribe' Wright : Seriously, what am I supposed to do with all this bullshit you guys constantly talk?

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Oh, you think I'm some sorta racist psycho redneck?

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : What, you ain't?

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Oh, and you ain't some fuckin' militant taco-bender revolutionary?

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : See, reporter? No outsider can understand how we really are.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : We're all fuckin' brothers.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : And we're all fuckin' alpha males too.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : We gotta constantly test each other.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : All we do is fight for position in the pack, dawg. All that training we do? The martial arts, the grappling? It's for practice. But it's also for real, to achieve dominance over a motherfucker. We do the same thing mentally. It's prison rules, dawg. We probe for any fuckin' weakness we can find. Family, race, brains, looks. Anything you have on a motherfucker, you wear it the fuck out.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Bein' a Marine isn't about words, anyway. It's about your fuckin' actions.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : Back home in the civilian world, a fool slaps a "protect the planet" sticker on his car, suddenly he's all about the environment and shit. Don't matter that he still drives that fuckin' car, fires up his computer and video games and cell phone every night with electricity made from nuclear power, coal, and fuckin' melted baby seal oil. Nuh-uh-uh, I got a dolphin sticker on my shit, so I'm all about savin' the fuckin' planet.

  [Chaffin chuckles] 

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : In our fuckin' Marine Corps civilization, it don't matter what a motherfucker says. Only thing that matters is, dawg, would you charge that motherfuckin' machine gun when the motherfucker tells you to charge the motherfuckin' machine gun.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Shit, everybody in this platoon's a hard charger. Marines bitch about everything, man: chow, fuckin' moron officers, no time for a combat jack. But you will NEVER hear a Marine in this platoon bitch that we could die at any second.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : Hell, no.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : THAT'S what we signed up for.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : Oorah that, motherfucker.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Fuckin' care if some latte-sippin' bisexual college student readin' about Justin Timberlake in "Rolling Stones" think I'm a psycho racist cracker? Fuck, no. I'd give my life for any brother in here. I know any one of them'd do the same for me. You think it matters if I call fuckin' T a nigger? Shit. Fuckin' love that big dark green Marine and his big ol' beautiful nigger dick.

  [he chuckles] 

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Love all my dirty spic brothers here.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : And I love this fuckin' cracker-ass inbred racist peckerwood fuck. I don't know why I do, dawg, but I do.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : 'Cause I'm pretty and I shave my balls. Wanna touch 'em, reporter?

  Evan 'Scribe' Wright : No. Thanks.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : Look, man, I joined the Marine Corps ten days after I graduated high school. I went to school with all these rich kids at St. Tammany's Parish, but I was an apartment kid. My mom worked. I worked summers diggin' footings on the weekends. I was a dishwasher at D'Angelo's Pizzeria. I busted my ass, became a Recon Marine since I was nineteen. My shit is tight as fuck. I know that, my brothers in this platoon know that. So fuck all of you.

  [Wright spits out his tobacco juice] 

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : Damn, war scribe, you just spit on my fuckin' rack, dawg.

  Evan 'Scribe' Wright : Where?

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : There! You see that pile of dried camel dung? That's my fuckin' pillow, dawg! You fuckin' spit on it, fool! You a heinous-ass white boy.

  Evan 'Scribe' Wright : Sorry.

• Cpl. Anthony 'Manimal' Jacks : [There is a load crash in the background]  Fuck!

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : Yo, Manimal just dropped a case of grenades.

  Cpl. James Chaffin : See? That's why we can't have nice things.

• [Swarr locates Bravo in camp] 

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : [shaking Swarr's hand]  How the fuck did you find us?

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : I came up with Delta.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Shit, the fuckin' reservists, dude?

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : Brad, you're not gonna believe it. It has been madness since day one.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : What happened to your cushy liaison gig at Al Jabar?

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : [winking]  Yeah, rockin' the fuckin' side pipe with them Air Force hotties.

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : Fuck that, I ain't had a war since Somalia, I had to get some. But I seriously would not have jumped ship if it meant rollin' with Delta.

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : What? Clusterfuck?

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : They're off the hook! Dude, they don't got any gear! Or food! They were pullin' escort duty just to eat. And then they got to rollin' into these hamlets and doin' these shows of force, y'know, cowboy shit, for fun. Like this one time, I swear to God, they thought it'd be funny to give these little kids, like, porn mags, like Hustlers and Maxims and shit, show the little hajjis what we're fightin' for. This old Iraqi comes stormin' out, starts screamin' at our interpreter about how we're fuckin' up their morals or some dumb shit, right? And he's super fuckin' pissed, the old man's got an RPG. Delta fuckin' freaks. They lob, like, twenty-six Mark-19 rounds. They fuck up the whole hamlet.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Fuck.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Bull-fucking-shit.

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : Ollie North filmed the whole fuckin' thing.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : THE Oliver North?

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : Oliver fuckin' North was standin' there with a camera crew from Fox, filmin' the whole fuckin' thing like it was the turning point in the fuckin' war. These Delta fucks are, like, LAPD cops and DEA agents and fuckin' air marshals. You know what I mean? And they're led by this Napoleon douche who is, like, a corporal or some shit in the Albuquerque PD. I swear to God, this motherfucker has got cattle horns on his Humvee.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : This is so colossally retarded, I can't even say anything about it.

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : Godfather knows. He's been duckin' us on the comms for the past couple weeks.

  [he smiles] 

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : But they're here now, Brad. And they're rollin' with you.

  Cpl. Gabe Garza : No fuckin' way. We're workin' with reservists?

  Sgt. Antonio Espera : That's some bullshit.

  [Delta's Humvees drive by; true to Swarr's description, the lead Humvee has cattle horns on it] 

  Gunnery Sgt. Robert Swarr : Check it out. If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : [sarcastically]  Oh, THAT'S a real Marine.
