Sgt. Holt: All right, you gonna level with me and tell me what's going on, or are we gonna dance again? Specialist Hawkins: All right! I'll level with you. But first... let me ask you something. How long have you been here in country? Sgt. Holt: 18 months. Specialist Hawkins: And in those 18 months, how many times have you and your men taken a hill, village, or piece of ground only to return it back to the enemy days later? Sgt. Holt: So? Specialist Hawkins: Don't you get it? They're not gonna let us win. Because if we win, the war stops and if the war stops, the money stops.

Brig. Gen. George Delevane: I can assure you gentlemen that everything is under control and you have nothing... absolutely nothing to worry about. Michaelson: Don't stroke me, Delevane! This scheme was your idea. My involvment was purely contingent upon your personal abilities to bring this project to a prompt and promptable conclusion within the time frame established by you. And quite frankly, General, I'm beginning to doubt those abilities. Brig. Gen. George Delevane: Listen, Mr. Michaelson, I told you that a project of this magnatiude never really reaches its conclusion without some temporary setbacks none of which I might add are unsolvable. Michaelson's Friend: General, our clients have nearly 100 million dollars at stake. They're not intrested in temporary setbacks. Only results. Brig. Gen. George Delevane: They'll have the results and so will I. Everything will proceed on schedule. You have my word. Michaelson's Friend: Remember, General... public officials that go down... go down very, very fast.
Sgt. Holt: You're a dead man! Lt. Smitty: Not quite yet, Sergeant Holt. Not quite yet.

Sgt. Holt: Let's get something straight here! I'm the sergeant... which puts me in command. You got a problem with that? Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: No. Sgt. Holt: Do you? Sgt. Holt: Now that we have a mutual understanding. We need to get out of here. We need food, we need water, and we need ammunition. Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: I know where you can get some. Sgt. Holt: How far? Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: Three... four miles at the most. But we gotta travel underground. It's too damn hot upstairs. Cpl. Butler: Oh, that's great! That's just fucking great! Sgt. Holt: Why should I trust you? Spc. Sgt. Hawkins: Because you don't have a choice. Sgt. Holt: Very well. Lead the way rat man.
