Fine, I can hear you now, Dmitri... Clear and plain and coming through fine... I'm coming through fine, too, eh?... Good, then... well, then, as you say, we're both coming through fine... Good... Well, it's good that you're fine and... and I'm fine... I agree with you, it's great to be fine... a-ha-ha-ha-ha... Now then, Dmitri, you know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the Bomb... The *Bomb*, Dmitri... The *hydrogen* bomb!... Well now, what happened is... ahm... one of our base commanders, he had a sort of... well, he went a little funny in the head... you know... just a little... funny. And, ah... he went and did a silly thing... Well, I'll tell you what he did. He ordered his planes... to attack your country... Ah... Well, let me finish, Dmitri... Let me finish, Dmitri... Well listen, how do you think I feel about it?... Can you *imagine* how I feel about it, Dmitri?... Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello?... *Of course* I like to speak to you!... *Of course* I like to say hello!... Not now, but anytime, Dmitri. I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened... It's a *friendly* call. Of course it's a friendly call... Listen, if it wasn't friendly... you probably wouldn't have even got it... They will *not* reach their targets for at least another hour... I am... I am positive, Dmitri... Listen, I've been all over this with your ambassador. It is not a trick... Well, I'll tell you.

- "We don't go back to France because this is our home (Vietnam), Captain. You don't understand our mentality! The French officer mentality! At first, we lose in Second World War. I don't say that you Americans win, but we lose. In Dien Bien Phu, we lose! In Algeria, we lose! In Indochina, we lose. But here, we don't lose! This piece of earth, we keep it! We will never lose it! Never! You know anything about Dien Bien Phu? The generals and the colonels believe it's impossible for the Viets to get the cannon up there in the mountain. But they do. Then they wait for the rain to come. When it comes, no airplane can fly there, and our paratroopers jump at ninety meters! I mean, you know, ninety meters! Seventy meters! That's crazy! Nobody in the world can do that! And they only do that to be dead with their friends. The French Army sacrificed. Sacrificed by politicians safe at home. They put the army in an impossible situation where they couldn't win! The students are marching in Paris, protesting, demonstrating. They stab the soldiers in their back! The soldier would open a grenade, it wouldn't work. A piece of paper would fall, "Union of the French Woman." "We are all for the Viets." Traitors! Communist traitors at home! See, Captain, when my grandfather and my uncle's father came here, there was nothing. Nothing. The Vietnamese were nothing. So we worked hard, very hard, and brought the rubber from Brazil, and then plant it here. We took the Vietnamese, work with them, make something, something out of nothing. So when you ask me why we want to stay here, Captain, we want to stay here because it's ours, it belongs to us. It keeps out family together. We fight for that! While you Americans, you are fighting for the biggest nothing in history." - De Marais to Captain Willard (in the 1979 movie Apocalypse Now).
- "We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "f**k" on their airplanes because it's obscene!" Colonel Kurtz (in the 1979 movie Apocalypse Now).
- "If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training ... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human f***ing beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian s**t! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots understand that?" - Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (in the 1987 movie Full Metal Jacket)
- "You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!" - Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (in the 1987 movie Full Metal Jacket)

- "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? Harry Callahan (in the 1971 movie Dirty Harry)
