Brad Little edit

  • Mr. Preston, this operation will be a failure if we all die!
  • Boy, you're going to be busier than a three-peckered goat.
  • Rules of engagement: 1. Whoever sees the other person first is the winner; 2. Whoever gets seen first is toast.
  • When we have mastered these tactics, we will use them to seek out and confront the forces of evil and kill them deader than hell!
  • [describing what he expects of his protégé] A 1st class all American hero with his heart and brain wired together cooking full tilt boogie for freedom and justice!
  • Make that damn thing go away, son!
  • [demonstrating Apache's capabilities to Preston] You could crash this thing at twenty G's and survive, but I am NOT going to prove it to you!
  • Once a helicopter battle has been engaged, someone is going to die. You boys do not have the speed to run away from a fight.

Jake Preston edit

  • [to Brad] Well. That's very big of you, Little.
  • I AM THE GREATEST!
  • Time to throw the dog a bone, Breaker.
  • [Jake is trying to rescue Guthrie from Stoller] You're not touching her, you filthy piece of shit!
  • Oops. You blew it.

Billie Le Guthrie edit

  • [commiserating with Jake after he fails a test] It's like sex, hardly anyone gets it right the first time.

Dialogue edit
