• Captain Collins : You got that body count yet?

  Lieutenant Archer : Yes sir, 2 chickens and a duck.

• Alvin Foster : So, how did you get this game set up sir?

  Lieutenant Archer : General Sloan was so impressed with what we did that he set it up. Foster, do you realize that we took out a communication outpost, captured an enemy stronghold and wiped out an entire company of NVA regulars?

  [pauses] 

  Lieutenant Archer : Do you believe everything I just said Foster?

  Alvin Foster : Well, yes sir.

  Lieutenant Archer : Well then, I guess they should make you a General, too.

• Radio Hanoi Announcer : You're listening to the cool sound of Radio Hanoi

  Lieutenant Archer : Radio Hanoi. God fuck it! We lost the enemy for what? For a goddamn relay booster for motherfuckin' Radio Hanoi! Intelligence storm or a goddamn enemy communication centre! Wires some gooks balls, tells 'em any goddamn thing they want to hear and they listen to 'em because they're fuckheads, 'cause they're goddamn fuckheads! Washington you know why we're on this goddamn mission? You know they have a battalion sitting on top of that hill over there watching down at us? 'Cause we're gonna draw fire Washington, we're bait, we're goddamn motherfuckin' live bait! That's all we are. We gonna draw 'em out of the bush and those bastards in that hill are gonna let loose with that big fancy ass million dollar hardware and they'll get a nice juicy bodycount. Washington, if that's what those motherfuckers want, that is precisely what those motherfuckers are going to GET!
