Quotes
-
Benjamin : We are journalists! We can't do this. It is unethical... and insane.
Simon : It would be a pleasure to personally catch him.
Benjamin : By ourselves. By ourselves. We don't even have any weapons.
Simon : If I gave you a gun, would you know how to use it?
Benjamin : No.
Simon : Then what the fuck are you complaining about?
Duck : I told you. The moment you start drinking that Bosnian brandy, the devil's sitting in the corner, just laughing.
-
Benjamin : [after the waiter's warning] What the fuck was that about?
Simon : A warning.
Benjamin : Yeah? It seemed more like a threat.
Simon : Yeah, beware of the nosy waiter with Serbian pride.
Duck : Well, actually, it was the first time that I thought that maybe Simon wasn't jerking our chain.
Benjamin : Yeah? Why's that?
Duck : Because the guy in there said that he's not in Celibici, which means maybe he actually *is* in Celebici.
Benjamin : Right. Unless he's really *not* in Celibici.
Duck : Well, that's a possibility, too.
-
Benjamin : [after being shot at by the waiter] We're gonna die. Every single person down here knows exactly what we're doing.
Simon : Keep your panties dry, Benjamin. It had nothing to do with the Fox.
Benjamin : What the hell do you mean? It's just a little local tradition to shoot at every customer?
Duck : [Simon pulls out some money] Wait a minute. Is that my money? You mean the money I left on the table, that's mine? Simon!
Simon : Times are tight. Things happen. Sue me.
Benjamin : Wait, wait, wait. You stole the money that was left for the bill?
Simon : I needed it more.
Benjamin : Okay, you got us shot at for twenty bucks!
Simon : I didn't know he was gonna *shoot* at us.

Indian Officer : War criminals? Believe it or not, we don't even have a copy of the complete indictment list.
Duck : You don't?
Indian Officer : [hopefully] No. Do you have a copy? I could always Xerox it. Miriam, is the copier working again?
Duck : Look, word has it there's a bunch of them living right here in Foca.
Indian Officer : Could be. Unfortunately, we're here to reform the police force, not hunt for war criminals.
Duck : But it wouldn't be much hunting. I mean, most of them are listed right in the phone book.
Indian Officer : As I said, we're not authorized to arrest war criminals.
Duck : You *are* the international police, right?
Indian Officer : Yes. Under the flag of the United Nations.
Benjamin : I thought the U.N. *was* looking for war criminals.
Indian Officer : We are. Aggressively. There's a five million dollar reward, you know?
Benjamin : But you said you don't have an indictment list.
Indian Officer : We don't! Donut?
-
Duck : [about Boris] He thinks we're a hit squad. He thinks we're a fucking hit squad!
Benjamin : Yeah, this can't be good. Isn't it illegal, impersonating a CIA officer?
Duck : Yeah, but we denied it.
Benjamin : Yeah, he didn't believe it.
Duck : It's true. It's like the more we fucking denied it, the more he didn't believe it.
Benjamin : Yeah, the problem is, if you were CIA you would deny it, and if you weren't, you would also deny it.
-
Duck : You know, when you think about it, the whole thing is fucking ridiculous.
Simon : Why? I could very well be CIA.
Duck : You can't even spell CIA.
Simon : Every fucking CIA guy I know looks exactly like *me*.
Duck : Yeah, only better-looking.
Benjamin : Well, they certainly do not look like me.
Simon : And that is the genius of it! Of course, the CIA would have someone who doesn't *look* CIA! That's exactly what they would do.
