-
Harry Wayne : He was in some kind of trouble in Vietnam. Do you know about it?
Sgt. Mike Nickerson : We were it.

Harry Wayne : I don't think these Cong, these North Vietnamese - or whatever the hell they are - have the guts the Japs did.
Bill Schmidt : Whatever the hell they are, they keep on fighting.
Tony Rodriguez : Over there, you don't know who your friend is, and who isn't. There's no side but your own.
Bill Schmidt : So in the end, it's easier to shoot everybody.
Harry Wayne : Bill doesn't believe in fighting. Kid, you should have gotten yourself a job in a hospital patching up guys who had the guts to get shot at.
Bill Schmidt : I got shot at. By an old man. Civilian. He was scared to death.
Harry Wayne : You shoot back?
Bill Schmidt : Sure. Over his head.
Sgt. Mike Nickerson : Tsk tsk. Might have hurt him.

Harry Wayne : Football is a great game. Elemental. 'Cause it's a conflict. That's what life is about. Isn't it?
Bill Schmidt : If you make it.
Harry Wayne : No, always, life against death. Like in Vietnam. We see just one corner of it, above the surface.
Bill Schmidt : You're mixing your metaphors, Harry.

Harry Wayne : I told that son of a bitch to keep that dog off my property.
Bill Schmidt : You can't keep a dog tied up all the time.

Tony Rodriguez : "Racial difference?" Isn't that illegal?
Harry Wayne : No, they can't play because they're too small, not because they're Puerto Rican. Some people are just naturally smaller than others, like Orientals...
Tony Rodriguez : I ain't no goddamn slopehead!
Sgt. Mike Nickerson : Cool it, Tony.
Harry Wayne : It's just an example, for Christ's sake.
