Courage Under Fire

1996

Monfriez: Sir, if you get a hangfire on your weapon, what do you do? You wait, with your weapon pointed in a safe direction, 'cause sometimes the primer bursts, and if you open the chamber it blows up in your face. Leave this round in the chamber, sir.

Nathaniel Serling: I work at the Pentagon, Sergeant, so I'll admit I'm a little slow on the uptake, otherwise I'd say that you just threatened me. Did you just threaten me, soldier? Because if you did, let me respond to you... (turns off tape recorder) Let me respond to you this way. I'm an officer, and therefore, by proclamation, a gentleman, but don't abuse that, son. Don't get in my crosshairs, because I'll have no compunction whatsoever about getting up to my neck in yo' ass. Do you understand me?

Specialist Ilario: It's not the doing shit that gets to you. It's the consequences. Imagine a life without consequences.

(after leading his troops in a prayer) Nathaniel Serling: Now let's kill 'em all.

Tony Gartner, Washington Post: Sweet Jesus, there's always a tape.

Captain Karen Emma Walden: (to Monfriez, after she's been shot in the abdomen) I gave birth to a nine-pound baby, asshole. I think I can handle it.

(holding a pistol to Serling's head) Monfriez: You ever kill anyone at close range with a small arms, sir? (Serling shakes his head) Monfriez: Messy.

(grabbing a recruit leaving an obstacle) Monfriez: Just what the fuck do you think you're doing, soldier? Where are your men? Recruit: Right there, sir! Monfriez: Yeah? What do you call that? (gestures to one man who still hasn't made it through the obstacle) Monfriez: You see that man? You and he are brothers! He depends on you! You depend on him! You *never* leave a man behind!

Joel Walden: (to LTC Serling, after Anne Marie saw him and ran away) Men dressed as you are came to the door to tell her her mother had died.
