Salvador (film)

"[to his captors] I hope you all get anal herpes!"

"Left-wing, Colonel? Eh, maybe. But I'm not a Communist. And you guys never seem to be able to tell the difference!"

"Is that why you're here, Colonel? Some kind of post-Vietnam experience like you need a rerun or something? You pour a hundred twenty million bucks into this place, you turn it into a military zone, so what, so you can have chopper parades in the sky?"

"You let them close down the universities, you let them wipe out the best minds in the countries, you let them kill whoever they want, you let them wipe out the Catholic Church, you let them do it all because they aren't Commies! And that, Colonel, is bull shit!"

"You gotta get close to get the truth. You get too close, you die."

"[about the government in El Salvador] A pathological killer on the right, God-knows-what on the left, and a gutless middle."
