"I could be working with my brother right now. He's got a dry-wall business in Compton. Does the inside of office buildings — you know, the metal studs. I could be his partner. Said he'd give me that brand new Dodge Ram Charger — you know, the 318 Magnum? The beast? All indoor work, too, lots of AC. I could sleep with my wife every night, fuck her, maybe; take my kids to school every morning. And I'd run his crews, too, probably increase productivity 40 to 50%. Make $100K a year. Do you know why I don't? Because I love this job. I thank God for every fucking day he gives me in the Corps. Oorah."

"[in the stolen car, being chased by a chopper] It's Kazim! Hey, maybe he wants his car back?"

"[seeing the Confederate gold] Jefferson Davis had how many samples made?"

"[about Batine's sarcophagus] Hey Dirk, get your butt up here, so we could scrape some of the crap off this thing."

"[about his tie] Hey, I can't remember how this works... something about a fox and a rabbit... it's really bugging me."

"[laughing, to Dirk] I was thinking about the funny part. Here we are, oceanographers and we're gonna probably die in the desert, chained-chained to truck parts... So when they write our obituaries... that'll be the funny part."

"[as Kazim's troops lay down their weapons in surrender] Looks like you killed the snake."

"Don't you hurt my boat."
