Col. Nathan R. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you, " and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Catherine: Ask me "What do you want from me Catherine?"
Nick: What the fuck do you want from Catherine?
Jeffries: It was a dream! We live inside a dream.
Doctor Evan Rendell: All that fat, all that sugar. We got to start taking better care of ourselves. Remember, we are what we eat. They have a saying: what goes down must come up.
Richard Yellow Hawk: Well, well, well, the Washington Redskin.
Agent St. Anne: You don't know if Tuesdays come in twos or happening once a week.
Peter Sanderson: Eventually revenge is carefully arranged.
