Mark Salter: John is getting slammed for making an irresponsible choice.
Steve Schmidt: We picked her.
Mark Salter: No, you two picked her and then slapped her on the butt and shoved her out there under a banner saying "Country First".
Anderson Cooper: If you had to do it over again, would you have her on the ticket?
Steve Schmidt: You don't get to go back in time, Anderson, and have do-overs in life.
Haymitch Abernathy: I like you better without all the make-up.
Effie Trinket: I like you better when you're sober.
Lyndon B. Johnson: You know, this could be your lucky day. You might be able to vote your conscience on the Farm Bill.
Senator Ralph Yarborough: I like to think that is the only way that I ever vote.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Spoken like a true one-term senator.
John F. Kennedy: I'm perfectly fine.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Guessing you Kennedys don't do a lot of deer hunting.
John F. Kennedy: Well, when Kennedys fire weapons, it's usually at Nazis.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Lot of Nazis in Hyannis Port?
Lyndon B. Johnson: Well, you know, Carl, there are two kinds of horses: show horses and work horses.
Senator Richard Russell: Those Harvard boys not gonna tell us how to run the state of Georgia.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Of course not. But the Kennedys did get elected by appealing to the colored man. Now, if we play this right, we're gonna have those nigras voting Democrat the next 200 years.
Walter Jenkins: There's just no power in the vice presidency.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Walter, how long you been with me?
Walter Jenkins: 21 years.
Lyndon B. Johnson: And in 21 years, can you think of a time that I have taken over a new office, and not made it 100 times more powerful than when I got there?
Walter Jenkins: No, sir.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Power is where power goes.
Lady Bird Johnson: Do you know why I married you? I had other offers, but I chose you. Do you know why?
Lyndon B. Johnson: I have no earthly idea.
Lady Bird Johnson: Because you asked.
Captain Tony Stone: You gotta wake the fuck up! You're not in high school, you're not in a fuckin' rock band, you're in the Army.
Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Yeah, I know. I know I'm in the Army. I gave blood to the Army. I got blown up in a fire-fight that lasted longer than your entire war. I didn't sunbath in Kuwait with the rest of the POGs.
Captain Tony Stone: I'd like to strap her on and wear her like a government issued gas mask.
Captain Tony Stone: Men are the ones that try harder to keep it together. They also can hurt you.
Captain Tony Stone: All I ever wanted was to get shot at. Is that too much to ask for, on the battlefield? A battle?
Captain Tony Stone: I know what you're thinkin'. You're thinkin' shit, I'm a goddamn decorated war hero with three months left to serve, and they draft me into the angels-of-death squadron. I get a beeper, a canned speech, and a lunatic commanding officer to serve a fuckin' ocean of grief. Am I right?
Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: More or less, sir. Am I right?
Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: We walk into these people lives, we don't know shit.
Captain Tony Stone: Trust me... you don't wanna know.
Captain Tony Stone: It should be in the next couple of blocks.
Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: We should just ask someone.
Captain Tony Stone: No! First of all, men don't ask for directions. Much less soldiers.
Captain Tony Stone: Civilian life's for people who ain't seen shit. It's too late for you, you've already seen the shit, you can't unsee it anymore. You can't be an insurance salesman now, brother, it's too fukin' late.
Alan: What happened to you guys?
Captain Tony Stone: Oh, I wouldn't worry, we do all our own stunts.
Merritt McKinney: The first time I saw you, I thought you were a dick.
J. Daniel Atlas: I'm touched.
Merritt McKinney: It's from the heart.
J. Daniel Atlas: Well, I didn't tell you where I was touched.
Merritt McKinney: The first time I saw you, I thought you were a dick.
J. Daniel Atlas: Oh, yeah? Then?
Merritt McKinney: Then nothing. That's it.
