• Captain Frye : You changed the coordinates, didn't you, General?

  General Hummel : That's affirmative, Captain.

  Sergeant Crisp : So now they think we're gutless, the feds? They think we won't actually do it?

  Captain Frye : They're going to come at us with everything they got. Air and sea. They're going to bomb our ass back to the Stone Age.

  Major Tom Baxter : They don't know we missed on purpose.

  Captain Frye : Great. We're not gutless, we're incompetent.

• Major Tom Baxter : I thought you weren't ready to kill.

  General Hummel : I'm warmin' up.
