Baba: Officer on deck.

Johnny Rico: Today, you're going to locate a medium-sized bug colony and wipe it out. Intel estimates infestation is level two. Which means we're up against a thousand active defenders.

Baba: We know what to do. Kill 'em all!

Johnny Rico: Yeah... that's the idea. Run the plan, lieutenant.

Baba: Yes, sir. Uh... Geo!

Geo: First team secures the landing zone, sir.

Baba: Uh, Camacho!

Camacho: We'll locate the target colony's entrance, sir?

Baba: Uh... One-Oh-One.

One-Oh-One: We give 'em the gas. Kills bugs, but don't hurt us.

Baba: Baba! Oh, uh, jeez, that's me. Flip the nuke, flip the launcher on the nuke. Oh, uh. but not yet. Uh... uh... Dutch!

Dutch: Me and Bessie seal the deal, right down their Bug hole!

Johnny Rico: Remember your training and stick to the plan. Do you get me?

Troopers: We get you, sir!
Johnny Rico: Well, that was just outstanding.

Dutch: How come I always get ripped in half?

One-Oh-One: Bugs got your number, big man.

Johnny Rico: Colonel, no one told us it was a trap. That's not fair, sir.

Johnny Rico: Here's a little combat secret for you, lieutenant: war isn't fair. It's always a trap.
Ratzass: You know, maybe it's true what they say. Maybe Martians just aren't that smart.

Johnny Rico: That's what people used to say about me back in high school.
Carl Jenkins: [Communicating telepathically] Everything I'm about to say to you is classified, so don't talk.

Carmen Ibanez: If you can read my thoughts, then you know I'm a little busy right now, Carl.

Carl Jenkins: You're the only one who can help right now, Carmen.

Carmen Ibanez: What is it this time?

Carl Jenkins: I need you to get a message to Johnny.

Carmen Ibanez: Johnny's on Mars, right? You're a lot closer than me.

Carl Jenkins: I can't get through to him like I can with you.

Carmen Ibanez: You know Johnny. He's got a thick head.
Johnny Rico: I'm taking Lost Patrol down to the planet.

Ratzass: You're going in with those Martian kids? Are you crazy?

Johnny Rico: Someone's gotta knock out those Bug batteries. We've trained for it, so today's the day.

Ratzass: You're a brass-balled trooper through and through, Rico. And goddamn it, I'm going with you!
Johnny Rico: On the bounce!
Johnny Rico: Plasma Bugs. If we don't kill them all tonight, they'll take Mars by morning.

One-Oh-One: You can get a speeding ticket from a satellite, but the Federation misses this?

Johnny Rico: Yeah... someone with experience screwed this pooch.
Baba: [laughing] Well, I guess we showed them, huh?

Johnny Rico: Yeah, and now all their friends are gonna come looking for us.

Baba: When's the rescue boat coming, sir?

Johnny Rico: Sometime between now and never. Let's move.

Baba: What? I mean, the Fleet, sir. They gotta be sending the Fleet, right?

Johnny Rico: Let's keep moving.
Carmen Ibanez: This operation's like slow-motion suicide.
Sky Marshall Amy Snapp: What is this thing you have for Bugs, Carl?

Carl Jenkins: Well, to beat your enemy, you have to know your enemy. And I learn something new every day.
Carl Jenkins: Now it's your turn, Johnny.
Dizzy Flores: You'll find a way, Johnny. You always do.
George: But how am I supposed to land without retros?

Baba: You're the pilot. Look for someplace soft.

George: Too bad your head's not bigger.

Troopers: [laugh]
Johnny Rico: You picked a good day to die.
Johnny Rico: It IS a good day to die!
George: I am a mighty Martian warrior as good as y'all and probably a whole lot better. Kill them all!
Baba: Lost Patrol?

Troopers: Hoorah! We got this!
Johnny Rico: Geo! What happens if you turn that thing on?

Johnny Rico, Geo: You mean, like, make some weather?

Johnny Rico: I mean rip the sky apart. Can you do that?

Geo: The core's power's still live. I think we can manage.

Johnny Rico: Do it. I want full power. We're going for balls-out overload.
Johnny Rico: You wanna live forever, lieutenant?

Baba: No, but a little longer would be okay.
Camacho: Excuse me while I rip the sky!
Dutch: Why do I always get ripped in half?
Carmen Ibanez: Sounds like you guys are having some fun down there.

Johnny Rico: Is that you, Carmen?

Carmen Ibanez: Yeah.

Johnny Rico: Where are you?

Carmen Ibanez: I'm heading in now. But you're making things difficult with this weather system. No one can fly in this mess.

Johnny Rico: Except for you, Carmen. You can fly through anything.
Johnny Rico: Open the hatch and hover.

Carmen Ibanez: What's the plan?

Johnny Rico: Just open the hatch!

Carmen Ibanez: Just a simple question.
Johnny Rico: Come on, you apes! Jump for it!

Troopers: Hooah!

Geo: Uh... I can't, sir!

Johnny Rico: What do you mean, you can't? You wanna die here?

Geo: One, you go!

One-Oh-One: Ladies first!

Johnny Rico: Somebody jump!
Carmen Ibanez: Did you know there were Bugs on Mars too, Carl? And you just let it happen?

Carl Jenkins: Carmen, how could you even think such a thing?

[Rico and Carmen groan]

Carl Jenkins: Very funny. But this is the war we can never stop fighting. The Bugs will never quit. And if we do, we're dead. For a few thousand years we humans enjoyed the relative peace of fighting amongst ourselves. And then we reached for the stars. I mean, what did we think would happen?

Johnny Rico: Well, thinking's your job, Carl. I'm the guy who follows orders.

Carl Jenkins: I like that. Now, go take back Mars from the Bugs will you, GENERAL Rico?

Johnny Rico: Yes, sir.

Carl Jenkins: [Looking at Carmen] What?

Carmen Ibanez: It's always good to see you, Carl.
Johnny Rico: You troopers got something special. Something everyone wants. You lived to tell the tale.
