Quinn McKenna: What's with the polygraph? I thought this was a psych eval.

VA Psych: We need to know if you pose a threat.

Quinn McKenna: Oh, I'm a sniper. Isn't posing a threat kind of the fucking point?
Casey Bracket: I think they're attempting hybridization.

Quinn McKenna: You're just pulling this out of your ass.

Casey Bracket: Did you not see the new Predator? It's evolving.

Quinn McKenna: Or being upgraded.
Nebraska Williams: Why are you here? Come on, man, this is the loony bus.

[points at Lynch]

Nebraska Williams: Look at this motherfucker.

Lynch: Loonies!

Coyle: Loonies, yeah.

Quinn McKenna: Ah...

[sighs]

Quinn McKenna: I had a run-in with a space alien.

Coyle: Oh, shit!

[everyone laughing]

Nebraska Williams: No, let him...

Coyle: Okay, that guy wins. That's the best story I've ever heard. Classic story...

Lynch: That's the winner right there. Fuckin' hell.

Quinn McKenna: [yells] Would you shut the fuck up?

Coyle: Oh.

Quinn McKenna: They want to put a lid on it, so here I am. Stuck in Group Two. The sequel to Group One, only stupider.
Traeger: Do you know what my job description is? I'm in acquisitions. I look up and I catch what falls out of the sky.
Coyle: Hey, Baxley! If your mom's vagina were a video game, it'd be rated "E" for "Everyone."
Traeger: Predators don't just sit around making hats out of rib cages. They conquered space.
Casey Bracket: What's on the ship?

Traeger: I think you know what's on the ship. The ultimate predator.
Nebraska Williams: [describing The Predator to McKenna's wife] Know who Whoopi Goldberg is? It's like an alien Whoopi Goldberg.
[first lines]

Haines: [on radio] Picket One, copy. Do you got eyes on hostages?

Quinn McKenna: Still negative.

Dupree: [on radio] 20 bucks says they don't show.

Quinn McKenna: You two morons really making bets on whether a drug cartel has executed hostages?

Dupree: Abso-fucking-lutely.

Haines: I believe that was implied.

Dupree: Just checking. I'm in for 20.
Baxley: Figured something out. I think we're gonna die. We're gonna go hunt and fight the what, the army?

Coyle: We're not gonna fight the army...

Baxley: And some fucking people from space!
Traeger: Gentlemen, remember... they're large, they're fast and fucking you up is their idea of tourism.
Casey Bracket: It's called the Predator. it hunts people for sport.

Nebraska Williams: Technically, that's not a predator. That's like...

Casey Bracket: Thank you.

Coyle: It's a hunter.

Casey Bracket: I said the same thing.
[the Assassin Predator slams the other Predator on top a car]

Coyle: What's the big one? What's the big one, Doc? Is that like the male?

Baxley: He didn't even give a shit about us. Just wanted to kill that thing.

Casey Bracket: You saw that, right? Guys! Did you see that? He - He grew an exoskeleton under his fucking skin. What, are they hunting each other now?
Casey Bracket: [as she examines the Predator up close while he's strapped to a table] You are one beautiful motherfucker.
Baxley: Fuck me in the face with an aardvark.
[Referring to the Predator Killer nanotech armor suit]

Dr. Yamada: What the hell is that?

Quinn McKenna: That's my new suit, bubba. I hope they got it in a 42 long.

[End credits roll. Enter: The Predator Killer]
Quinn McKenna: What are you?

Predator: What are you?

Quinn McKenna: Shut the fuck up.
Casey Bracket: [In a lab filled with lab workers, as the Predator is laid out on an examination table] Why do you call it "the Predator"?

Traeger: It's a nickname. You know, the data suggests that it tracks its prey, exploits weaknesses. Seems to- well, enjoy it. Like a game.

Casey Bracket: That's not a predator, that's a sports hunter.

Traeger: Sorry?

Casey Bracket: A predator kills its prey to survive. I mean, what you're describing is more like a bass fisherman.

Traeger: Well, we took a vote. Predator's cooler, right?

[Rest of lab agrees]

Traeger: Fuck yeah.
Quinn McKenna: Howdy.

Sapir: What, are you gonna kill us with a fucking tranq gun?

Quinn McKenna: You took my boy, so yeah.

[shoots Sapir in his eye]

Rory McKenna: Told you.
Coyle: Hey, Baxley! Question for ya.

Baxley: Here we go...

Coyle: How do you circumcise a homeless man?

Baxley: Here it comes...

Coyle: Kick your mom on the chin.

[laughs]

Baxley: [Unintelligible profanity from Baxley due to his Tourrete's. The rest of the crew erupts in laughter]
Quinn McKenna: Get to the choppers!

[as the Predator is closing in to killing them all, he screams for everyone to jump on a set of motorcycle choppers nearby to get away]
Predator: [Translating it's language] Hello. I've enjoyed watching you kill each other. I came here to destroy this vessel. You cannot have it. What you can do is run. I detect one among you who is a true warrior. The one called McKenna. He will be your leader. He will be my prize. I offer time advantage. Go.
Quinn McKenna: [when the Predator abducts Rory] No No! He said he wanted me. He said he wanted me!

Casey Bracket: No. He said he wanted McKenna. The next step in the evolutionary chain. Not you. Your son.
Rory McKenna: Sorry I never grew up. You know... the way you wanted.

Quinn McKenna: [motions Rory to lean closer] Tell you a secret. Truth is, kid, I never grew up the way *I* wanted.
Quinn McKenna: [introducing themselves] McKenna.

Nebraska Williams: Nebraska Williams.

Quinn McKenna: That's your real name?

Nebraska Williams: Gaylord.

Quinn McKenna: That's a good call, then.
Quinn McKenna: Morning, sunshine.

Casey Bracket: I really wish people would stop calling me that.

[quickly grabs the nearby shotgun and aims it at McKenna]

Coyle: Sh- Hey! Ho, hooo! I told you she'd grab it! Ten bucks, pay up. Woo!

[the other group members begrudgingly hand Coyle money]

Casey Bracket: Where's my phone?

Quinn McKenna: [hinting at shotgun] You're not gonna need that.

[Casey cocks the shotgun]

Quinn McKenna: Oh, well, that's not...

[slowly reaches for her weapon]

Quinn McKenna: It's okay. I said it's okay.

[tries to tug weapon out of Casey's arms, she pulls the trigger; the group stares in shock, then uproar in laughter]

Coyle: Hoo, shit! I told you she'd pull the trigger! I should'a bet you that time!

Nebraska Williams: I like her!
Traeger: [wearing the Predator shoulder cannon] On Halloween, this blew up a whole house. How do you shoot it?

Rory McKenna: You don't. It just fires by itself where it's being attacked.

Traeger: Seriously? Oh, shit.
Traeger: [looking at the Predator's ship] What do you say, buddy? You think you can get us in there? Because I'm not sure that you can.

Rory McKenna: Nice reverse psychology. I can do that, too. Don't go fuck yourself.
Coyle: What's the difference between five big black guys and a joke? Baxley's mom can't take a joke.
Baxley: [sees the Predator escape from the secret base] Alien.

Nebraska Williams: Your green boy?

Quinn McKenna: Yep.

Nebraska Williams: Goddamn space aliens.
Quinn McKenna: Casey! Can I interest you in getting the fuck out of here?

Casey Bracket: "Getting the fuck out of here" is my middle name.

Quinn McKenna: [looks at Nebraska] And I thought Gaylord was bad.
Quinn McKenna: You're saying my son's headed toward a spaceship and so is a10-foot alien.

Nebraska Williams: Uh, 11, actually. Used to be a contractor.

Quinn McKenna: This thing is a hybrid? What does that mean?

Casey Bracket: Meaning it's a Chinese menu of DNA. Comprised of the deadliest species in the entire...

Nebraska Williams: In the entire universe, yeah?

Casey Bracket: Galaxy.

Nebraska Williams: What?

Casey Bracket: Galaxy. 250 billion stars. Why go universe? Just saying.
Rory McKenna: That's my dad. He's gonna come save me now.

Traeger: Oh, is he? Is that what he's gonna do? I'll tell you what, buddy... if it is your daddy, and I truly hope that it is... he's gotta be just about the dumbest motherfucker I've ever met.

[laughs]

Traeger: I mean, a Ranger sniper tripping wire sensors? He's gotta be...

[realizes]

Traeger: ... creating a diversion. It's a fucking diversion.
[after the Predator slaughters some soldiers]

Transport Driver: Everything okay back there?

[Predator gives a thumbs up with a severed hand]

Transport Driver: You fucking guys.
Nettles: No, it had to be like government or some shit. Like a robot, or whatever.

Lynch: Nettles, are you fucking retarded, man?

Quinn McKenna: Use another word, would ya?

Nettles: Yeah, man. Show a little sensitivity. His son's retarded.
VA Psych: You were once quoted as saying, I dropped from my mother's womb, I hit the floor, and I started crawling through hostile territory toward my grave.

The Predator short comments

It felt like a very exciting movie, but I laughed while watching it. Is it a comedy? And the more I look at it, the more depressed I get. I don't know if it's related to the child's acting skills or the music. I don't know what to say, I want to change the rhythm. (two and a half stars)

Overall, the story line is clear, and watching the Iron Warriors is very cool! They came to Earth for self-evolution, and killing was not the only purpose. As a human being, seeing that aliens think human genes are the best quality inspires an infinite sense of self-satisfaction. But why are we an endangered species? I haven't watched the first few movies, but this one alone meets my expectations. I like the foreshadowing at the end of the film the most, there should be another one, right?
