- Cole: You oughta be on the recruiting poster. Join the Marines, travel the world, make new friends... and kill 'em.
- [Pavel is making a reference to Simand, the extraction point as well as a Muslim town that suffered from years of persecution]
- Pavel: Muslims lived in this area for 600 years. The Nazis tried to wipe them out, then the communists and the Serbs. They were called the 'Modrus'. It means 'invincible'.
- Cole: Why do this to them?
- Pavel: Language, religion, property, greed, you choose. Men kill other men and nobody knows why.
- Deer Hunter: [Beckett was almost shot by a friend while hunting] I saw a deer, maybe.
- Thomas Beckett: A deer, maybe? DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING DEER TO YOU, ASSWIPE?
- Captain Marks: [Cole is captured by Serbs after the assassination of Gen. Valstoria and is being interrogated] The United Nations? Americans? British? Russians?
- Cole: Do I look Russian to you?
- Thomas Beckett: [to Cole] We're here to put a bullet in a man's head and let God sort it out. You better just pray we get our asses out of this country alive. All your dream shit, stops here.
- Thomas Beckett: Let's move out into town.
- Cole: That town's gotta be hot!
- [Beckett turns around, looks at Cole, briefly looks at his watch, and looks back up at Cole]
- Thomas Beckett: Now you look here, we have 30 minutes to our rendezvous, so either you go with me or without me.
- Cole: [Whispers] Shit
- [Beckett is being introduced to Cole at the US embassy to Germany in Berlin]
- Cole: Freedom.
- Eckles: Mr. Cole, shall I refresh your memory?
- Cole: Nah, I don't need no refreshing. One mission. If I fail, or if I try to escape, or if I take a shit where you tell me I can't, it's back to death row, right?
- McKenna: Master Gunnery Sergeant Beckett, meet Jake Cole.
- [as Beckett has his sights on Valstoria, his vision gets blurry]
- Cole: 'Sup?
- Thomas Beckett: Nothing. Ready.
- Cole: Are you sure?
- Thomas Beckett: Just keep your eye on the scope and shut the fuck up!
- Eckles: You beat out a Marine Corps rifle team and seven SWAT members.
- Thomas Beckett: So? What are you, the awards committee?
- Eckles: No, we need a sniper. A good one.
- McKenna: The best.
- Thomas Beckett: I am sick and tired of dealing with assholes who spend big bucks to shoot animals in cages.
- [Beckett, Cole, Sophia, her brothers, and Pavel escape via van from the aftermath of a gunbattle in which Cole and Pavel were freed from Serb soldiers]
- Thomas Beckett: [Looking at Pavel] Who the hell is he?
- Cole: That's classified.
- Thomas Beckett: Classified my ass! Get rid of him!
- Cole: Calm down, Beckett.
- Thomas Beckett: NO! We're on a mission, we're not here to make new friends.
- Cole: Your mission is over. It ended when you killed Valstoria. This man is mine.
- Thomas Beckett: What do you mean yours?
- Cole: My mission: Get captured, find this man and bring him out of the country. Your mission was just a setup for mine. Come on now, don't act like this is the first time the government has ever fucked you over. You made it out. Why did you come back?
- Thomas Beckett: I had my reasons.
- Cole: Yeah? Well, I wouldn't have done the same for you.
