Capt. T.C. Doyle : You slept with the wife of General "Kill-'em-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out" Richardson?
David Poole : I thought it was his daughter.
Capt. T.C. Doyle : Oh yeah, he would've been fine with that.
-
David Poole : [after Cahill and Doyle's argument almost throws Farley off the bridge] Yep. I'm REAL happy about my decision to stick with you guys.
-
David Poole : Deal. And, uh, Gilman? I'd still have somebody taste your food.
-
Capt. T.C. Doyle : Poole? Can you get me some more of that water buffalo tranquilizer?
David Poole : Really enjoyed that, didn't you Doyle? Linh was right, you ARE weird.
-
David Poole : You know something? This country's really beautiful.
Sp5 Lawrence Farley : Yeah. Kind of reminds me of home.
David Poole : [suddenly acid] Oh, really? How exactly does this remind you of home?
Sp5 Lawrence Farley : Well...
David Poole : No, Farley, tell me, what is it? The spirit-crushing humidity? The disease-bearing insects? Or is it that special feeling that comes from the knowledge that at any given moment, a sniper's bullet could come spiralling towards your forehead?
-
David Poole : Gilman, may I remind you that I have friends who have absolutely no regard for the sanctity of human life? I pick up the phone, I have your head in a bag on my desk tomorrow morning.

Capt. T.C. Doyle : Poole, where are you going?
David Poole : Saigon!
Capt. T.C. Doyle : Get back here!
Capt. Sam Cahill : Poole, do you want me to call General Richardson?
David Poole : [turns around] Yeah, Cahill! Yeah, I do! Call General Richardson!I'll get him on the phone for you right now! Because I am sick and tired...
[He fumbles with his radio set, then just drops it]
David Poole : That's it! I've had it! I was on a plane that almost crashed, I came this close to being killed by an angry mob, and now look at my uniform! It's covered in elephant crap! So you really think I give a damn whether or not you call General Richardson, and tell him I slept with his wife, huh?

Capt. T.C. Doyle : [about the water buffalo tranquilizer] Well, how are we gonna get her to swallow one of these?
David Poole : Well, she's not supposed to... swallow it.
Capt. T.C. Doyle : Oh, no...
Capt. Sam Cahill : [laughs and pushes the pillbox into Poole's hands] Well, Dr. David Poole...
David Poole : Oh, no. No, no, no, no. I said I would help you guys out, but putting my hand up an elephant's ass was never part of the deal.
Capt. Sam Cahill : On three.
Capt. T.C. Doyle : [whispering] Oh, no... please, please, please...
[louder]
Capt. T.C. Doyle : What do you got?
Capt. Sam Cahill : Evens.
Capt. T.C. Doyle : Okay.
[They shoot for it, and Doyle loses. Poole smirks and hands him the pillbox]

[the team stops in a village, and one of the villagers asks Poole what they need]
David Poole : [in Vietnamese] I need to get to Saigon. These men have kidnapped me.
Capt. Sam Cahill : Poole, I speak the language.
David Poole : [laughs nervously] It was a joke.
Capt. Sam Cahill : Any more joking... I'll call you-know-who.

Goddard : Would anyone like some wine?
David Poole , Harvey (H.A.) Ashford : Yeah!
Capt. T.C. Doyle : Wine? No! What is this, the opening of an art gallery? The Green Beret motto is "Live Free or Die!" not "Eat, Drink and Be Merry!"
Capt. Sam Cahill : [as Goddard uncorks a jug] Yeah, now it is!
Capt. T.C. Doyle : [skyward] What did I do? What did I do?

[preparing to jump out of the cargo plane]
Capt. Sam Cahill : Stand by...!
Harvey (H.A.) Ashford : Ready?
Sp5 Lawrence Farley : Yeah.
Harvey (H.A.) Ashford : Okay.
Capt. Sam Cahill : Go, go, go!
David Poole : Uh, I can't go, guys, I left something back inside...
[Harvey and Farley exchange a look...]
David Poole : I'm an office guy, man, I work in an office...
[they grab him and all three tumble out of the plane together]
David Poole : ... *behind a desk!*
