Darryl Bates : They made me swallow it.
Matt Eckert : Daryl, what have you done?
Darryl Bates : [nearly in tears] I went into town... and got caught.
Jed Eckert : [shaking him and screeching with rage] YOU WENT AND GOT CAUGHT? WHY?

Robert : You told them where we were, didn't you? You told them!
Darryl Bates : [sobbing] No! My father turned me in. Oh God, they do things you can't imagine.

Tom Eckert : Boys.
Matt Eckert : Daddy. Dad.
Tom Eckert : Don't talk. Don't say anything. Let me look at ya. I knew I was right. I knew it. You're alive. I was tough on both of you. I did things that made you, made you hate me sometimes. You understand now, don't you?
Jed Eckert : What happened, Dad? Why are you here? What'd you do?
Tom Eckert : It doesn't matter. One way or another, for one reason or another, we're all gone. It's all gone. Remember. Remember when you used to go in the park and play, and I used to put you two on the swings? Both of you were so damn little.
Jed Eckert : I remember. I remember all of it.
Tom Eckert : Well, I won't be there to pick you up when you fall now. Both of you have to take care of each other now.
Matt Eckert : We'll never see you again, Dad.
Tom Eckert : Yes, you will. I don't want to hear that, Maddy.
Matt Eckert : What happened to mom, Dad? Where is she?
Tom Eckert : She's not here. I don't know where they took her. You can't afford to be crying anymore now. I don't want either one of you to ever cry for me again. Don't ever do it. Not as long as you live.
Robert : Where's my dad, Mr. Eckert? Is he here?
Tom Eckert : I don't know, son. I don't know. You all get going. Get out before they find you.
Jed Eckert : Dad, I love you.
Tom Eckert : I know you do, son. I love you too.
[Tom, Jed, and Robert leave]
Tom Eckert : Boys! Avenge Me! Avenge Me!

Darryl Bates : [Pouring a can of soup in the pot] That's the last of it... except for the olives.
Matt Eckert : We still got plenty of meat left.
Danny : Just stuff you shot.
Matt Eckert : So tell me, dork, where do you suppose hamburgers come from?
Danny : Nobody shoots them.
Darryl Bates : We need food.

Matt Eckert : [after Toni and Robert are KIA, the Eckert Brothers plan a diversion while Danny and Erica cross the enemy lines] We're all that's left. Somebody's gotta live. Somebody's gotta make it. Me and Jed, we're all used up.
Erica : I'm never gonna forget... as long as I live.
Matt Eckert : Don't.
Danny : You're never gonna know who won.
Matt Eckert : Who WILL?
-
Matt Eckert : Why don't you make yourself useful?
Erica : You wash it! We're never doing your washing again! Me and her is as good as any of you!
Matt Eckert : So what's up your ass?
Erica : Shut up! Don't you ever say that again! Hear me? Say that again, I'll kill you! Hear me? I'll kill you.
Matt Eckert : So what did I do?
Toni : What you said was wrong.

Matt Eckert : [after their flight from Calumet, Jed is fixing the radiator on his pickup-truck] Did you get it?
Jed Eckert : Yeah, I got it. Only thing is, we got one problem: we don't have any water.
Matt Eckert : How about pissing in it?
Jed Eckert : That's a good idea. Get up here.
[laughs]
Danny : How do you know it'll work?
Jed Eckert : How old are you, kid?
Danny : Fifteen. And the name's Danny, not "kid."
Jed Eckert : Well, when you grow up... then you'll know these things, Danny. Now get up here and piss in the radiator.

Jed Eckert : My family would want me to stay alive. Your family would want you to stay alive. You think you're so smart, man, but you're just a bunch of scared kids.
Danny : So what do you think *you* are?
Jed Eckert : ...Alone, I guess.
Matt Eckert : [comes and stands with him] No, you're not.

Jed Eckert : [after the deaths of Aardvark and Colonel Tanner] It's kind of strange, isn't it? How the mountains pay us no attention at all. You laugh or you cry... The wind just keeps on blowing.
Matt Eckert : You're getting pretty low on feelings, aren't you?
Jed Eckert : I can't afford them.
Matt Eckert : Even if that had been me instead of Aardvark?
-
Erica : [to Stepan] Sprechen sie Deutsch?
Matt Eckert : So what if he does? You don't.
Stepan Gorsky : Gorsky, Stepan Yevgenyvitch...!
Robert : NOBODY GIVES A DAMN WHO YOU ARE!
[He and his fellow Wolverines proceed to beat up Stepan]
Danny : [as he and Toni look on] They're gonna hurt him!
Toni : Good!

Matt Eckert : I'm your brother. Make it count.
