Sgt. Holt : How'd you guys get in here?
Specialist Hawkins : We're rats. Tunnel rats.
Cpl. Butler : Tunnel rats? Christ, now we're running a fucking zoo around here!
[enraged, Hawkins punches Butler]
Sgt. Holt : That's enough!
Cpl. Butler : [to Hawkins] Payback's a bitch, rat man!
Sgt. Holt : Put a lid on it, Butler!
Specialist Hawkins : Hey, why don't you guys go jerk off somewhere else? In five minutes, these tunnels are gonna be cramming with gooks and I don't plan on being their main course!

[last lines]
Cpl. Butler : What was that about? What'd he say?
Sgt. Holt : He gave me the code. The real code.
Cpl. Butler : Yeah?
Sgt. Holt : He said we should use it, get the arms shipment... win the war. Can we do it?
Cpl. Butler : [after a pause] Why the hell not?

[during the firefight with the Viet Cong]
Cpl. Butler : We're in trouble now! I'm running low on ammo!
Sgt. Holt : No shit! So am I!
[Adams stops firing and begins banging his fist against his M-16 rifle]
Cpl. Adams : Argh! My fucking gun is jammed again!
Sgt. Holt : Hit it harder!
[after a pause, Adams head-butts his M-16, and after testing it by firing a single round in the air, he resumes firing]

Sgt. Holt : Look, a tunnel!
Cpl. Butler : Tunnel? No way, I hate tunnels! Tunnels are death traps!
[bullets being ricocheting around them]
Sgt. Holt : They're all around us! We're going down!
Cpl. Butler : Oh no no, not me!
Cpl. Adams : You got a better idea?
Cpl. Butler : Yeah! Stay alive!
Sgt. Holt : Good luck!
[Holt and Adams crawl into the tunnel and, after a pause, Butler follows suit]

[points his .45 caliber pistol at Hawkins]
Sgt. Holt : Let's get something straight here! I'm the sergeant... which puts me in command. You got a problem with that?
Spc. Sgt. Hawkins : No.
Sgt. Holt : [to Jenson] Do you?
[Jenson shakes his head meaning 'no']
Sgt. Holt : [lowers his gun] Now that we have a mutual understanding. We need to get out of here. We need food, we need water, and we need ammunition.
Spc. Sgt. Hawkins : I know where you can get some.
Sgt. Holt : How far?
Spc. Sgt. Hawkins : Three... four miles at the most. But we gotta travel underground. It's too damn hot upstairs.
Cpl. Butler : Oh, that's great! That's just fucking great!
Sgt. Holt : [to Hawkins] Why should I trust you?
Spc. Sgt. Hawkins : Because you don't have a choice.
Sgt. Holt : Very well. Lead the way rat man.
