T.K. Poole: You don't talk about plane crashes while on a plane!
Colee Dunn: Why not?
Fred Cheaver: For the same reason that when you're on a cruise ship they don't play "Titanic". It scares people.
Janet: [In a heavy Southern drawl] Ah think ah'm fixin' to cum!
Bob: [Trying to prove something to his anti-war relative] So what are we fighting for over there?
Fred Cheaver: Well, we're just fighting to stay alive.
Bob: [Surprised and disgusted] Well with attitudes like that it's no wonder we're losing!
T.K. Poole: What you really want after a fight is whisky 'cause it mellows you out.
T.K. Poole: If you want to get mean you drink gin.
T.K. Poole: Vodka if you want to zone out and you save tequila for when you want to get crazy

Fred Cheaver: Tikrit.

Colee Dunn: [sobbing]
Fred Cheaver: Listen. How about you stop crying and we will stop?
Colee Dunn: What do you mean?
Fred Cheaver: You have been wanting to sight seeing, right?
Colee Dunn: Yeah?
Fred Cheaver: Ok, so we will go somewhere, do something.
Colee Dunn: Can we have a picnic?
Fred Cheaver: pauses
T.K. Poole: Yeah, picnic, whatever.
Fred Cheaver: Yeah!
Fred Cheaver: [T.K. has overcome the wound in his groin] You are one lucky bastard, T.K.
Colee Dunn: [T.K. is checking her wound] Have you done this before?
T.K. Poole: No. But sometimes you gotta put things out just to get things done, you know?
Colee Dunn: So how long do you have off?
T.K. Poole: 30 days.
Colee Dunn: Me too!

Colee Dunn: Yeah, definitely wood!
Fred Cheaver: So we dont need these ladies anymore?
Colee Dunn: No, He is all fixed up. He could pound nail with that thing.
Fred Cheaver: Pound a nail? How do you know that? Have you touched it?
Colee Dunn: No, I didnt have to, it was just poking right into me. Its a miracle!
Fred Cheaver: You are one lucky bastard T.K.
Colee Dunn: [looks at T.K. and Cheaver] Hey, we're from the same team!
T.K. Poole: You gotta give us those pills, we're not gonna let you off yourself.
Colee Dunn: If you kill yourself, Cheaver, do you know where you go?
Fred Cheaver: Um... Hell?
Colee Dunn: Worse. The Lake of Fire.
Fred Cheaver: "Lake of Fire"?
Colee Dunn: Yeah, you don't want to go there.
Fred Cheaver: I feel like I'm in it.
Colee Dunn: Is it working?
T.K. Poole: What?
Colee Dunn: Is it working?
T.K. Poole: As a matter of fact, yeah, its working pretty good.
Colee Dunn: That is great!
Colee Dunn: [Hugs T.K] Uhm, yeah, okey, yep, that is working! Uhm, that is great. Wow. We should get out.
Colee Dunn: Thank you, Cheaver.
Fred Cheaver: No. Thank you.
T.K. Poole: [Is being advised by Cheaver to go to Canada] Anyone who goes to Canada is a coward!
Fred Cheaver: You'd be a living coward, though.
Colee Dunn: [a tornado is coming towards the car] T.K. if you stay in the car you'll die!
T.K. Poole: If I get out of the car I might die!

T.K. Poole: The key is listening to the signals and hearing what they're saying. If she touches you soft, that's how she wants to be touched. You do that until you can hear her get wet. You gotta know women. I'm serious, the last time I went home, my girlfriend was so grateful she went right outside and started washing my car. Detailed it. Everything. Just to thank me.
