Movie quotes

  • (..) The guerrillas skinned them? Why did they skin them? Ain't no way for no soldier to die. - What happened here, Billy? - Strange, Major. There was a firefight. They were shooting in all directions. I can't believe Hopper walked into an ambush. I don't believe he did. I can't find a single track. (..)
