Quotes:

Jack Shaw: The song says, There must be 50 ways to leave your lover? Make it 51.

Annibal Ramirez: I nearly killed some little kid's father today. I don't know about anything anymore.::Jack Shaw: He was a baseball dad! He deserved it!

Jack Shaw: Don't think of it as cheating on your wife. Think of it as... fuckin' for your flag.::Amos: When in doubt, close your eyes and think of England.

Maura Ramirez: You started smoking again?::Annibal Ramirez: Yeah. I'll be doing heroin soon.

Jack Shaw: What did Darth Vader say to Luke Skywalker? Come over to the dark side. Come over, Annibal. You have no idea of the power we have.

Jack Shaw: I'm not the madam, kid. I'm just one of the whores, just like you.

Carlos the Jackal: Who are you?::Annibal Ramirez: I'm you, motherfucker.

Annibal Ramirez: What do you think is out there, Maura? A safe little world with your shopping malls, you little league and ballet lessons? Hey! People are killing, Maura. And I'm one of them. Not neat and surgical like firing a missle from some sub but close enough so his brains splattered on me. And they weren't even the enemy Maura. It was to keep from blowing a cover. I've killed men, I let a friend die, I betrayed everything I've ever believed in. And yes, I've fucked other women. And you know what's worse? I've made you and the children a target because someone out there is going to kill you unless I kill him first. That's my job, Mona. And if you don't mind, I'm late for work.

Carlos the Jackal: That woman was so much in love with me that if I asked her to suck my uncle's dick she would do it! Smiling!

Jack Shaw: [after Annibal protests his treatment and training] Acting like a tight-ass Navy brass is exactly what will get you killed.
