Quotes:
Damon Schmidt: [to Janet Mayes while preparing her to meet the Saudi Prince] Can we dial down the boobies?
[before breaking open a door in terrorist apartment]::Ronald Fleury: Which side do you think Allah's on?::Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: We are about to find out!
Ronald Fleury: [refering to the Six Million Dollar Man] That's my shit.::Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: [confused] You need bathroom?
Adam Leavitt: It's LEH-vitt, not Le' Vesque. I'm not a goddamn French-Canadian.
[last lines]::Adam Leavitt: Fleury. Tell me what you whispered to Janet, in the briefing, to get her to stop crying about Fran, you know, before all this, before we even got airborne. What'd you say to her?::Aunt: Tell me, what did your grandfather whisper in your ear before he died?::Adam Leavitt: You remember?::Ronald Fleury: I told her we were gonna kill 'em all.::15-Year-Old Grandson: Don't fear them, my child. We are going to kill them all.
Attorney General Gideon Young: I'm gonna bury you.::FBI Director James Grace: You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what. You should do the same.
Adam Leavitt: Need a little check? Huh? Ah, you big queer!
Ronald Fleury: Does he know where Bin Laden is? That would be a huge promotion for me.
