  [shoots Col. Bobi] 

• Customs Officer : [finding two large bottles of whisky in Shannon's luggage]  Do you have a drinking problem, Mr Brown?

  Shannon : I thought there might be a problem with the water.

  Customs Officer : [confiscating one of the bottles]  There is.

• Shannon : [to the other mercenaries]  Remember; you have to make it home to get paid.

• Col. Bobi : [of his troops]  They'll die for Zangaro!

  Shannon : Be more help to me if they fight.

  Col. Bobi : If there is one who doesn't, I'll take his head and mount it on the palace gates.

  Shannon : You and your brother both have the same easy way of doing business.

  Col. Bobi : Olu Kimba did not do business. So now Sekou Bobi will be president. He wants to be God... I want to be RICH!

• Drew : [Shannon is recruiting men]  Count me in; I'll go.
