  Jed Eckert : He did. Now get your rifles.

  Danny : Nobody shoots them.

  Darryl Bates : We need food.

• Matt Eckert : [after Toni and Robert are KIA, the Eckert Brothers plan a diversion while Danny and Erica cross the enemy lines]  We're all that's left. Somebody's gotta live. Somebody's gotta make it. Me and Jed, we're all used up.

  Erica : I'm never gonna forget... as long as I live.

  Matt Eckert : Don't.

  Danny : You're never gonna know who won.

  Matt Eckert : Who WILL?

• Danny : [at the Wolverines' funeral for Colonel Andy Tanner and Arturo "Aardvark" Mondracon]  These were good friends. Take them away from here... someplace safe... where this world's war never happened. And as we remember... please let them forget, O Lord... so they can be little again.

• Danny : You got a family?

  Col. Andy Tanner : [long pause]  I don't know. They got - caught behind the lines down in Texas. I like to think they're alive; but, I hear stories about what they're doin' to civilians.

• Matt Eckert : [after their flight from Calumet, Jed is fixing the radiator on his pickup-truck]  Did you get it?

  Jed Eckert : Yeah, I got it. Only thing is, we got one problem: we don't have any water.

  Matt Eckert : How about pissing in it?

  Jed Eckert : That's a good idea. Get up here.

  [laughs] 

  Danny : How do you know it'll work?

  Jed Eckert : How old are you, kid?

  Danny : Fifteen. And the name's Danny, not "kid."

  Jed Eckert : Well, when you grow up... then you'll know these things, Danny. Now get up here and piss in the radiator.

• Jed Eckert : My family would want me to stay alive. Your family would want you to stay alive. You think you're so smart, man, but you're just a bunch of scared kids.

  Danny : So what do you think *you* are?

  Jed Eckert : ...Alone, I guess.

  Matt Eckert : [comes and stands with him]  No, you're not.

• Erica : [to Stepan]  Sprechen sie Deutsch?

  Matt Eckert : So what if he does? You don't.

  Stepan Gorsky : Gorsky, Stepan Yevgenyvitch...!

  Robert : NOBODY GIVES A DAMN WHO YOU ARE!

  [He and his fellow Wolverines proceed to beat up Stepan] 

  Danny : [as he and Toni look on]  They're gonna hurt him!

  Toni : Good!
