Quotes 

  • Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : [intentionally antagonizing him]  Yee-haw! What's on your mind, Hillbilly?

    Cameron Poe : What was I thinking about? Oh, yeah, "yee-haw", that's right. I was just wondering what a black militant - that would be you - was doin' takin' orders from a white boy on a power trip? Don't you think that's strange?

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : It's a means to an end, my white friend. A means to an end. See, I's can play house nigger tills we get to where we're goin'. And then, the Day of the Dog begins.

  • Francisco Cindino : [in the cockpit of the plane]  Don't they have a way of tracking these planes?

    Swamp Thing : Oh, yeah. It's called a transponder. Every plane's got one, Cindino.

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : [sarcastic]  Swamp, where is the transponder?

    Cyrus Grissom : [looks at the empty bay]  Ah! Where, indeed?

  • Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : [Holding 3 guards at gun point, singing]  Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home...

    Cameron Poe : What's going on here?

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : It's time to off the pigs.

    Cameron Poe : You can't.

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : Why not?

    Cameron Poe : They're hostages, we need them.

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : [Points the gun at Poe]  Now why the fuck do you care?

    Cameron Poe : Hey, man. I can think of anything I'd like...

    [Kicks the first guard] 

    Cameron Poe : ...better, than to put a...

    [Kicks the second guard] 

    Cameron Poe : ...bullet, into the brain-base here of every one of these...

    [Kicks the third guard] 

    Cameron Poe : FUCKERS! But the fact of the matter is how well do you know this Cindino? I don't know him that well, myself. Just what I read. Like how he firebombed that Senator's yacht with 2 of his cousins on board. Now, why would think he'd sweat about eliminating some hired guns after they have served their purpose, now think about that.

    Cyrus Grissom : [while pacing back and forth on the wing of the plane]  What exactly are we discussing here?

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : Poe don't want me to off the pigs.

    Cyrus Grissom : [to Poe]  Well, it's not difficult to surmise how Nathan here feels about killing guards. And my own proclivities are, uh... well-known and, uh, often-lamented facts of penal lore. What I'm wonderin' is why you have any opinion about it at all.

    Cameron Poe : Hey, Cyrus. It's your barbecue man, and it tastes good. But I was just explaining to Mr.

    [Points to Diamond Dog] 

    Cameron Poe : "Dog" here that if it was my barbecue, I would wait for that ol' jumbo jet in the sky before I start killing my only leverage.

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : Shut the fuck up.

    Cameron Poe : Don't you want to get high and get laid, shit.

    Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones : [Picks up a guard]  Oh, fuck this.

    Cyrus Grissom : [Seeing Diamond Dog about to kill the guard]  Put the gun down. Put the gun down, Nathan! Poe's right. We're going to plan B. We're going to get a tractor and a fuel truck, get everybody here, and we're going to dig the plane out.

    [Poe winks at Diamond Dog]
