Dizzy : My mother always told me that violence doesn't solve anything.
Jean Rasczak : Really? I wonder what the city founders of Hiroshima would have to say about that.
[to Carmen]
Jean Rasczak : You.
Carmen : They wouldn't say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed.
Jean Rasczak : Correct. Naked force has resolved more conflicts throughout history than any other factor. The contrary opinion, that violence doesn't solve anything, is wishful thinking at its worst. People who forget that always die.

Carl : We thought there might be a Brain Bug on 'P'.
Carmen : You knew and still you sent them?
Carl : We couldn't afford to launch an operation if there wasn't one.
[both Carmen and Johnny look at Carl with contempt]
Carl : You disapprove? Well, too bad! We're in this war for the species, boys and girls. It's simple numbers. They have more. And every day I have to make decisions that send hundreds of people like you to their deaths.
Johnny Rico : Didn't they tell you, Colonel? That's what the Mobile Infantry is good for.

Newsreel announcer : We have the ships. We have the weapons. We need soldiers. Soldiers like Lieutenant Stack Lumbreiser...
Lt. Lumbreiser : Over the target area now, Captain.
Newsreel announcer : ...and Captain Carmen Ibanez.
Carmen : This is the captain speaking. All personnel prepare for drop.
Newsreel announcer : Soldiers like Private Ace Levy and Lieutenant John Rico.
Johnny Rico : Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?
Newsreel announcer : We need you all. Service guarantees citizenship.

Carmen : Johnny, wait...
Zander : Forget it, Ensign. He's mobile infantry. When you're paid to kill it doesn't pay to be polite.
Johnny Rico : You got something to say about mobile infantry?
Zander : You heard me. You want to make something of it... private?
Johnny Rico : No, sir, not with an officer. The M.I. doesn't mint stupid troopers.
Zander : Then let's disregard rank.
[raising voice to speak to the crowd]
Zander : Everybody hear that? Rank is not an issue here.
Carmen : Zander, please, don't do this.
Zander : Come on, what's he gonna do?
[Zander turns towards Rico, who punches Zander in the jaw]
-
Carmen : Johnny, uh, you remember Zander, don't you?
Zander : From the game today.
[shakes Johnny's hand]
Zander : No hard feelings?
Johnny Rico : None at all. We won.

Carmen : Incoming plasma energy bolts from the planet's surface, ma'am.
Captain Deladier : Bug batteries. According to Military Intelligence, it will be random and light. Drop status?
Zander : Troop drop status is 35% complete, ma'am.
[from the bridge more and more bug plasma energy bolts are seen zoom by, two coming dangerously close to the ship. Carman looks back at Captain Deladier with concern]
Captain Deladier : Steady as she goes, Number Two. Prepare for warp.
-
Carmen : Situation is extremely hostile!
