Chris Kyle [whispers to himself as he points his rifle at an Iraqi boy carrying an RPG launcher]
Don't pick it up... [pause] Drop it! [his finger starts trembling on the trigger. The boy eventually drops the RPG and he sighs in relief]

Hello?
Chris Kyle Baby?
Baby I can't hear you!
Chris Kyle I'm ready. I'm ready to come home. I'm ready to come home baby!
Instructor #2
D, what are you still doing in my line trying to make this team? Everybody knows black guys don't swim!
'D': It's alright, sir. I'm not black!
Instructor #2
No?
'D': No I'm the new black. We run slow, we jump low, we swim good, and we shop at Gap. And I make the white folk proud, and I hose down their ladies. I dick 'em down!
Marc Lee You got some kind of savior complex?
Chris Kyle No. I just want to get the bad guys, but if I can't see them I can't shoot them.
Chris Kyle I'm not redneck; I'm Texan!
What's the difference?
Chris Kyle We ride horses, they ride their cousins.
Did you always want to be a soldier?
Chris Kyle I wanted to be a cowboy, but I did that and felt I needed something more.
So you decided to rescue girls from bars?
Chris Kyle I think I rescued the bar from you.
Chris Kyle [to his pregnant wife]
You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I have an alien growing inside of me.
[Taya cuddles their baby daughter]
I'm making memories by myself. I have no one to share them with.
Chris Kyle Yeah, well, we don't got all our lives forever.
When does that start? Even when you're here, you're not here. I see you, I feel you, but you're not here. [Chris gently takes their daughter from her] I hate the Teams for it. I do. You're my husband. You're the father of my children, but they're the ones that pull you back.
Chris Kyle Yeah, you see, they can't wait, but we can.
[clearly hurt by what he just said]
If you think this war isn't changing you, you're wrong. You can only circle the flames so long. [a tear falls from her eye] It's true.
[Chris puts their daughter in the cradle and leaves the room without another word.]
V.A. Doctor Would you be surprised if I told you that Navy has credited you with... over 160 kills?
V.A. Doctor [Chris hums]
Do you ever think that... you might have seen things or... done some things over there that you wish you hadn't?
Chris Kyle Oh, that's not me. No.
V.A. Doctor What's not you?
Chris Kyle I was just protecting my guys, they were trying to kill... our soldiers and I... I'm willing to meet my Creator and answer for every shot that I took. The thing that... haunts me are all the guys that I couldn't save. Now I'm willing and able to... be there but I'm not, I'm here. I quit.
V.A. Doctor So you wish you could've saved more guys?
Chris Kyle Yes, sir.
V.A. Doctor You can walk down any hall in this hospital. Looks like plenty soldiers need saving.
V.A. Doctor [Chris hums]
You want to take a walk?
Chris Kyle Sure.
Chris Kyle No.
Just tell me. Tell me why you do it. I want to understand.
Chris Kyle Baby, I do it for you. I do it to protect you.
Chris Kyle Yes, I do.
I'm here. Your family is here. Your children have no father.
Chris Kyle I love to serve my country.
Such **** bullshit! You don't know when to quit. You did your part. We sacrificed enough. You let somebody else go!
Chris Kyle Let somebody else go?
Yeah.
Chris Kyle Yeah, well, I couldn't live with myself…
[cutting him off]
Yeah, well, you find a way. You have to. [crying] Okay, I need you to be human again. I need you here. If you leave us again, I don't think we'll be here when you get back.
Chris Kyle Come here. Come here.
[Chris tries to calm her by hugging her. We later see Chris on his fourth tour in Iraq.]
Chris Kyle [hunting down Mustafa]
I got something 1900 yards out.
Army Ranger
****, we can't even see that far out. Hold your fire. You'll expose us all.
'D': He's right. That's a no pointer.
Chris Kyle Correction, It's 2100 yards out.
'D': That's more than a mile. Impossible shot, Chris.
Chris Kyle [after adjusting his scope]
It's him. [into his headset] I got eyes on target. Initiate QRF, over.
Predator operator
Copy that. Quick reaction force 20 minutes out.
Chris Kyle He has eyes on our guys.
'D': Can you confirm it's him?
Chris Kyle It's him. Oh, it's him.
'D': It's your call, Chris.
Army Ranger
Quick reaction force is 20 minutes out. Stand the **** down.
'D': You got it, take it, man.
Chris Kyle Aim small, miss small. Do it for Biggles.
Army Ranger
[Chris fires the shot, which is seen in slow motion, and he kills Mustafa. However, several insurgents have been alerted and start to move towards the team.]
You just **** us, Legend.
Chris Kyle Tango down.
Army Ranger
[into his headset]
We need QRF, ASAP!
'D': Mission accomplished.
Chris Kyle He had eyes on our guys. I took him out.
Army Ranger
Yeah, now we're **** like a football bat.
'D': Biggles would be proud. You did it, Chris.
[the team then enters a huge firefight with the insurgents and barely escape, using a sandstorm as cover.]
