Col. Harrell

(McKnight halts his shot-up convoy at the original start point; his driver, Maddox, has a face full of shrapnel.)

Okay, Danny, I need a no-B.S. assessment here. Can you get to the crash site?

Pvt. Maddox

Colonel? I can't see shit.

Lt.Col. McKnight

Harrell

Roger.

Gen. Garrison

C-2, bring them back. Get them out of there.

Harrell

Roger. Return to base.

McKnight

We're going home!

Eversmann (in disbelief): You're going back in? Hoot There are still men out there. Sergeant Matt Eversmann "Look, these people... they have no jobs, no food, no education, no future. I just figure that you know, I mean, we have two things we can do. We can help, or we can sit back and watch a country destroy itself on CNN. Right?" Sergeant Matt Eversmann "Look, you guys, I know it's my first time as chalk leader, but, uh, this isn't our first time out together. This is serious. We're Rangers, not some sorry-ass JROTC. We're elite. Let's act like it out there."
