Most scenes together: Nelson & Twombly (4), General William Garrison & Harrell (3), Sergeant Matt Eversmann & Hoot (2)
You know, it's kind of funny. Beautiful beach, beautiful sun... this could almost be a good place to visit.
Almost.
You don't think we should be here.
You know what I think? It don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.
The humvees ain't coming back, dude.
What? Were we supposed to go to them?
I thought they were supposed to come to us.
I think we're supposed to go to them.
Shit.
Okay, let's go to the crash site.
Okay. Just don't fire that thing so close to my head. I can barely hear as it is.
Shit! Get down! (He fires a long burst inches above Nelson's head.)
What did I just tell you? I swear to God if you do that again -- (Twombly fires on another group of armed Somalis; Nelson screams.)
You okay? Nelson, you all right?
WHAT?!?
We still got guys inside.
All right, all right. I'm gonna go to the crash.
You take the rest of the team, I'll finish loading the prisoners.
Negative! We'll proceed to the crash site together, secure the perimeter, and wait for the humvees. Roger, sir?
Roger that.
Follow my lead. Sergeant, are you receiving me?
Yeah, I heard you. We should be leaving soon.
All right, we need to move out now! I'll finish loading the prisoners and pick you up at the crash site.
Let's move out!
"Well, you tell the general this: I understand, but it is my duty to remind him that my men are surrounded by thousands of armed Somali militia. It is imperative that we move them out of the hostile area and into the safe zone. I need his help now."
Sgt. Yurek We gotta go.
Shawn - Shawn, listen. Sergeant Yurek's gonna run first. Now, when he gets across the street, he's gonna turn around and he's gonna cover you as you run. Okay? Listen closely: when you get there, you are gonna turn around and you're gonna cover me. Okay?
Now, you're not just gonna run to Eversmann's position. You're gonna stop, you're gonna turn around, and you are gonna cover me. It's important you understand that. Okay, you ready?
Yurek Yeah, I guess.
WHAT?
Sgt. Lorenzo Ruiz "Don't go out without me. Don't go back out there without me. I can still do my job."
"Tenth Mountain? No! Sir, with all due respect, my Rangers can provide rear security. We'll walk you out of the hot zone and then jump on the last few vehicles."
Ruiz? Sergeant?
Sgt. Ruiz (weakly): Captain.
Lorenzo, how you doing?
Ruiz It went in and out, so the medic said I should be okay in a couple of days.
That's great news.
Ruiz Are we going after them?
You bet your ass we will! We gotta regroup.
Ruiz Don't go out there without me. Don't go back out there without me. I can still do my job.
Cpl. Kurth I don't know about you guys, but I was trained to fight. Were you trained to fight, Sergeant?
Well, I think I was trained to make a difference, Kurth.
"We just lost the initiative."
"You did what we were trained to do. You should be proud of that. Be proud of that."
"Son of a bitch... Romeo 6-4, We're right back where we started. I'm running low on ammo, I got many wounded including me, and vehicles that are barely running."
All right, get in that truck and drive.
But I'm shot, Colonel!
Everybody's shot! We need the prisoners. Let's go!
CWO Goffena C-2, I have two Delta snipers, Shughart and Gordon, volunteering to secure crash site two. Over.
No, Super Six-Two, negative that request. Can't risk another bird. We don't see anything moving down there now. We don't even know if anyone's alive. A ground team is being organized to go in now.
Goffena E.T.A. on ground team? Over.
Ah, unknown, not long. Do what you can from the air.
That's right - none of you Americans smoke anymore. You all live long, dull, uninteresting lives."
