Bennett
[hearing explosions]

Welcome back, John. So glad you could make it!

Bennett

They offered me a hundred grand. You want to know something? When I found out I could get my hands on you, I said I'd do it for nothing.

Bennett

John, stick your head out, one shot, right between the eyes, I'll make it quick, just for old time sake.

Bennett

Ever since you had me thrown out of your unit, I've waited to pay you back. Do you know what today is Matrix?... Pay day!

Bennett

What does it feel like to be a dying man?... you're a dead man, John!

Bennett

Tranquilizers... I wanted to use the real thing!!

Bennett

You're getting old, John. You're getting old.

Bennett

I can beat you! I don't need the girl! I DON'T NEED THE GIRL! I don't need the gun, John! I can beat you! I DON'T NEED NO GUN! I'M GONNA KILL YOU NOW!

...And if you want your kid back, then you gonna co-operate, right?

WRONG! (shoots him between the eyes)

Scared? Well you should be, 'cos this Green Beret's going to kick your big ass!

I eat Green Berets for breakfast and right now I am VERY hungry!

I can't believe this bunch of macho bull shit.

Soldier

Slitting a little girl's throat is like a warm knife through butter.

Bennett
[to the soldier]

Put the knife away, and shut your mouth.

Bennett
[to Aris]

I love listening to your little piss ant soldiers trying to talk tough, they make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.

My soldiers are patriots.

Bennett

Your soldiers are nothing, Matrix and I could kill every one of them, at the blink of an eye - you remember that.

Are you trying to frighten me Mr Bennett?

Bennett

I don't have to try. When Matrix finishes the job, he'll be back for his daughter - no matter whether she's dead or alive, it doesn't matter. Then he'll be after you, and the only thing between Matrix and you... is me.

I think it is you that is afraid Mr Bennett, you are afraid of Matrix.

Bennett

Of course, I'm smart. But I have an edge, I have his daughter...

Bennett? I thought you were--

Bennett

Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of your unit, I've waited to pay you back. Do you know what today is Matrix? Pay day!
[Bennett fires a tranquilizer at Matrix]

Bennett
[John Matrix, fully restrained in chains, comes out of sedation from being tranquilized. Bennett, Sully, Henriques, and despotic former dictator Arius are staring down at him]

Tranquilizers. I wanted to use the real THING!

Where's Jenny?

[Matrix discovers Arius]

You remember me, Colonel?

I remember you, scumbag! Especially the people you've tortured and killed!

Colonel Matrix, you do not understand a country like Val Verde. It is a country that needs a president who has an understanding of discipline.

Why tell me?

Because you're going to return to Val Verde and you are going to kill the president that you helped to overthrow me.

Why don't you have Bennett do it? Sounds like something he would get off on.

Because President Velasquez trusts you, Colonel. After all, he made you the hero of the revolution. Why, Captain Bennett left, shall we say, uh, under a cloud. Yes?

Yeah, 'cause he enjoyed killing a little TOO much.

Bennett

Your training, Matrix.

You can get close to President Velasquez. You will kill him. You know, Colonel, we went to a lot of trouble to find you. We had to pretend Captain Bennett's death so that General Kirby would become agitated and lead us to you, and now that I have you, you will do exactly as I tell you.

**** you.
