Gunner Jensen
[The crew is in the air and Gunner making strange grunting noise to get Maggie's attention despite being seated far apart]
She's into me.
Hale Caesar
She hates you.
Gunner Jensen
Watch this. [Feigns coughing and Maggie just stares at him unimpressed and Hale makes a throat slashing gesture with a razor blade]
Lee Christmas
[To Barney]
You know, if something happens to her, it's coming back on us. Did you ever think to ask for my opinion?
Barney Ross
I told you ten times before, I didn't have a choice, unless you don't mind going to jail.
Lee Christmas
Yeah, well, Church intimidated you.
Barney Ross
Really?
Lee Christmas
Yeah.
Barney Ross
[Lee's phone rings]
Oh, is that the woman you can never fully trust, calling again?
Lee Christmas
[To Barney]
You know, I will stab you one day. [To Lacy] Hey baby. Yeah, course I'm thinking about you. What else to think about? [Makes thumbs-down gesture to Barney]
Barney Ross
[Scoffs]
Hopeless.
...
Maggie
[To Bill]
Hey. You were in the Army, right? I can tell.
Bill 'The Kid' Timmons: Yes, ma'am. Three years. Last tour was Afghanistan, Kunar Province.
Maggie
Didn't like it anymore?
Bill 'The Kid' Timmons: Uhh... long story.
Maggie
Bill 'The Kid' Timmons: All right. I, uh, I was trained as sniper, and as an instructor, too. But, I actually wanted to mix it up, get in on the action. Uh, this one time, we're stuck out in this hell-hole valley. About 30 Taliban opened up from these house above us. And they got about eight of us pinned down bad. So I called in for artillery support. But; "no way", says the captain. Didn't wanna endanger the locals. So we scattered. Some crawled to a ditch, some... to the dry riverbed and the rest bailed, but... we were still stuck in the kill zone. And we battled for... I don't know, three hours. And finally, an Apache gunship chopper showed up to provide air cover. Scattered the Hadjis, but... smoke clears and four of my squad are dead in the ditch and two in the riverbed. Yeah, I was... mad and sick, all dead for nothing. You know, the most... screwed thing up of all... is when I got back to base that night, I found out that they shot this stray dog I had adopted. Commander's orders to get rid of all animals on the base. I mean, you'd think we had enough damn shooting for one day, you know? And, anyway, I, uh, I figured it was time to move on. I heard these guys were looking for someone, and here I am. [Maggie looks down and back heartfelt]
Toll Road
[Eating some spoiled food]
Oh. This tastes like shit. [To Caesar] How's yours?
Hale Caesar
Can't complain about rigatoni. Plan ahead, fellas. That's all I have to say. Y'all, what if you knew you were going to die tomorrow? What would your last meal be? One choice.
Toll Road
One choice?
Hale Caesar
It'd probably be cereal for you, huh?
Toll Road
What the hell's wrong with cereal?
Gunner Jensen
It's cliché.
Hale Caesar
You gotta be original. You know, if you were an original, broad-thinking man, you'd probably come up with some special cereal, like Earios. You know, just like your ear. You know, pour milk on them suckers, they just lay there and you don't hear shit.
Toll Road
For the record, my hearing is 20/20.
Hale Caesar
Barney?
Barney Ross
Donuts and most food that kills ya.
Hale Caesar
That's deep, man.
Barney Ross
[Chuckles]
You think so?
Hale Caesar
Maggie?
Maggie
Crispy aromatic duck with plum sauce. Very sexy. [Pauses] But I like Italian, too.
Hale Caesar
I'm starting to think Italian's overrated. [Everyone laughs]
Gunner Jensen
Hey. What about me? My favorite Swedish dinner would be, baby seal, and whale ass, in the summer. [To Maggie] But I'd really die for some Chinese.
Barney Ross
Then you're gonna starve to death. [Everyone laughs]
Maggie
Can I ask you something?
Barney Ross
Sure, go ahead.
Maggie
Why are you so nervous around me?
Barney Ross
I don't get nervous, Maggie.
Maggie
Then what is it?
Barney Ross
I just like keeping a distance.
Maggie
Is it because you don't want to know anymore people?
Barney Ross
Let's just say bad things have happened to people I've gotten close to.
Maggie
Not a good way to live.
Barney Ross
[Nods]
I know.
Lee Christmas
[Flying in onto Vilain's paramilitary]
Boom time?!
Barney Ross
Boom time! [Lee readies cannon] Target in sight!
Lee Christmas
Baby wants to travel!
Barney Ross
Fire!
Lee Christmas
Rock and roll!
Barney Ross
Fire!
Hale Caesar
Bombs away! [Drops explosives barrel] Tighten up!
Maggie
What's happening now?!
Lee Christmas
Chaos! [To Barney] You're not doing what I think you're doing?!
Barney Ross
Yeah, I am!
Lee Christmas
Let's do it! [Barney intentionally rams and crash lands his plane into the plutonium mine, Maggie nearly falls out and Gunnar saves her] You're gonna need a new plane.
Maggie
I'm so sorry.
Barney Ross
I believe you. What was in the case?
Maggie
A computer. Blueprint of a mine.
Barney Ross
A mine? [Shouts] What mine?!
Maggie
The Russians stored nearly 5 tons of weapon-grade plutonium. The mine was abandoned after the Cold War. No one knows it's there. The blueprint shows where the plutonium is stored. We want to stop it before it gets into the wrong hands.
Lee Christmas
I guess that didn't happen, did it? This kid so some dirt-bag can make bombs.
Maggie
I'm so sorry.
Barney Ross
Not as sorry as I am. [Referring to Bill] Let's take care of him.
...
Barney Ross
[Barney is holding an impromptu funeral service for Bill] [Reading letter aloud]
"Dear Sophia, I wish I could find something different to do besides than just miss you, but I can't. The team's treating me good. We got each other's backs. And I want you to know that wherever I end up, I'll be wanting the very best for you. And if some miracle happens, and I come back again, I hope I am still your man. Much love, Billy." [To the crew] Why is it that one of us, who wants to live the most, who deserves to live the most, dies? And the ones who deserves to die, keep on living? What's the message in that?
Lee Christmas
What's the plan?
Barney Ross
Track him, find him, kill him.
Church
Did you win?
Barney Ross
I think so.
Trench
Well, where's the proof?
Barney Ross
[Pulls out Vilain's head in a bag]
Heads up. [Throws head onto the ground]
Trench
Nice touch.
Barney Ross
Mm-hm.
Church
It is a nice touch. A little extreme, but nice.
Trench
Mm-hm.
Church
As much as I hate to say this, bam-bam, now that we got control of the plutonium, that makes us even.
Barney Ross
Good.
Church
So Maggie, you'll be coming with us? [She's silent] When you're ready. [He and Trench walk away and then stop to observe, with Maggie still watching]
Barney Ross
So, I just want... [Barney realises Maggie is still watching Church and Trench and he makes a go-away-gesture to them]
Church
Wow. [They walk to helicopter]
Barney Ross
They're okay, just a little immature.
Maggie
I don't have to go. If you want me to stay, I'll stay. And I did save the babysitter's life.
Barney Ross
That you did do.
Maggie
Maybe I'm good luck for you.
Barney Ross
But I could be bad luck for you, and I can't allow that.
Maggie
If you ever want help... call me, or you're dead.
Barney Ross
I'll do that. [They walk to helicopter]
