A scene from The Expendables 2 2012
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]
