Lee Christmas
So you like knives, huh?
Doc
I'm the knife before Christmas.
A line from Lee Christmas
You were stupid enough to get yourself into this mess! And we're the only ones crazy enough to get you out of it!
Scenes with Lee Christmas
10 scenes Lee Christmas
Doc
Lee Christmas
You look like a proud, demented father.
Barney Ross
You could've skipped the demented part.
Lee Christmas
That was a compliment. [They laugh and fist-bump]
Barney Ross
I missed you, Christmas.
Lee Christmas
I missed you too, you demented bastard.
Barney Ross
You could've left out the demented part.
Galgo
[Barney is doing maintenance work on a plane engine with Galgo is singing and marching in place]
I am the bridgegroom of death. The lyrics of a Spanish Legion old songs. That we used to sing when we're on mission in Croatia. That's where I met Mingo. The best point man ever. Some kind of savant. You don't know. The best team member ever, was Torres. Holy shit! You wouldn't believe what this guy could to do. Un. Bel. Ievable. I'm telling you, man. Ambush this guy couldn't sniff. And under fire, the coolest cat ever. Just pure ice in his veins. We were pinned down once, like two bullets left. I looked over, not on bead of sweat. [Gestures totally mesmerized] Yeah. Can I help you up there?
Barney Ross
You're a mechanic now?
Galgo
Of course I am a mechanic. I am whatever you need me to be, sir.
Barney Ross
Okay then, just be quiet.
Galgo
Yes, sir.
...
Galgo
Tiger, this guy I knew, I mean, this guy had it all figured out. Wind speed, temperature, barometric pressure. But you know what he said was the most important?
Barney Ross
No.
Galgo
Patience.
Barney Ross
Really?
Galgo
Yeah. He said that. This thing smells good, what is that? Kerosene? Gasoline?
Barney Ross
Aviation fuel.
Galgo
[Impressed]
Aviation fuel. It's good.
...
Barney Ross
Galgo?
Galgo
Yes, sir.
Barney Ross
I think I know why your team let you go.
Galgo
You do? Really? [Climb ladder and breaks the fourth wall looking into camera with a fist pump] Yes! [Goes in plane]
...
Barney Ross
[Plane is taxiing to runway]
Last chance. You sure you wanna do this?
Galgo
[Holds up gun and **** it]
I like traveling.
Barney Ross
Good.
Galgo
[A row of men block the plane's path]
Uh, who are those guys?
Barney Ross
My old team. [Sticks head out window] What the hell are you doing here?
Lee Christmas
You were stupid enough to get yourself into this mess. We're the only ones crazy enough to get you out of it.
Barney Ross
Come on. We're late for a war. [The crew walks to plane] Galgo, you might want to get out of that seat, Christmas is coming.
Galgo
But it's June.
Barney Ross
Galgo, get out the hell out.
Galgo
Yes sir. [Hesitates] My hat. [Leaves]
Lee Christmas
Since, when did suicide become your hobby?
Barney Ross
I got a will.
Lee Christmas
You know, I'm probably the only friend you got.
Barney Ross
I got lots of friends.
Lee Christmas
You walk into a room, people jump on the tables.
Barney Ross
I missed you, Christmas.
Lee Christmas
I miss you too, you demented bastard.
Barney Ross
You could've left it demented.
Galgo
It's a kind of solid structure that is taking us from one place to another through unbelievable speeds. Think about it. If God- if God -if he knew he would've liked, you know, flying. Then he would've given us feathers. Do you have feathers. I don't have feathers.
Toll Road
It's gonna be a long ass flight fellas.
Galgo
It's going to be. It's going to be a very long flight, but don't worry, I'm here because I can't sleep on planes.
Drummer
Thought you should know Barney, you're walking into a shitstorm. NSA ran signals and frequencies check on your team's phones. This bastard's not even trying to hide them.
Barney Ross
Where has he taken them?
Drummer
They're in Azmanastan.
Lee Christmas
Another honey hotspot.
Drummer
Who is that?!
Lee Christmas
Lee Christmas.
Drummer
Not far off Christmas. Stonebank's compound is where he trains his goons. It's very heavily fortified.
Lee Christmas
What's up with the local army?
Drummer
I don't understand a word this guy is saying.
Lee Christmas
Local army status.
Drummer
Small, corrupt. Stonebank's got all the brass in his pocket. Been running his operations through this shithole of a country for years. Want some advice?
Lee Christmas
What's the advice?
Drummer
What goddamn language is that?
Barney Ross
They don't teach you that on the language stage either.
Lee Christmas
Look who's talking?
Barney Ross
What's the advice Drummer?
Drummer
Forget about what you're thinking. Remember our deal. We need him alive.
Barney Ross
So he can sit in a courtroom and beat this on a technicality?
Drummer
Those are orders Barney. [Barney throws phone over shoulder in frustation]
Lee Christmas
You broke the phone.
Barney Ross
I got another one.
Lee Christmas
Think we'll make it back from this one?
Barney Ross
You didn't have to make it back from this one Christmas.
Lee Christmas
Sure I did. Morons need friends.
Barney Ross
Lucky ring on!
Lee Christmas
Feel so much safer.
Mars
[Regarding the old Expendables]
Bunch of has-beens still trying to be hard.
Lee Christmas
You're young and you're dumb!
Lee Christmas
[Christmas and Doc throw knives at a dartboard, both hitting the bullseye]
Not bad...
Doc
[Doc's knife falls off]
Oooooh... Best two out of three?
Barney Ross
You know, it's very hard for me to say this, but at one time, you guys were the best. Maybe still are. But nothing lasts forever. Hard as it is to hear, we aren't the future any more. Unfortunately for us, we're part of the past.
Lee Christmas
You, uh, you done swingin' with us?
Barney Ross
As I see it, if we keep this life up, the only way this thing ends, for all of us, is in a hole in the ground, and no one giving a shit. Now if that's the way I'm supposed to go out, I can live with that. For me. But what I can't live with - and won't live with - is taking you with me.
