Eric Marsh quotes from Only the Brave (2017)

You got something to say to me before you walk out that door?

Eric Marsh

Well, I guess I said some shit last night I shouldn't have.

Yeah. You did. Why?

Eric Marsh

Because.

Because what?

Eric Marsh

'Cause... you're smarter than I am, especially when we squabble. And it pisses me off.

Well, I can appreciate that.

Eric Marsh

I bet you can.

Fire's making a run for our line, and by the time she gets here she's going to be too strong to hold. Gonna crown that ridge, spot over and run straight into town. If we back burn this side of the mountain, by the time that bitch comes over it won't have no fuel to feed into.

That's a god-awful idea. All the conditions favor the fire, and when that blaze comes down that mountain it's gonna kick your ass and use your burn to get even stronger, we won't be able to stop it.

Eric Marsh

Well our line's not gonna hold unless we burn it off.

Well then slow it down until we get more resources up here.

Eric Marsh

What you don't understand sir...

What you don't understand is forty years, son. I was on the job when you were still shitin' yellow, so if you think you're gonna to make a big move and impress me, i'm tellin' you right now, don't!

Eric Marsh

Due respect sir, you are just an observer, so let us do our job...

No, you...

Eric Marsh

No no no! Step off, now! Step... off!
