David Poole (on his cb radio)
Gilman, may I remind you that I have friends who have absolutely no regard for the sanctity of human life? I pick up the phone, I have your head in a bag on my desk tomorrow morning.

(the group has stopped on the bridge after the truck quits, Poole starts walking in the opposite direction)
Poole, where are you going?
Poole (stalking off)
Saigon!
Get back here!
Cahill Poole, do you want me to call General Richardson?
Poole (turns around)
Yeah, Cahill! Yeah, I do! Call General Richardson!I'll get him on the phone for you right now! Because I am sick and tired... (tries to get the radio set open and just drops it, fuming) That's it! I've had it! I was on a plane that almost crashed, I came this close to being killed by an angry mob, and now look at my uniform! It's covered in elephant crap! So you really think I give a damn whether or not you call General Richardson, and tell him I slept with his wife, huh?
(stops working on the truck, turns around, almost laughing)
You slept with the wife of General "Kill-'em-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out" Richardson?
Poole I thought it was his daughter.
Oh yeah, he would've been fine with that.
Poole You know something? This country's really beautiful.
Farley Yeah. Kind of reminds me of home.
Poole (bitingly)
Oh, really? How exactly does this remind you of home?
Farley Well...
Poole No, Farley, tell me, what is it? The spirit-crushing humidity? The disease-bearing insects? Or is it that special feeling that comes from the knowledge that at any given moment, a sniper's bullet could come spiralling towards your forehead?
