Under Siege quotes

Page 1 of 3

"Commander Krill has become increasingly hostile to the crew possibly due to anger over reviews of his performance. I recommend that he'll be given a psychological evaluation before taking over HIS NEXT ASSIGNMENT!!" Do I look like I need a psychological evaluation?!

Mr. Pitt

Whatever they did, they're smarter than I am. Everything's dead. It's hopeless.

Nothing is hopeless. (puts his gun into Pitt's eye socket) Take heart.

Mr. Pitt

Just give me a little more time, I'll figure it out.

I like your attitude. Excellent.

Tom Breaker

Look, Bill, I know things are a little chaotic for you right now.

Chaotic? Wake up, Tom! You know, and I know, that chaos and bedlam are consuming the entire world! UV light waves are only the beginning, Tom. We have an inch of topsoil left.

Tom Breaker

Topsoil?

Sexually transmitted diseases, deforestation, irreversibly progressive depletion of the global gene pool. It all adds up to oblivion, pal. Governments will fall, anarchies will reign. It's a brave new world.

(Checking Cates' corpse)

The man that did this is a professional. Who is he, and what's he doing running around on my battleship, Mr. Krill?

Your battleship? You wouldn't be on this battleship if it wasn't for me. He's a cook, plain and simple...

This is not the work of a cook.

He came on board with the captain. I know his routine, front and back. He's good with cooking knives...

(Stranix rips the throwing knife out of Cates's jugular and holds it up to Krill's face)

Cooking knives? (angrily slams the throwing knife on the counter)

He got lucky. In my professional opinion, he is a military reject in command of a GALLEY...!

Doumer
(hearing a beep, they turn and see Ryback's homemade bomb in the microwave)

GET DOWN!

(Ryback's bomb explodes. One of Stranix's men is killed in the bast)

What was that?

That was a bomb, jackass. He used the microwave as a detonator.

Anything else you forgot to tell us about? Any other little memory losses or oversights, perhaps?

No other little memory losses or oversights perhaps. There's two men, one of them's locked up. And I'll take care of him...

No, no, no. We'll handle it. Secure the galley. Send Cates, send Ziggs.

Shadow

You got it.

This Marine's armed, Bill. I think we should send more, I'll go...

Don't worry about it. These guys are professionals. They can handle twenty Marines, and a hundred cooks.

Hear this, gentlemen: if any ships or aircraft approach within 100 miles, we will kill the crew and retaliate with everything in the ship's arsenal.

Tom Breaker

Bill, this is Tom. What's going on?

Hi, Tom! You know what's going on. I have 32 Tomahawks under my thumb, and the only think you can do about it is alert the media.

Tom Breaker

You don't have the launch codes.

Oh, uh, let me take a wild guess... (Pitt points to a monitor) Uh, 5-6-6-0-4-9, uh... 9-7-8-0?

Tom Breaker
(An aide hands a printout to Admiral Bates, confirming the codes.)

This is insane.

Oh, be careful with that word, Tom, please!

I'll take that weapon. Quietly. Now!

(William Stranix grabs Casey Ryback's gun and tosses it.)

You look familiar. I know you, don't I?

I think you do. Been a long time.

Yes, sir. It has.

Turn around. We'll have a tour. Step forward. Here we have our Tomahawks speeding their way to the sunny Aloha State. Turn around. As you can see, there will be no return. I got the key. The lock is broken. Step forward. Have a sit over there. You'll watch the end of the world on TV, my man. Put your feet up. Relax. You know, you're good. You are really good. It's a shame to kill you. Behold my finest work.

Do me a favor. Tell me something. You really think blowing up a bunch of innocent people will change anything? What made you flip like this?

I got tired of coming up with last-minute desperate solutions to impossible problems created by other **** people.

All your ridiculous, pitiful antics won't change a thing. You and I, we're puppets in the same sick play. We serve the same master and he's an ungrateful lunatic. There's nothing we can do about it. You and I are the same.

Oh, no. No. No. No. There's a difference, my man. You have faith. I don't!

Jordan Tate
(Jordan answers the SEAL satellite phone in the middle of Ryback's gunfight)

Hello?

Admiral Bates

Who in the hell is this?

Jordan Tate

Who in the hell is this?

Admiral Bates

This is Admiral Bates speaking. I'm trying to get a hold of Chief Ryback, is he about?

Jordan Tate

He's in a gunfight right now, I'll have to take a message.

Secretary of Defense Trenton

What the hell's going on over there?!

Jordan Tate
(Jordan jumps up and runs after Ryback)

Bullshit, I'm not staying here!

Tackman

Where're you going?!

Granger

Tackman, what'd you say to her?!

Tackman

Case, she's coming up behind you!

What are you doing?

Jordan Tate

The safest place on this ship is right behind you!

[Krill found Ryback's personnel file]

Ryback's file wasn't in Personnel. It was in the Captain's private cabinet. Ryback is an ex-SEAL.

Doumer

The Goddamn cook's a SEAL?

Shut up and listen. "Expert in Martial Arts, Explosives, Weapons and Tactics. Silver Star, Navy Cross, Purple Heart with Cluster, and Security Clearance revoked after Panama." That means he couldn't hold any rating except that of a yeoman...or a cook. How little did I know?

Shadow

We just lost two more men in the Engine Room!

You were told to review the personnel file on every individual on this ship.

I know what I was told, but I didn't have access to the Captain's files at that TIME!

(pressing the buttons to launch a Tomahawk missile)

This little piggy goes to the market. This little piggy stay at home. This little piggy... Oh, mama. Oh, mama. We... We... We... WEEEEEEEE!! All the way home! (air guitars the Star-Spangled Banner as the missile launches, then settles into the captain's chair with a long sigh) Happy trails.
