Trautman : [1:24:53] You did everything to make this private war happen. You've done enough damage. This mission is over, Rambo. Do you understand me? This mission is over! Look at them out there! Look at them! If you won't end this now, they will kill you. Is that what you want? It's over Johnny. It's over!
Rambo : Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me, huh? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!
Trautman : It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It's all in the past now.
Rambo : For *you*! For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!
Trautman : You're the last of an elite group, don't end it like this.
Rambo : Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job *parking cars*!
-
Rambo : I could have killed 'em all, I could've killed you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it! Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go!

Rambo : We were in this bar in Saigon and this kid comes up, this kid carrying a shoe-shine box. And he says "Shine, please, shine!" I said no. He kept askin', yeah, and Joey said "Yeah." And I went to get a couple of beers, and the box was wired, and he opened up the box, fucking blew his body all over the place. And he's laying there, he's fucking screaming. There's pieces of him all over me, just...
[Takes off his bandolier]
Rambo : like this, and I'm tryin' to pull him off, you know, my friend that's all over me! I've got blood and everything and I'm tryin' to hold him together! I'm puttin'... the guy's fuckin' insides keep coming out! And nobody would help! Nobody would help! He's saying, sayin' "I wanna go home! I wanna go home!" He keeps calling my name! "I wanna go home, Johnny! I wanna drive my Chevy!" I said "With what? I can't find your fuckin' legs! I can't find your legs!"

Rambo : I can't get it out of my head. A dream of seven years. Everyday I have this. And sometimes I wake up and I don't know where I am. I don't talk to anybody. Sometimes a day - a week. I can't put it out of my mind.

Teasle : [Teasle is giving Rambo a lift] So where you heading?
Rambo : Portland.
Teasle : Portland is south! You said you were heading north.
Rambo : You got some place I can eat around here?
Teasle : Theres a diner about thirty miles up the highway.
Rambo : Is there a law against me getting something to eat here?
Teasle : Yeah! ME!
Rambo : Why you pushing me?
Teasle : [haughty] What'd you say?
Rambo : I said why you pushing me? I haven't done anything to you.
Teasle : First of all, you don't ask the questions around here. I do. Understand! Second, we don't want guys like you in this town, drifters. Next thing we know, we got a whole *bunch* of guys like you in this town. THAT'S WHY! Besides, you wouldn't like it here anyway. It's just a quiet little town. In fact you might say it's BORING. But that's the way we like it. I get paid to keep it that way.
Rambo : Yeah, boring.

Trautman : Company leader to identify Baker Team - Rambo, Messner, Ortega, Coletta, Jorgensen, Danforth, Berry, Krakauer confirm! This is Colonel Trautman. Talk to me, Johnny.
Rambo : They're all gone Sir.
Trautman : Rambo! Are you all right?
Rambo : Baker Team. They're all dead, sir.
Trautman : Not Delmar Berry, he made it.
Rambo : Berry's gone too Sir.
Trautman : How?
Rambo : Got himself killed in 'Nam, didn't even know it. Cancer ate him down to the bone.
Trautman : I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Rambo : I'm the last one Sir.

Trautman : It's good to hear your voice Johnny, it's been a long time. Look John, you've done some damage here, they don't want anymore trouble. That's why I've come. I want to come in there and fly you the hell out. Just you and me. We'll work this thing out together. Is that fair enough?
Rambo : Where did you come from Sir?
Trautman : Bragg.
Rambo : I tried to get in touch with you, but the guys in Bragg never knew where to find you.
Trautman : You know I haven't been spending much time there lately, they've got me down in D.C. I'm shining a seat with my ass.
Rambo : I wish I was back in Bragg now.
Trautman : We'll talk about that when you come in.
Rambo : I can't do that Sir.
Trautman : Look John, we can't have you running around out there killing friendly civilians.
Rambo : There are no friendly civilians!
Trautman : But I'm your friend Johnny! I was there with you knee-deep in all that blood and guts. I covered your ass more than once. Seems like baling you out of trouble's got to be a life-time achievement for me.
Rambo : There wouldn't be no trouble except for that king-shit cop! All I wanted was something to eat. But the man kept pushing Sir.
Trautman : Well you did some pushing on your own John.
Rambo : They drew first blood, not me.
Trautman : Look Johnny, let me come in and get you the hell out of there!
Rambo : They drew first blood...
Trautman : Rambo, are you still reading me? Covey leader to Raven! Rambo! Acknowledge!
