Quotes 

  • Arius : [from theatrical cut]  Your father appears to be cooperating. You will be back with him soon. Won't that be nice?

    Jenny Matrix : Not as nearly as nice as watching him smash your face in.

  • Young Guerrilla : [1:03:23]  Slitting a little girl's throat is like cutting warm butter.

    Bennett : Put the knife away and shut your mouth. I really love listening to your little piss-ant soldiers trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.

    Arius : Mr. Bennett, my soldiers are patriots.

    Bennett : Your soldiers are nothing. Matrix and I can kill every single one of them...

    [snaps his fingers] 

    Bennett : In the blink of an eye. Remember that

    Arius : Are you trying to... frighten me?

    Bennett : I don't have to try. When Matrix finishes the job, he'll be back for his daughter. Now whether she's alive or dead doesn't matter. Then he'll be after you. Now the only thing between you and Matrix is me

    Arius : It is YOU that is afraid, Mr. Bennett. YOU are afraid of Matrix.

    Bennett : Of course. I'm smart. But I have an edge; I have his daughter.

  • [John Matrix, fully restrained in chains, comes out of sedation from being tranquilized. Bennett, Sully, Henriques, and despotic former dictator Arius are staring down at him] 

    Bennett : [16:55]  Tranquilizers.

    [lunges at him menacingly] 

    Bennett : I wanted to use the real THING!

    John Matrix : Where's Jenny?

    [to his shock, John sees Arius] 

    Arius : [Hispanic voice]  You remember me, Colonel?

    John Matrix : I remember you, scumbag! Especially the people you've tortured and killed!

    Arius : Colonel Matrix, you do not understand a country like Val Verde. It is a country that needs a president who has an understanding of discipline.

    John Matrix : Why tell me?

    Arius : Because you're going to return to Val Verde and you are going to kill the president that you helped to overthrow me.

    John Matrix : Why don't you have Bennett do it? Sounds like something he would get off on.

    Arius : Because President Velasquez trusts you, Colonel. After all, he made you the hero of the revolution. Why, Captain Bennett left, shall we say, uh, under a cloud. Yes?

    John Matrix : Yeah, 'cause he enjoyed killing a little TOO much.

    Bennett : Your training, Matrix.

    Arius : You can get close to President Velasquez. You will kill him. You know, Colonel, we went to a lot of trouble to find you.We had to pretend Captain Bennett's death so that General Kirby would become agitated and lead us to you, and now that I have you, you will do exactly as I tell you.

    John Matrix : Fuck you.

    [Bennett walks to the door panel. Sully twist John's head to the left. Bennett opens the door and John sees Cooke, one of Arius' henchmen, rolling out Jenny, tied up and restrained in a chair] 

    Jenny Matrix : [muffles in tears]  Daddy!

    John Matrix : [shocked]  Jenny!

    [Sully and Cooke draw their guns whilst Bennett puts his knife right to Jenny's neck] 

    John Matrix : Oh, you bastards!

    Arius : Colonel Matrix, if you kill President Velasquez, I will send her back to you. If you try anything else, I will mail her to you in pieces.

  • Arius : [17:02]  Do you remember me, Colonel?

    John Matrix : I remember you, scumbag! Especially the people you've tortured and killed!

  • Arius : [from director's cut]  Your father appears to be cooperating. You will be back with him soon. Won't that be nice?

    Jenny Matrix : Not nearly as nice as watching him kick your ass.

  • Arius : [from the Director's Cut]  Your father seemed to be cooperating. You will be together with him soon. Won't that be nice?

    Jenny Matrix : [26:17]  Not nearly as nice as watching him kick your ass.

  • Arius : What time do you expect Matrix to arrive in Val Verde?

    Bennett : Just over two hours.

    Arius : Do you think he's going to give us any problems?

    Bennett : He'll do exactly as he's told, as long as he thinks he'll get his daughter back.

  • Arius : [1:10:14] 

    [to Bennett, after finding out that Matrix has escaped] 

    Arius : He was not on the plane. Kill her.

    [Bennett smirks menacingly and loads his gun]
