Quotes 

• Turner : [Turner, recently captured, has just been brought to Hanoi's Hoa Lo prison]  You got any advice?

  Miles : You hang tough as long as you can. Every time they don't beat you they lose. Every time they don't break us we win. And when they torture you... try to concentrate on the places that don't hurt.

• Paula : Are you hungry, Captain?

  Turner : Like you couldn't believe it.

  Jesse : I suppose you're no stranger to hunger.

  Turner : Not after three years in this joint.

  Raymond : How do you feel about the Democratic Republic?

  Turner : "Democratic Republic"?... Oh, you mean the gooks?

  [starts to chuckle] 

  Paula : [looking uncomfortable]  You're safe with us, Eric, there's no need to use that word. It's, it's...

  Turner : You call me "Captain," lady. I worked hard for that rank. And I use the word "gook" 'cause I can't think of anything worse I'd use in front of you.

  Paula : I'm just trying to help you, Eric.

  Turner : Why don't you shove it! I don't need help. Never from you! You don't even know when you're being used! So I'm sorry, boss, but you got the wrong nigger!
