Quotes 

• John Rambo : [from the Director's Cut]  Go live your life 'cause you've got a good one.

  Sarah : It's what I'm trying to do.

  John Rambo : No, what you're trying to do is change what is.

  Sarah : And what is?

  John Rambo : That we're like animals! It's in the blood! It's natural! Peace? That's an accident! It's what is! When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing. When the killing stops in one place, it starts in another, but that's okay... 'cause you're killing for your country. But it ain't your country who asks you, it's a few men up top who want it. Old men start it, young men fight it, nobody wins, everybody in the middle dies... and nobody tells the truth! God's gonna make all that go away?

  [pause] 

  John Rambo : Don't waste your life, I did. Go home.

• Burnett : What did you do? We came here to help stop the killing! Who are you to...

  John Rambo : [grabs Burnett by the throat, and slams him up against a support beam]  WHO ARE YOU?

  Sarah : Let him go!

  John Rambo : They would've raped her fifty times... and cut your fucking heads off! Who are you? Who are any of you?

• Sarah Miller : Maybe you've lost your faith in people. But you must still be faithful to something. You must still care about something. Maybe we can't change what is. But trying to save a life isn't wasting your life, is it?

• Sarah : You know, you never told us your name.

  John Rambo : John.

  Sarah : Where are you from?

  John Rambo : Bowie, Arizona.

  Sarah : Why'd you leave?

  John Rambo : I got drafted in 'Nam.

  Sarah : And you just stayed?

  John Rambo : It's complicated.

  Sarah : You have family back home?

  John Rambo : Father, maybe. I don't know.

  Sarah : Aren't you curious to see how things might've changed back home?

  John Rambo : Gotta have a reason for that.

• John Rambo : Why'd you come back?

  Sarah : Waiting for you.

  John Rambo : I told you before, I can't help you.

  Sarah : Well, we need to go and help these people. We're here to make a difference. We believe all lives are special.

  John Rambo : Some lives... some not.

  Sarah : Really? If everyone thought like you, nothing would ever change.

  John Rambo : Nothing does change.

  Sarah : Of course it does! Nothing stays the same!

  John Rambo : Live your life, 'cause you've got a good one.

  Sarah : It's what I'm trying to do!

  John Rambo : No, what you're trying to do is change what is.

  Sarah : And what is?

  John Rambo : Go home.

• Sarah : What do we do?

  School Boy : Nothing we can do.

• Sarah : The man you were talking to...

  John Rambo : I wasn't talking to anybody.

  Sarah : All right. The man who was talking to you asked if we could hire you to take us upriver. You said no. Why?

  John Rambo : Can't help you out.

  Sarah : Well, if you have good reasons, would you mind if I heard them?

  John Rambo : Go home.

• Sarah : I don't know what to say.

  John Rambo : Then you shouldn't say anything, should you?

• [last lines] 

  Sarah : Michael!
