Quotes 

• Duke : I want you guys to infiltrate Cobra's Terrordome and destroy it. By the way, how's he doing?

  Sgt. Slaughter : It's too soon to tell but I think the kid's got a lot of potential. And by the way, I won't tell him you asked.

• General Hawk : How is he, Scarlett?

  Scarlett : Not good.

  Duke : I guess I can't look out for you anymore, kid...

  Lt. Falcon : Don't say that, Duke! Doc'll fix you up.

  Duke : This isn't Doc's day for miracles... It's my own fault... I'm too slow...

  Lt. Falcon : No, no! You did it to save me!

  Duke : Promise me you'll try to... get your act together... Be a credit... to your country...

  Lt. Falcon : I... I'll make you proud. You'll see.

  Duke : Yo... Joe...

  Scarlett : He's gone into a coma. Duke...

  General Hawk : Falcon, don't worry. We'll do everything we can for Duke. Yo Joe.

• Wild Bill : Hoo Wee, doesn't look cozy down there, Lift Ticket!

  Lift Ticket : I don't think Falcon's supposed to be cozy, Wild Bill. Gung-Ho, Alpine and Bazooka aren't exactly enjoying their hospital stay!

  Lift Ticket : [tosses Falcon a parachute]  Put it on, smart guy!

  Lt. Falcon : What for? We're over the middle of nowhere.

  Lift Ticket : Which is right where you belong!

  [kicks Falcon out of the helicopter] 

• Serpentor : Blunderers! Fools! We possess power greater than any on Earth! Yet our conquests are stripped from us on every front! Our most dangerous enemy is NOT G.I. Joe but YOUR collective incompetence!

  Cobra Commander : Hogwash!

  Serpentor : WHAT? You dare say?

  Cobra Commander : The fault, most imperial Serpentor, lies not within us, but within YOU! Your leadership has been pompous, pusilanimous and pathetic!

  Baroness : What did he say!

  Zarana : He's gone batty!

  Dr. Mindbender : That's treason!

  Tomax : I don't believe it!

  Serpentor : Yes, leadership IS at the very heart of this matter. But it's not mine that's inadequate, Cobra Commander, it is YOURS! Your ego driven stupidity has converted victory into catastrophe FOR THE LAST TIME!

  Cobra Commander : Go ahead. Make me the scapegoat. My loyal subordinates could testify to my superb stewardship of Cobra. But you don't have the courage to let them speak!

  Serpentor : Wrong again! Defend him if you can.

  Cobra Commander : Indeed they shall! You first, noble Destro.

  Destro : Militarily speaking, it is only fair to say that Cobra Commander is a world-class... buffoon.

  Cobra Commander : WHAT? Baroness, Dr. Mindbender, brave Xomat and Tomax... you won't let Destro's treacherous assassination of my character go unchallenged, will you?

  Dr. Mindbender : Certainly not! Destro forgot to mention your frequent displays of cowardice!

  Cobra Commander : Oh!

  [Cut to Pythona emerging from the lake and breaking into Cobra's headquarters and back again to the other Cobras blaming Cobra Commander for their repeated failures] 

  Baroness : And you botched our desert campaign!

  Destro : We had won but YOU countermanded my order!

  Baroness : You meddling brought us defeat! Again and again and again!

  Dr. Mindbender : You're not just a fool, you're Cobra's curse!

  Tomax : Inept!

  Xamot : Insufficient!

  Tomax , Xamot : Inexcusable!

  Cobra Commander : Unsubstantiated fantasy! Lies, lies, LIES!

• General Hawk : Lt. Falcon, I don't know how an arrogant misfit like you got into this outfit in the first place!

  Tunnel Rat : [whispering]  Are they going to shoot Falcon?

  Law : No. This is just a preliminary hearing.

  General Hawk : Three Joes injured and Serpentor freed by some bizarre new enemy, all because YOU can't follow orders! Your record is a shameful parade of insubordination and gross dereliction of duty. We searched your files in the hopes of finding SOME act of merit to offset the maximum penalty. We found... none!

  Duke : [stepping down from the gallery]  If it please the court, I ask that the defendant be spared.

  General Hawk : On what grounds?

  Lt. Falcon : [grabbing Duke's arm]  Duke... don't.

  Duke : [pulls away]  I just know that deep inside, there's a Joe worth saving; Falcon is my half-brother.

  General Hawk : [shock and surprise reverberates through the courtroom]  We should confer on this. Duke, you may remove the defendant.

  [Falcon and Duke step outside] 

  Lt. Falcon : [angrily]  Don't do me any more favors, "big-brother"!

  Jinx : Falcon! Duke's just trying to help!

  Lt. Falcon : How? By busting my chops every chance he gets?

  Duke : I promised our mother I would keep an eye on him. Maybe I shouldn't have taken the job.

  [Falcon clenches his fist] 

  Tunnel Rat : He did the crime, he oughta do the time!

  Big Lob : Now *you* might get penalized for his screw-up!

  Lt. Falcon : Hey! Nobody's going to take the fall for me! I don't need your help!

  [grabs Duke by the shoulders] 

  Lt. Falcon : STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!

  Low Light : [door hisses open]  Showtime!

  General Hawk : [inside the courtroom]  Lt. Falcon, it is the judgment of this tribunal that you *not* be turned over for court-martial.

  [Falcon and Duke express surprise] 

  General Hawk : However, you still must answer for the severity of the charges against you. Falcon, you're going to learn what it means to be a Joe even if it kills you. I'm sending you to the Slaughterhouse!

  [bangs gavel]
