  Scott : Do I need to know that? If I want camaraderie, I'll join the Masons.

• Curtis : They sending you in?

  Scott : We'll leave that to our betters.

  Curtis : Why don't you ask them?

  Scott : Why would I want to know? I ain't a planner, I ain't a thinker. I never wanted to be. You got to set your motherfucker to receive. Listen to me. They don't go through the door, we don't ask why. That's not a cost, it's benefit. Because we get to travel light. They tell me where to go. Tell me what to do when I get there.

• Curtis : There's an Army depending on us for the truth. You can lie to anyone else. Never lie to a Ranger.

• Curtis : I saw the sign.

  Scott : Then you are truly blessed.

• Curtis : I saw the sign.

  Curtis : Sir.

  Scott : You saw the sign? You were up for a week. You coulda seen Jack Ruby. You don't know what you saw your first time out.

  Curtis : Sir, I know what I saw.

  Scott : You didn't see no sign baby, 'cause she wasn't there. The hardest thing, y'know what it is? It isn't going in the door, it's coming out. You ever come down offa drugs? The most powerful drug in the world is adrenaline. I told you everything I know. Stand down.
