Bennett Quotes in Commando (1985)

Bennett: [after he shot Matrix] John! How's your arm John?

John Matrix: [hidden behind a wall] Come over and find out!

Bennett: No thanks, I think I'll take a pass. John, stick your head out, one shot, right between the eyes, I'll make it quick, just for old time sake.

John Matrix: Bennett, stop screwing around and let the girl go, it's me that you want, I only have one arm, you can beat me!

[Bennett laughs]

John Matrix: [Comes out from hidden place] Come on Bennett, throw away the chicken shit gun, you don't just want to pull the trigger, you want to put the knife in me, and look me in the eye, and see what's going on in there when you turn it, that's what you want to do, right?

Bennett: I can kill you John!

John Matrix: Come on, let the girl go, just between you and me, don't deprive yourself of some pleasure, come on Bennett, let's party!

Bennett: I can beat you, I don't need the girl.

[laughs]

Bennett: I DON'T NEED THE GIRL!

[throws Jenny away]

Bennett: I don't need the gun John. I can beat you. I DON'T NEED NO GUN!

[Pulls out his knife]

Bennett: And I'll KILL YOU NOW!

Soldier: Slitting a little girl's throat is like cutting warm butter.

Bennett: Put the knife away and shut your mouth.

Bennett: 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.

Bennett: Sully'll make sure you get on the plane, Henriques'll stay with you, make sure you get off. I don't hear from either one of 'em, she's dead.

John Matrix: How much are they paying you, Bennett?

Bennett: They offered me a hundred grand. You wanna know something? When I found out I could get my hands on you, I said I'd do it for nothing.

Henriques: Hey, hold it!

[Henriques and Sully grabs Matrix]

John Matrix: I'll be back, Bennett!

Bennett: John... I'll be ready, John.

Bennett: John, I feel good. Just like old times. What's it feel like to be a dying man? You're a dead man, John!

John Matrix: Bullshit!

Bennett: [On his way to kill Jenny Matrix, and seeing explosions outside] Welcome back John! So glad you can make it!

Bennett: [on his way to kill Jenny Matrix, tries to open the door, and the knob fells off, Bennett smashes the door open] You little BITCH!

Bennett: [He enters the room, saw a hole in the wall] Errr... GOD!

Bennett: [He looks through the hole, saw Jenny fled, Bennett hurled his way through the wall to chase Jenny Matrix] Catch... YOUUUUU !

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...

[points to himself]

Bennett: is me.

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

Bennett: Of course. I'm smart.

Bennett: John, I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes. I'm going to shoot you between the balls.

John Matrix: Bennett! I thought you were...

Bennett: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of your unit, I've waited to pay you back.

Bennett: Do you know what today is Matrix? Pay day!

John Matrix: Bennett, I thought you were...

Bennett: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of the unit, I've waited to pay you back. You know what today is Matrix?

[Matrix doesn't say anything, he just stares at Bennett with a surprised look on his face]

Bennett: Pay day.

[Bennett fires a tranquilizer into Matrix's stomach. Matrix passes out almost instantly]

[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: [to John] 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.

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

Bennett: Tranquilizers. I wanted to use the real thing!

Albert Wesker: The T-Virus brought me back.

[his head jerks, jaws set, chest heaves]

Albert Wesker: But it's so strong. It fights me for control. I thought if I ingested fresh human DNA, I could redress the balance.

Alice: No wonder your crew abandon ship.

Albert Wesker: No matter. Now I have a new subordinate. And a new plan. You were the only one who successfully bonded with the T-Virus. Your DNA is stronger than the others. I ingest you, I gain control.

Alice: [nods, walks a few paces to a table] That's pretty smart thinking. There's only one problem with that plan.

Bennett: [aiming gun at Alice] Stop right there.

Albert Wesker: And what is that?

Alice: I'm not on the menu.

[she kicks a tray of surgical instruments at Wesker and takes out Bennett's gun with a roundhouse kick. Wesker dodges the scalpels that impale his chair]

Alice: You don't look very good, Bennett.

Bennett: Yeah, I'm looking forward to playing with your pretty face.

Morgan: Hey man, you said there were no crocodiles in these marsh!

Bennett: Those are alligators.

Morgan: Are they hungry?

[looking at alligators eating the body]

Bennett: Not anymore!

Bennett: This guy is like the terminator.

Rome: [looks in the over head mirror]

Bennett: They call him "The Giggler".

Paul Kersey: Jesus, he really moves.

Bennett: [after watching Kersey make his own bullets for half an hour] You load the shells yourself?

Paul Kersey: Nothing's too good for our friends!

Bennett: [to Kersey] Blow the scum away!

Bennett: We heard shots. What happened?

Paul Kersey: I sent them a message.

Bennett: What's the car for?

Paul Kersey: Bait.

Bennett: [to Kersey] You know, what goes on out there, is a disgrace.

Bennett: [to Kersey] Twenty years nobody ever did that to me, break my windows! Well I say fuck 'em. I've had it.

Bennett: [to Kersey] Who are you?

Bennett: [to Kersey] Are you going to go back where you came from?

Bennett: [to Kersey] Did he say anything?

Bennett: [to Kersey] What happened?

Bennett: [to Kersey] What are you doing?

Bennett: [to Kersey] Is that like a .44 magnum?

Bennett: Believe it or not, this used to be a great neighborhood - till it changed.

Bennett: [to Kersey] Who's Wildey?

[repeated line]

Bennett: That's my shop!

Bennett: [to Kersey] You load the shells yourself?

[as he stands there watching Kersey load the shells himself]

Bennett: [on Hollis] He's a cunt

Bennett: [John asks his name] You want my number too?

Bennett: [John explains a form of torture called a bath] I could do with one right now

[Asking for background information about Howard Hunt]

Bob Woodward: It's just profile information, mostly. We know, for example, that he works for Mullen and Company, or did work for Mullen and Company, as a writer. He's also a novelist; we know that he works in the office of Charles Colson at the White House...

Bennett: ...and the CIA.

Bob Woodward: And the CIA.

Bennett: Well, if you're conducting that kind of investigation, certainly it comes as no surprise to you that Howard was with the CIA.

Bob Woodward: No, no surprise at all.

Bennett: Did the sight of this dead girl move you in any particular way?

Matt: I don't know.

Bennett: Were you shocked, angry, saddened? Did the sight please you?

Matt: I don't know how I felt.

Bennett: You knew this girl?

Matt: Yeah.

Bennett: How did you feel about her?

Matt: I don't know.

Bennett: Hey, I'm getting sick of "I don't know". Do you hear me?

Bennett: Snorkers! Good-oh!

Bennett: And I'm the First Lieutenant - I do all the work around here!

Bennett: You heard what William said, he ended up going Bulgarian.

Davis: I ain't gonna go Bulgarian

Bennett: Sorry about this

Jane: What have you done?

Bennett: Nothing

Jane: So why did you say you were sorry?

Bennett: Er...

[Bennett has finished working at the church]

Bennett: Well, I'm finished. Good night, Father.

Father Malone: Good night, Bennett. I'll need you to you come in tomorrow at four.

Bennett: Sure. Father, can I get paid?

Father Malone: Ah... why don't you come in at six tomorrow instead of four.

Bennett: [upon hearing about UFO sightings on the radio] These people watch too much television.

Derek: Yeah..."The Outer Limits".

Bennett: [after hearing alien noises in the woods] It didn't sound like any animal I ever heard. It sounded... unearthly.

Derek: You wouldn't know the difference between a brown bear and a hoot owl if it came up and bit you on the ass!

Derek: An invasion! We're witnessing the beginnings of an invasion!

Bennett: Well we know what they like to eat.

Derek: Yeah... us.

Derek: [taking pictures of "devastation" and nature] Wow! It's like a page right out of history.

Bennett: Yeah... a real boring page!

Bennett: [walks up to the hideous-looking troll woman at the gas station - thinking she's hot] Hi!

Michelle: Hi... what are you doing?

[they then stare vacantly at each other for several seconds with no dialogue... and the movie cuts to later with Bennett by himself at the gas pump]

Bennett: No radio, no oxygen. You'll be telling me next the ruddy aeroplane hasn't got wings.

Bennett: You're sure it is Japan? From what I've seen of your flying methods it could be China, or Blackpool for that matter.
