Downey Quotes in Fired Up! (2009)

Nick Brady: Dude, why didn't you tell me you're gay? I would've been totally okay with that. Paint with all the colors of the wind and whatnot.

Downey: Wait, you're strait?

Nick Brady: [laughs uncomfortably then stops abruptly] Yes.

Downey: But what about your diary? And then you asked for my beads and you stuck them in your mouth...

Nick Brady: I thought it was a bracelet!

Downey: Why would you stick a bracelet in your mouth?

Nick Brady: I don't know!

Downey: The closet door is made of all different kinds of wood, my brother.

[leans in closer]

Downey: All kinds...

[Downey slaps Nick's ass and leaves]

Nick Brady: Ahh... god that is SO awkward.

Downey: [after the verdict was read] I don't understand... Colonel Jessup said he ordered the Code Red.

Galloway: I know but...

Downey: [nervously] Colonel Jessup said he ordered the Code Red! What did we do wrong?

Galloway: It's not that simple...

Downey: [anxiously] What did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong!

Dawson: Yeah we did. We were supposed to fight for people who couldn't fight for themselves. We were supposed to fight for Willy.

Capt. Ross: Why did you go into Santiago's room?

Galloway: The witness has rights!

Capt. Ross: The witness has been read his rights, Commander.

Judge Randolph: The question will be repeated.

Galloway: Your Honor!

Capt. Ross: Why did you go into Santiago's room?

Downey: Hal?

Capt. Ross: Did Lance Corporal Dawson tell you to give Santiago a Code Red?

Downey: Hal?

Capt. Ross: Don't look at him!

Dawson: Hal?

Dawson: Private, answer the captain's question!

Downey: Yes, Captain, I was given an order by my squad leader, Lance Corporal Harold W. Dawson, United States Marine Corps, and I followed it.

Kaffee: [in an interogation room] This your signature?

Dawson: Yes, sir.

Kaffee: You don't have to call me "sir."

[to Downey]

Kaffee: Is this your signature?

Downey: Sir, yes, sir.

Kaffee: You certainly don't need to do it twice in one sentence.

Kaffee: Private, I want you to tell us one last time. Why did you go to Private Santiago's room on the night of September 6th?

Downey: A code red was ordered by my platoon commander, Lieutenant Jonathan James Kendrick.

Kaffee: Thank you. Your witness.

Capt. Ross: Private, the week of 2 September... the switch log has you down at Post 39 until 1600. Is that correct?

Downey: I'm sure it is, sir. They keep that log pretty good.

Capt. Ross: How far is it from Post 39 to the Windward Barracks?

Downey: Well, it's a ways, sir. It's a hike.

Capt. Ross: About how far by jeep?

Downey: About ten, fifteen minutes, sir.

Capt. Ross: You ever have to walk it?

Downey: Yes, sir. That day, sir. Friday. The pick up private - Tthat's like what we call the guy who drops us off at our post and picks us up... also 'cause he can get girls in New York City. The pickup private got a flat, sir, right at 39. He pulled up and, bam, blowout with no spare. So we had to double-time it back to the barracks.

Capt. Ross: And if it's about ten or fifteen minutes by Jeep, I'm guessing... it must be a good hour by foot, am I right?

Downey: Pickup and me did it in forty-five flat, sir.

Capt. Ross: Not bad. Now, you've said that your assault on Private Santiago was the result of an order that Lieutenant Kendrick gave you in your barracks room at... 1620, am I right?

Downey: Yes, sir.

Capt. Ross: But you just said that you didn't make it back to the Windward barracks until 1645.

Downey: [confused] Sir?

Capt. Ross: Well, if you didn't make it back to the barracks room until 1645, how could you be in your room at 1620?

Downey: [nervously] Well, you see, sir, there was a blow out.

Capt. Ross: Private, did you ever actually hear Lieutenant Kendrick order a code red?

Downey: [nervously] Well, Hal said that...

Capt. Ross: Private, did you ever actually hear Lieutenant Kendrick order a code red?

Downey: No, sir.

Galloway: [stands up from the defense table] Please the court, I'd like to request a recess in order to confer with my client.

Judge Randolph: [Judge Randolph reading the verdict] Lance Corporal Dawson, Private First Class Downey.

[Two defendants rises]

Judge Randolph: On the charge of murder, the members find the accused not guilty. On the charge of conspiracy to commit murder, the members find the accused not guilty. On the charge of conduct unbecoming a United States Marine, the members find the accused guilty as charged. The accused are hereby sentenced to time already served, and you are ordered to be dishonorably discharged from the Marine Corps. This court martial is adjourned.

[Bangs the gavel]

Bailiff: All rise.

[the courtroom clears; Downey is baffled and afraid, and speaks to Dawson]

Downey: What does that mean?

Kaffee: [to Dawson after waving his hand in front of Downey's face and not responding in an interrogation with Sam present] does he ever talk?

Dawson: sir PFC Downey will answer direct questions you ask him

Kaffee: swell, private Downey, the rag you stuffed in Santiago's mouth, was there poison on it?

Downey: no sir

Kaffee: silver polish, Turpentine Anti-Freeze?

Downey: no sir, we were just going to shave his head sir

Kaffee: when all of a sudden?

Downey: we saw blood dripping down his mouth, and we pulled the tape off, and there was blood down his face sir. That's when Lance Corporal Dawson called the ambulance

Kaffee: [to Dawson] did anyone see you call the ambulance?

Dawson: no sir

Kaffee: were you there when the ambulance arrived?

Dawson: yes sir, that's when we were taken under arrest.

Victor: [pointing at a picture of the ship] Check it out. This is the same ship. This thing's old.

Downey: Yeah, 1932. It is the same. Here's where we boarded.

Victor: [reads name of the ship] Aeolus.

Downey: Aeolus. Aeolus was the Greek god of the winds and the father of Sisyphus, the man condemned by the gods to the task of pushing a rock up a mountain only to have it roll back down again.

Victor: That's a shitty punishment. What did he do?

Sally: He cheated Death. No, he made a promise to Death that he didn't keep.

Greg: [stepping off the yacht Triangle to meet Jess] Jess. You ok?

Victor: I don't think so.

Greg: Hey! What happened?

Greg: [Jess hugs Greg] Hey what's the matter?

Jess: I'm sorry.

Greg: You've got nothing to apologize for. What is it? Are you OK?

Jess: I'm just tired.

Greg: Well listen we don't have to go today if you don't want too.

Jess: [unsure] No I do... I... I... I wanna go

Greg: You sure?

Jess: [Jess looks at the others aboard the yacht Triangle] Yea... yea

Greg: Yea? OK! Come here. Come meet the gang

Greg: [they both step aboard the yacht] This is Sally and her husband Downey. This is Heather Sally's friend. You remember Victor?

Downey: Hi.

Greg: Lets go sailing!
