Eddie Valentine Quotes in The Rocketeer (1991)

Neville Sinclair: [on the road leading to the Griffith Observatory] C'mon, Eddie. I'm paying you well. Does it really matter where the money comes from?

[siding with the G-men to fight the Nazis]

Eddie Valentine: It matters to me. I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American. I don't work for no two-bit Nazi. Let the girl go!

[Neville laughs, then calls out - in German - a group of hidden armed Sturmabteilung German soldiers who promptly hold everyone at gunpoint]

[Valentine and his gang have brought Secord and the rocket to Neville Sinclair]

Cliff Secord: [on the road leading to the Griffith Observatory] What's it like working for a Nazi, Eddie? Does he pay you in dollars or Deutschmarks?

Eddie Valentine: What's he talking about, Sinclair?

Cliff Secord: Oh, yeah, Eddie! I got it straight from the Feds. Nazi spy ring, Flying Commandos, the works!

Neville Sinclair: He's been flying where the air's too thin.

Jenny: Tell him about the secret room. Tell him about the Germans on the radio!

Goose: [pointing a gun at Lothar] Easy, Frankenstein. You ain't bulletproof!

Eddie Valentine: Start talking, Sinclair!

Eddie Valentine: [as Cliff takes off after the Nazi zeppelin] Go get 'em, kid.

Neville Sinclair: [regarding what he's after] It's a rocket.

Eddie Valentine: [surprised] A rocket?

Neville Sinclair: [laughing inside his mansion] Yeah. Like in the comic books.

Neville Sinclair: Valentine, we're going to do what I think is necessary.

Eddie Valentine: [inside his office inside the south Seas Club] And that includes breaking one of my men in half, huh? The next time you go after one of my men, I'll kill ya.

Neville Sinclair: Don't threaten me, Eddie. Just do your job.

Eddie Valentine: Hey, Sinclair? If the Feds take me, I'm taking you with me. I'm gonna tell you everthing.

Neville Sinclair: Who are they going to believe? A cheap crook, or the number-three box-office star in America?

Eddie Valentine: [throwing his cigar down] Nummber-three *jerk*!
