Grimes Quotes in My Dream Is Yours (1949)

Grimes: No, look, you got me wrong, Little Red Riding Hood. I ain't no wolf.

Martha Gibson: Okay, but I'd hate to meet you in a forest on a dark night.

Garrison: Good luck, boys. Be careful. Nobody gets left behind.

Grimes: [looks at Eversmann's face]

Grimes: What's wrong?

Eversmann: Nothing. He's just never done that before.

Grimes: Oh, fuck!

Grimes: Why aren't you shooting?

Waddell: We're not being shot at yet.

Grimes: How can you tell?

Waddell: A hiss means it's close. A snap means...

[a bullet whizzes close by]

Waddell: Now they're shooting at us!

[they begin returning fire]

[after an explosion]

Sanderson: Are you alright?

Grimes: Yeah, I can hear bells ringin'!

Crew Chief: Hey, Grimesy! No fear!

Grimes: Oh, yeah, RIGHT!

Sanderson: So where did they find you?

[Grimes sees smoke from Somali tire fires in the distance as the Rangers fly towards the city]

Grimes: Why are they burning tires?

Waddell: Signals to the militia, that we're coming.

Grimes: It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger. Now it's "Grimesy, black, one sugar" or "Grimesy, got a powdered anywhere?"

[speaking about a Pakistani UN tank]

Grimes: These things are fuckin' bullet magnets!

Steele: What the fuck are you doing out there?

Sanderson: Doing my job! We got to get to that crash site! We got to get on that street, and we got to move! And you have got to keep up, sir!

Steele: Don't you ever give me orders, Sergeant! We are combat ineffective, you understand me? We got too many wounded to move!

Sanderson: Then give me some shooters and I'll circle us to the bird.

Steele: Grimes! You're with Chalk Four?

Grimes: Yes, sir!

Steele: All right, hook up with Delta! Rejoin with Sergeant Eversmann. The rest of you, secure this position! Treat the wounded. We'll wait for the convoy! Then we'll rally at the crash site.

Sanderson: My guys, let's go!

Grimes: [smugly, speaking of the President of the United States] The boss'll be pleased to know that he made the right decision on 7-12 in the first place.

Dr. Ruth Leavitt: [harsh with sarcasm] Congratulate him on his scientific insight.

Grimes: Mister, you've got alot of hard bark on you walkin' down here like this. Now, I owe you. You put two holes in me.

John Russell: Usually enough for most of 'em.

Grimes: Don't try it again, that Vaquero is more than a fair hand.

Grimes: You got the money?

John Russell: Guess I brought my dirty laundry down by mistake.

Grimes: Let me see it.

John Russell: Look for yourself.

Grimes: [opens bag, pulls out a handful of clothes] Well now, what'ya suppose hell's gonna look like?

John Russell: We all die, just a question of when.

Doris Blake: I've heard a lot of stories about what the Indians do to white women.

Grimes: They do the same thing to white women they do to Indian women, and they don't mind it much, red or white.

[Grimes lights a cigar]

Grimes: Smoke bother you?

Audra Favor: Would you put it out if I said it did?

Grimes: Oh, yeah. My momma taught me to remove my hat and my cigar in the presence of a lady. Whatever else I take off depends on how lucky I get.

Grimes: [after going through Favor's luggage and taking out the money] Looks like you did good and we did better.

Lamar Dean: That was pretty smart, billin' the government for food for the Indians and then keepin' the money while them poor Indians starve to death.

Grimes: You know, the thing is; he ought to be over here with us instead of standin' over there

[laughs]

Grimes: Now you wait a minute! I'm getting back down the same way I came up! (Begins running back down the hill. Russell shoots him as he is running)

Jessie: [as Grimes crawls away after being shot] Cicero Grimes, meet John Russell.

Grimes: Looks like you done good, but we done better.

Grimes: Well now... just what do you think Hell is gonna look like?

Grimes: Throw down two saddles.

Grimes: You're comin' with us.

Audra Favor: No, I think I'll stay here.

Grimes: You will be all right.

Audra Favor: I'll be *all right* here.

Grimes: One way or another, you're comin' with us.
