Mousa Quotes in Rambo III (1988)

Mousa: This is Afghanistan... Alexander the Great try to conquer this country... then Genghis Khan, then the British. Now Russia. But Afghan people fight hard, they never be defeated. Ancient enemy make prayer about these people... you wish to hear?

Rambo: Um-hum.

Mousa: Very good. It says, 'May God deliver us from the venom of the Cobra, teeth of the tiger, and the vengeance of the Afghan.' Understand what this means?

Rambo: That you guys don't take any shit?

Mousa: Yes... something like this.

Mousa: You do not look like men Griggs sent before. You not look like you are with military.

Rambo: I'm not.

Mousa: What you are? Mercenary?

Rambo: No.

Mousa: You're not with military, not mercenary - what you are? Lost tourist?

Rambo: I'm no tourist.

Mousa: [as Rambo prepares to play Afghan game 'buzkashi'] God must love crazy people.

Rambo: [getting on horse] Why?

Mousa: He make so many of them!

[laughs]

Mousa: Why must you do this?

Rambo: Cause he'd do it for me.

Mousa: Well, I do not know who you really are. But by the way you look, I can see you have no experience in war, do you? C'mon, do you?

Rambo: [sarcastically] I've fired a few shots.

Mousa: [laughing at Rambo] A few shots? Come on! Maybe you should go back home and think it all over again. For a very long time!

Rambo: [Turns to face Mousa and gives him a dirty look] I did think it over.

Mousa: You did? Well... This is your choice. But let me tell you, you cannot get this American alone. If you fail, do not blame me. I will accept no responsibility.

Rambo: Sounds familiar...
