Noland Quotes in Predators (2010)

Stans: [the group enters Noland's hideout] Wow, what a shithole. You live here?

Noland: Oh, no. No. This is my summer home. I winter in the Riviera. The schools are so much nicer there. And the men... Ooh, la, la! By the way, you're welcome.

Royce: [to Noland who is wearing a Predator mask] What the fuck are you?

Noland: [Removes mask] I'm alive. You talk too loud. Smelled you since you got here. If I can smell you, if I can hear you, they can, too. Storm coming soon. This way.

Isabelle: Wait. Who are you?

Noland: [in sing-song voice] Noland, run away, live to fight another day.

Noland: I'm the one that got away. The one you don't fuck with.

Noland: Anyway, every once in a while, once of us kills one of them. And, let me tell you, that's when they get interested. See, they learn quick. They adapt. They develop a whole new set of skills. They come back the next season in threes, always in threes. Their armor might've changed, or their weapons have changed, or their tactics have changed. It's amazing

Nikolai: So, it's like evolution. They're trying to make themselves into better killers.

Noland: Mmm hmm.

Royce: You said they come back.

Noland: They got a ship.

Royce: A ship?

Noland: Yeah. It's 30 yards from their camp.

[to his imaginary friend]

Noland: I told you they wouldn't see it. I told you they wouldn't.

Noland: [to his imaginary friend] You see the shit you've gotten us into, man? I told you that. You never listen to me, though. Six more. Six more fucking mouths to feed. I can barely stand living with you.

Noland: [shouting] How am I gonna live with them, too?

Noland: Anyway, there's two different types of them out there. Hmm? Now, they're similar, but they're different. It's kind of like the difference between dogs and wolves. The one's that are running things up there, the larger ones, hunt the smaller ones. It's some kind of blood feud, I guess. Been going on for a long time.

Royce: They do this just for sport?

Noland: Oh, yeah, they bring in fresh meat season after season. I mean, shit you wouldn't believe. Bring it in, hunt it and kill it. In that order.

Noland: You want to survive? You dig in deep. You stay hid.

Stans: Yeah, well, we're gonna go with door number two. How do we get out of this valley?

Noland: Oh. Ten seasons. First two seasons... No, three seasons I was there, I was walking in the same direction, trying to reach the edge of the preserve.

[Starts laughing]

Noland: Let me tell you something, there ain't no edge of the preserve.

Royce: Maybe you and your friend wanna tell me about that ship.

Noland: Let's see. That's a brilliant idea. Brilliant. The whole time I've been here, it never occurred to me to commandeer the alien spacecraft. But I wouldn't know how to fly it. He would. Of course, you know how to fly it?

Royce: I'll give it a shot.

Noland: [laughs] Well, I'm gonna get some sleep. No noise. They're out there. They're always out there. Water in there. Help yourself. All of you.

Royce: How do we kill them?

Noland: However you can.

Isabelle: They must have a weakness.

Noland: Not many.

Stans: How long have you been here, man?

Noland: Uh... Seven seasons, I think.

[responding to his imaginary friend]

Noland: What? Ten? Damn.

Noland: [to the Tracker Predator] Oh. Finally found me, huh, big dog? Well, what took you so long?

Royce: [to Noland] Say goodbye to your little friend.

Noland: You're in my house, motherfucker!

[Royce fires his AA-12 into the hull of the ship]

Stans: Yeah, that didn't open up shit.

Royce: Wasn't meant to, asshole. I'm calling in the cavalry.

[Stans picks up an armored vest and is inspecting it]

Noland: [Acknowledging his imaginary friend] Hey. Yeah, I'll tell him.

[to Stans]

Noland: Hey, Agent Orange, you wanna put that down? Certain people around here are particular about other people messing with their shit.

[Stans puts down the vest]

Noland: Very important, though. Disrupts the heat signature. You motherfuckers.

Royce: So, you killed one?

Noland: Uh-uh. I killed two. Maybe three. I can't remember.
