Vic Deakins Quotes:

  • Vic Deakins: Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?

  • Vic Deakins: I just realized something. I never actually killed anyone before. I mean, I dropped bombs on Baghdad, but, uh... never face to face.

    [pause]

    Vic Deakins: . I don't know what the big deal is. I really don't.

  • Vic Deakins: Well, I do appreciate the money that you and your associates have invested in the operation. But this IS an operation, it's a MILITARY operation. And YOU don't know DICK about that! Now *I* have been in the military for over 20 years. I planned and flew over 100 missions in the Gulf. I put these boys together because they are *motivated* and they are *highly trained* like me! This is what I do, Mr. Pritchett! And this is BATTLE! And battle is a highly *fluid* situation. You - You plan on your contingencies, and I have. You keep your initiative, and I will. But what you don't do is *share command*! It's NEVER a good IDEA!

    Pritchett: It's still my money.

    Vic Deakins: And if we succeed, you and your friends will get a ton of it.

    Pritchett: *If* we're successful?

    Vic Deakins: Look, Mr. Pritchett, I will deliver the weapons to the destination. But I can't depend and I can't guarantee that those assholes in Washington won't do something stupid like... not pay.

    Pritchett: What if they don't?

    Vic Deakins: Well, if they don't, the southwest will be a quiet neighbourhood for, uh, about ten thousand years.

  • Vic Deakins: [while fighting with Hale] Alright, you're bleeding, aren't ya? Well, that's good. Let's see if we can get any more out of you.

  • Vic Deakins: You know, Hale, I considered bringing you in on this. You know why I didn't?

    Riley Hale: 'Cause I would have said "no"?

    Vic Deakins: Nah, if you had said no, I'd have just killed you. I was afraid you were gonna say yes. 'Cause you don't have the balls to go through with something like this, we both know that.

  • Vic Deakins: I say goddamn what a rush!

    [Deakins looks at the wreckage of the chopper]

    Vic Deakins: Whoo!

    Kelly: Son of a Bitch! Shockwave took down the damn chopper!

    Vic Deakins: That's EMP! Electro Magnetic Pulse! Nuclear blast sends it out for miles. Everything electrical *shuts down* including choppers and radios. Hell, we just shut down McMurran's field communications! That oughta put a *pretty little dent* in their response time, huh!

    Kelly: Deak, you da man!

    Vic Deakins: I'm da man.

  • [Hale has a shotgun on Deakins, but Deakins is holding a remote for the bomb]

    Riley Hale: You lose.

    Vic Deakins: I've still got my finger on the trigger. That's the *remote* trigger. See if I push this button here

    [DETONATE]

    Vic Deakins: *You lose!* But if I push this button here,

    [CANCEL]

    Riley Hale: [cocks the shotgun] So why don't you disarm it then?

    Vic Deakins: Yeah. Ain't it cool?

  • Kelly: [Deakins has just activated the nuke] Shut that sonuvabitch down, now! This ain't what I signed on for. I'm not ready to die, not for you.

    Vic Deakins: Everybody dies, Kelly. I'm as good a reason as any.

  • Pritchett: You assured me everything would go smoothly.

    Vic Deakins: Everything is going smoothly, I assure you.

  • Vic Deakins: [after the explosion] I say god-damn what a rush.

  • Riley Hale: There's no difference between you and a guy who shoots up a schoolyard. You've both got a-a head full of bad wiring.

    Vic Deakins: What was that?

    Riley Hale: You're fucked in the head, Deak.

    Vic Deakins: [Fires wildly at him] Hah.

    Riley Hale: I pissed him off.

  • Vic Deakins: Hale. Pick up. Pick up!

    [wheedling]

    Vic Deakins: C'mon buddy, pick up the 'phone.

    Vic Deakins: [Deakins crushes Pritchett's throat, by striking it with a Mag-lite. Pritchett falls back in his seat, choking to death] Hush... hush!

  • Vic Deakins: Smile boys we're about to retire!
