First Blood

Rambo: [in Teasle's cruiser] You got some place I can eat around here? Teasle: There's a diner about thirty miles up the highway. Rambo: Is there any law against me getting something here? Teasle: Yeah. Me. Rambo: Why are you pushing me? Teasle: What did you say? Rambo: I said, why are you pushing me? I haven't done anything to you.

Rambo: There's one man dead! It's not my fault! I don't want any more hurt! Rambo: But I didn't do anything! Sheriff Teasle: I'm warning you boy, don't make a move or I'll blow your head off! Rambo: I didn't do anything!

Deputy Lester: I was just talking to Mitch, and he said that Gault and a couple of the deputies were… a little hard on the guy. Capt. Kern: Assholes! Sheriff Teasle: It doesn't make one goddamn bit of difference, Dave, and you know it! If one of my deputies gets out of line with a prisoner, then the prisoner comes to me with it. And if I find out it's like he says I kick the deputy's ass, Me, the law! People start fucking around with the law then all hell breaks loose! Whatever possessed God in heaven to make a man like Rambo? Trautman: [entering] God didn't make Rambo. I made him! Teasle: Who the hell are you? Trautman: Sam Trautman. Colonel Samuel Trautman. Teasle: Look, we're a little busy this morning, Colonel. What can I do for you? Trautman: I've come to get my boy. Kern: Your boy? Trautman: I recruited him. I trained him. I commanded him in Vietnam for three years. I'd say that makes him mine. Teasle: I wonder why the Pentagon would send a full-bird colonel down here to handle t

Trautman: Not Delmar Barry. He made it. Rambo: Barry's gone too sir. Col. Trautman: How? Rambo: Got himself killed in Nam, didn't even know it. Cancer ate him down to the bone. Col. Trautman: I'm sorry. I didn't know. Rambo: I'm the last one sir. Col. Trautman: Hey, it's good to hear your voice Johnny. It's been a long time.

Sheriff Teasle: He was just another drifter who broke the law! Col. Trautman: Vagrancy, wasn't it? That's gonna look real good on his gravestone in Arlington: Here lies John Rambo, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, survivor of countless incursions behind enemy lines. Killed for vagrancy in Jerkwater, USA. Teasle: Now don't give me any of that crap, Trautman. Do you think Rambo was the only guy who had a tough time in Vietnam? He killed a police officer for Christ's sake! Trautman: You're goddamn lucky he didn't kill all of you!

Col. Trautman: Rambo! Rambo, don't do it. Listen to me, Rambo. You have no chance, so drop your weapon. I'm going to order a chopper in and fly you back to Bragg. [men open fire, but Rambo ducks] Hold your fire, Kern! Kern: Yeah? Trautman: Hold your fire! Kern: [through megaphone] Hold your fire! Hold your fire! Col. Trautman: Think about what you're doing. The building's perimeter's covered, no exits. There are nearly 200 men out there, and a lot of M-16s. You did everything to make this private war happen. You've done enough damage! This mission is over, Rambo. Do you understand me? This mission is over. Look at 'em out there. Look at 'em! If you won't end this now, they're going to kill you. Is that what you want? It's over, Johnny. It's over! Rambo: Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me. I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win, but somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world, and I see all those maggots at th
