KGB Major: Do you want to see me? Colonel Bella: Yes ... yes. Go to the sporting goods store. From the files, obtain forms 4473. These will contain descriptions of weapons, and lists of private ownership.

Jed Eckert: Matt and I have been coming up to these mountains with our dad our whole lives. We can hunt, we can fish, we can stay up here a long, long time. Robert: How long, Jed? Jed Eckert: [indicating the jets above them] Until we don't hear that no more.

General Bratchenko: What is a "Wolverine"? Colonel Bella: A small animal...like a badger, but terribly ferocious. It is also the name of the local school sports collective. Bratchenko: They're beasts, Ernesto. You must kill every one of them eventually. It's the same as Afghanistan. They'll never stop. Bella: Look. I was always on the side of the insurgents. I have no experience in these matters. But it would seem necessary to win the support of the people. As our opponents used to say in Vietnam: "Win their hearts and minds." Bratchenko: And they lost, Ernesto. Bella: Of course, General. Bratchenko: Things are paralyzed at the front, Ernesto. Morale is crucial right now. Keep the men in the secured areas. You'll see how they forget about these [to Bella in disdain] "Wolverines." Nicaraguan Captain: [to Colonel Bella] Are you all right?! Bella: [gesturing impatiently to others fallen nearby] Yes, yes, help them! [to Bratchenko] You were saying, comrade? Huh?! Bratchenko: Shut up!

Erica Mason: You American? Col. Andrew Tanner: [Indicating the American flag on his flight suit] Red-blooded. Mason: What's the capital of Texas? Tanner: Austin. Mason: [proceeds to kick Col. Tanner; racking the bolt on her AK-47] Wrong, commie; it's Houston! Tanner: Easy, darlin'! I'm cold... and you've seen too many movies!

Col. Tanner: You the honcho, sport? Jed: Who're you? Col. Tanner: Andrew Tanner, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Air Force. Jed: How'd you get yourself shot down, Colonel? Tanner: It was five to one. I got four. Jed: I'm Jed. Col. Tanner: How you doing, Jed? Jed: Good as can be.

Col. Tanner: [gestures to parts of the campfire] West Coast, East Coast. Down here's Mexico. First wave of the attack came in disguised as commercial charter flights, same way they did in Afghanistan in '80. They were crack airborne outfits. They took these passes in the Rockies. Jed: So that's what hit Calumet? Col. Tanner: I guess so. They coordinated with selective nuke strikes, and the missiles were a hell of a lot more accurate than we thought; they took out the silos here in the Dakotas, key points of communication. Darryl: Like what? Col. Tanner: Oh, like Omaha, Washington, Kansas City. Darryl: Gone? Col. Tanner: Yeah. That's right. Darryl: Jesus Christ. Col. Tanner: Infiltrators, came up illegal; Cubans, mostly. They managed to infiltrate SAC bases in the Midwest, several down in Texas, wreaked a hell of a lot of havoc, I'm here to tell. They opened up the door, and the whole Cuban and Nicaraguan armies come walking right through, rolled right up here through the Great Plains.
