WALKEN: "Is there something with 'D' that I didn't get?"
DOCTOR: "Yeah, DEAD!"
WALKEN: "In MY jungle you'd be just another a$$hole"
WALKEN: "When you grow up, you'll never be nothin' but a beggar"
(After Walken leaves the room) "Don't worry, he's expendable."
WALKEN (to the new President): "You're LATE!" (then shoots him)
Shannon (negotiating with Arms Dealer): "How much?"
Arms Dealer: "15,000"
Shannon: "Pounds, Dollars, or Francs?"
Arms Dealer: "Pounds"
Shannon: "Francs"
Arms Dealer: "Dollars"
Shannon: "Okay, but it's $10,000"
Talk about being comfortable with international business!
Love the part where Walken is naming off the endemic birds in Latin...! His deadpan delivery is timeless as always...
Endean on the phone-
"No. He's no idea what's at stake.
I don't believe he can even spell 'Platinum'."
I shudder to think that perhaps our current POTUS is equally ignorant of his role on the throne.
What struck me about that scene is that Endean switched the light on, saw the company's dead minion but did not miss a beat, carrying on with his phone conversation with, presumably, Manson.
"Chicken soup - with a *beep* straw."
BERENGER: "Hi, I'm from the Boyscouts of America"
WALKEN:"You gotta' be alive to get paid"
You need the extended DVD ver for this line as it was originally cut (probably because it is insulting to us Canadians). That said, as a Canadian soldier, it made me really laugh the way it was delivered so matter of factly:
Setting is in Baker's (arms dealer) hotel room discussing the XM18:
Shannon: "you ever been in combat yourself?"
Baker: "well, I'm a Canadian..."
Of course some of the best stuff is during the customs "shake down" at the airport:
Customs Officer: (indicating the 2 bottles of Glen Fiddich single malt scotch) "you have a drinking problem, Mr Brown?"
Shannon: "I heard there might be a problem with the water..."
Customs Officer: "there is" (taking one of the bottles).
Another:
Endeane: "Shannon, why don't you brief us on the details of your strike plan?"
Shannon: "Why? You planning on coming along?"
I must echo the immortal, "You're LATE!" one of my favorites of all time, followed by it's corollary, "you're nobody."
shareI'm about to watch it again, and I just recalled another I don't think anyone's mentioned:
Ship Captain: "Every cargo has its own kind of trouble; what's yours?"
Shannon: "Just trouble."

Ship Captain: "Every cargo has its own kind of trouble. Whats is your cargo?"
Derek: "Just trouble!"
