when r.l ermey is telling his boys not to underestimate taft...
you could drop this guy off in the middle of the arctic circle without his tooth brush, and the next day he's gonna show up at your poolside with a fistfull of pesos and a million dollar smile!
love that line.
it is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it
It's those kind of lines that some guy take half an hour to produce while writing the script but few could deliver in a conversation just out of the blue. :) But I guess that's one of the reasons it's so funny.
well since you're naked you might as well f___ a friend of mine. Paul come in here!
Ha Ha!! funny, today I was watching the movie on ION TV then I started to read your post, when I read the line, the guy on tv was saying it at the same time, what a coincidence. Lol.
If I remember right, the line actually starts, "You could drop this guy off AT the Arctic Circle...", meaning that Stone thinks that the Arctic Circle is a specific place, and not a line that's thousands of miles long. The line was probably supposed to be, "You could drop this guy off ABOVE the Arctic Circle," would be colder and more dangerous, and thus would have better attested to Seagal's super-awesomeness.

"You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear without his toothbrush and tomorrow afternoon he's gonna show up at your poolside with a million-dollar smile and a fistful of pesos."
R. Lee Ermey almost ran out of breath delivering that line. And I don't know how he got through it without bursting out laughing.
