Quotes 

• Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Man, I am so high from not sleeping. So check this out. Maybe they didn't issue the wrong color fatigues for the invasion. Maybe our blouses actually aren't green. Maybe they are desert beige. You know, like, sometimes, colors actually start to look different when you're so sleep deprived? Like the sun, it looks red, when it actually is yellow. You know, maybe our blouses aren't green. We're just so fucking sleep deprived that that's the way that they look to us.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Are you making this up?

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Fuck yeah, I'm making this up. Passes the time, brother!

• Cpl. Josh Ray Person : [about Baptista]  He's not even a citizen. He snuck in from whatever greaseball country he's from and now he's a marine. You know, there should be at least some grammar tests before you're out here, blowing shit up with heavy weapons.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : If they did that, fucking buck-toothed, cross-eyed, sister fucking hicks like you wouldn't get in either.

• Lance Cpl. Harold James Trombley : You got something against marriage, sarge?

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Brad got dumped.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : My sweetheart since junior high dumps me and marries my best friend since junior high. And the best part about it? We're still all friends. They're that kind of happy couple that likes to hang photos of themselves all over their goddamn house. Sometimes I just go over there to see my ex-fiancee doing the things that I used to do with her with my best friends. It's nice having friends.

• Doc Bryan : Where did we get that so-called translator?

  Lt. Nathaniel Fick : He told me he worked for General Mattis.

  Evan 'Scribe' Wright : He told me he worked for the CIA.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Back at Mathilda, he said he could hook me up with a free satellite TV.

• Cpl. Josh Ray Person : [to Brad]  I see foot-mobiles. 12 o'clock, a 100 metres. Damn! Brad! They're fucking hotties! I didn't know hajis could be hotties. I thought they were all camel-faced hags.

  [to the haji hotties] 

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : As-salaam alaykum, ladies.

  [to Brad] 

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Damn, homey. Better than when I was in my band!

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : 'Cause they haven't heard you play.
