• JJ's Dad : What's the one thing I've taught you since you were little? The one rule in life?

  JJ Collins : Never stop fighting.

• Shah : I don't think this is what heroes look like.

  JJ Collins : That's exactly what they look like.

• JJ Collins : Hey. Another thing. Never call a woman by anything other than her name. Not honey, or honey pie, or sugar, or sugar pie, or sweetie, or sweetie pie. Not baby, sweetheart, ho, bitch, and above all, most of all, beyond all else, don't ever, ever, call her darlin'.

• Beaver : [to Shah]  Hey, we still on for tonight?

  Shah : Dude, what?

  Beaver : Poker. I want to whip them janitors like last time.

  Shah : Not now, Beaver.

  Beaver : What's wrong with now?

  Shah : We're in an emergency.

  Beaver : Man, this ain't no emergency. It's one crackpot with a grudge.

  [dips his finger in a cup of yogurt] 

  Beaver : [to Captain Collins]  I'd invite you, Ma'am, but there'll probably be a bit of locker room talk.

  [lasciviously licks the white yogurt off his finger] 

  Beaver : [to Shah]  I've been practicing against some of the best players in the world with this little green guy

  [points to green notebook] 

  Beaver : . Thing's probably more powerful than this entire room.

  JJ Collins : Great story, Beaver. In what chapter do you shut the f**k up?

• Game Theorist : By my calculations, your proposed plan has a 14% chance of success. To give up that command center to a superior force with no certainty of regaining it is what we refer to as a negative outcome inducing event. Are you serious with this shit? Are you willing to gamble every life in America on your ability to retake the center?

  JJ Collins : I am.

  Game Theorist : I'm sorry. I cannot endorse such a move.

  JJ Collins : Listen, genius. You're saying my plan is running at 14%? Yours is zero! You haven't been beat up, strangled, or shot defending this rig today. So I think you'll find I'm kind of fucking motivated here.

• President Wallace : Oh, and you have another visitor.

  JJ Collins : Papa?

  JJ's Dad : J.J.

  JJ Collins : I... I thought you were...

  President Wallace : Turns out your dad has some very well armed Army buddies watching over him in that retirement home.

  JJ's Dad : They saw what was happening on TV. Broke down my goddamn door.

  [holding up his bandaged hand] 

  JJ's Dad : Saved my finger. Lost my door.

• Alexander : Whether or not you and I are enemies is completely up to you.

  JJ Collins : What's your name?

  Alexander : My name is Alexander Kessel.

  JJ Collins : You say that like I should know it.

  Alexander : And now that you do, you will never forget it.

  JJ Collins : How about I just call you asshole?

  Alexander : [chuckles]  You know, usually it takes a woman a second to reach that conclusion.

  JJ Collins : Nothing usual about me.
