Kilgore: [after the Red Team gunship spectacularly knocks out a heavy AA artillery unit] Outstanding, Red Team, outstanding! Get you a case of beer for that one.

[Redux version] [after Roxanne asks if Willard will go back to America after the war and he replies no] Roxanne: Then you are like us; your home is here.

It’s one thing to go into a fight knowing you’ll probably lose. Quite another to be told that to win, you must offer up your throat to be slit.
