Boy, you're going to be busier than a three-peckered goat. Rules of engagement: 1. Whoever sees the other person first is the winner; 2. Whoever gets seen first is toast. When we have mastered these tactics, we will use them to seek out and confront the forces of evil and kill them deader than hell! [describing what he expects of his protégé] A 1st class all American hero with his heart and brain wired together cooking full tilt boogie for freedom and justice! Make that damn thing go away, son! [demonstrating Apache's capabilities to Preston] You could crash this thing at twenty G's and survive, but I am NOT going to prove it to you! Once a helicopter battle has been engaged, someone is going to die. You boys do not have the speed to run away from a fight. Jake Preston [to Brad] Well. That's very big of you, Little. I AM THE GREATEST! Time to throw the dog a bone, Breaker. [Jake is trying to rescue Guthrie from Stoller] You're not touching her, you filthy piece of shit! Oops. You blew it. Billie Lee Guthrie [commiserating with Jake after he fails a test] It's like sex, hardly anyone gets it right the first time. Dialogue Jake: Breaker, strawberry gum? Breaker: No. Jake: How about you, sir. Strawberry gum? Brad: [angrily] No! Jake: [dead pan] It's delicious? Taglines The best just got better.
