In the immortal words of Jay-Z: "Whatever deity may guide my life, dear lord don't let me die tonight. But if I shall before I wake, I'd accept my fate." I came here when I was fourteen, with a life expectancy of thirteen. I was bounced around from home to home until this... became my home. Guys would line up outside that door to fight me. They whooped my skinny ass so much I started to enjoy it. Until one winter, I grew eight inches, gained sixty pounds, punched a guy so hard he couldn't move his arm to tap out. Then when the Joes came recruiting to the hood, I'd already beaten down half of it. I became a Joe to serve. In the field. So if we're fighting uphill, we take the hill. Damn ninjas. Zartan [greeting Cobra Commander] Cool mask! Well the good news is no global warming summit next month. Why does anyone want to be president? Everybody wants to rule the world. On my orders, the covert special forces unit, codenamed Cobra, terminated with extreme prejudice Joe command, facilities, personnel. The GI Joes... are no more. You know, they call it a waterboard... but I never get bored! Firefly - good to see we're not running low on crazy. Joe Colton DOD says I can't come out of retirement. They didn't say anything about re-enlisting. It's not like I don't hear what you're saying. But an impostor president? [sneaking up behind the Joes] I'll take 2 boxes of Thin Mints and a box of Chuckle Lucks. President Is this where I ask you what you have planned? Lady Jaye Hustle up guys. You've got to get that defector and get the hell out of there. No delays. Warden Nigel James Snake Eyes. Last place I thought I'd see you. Warden James. It's a pleasure. I'm a very big fan. I love the black. It's very Johnny Cash. Listen to me. I sound like a real estate agent. I'm not here to sell you anything. Except maybe hopelessness. [laughs] Cobra Commander Destro... you're out of the band. The Cobra revolution has begun. Flint Well how come when the general says it, it sounds crazy? Firefly [beating Roadblock] I want to see that face. The one where you realize today's the day. It's the face all those pretty little Joes had in the desert when I lit them all up like fireworks! Making more things go boom before 9 am. than most people do all day. Dialogue Joe Colton: You alright? Lady Jaye: Yeah. Are you alright? Joe Colton: My cholesterol's a little high. Flint: We have to assume that there's no one we could trust. Roadblock: There is one man. He's the reason we call ourselves Joes. Roadblock: General. Joe Colton: Call me Joe. Captain Duke Hauser: Drive it like you stole it! Roadblock: As your good friend, you need a new catchphrase. Captain Duke Hauser: Anyone ever tell you, you fight ugly? Roadblock: Not from their backs they don't. Roadblock: [seeing Mouse is nervous] My first drop, I popped a live round into my mouth. It keeps your teeth from chattering. Give it a shot. [gives him a bullet, which he puts into his mouth] Mouse: Delicious. Roadblock: That's on the rise. Like your panties. Captain Duke Hauser: You love my panties. [pause] Roadblock: That's an interesting choice of a joke. Of all the things you could say... Captain Duke Hauser: Alright, ok, I'm just saying... Roadblock: You love my panties? Captain Duke Hauser: Are you going to shut up? Roadblock: What does that mean? Roadblock: [to Snake Eyes, after planning to take down Cobra Commander] Snake Eyes, how's all of that sound? [Snake Eyes is silent] Roadblock: That's what I thought. Zartan: You know, they say this is a thankless job. But yesterday, I hung out with Bono. My new secret service; they want to burn the constitution. Literally. Do you know my favorite bit? I get to blow stuff up. President: I bet that endears you to the people. Zartan: Well that's the thing. Your approval ratings climbed nine points. Apparently, America wants someone who looks like you but acts like me. Lady Jaye: My dad could see me now... Flint: What are you talking about? Lady Jaye: You wouldn't believe it. Flint: Why? Lady Jaye: Third generation military. He desperately wanted a fourth. My mom had me. Flint: Well he must be really proud of you then. Lady Jaye: He didn't believe in female soldiers. I finally asked him why. He said he didn't want to put his life in the hands of a woman. I enlisted the next day. Spent the next seven years trying to outrank him so he'd have to salute me. Flint: Did it work? Lady Jaye: He died before I got the chance. Firefly: [after punching the president] That was for the tax high. Zartan: Like you pay taxes. Firefly: Ain't always about me. Roadblock: Where can we find you, general? Joe Colton: Just need my orders. Roadblock: You know we'd make a hell of a team. Joe Colton: [offering his car] It idles a little rough in neutral. Roadblock: I ain't gonna be in neutral. Joe Colton: Hoo-rah. French Leader: You will have to answer for this... to your Congress... your courts. Cobra Commander: Correction: *They* will have to answer to *ME*. Indian Leader: What is it you want? Cobra Commander: I want it all!
