The Men Who Stare at Goats

* Bob Wilton: The little man inside me dismissed Lacey as a nut. You know the little man. He's the one who says "Keep your head down. Stay in your little town, your little job. You're a lucky guy. Your wife loves you. You have everything you want. You're not looking for some great adventure." But then, one day, when you least expect it... the great adventure finds you.


* Bob Wilton: I might never have gone. But as it was, I did what so many men have done throughout history when a woman has broken their heart. I went to war.


* Bob Wilton: Be careful what you wish for. I wanted to prove myself. And for my sins... fate taught me a lesson.


* Their gentleness is their strength.

* Brigadier General Dean Hopgood's Commander: But why did the Soviets begin this type of research?
   Brigadier General Dean Hopgood: Well, sir, it looks like they found out about our attempt to telepathically communicate with one of our nuclear subs, the Nautilus, while it was under the polar cap.
   Commander: What attempt?
   Hopgood: There was no attempt. Seems the story was a French hoax. But the Russians think the story about the story being a French hoax is just a story, sir.
   Commander: So they've started doing psi research because they thought we were doing psi research when we weren't doing psi research?
   Hopgood: Yes, sir. But now that they are doing psi research, we're gonna have to do psi research, sir. We can't afford to have the Russians leading the field in the paranormal.


* Lyn Cassady: Bob, have you ever heard of optimum trajectory?
   Bob Wilton: What?
   Lyn: Optimum trajectory. Your life is like a river. If you're aiming for a goal that isn't your destiny, you're always gonna be swimming against the current. Young Gandhi wants to be a stock-car driver. It's not gonna happen. Little Anne Frank wants to be a high school teacher. Tough titty, Anne. It's not your destiny. But you will go on to move the hearts and minds of millions.
   Find out what your destiny is, and the river will carry you.


* Lyn Cassady: You learned a lesson. Whatever you fear most has no power over you. It's the fear that has the power.
   Bob: Bill?
   Lyn: Oprah.


* Bill Django: Primal scream, Belgian waffle, ginseng, and amphetamines. Not to be abused, but very fucking handy.


* Bob Wilton: The silence of the goats.


* Lyn: It's cancer.
   Bob: What?
   Lyn: I mean, I know it was the Dim Mak that caused it. It's cancer. At least that's what the doctors say. There's different ways of looking at... different names for a reality.

Mother Earth, you are my life-support system.
As a solider, I must drink your blue water,
live inside your red clay, and eat your green skin.
Help me to balance myself as you hold in balance the earth,
the sea, and the space environments.
Help me to open my heart, knowing that the universe will feed me.
I pray my boots will always kiss your face,
and my footsteps match your heartbeat.
Carry my body through space and time.
You are my connection to the universe and all that comes after.
I am yours, and you are mine.
I salute you.

* Bill Django: I've developed a massive tolerance to all narcotics.


* Bill Django: In the name of the New Earth Army and loving people everywhere, I'm liberating you. I'm liberating this base!

( Поначалу казалось, что прикольненько. Муть. 1.5 часа убитого времени. Возможно, просмотр под травой и помог бы асилить гениальность этого кина.
