No no no it would bore you darling.

- Sam and Tom

Oh, your father's quite exploded all over my face. And not in the good way!

What's a bad ass? Is it a problematic donkey?
No!
You got IBS?
No it's just
an expression I picked up from some of the Americans on the way to the front line. Badass it means like you're a you know you're a motherfucker.
Stop the jeep, we got a pervert onboard!
No no no this is another expression the Americans use.
Start the jeep again.
It means you're bad.
Oh well, that's not good? We are the good guys?

This is that moment. As long as we get that ammo, otherwise we're fucked.
Otherwise this is just kind of pointless, you know? We've just been sort of sent over here by the ruling classes to fight in their name and to be honest really it wasn't worth it for us. But you know, that's the nature of war, innit?

- Tom and Sam

You're alright mate, you're alright! You're a bad ass fucker!
Yeah, your mother is... bad!

(Luke as a german soldier) What happen there, you had the prisoner in front of you?
(Luke as Keith pretending to be a german soldier) Yeah yeah, I did I sent him back there with a message...
(AJ as himself) We're here if you want?
(Tom as himself) No, we shouldn't interrupt the conversation. You two work it out.
