Other Quotes: Rambo II Rambo III Trautman: It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It's all in the past now. Trautman: It's good to hear your voice Johnny, it's been a long time. Look John, you've done some damage here, they don't want anymore trouble. That's why I've come. I want to come in there and fly you the hell out. Just you and me. We'll work this thing out together. Is that fair enough? Rambo: Where did you come from Sir? Trautman: Bragg. Rambo: I tried to get in touch with you, but the guy's in Bragg never knew where to find you. Trautman: You know I haven't been spending much time there lately, they've got me down in D.C. I'm shining a seat with my ass. Rambo: I wish I was back in Bragg now. Trautman: We'll talk about that when you come in. Rambo: I can't do that Sir. Trautman: Look John, we can't have you running around out there killing friendly civilians. Rambo: There are no friendly civilians! Trautman: But I'm your friend Johnny! I was there with you knee-deep in all that blood and guts. I covered your ass more than once. Seems like baling you out of trouble's got to be a life-time achievement for me. Rambo: There wouldn't be no trouble except for that king shit cop! All I wanted was something to eat. But the man kept pushing Sir. Trautman: Well you did some pushing on your own John. Rambo: They drew first blood, not me. Trautman: Look Johnny, let me come in and get you the hell out of there!

That's gonna look real good on his grave stone in Arlington: Here lies John Rambo, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, survivor of countless incursions behind enemy lines. Killed for vagrancy in Jerkwater, USA. Teasle: Now don't give me any of that crap Trautman. Do you think Rambo was the only guy who had a tough time in Vietnam? He killed a police officer for Christ's sake! Trautman: You're goddamn lucky he didn't kill all of you. Trautman: You are the last of an elite group, don't end it like this. Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job washin' cars. Rambo: For me civilian life is nothing!

Trautman: God didn't make Rambo, I made him! Trautman: I don't think you understand. I didn't come to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him. Teasle: Well, we all appreciate your concern Colonel, I will try to be extra careful! Trautman: I'm just amazed he allowed any of your posse to live. Teasle: Is that right? Trautman: Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You're lucky to be breathing. Teasle: That's just great! Colonel, you came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket! Trautman: You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerilla warfare. With a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, to ignore weather, to live off the land. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill, period! Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best! Rambo: I could have killed 'em all, I could kill you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go. Teasle: Are you telling me that 200 of our men against your boy is a no-win situation for us?

And he's laying there fucking screaming, his pieces all over me, just like this, and I tried to pull him off you know, and my friend he's all over me and I got blood and everything and I kinda tried to hold him together, put him together and nobody would help! Nobody would help! Rambo: Sometimes I wake up and I don't know where I am. And I don't talk to anybody. Sometimes a day. Sometimes a week. Can't put it out of my mind. Rambo: [Shouting] I don't like it here, I mean, the people, there is no brotherhood between them. I flew choppers and drove tanks, back there, they let me operate million dollar equipment, back here I'm nothing! Nothing! I can't even hold down a job at a car wash!
