Black Hawk Down quotes

McKnight : How are things going? Things okay there, Struecker?
Struecker : I don't wanna talk about it now, Colonel. I'm busy!
Thomas : Sergeant Pilla's hit! Christ, he's fucked up!
McKnight : Is anybody hit? Struecker, talk to me!
Struecker : It's Sergeant Pilla!
McKnight : What's his status? What's his status?
"Hoot" : He's dead!
Struecker : He's dead. Pilla's dead, sir.
McKnight : C2, this is McKnight, we have a KIA: Dominick Pilla, over.
Harell : Roger that.
Struecker : Get on that fifty! Someone get on that fifty!
"Hoot" : It's mine!

McKnight

Eversmann : I was talking to Blackburn the other day, and he asked me "What changed? Why are we going home?" and I said "Nothing." That's not true either; I think everything's changed. I know I've changed.
Eversmann : You know a friend of mine asked me before I got here; it's when we were all shipping out. He asked me "Why are you going to fight somebody else's war? What, do you think you're heroes?" I didn't know what to say at the time, but if he'd ask me again I'd say no. I'd say there's not way in hell. Nobody asks to be a hero.
Eversmann : It just sometimes turns out that way.

Eversmann

Sanderson : So where did they find you?
Grimes : Behind a desk.
Grimes : No really.
