First Blood

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 sh*t 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!

Rambo:
They drew first blood...

Trautman:
Rambo, are you still reading me? Company leader to Raven! Rambo! Acknowledge!

Teasle:
He was just another drifter who broke the law!

Trautman:
Vagrancy wasn't it? 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:
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:
You picked the wrong man to push.

Teasle:
No, Trautman, HE picked the wrong man.

Trautman:
That boy's a heart attack! He may be the best the Special Forces ever produced. Whatever you're planning to throw at him here, he's been through a whole lot worse, in lot worse places than this. 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 machiens blew a gasket!

Trautman:
You don't seem to want to accep the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla 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, 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 atrition. 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?

Trautman:
You send that many, don't forget one thing.

Teasle:
What?

Trautman:
A good supply of body bags.

Trautman:
Company leader to identify Baker Team - Rambo, Messner, Ortega, Coletta, Jurgensen, Barry, Krakauer confirm! This is Colonel Trautman.

Rambo:
They're all gone Sir.

Trautman:
Not Barry, he made it.

Rambo:
Barry's gone too Sir. Got himself killed in Nam, didn't even know it. Cancer ate him down to the bone.

Trautman:
I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Rambo:
I'm the last one Sir.

Rambo:
There's one man dead! It was not my fault! I don't want anymore hurt!

Teasle:
Freeze! Give yourself up!

Rambo:
But I didn't do anything!

Teasle:
I'm warning you boy, don't make a move or I'll blow your head off!

Rambo:
"I didn't do anything!

Orval:
"Let's do some huntin'!

Preston:
Hunting? We ain't huntin' him, he's huntin' us!

Trautman:
You did everything to make this private war happen. You've done enough damage. This mission is over, Rambo. Do you understand me? This mission is over! Look at them out there! Look at them! If you won't end this now, they will kill you. Is that what you want? It's over Johnny. It's over!

Rambo:
Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!

Trautman:
It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It's all in the past now.

Rambo:
FOR YOU! For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!

Trautman:
You're 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 PARKING CARS!

Rambo:
We were in this bar in Saigon and this kid comes up, this kid carrying a shoe-shine box. And he says "Shine, please, shine!" I said no. He kept askin', yeah, and Joey said "Yeah." And I went to get a couple of beers, and the box was wired, and he opened up the box, f***ing blew his body all over the place. And he's laying there, he's f***ing screaming. There's pieces of him all over me, just... (Takes off his bandolier) like this, and I'm tryin' to pull him off, you know, my friend that's all over me! I've got blood and everything and I'm tryin' to hold him together! I'm puttin'... the guy's f***in' insides keep coming out! And nobody would help! Nobody would help! He's saying, sayin' "I wanna go home! I wanna go home!" He keeps calling my name! "I wanna go home, Johnny! I wanna drive my Chevy!" I said "Why? I can't find your f***in' legs! I can't find your legs!"

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.

Deputy Sergeant Arthur Gault:
If you don't fly this thing right, I swear to god I'm going to kill you.

Teasle:
They found Rambo's body. As a matter of fact, it stole an army truck. Blew up a gas station the other side of town.

Trautman:
The kid is resiliant.

Rambo:
Drive!

Rambo:
Don't look at me, look at the road! That's how accidents happen.

MITCH:
Hunting? We ain't hunting him,He's hunting us!

Come on Leroy, sling that paint boy!
