The Unit, Season 1

Jonas:
You been training for this moment your entire life. The universe has been conspiring, if you think about it, to put you right here, right now. Off you go, we're all waitin' on ya.

Molly Blane:
[to Kim, who has packed her car to leave the base] You say you love him. Now are you brave enough to act on it? Here you are, a pretty little girl - fine daughter - a child on the way, a man in combat. You're frightened, and you want him home. This is not your own special circumstance. You know what this is? It is the history of the world. You want to think about that for a moment.

Kim:
Army regulations state...

Molly:
You aren't in the Army. You're in the Unit.

Jonas:
This is my house, here, which means that's your house, there.

Bob:
I don't even have a key.

Jonas:
Well, there's not much crime in this neighborhood.

Bob:
My waffle shirt...

Kim:
It's coming.

Bob:
You sent it on the truck.

Kim:
Most of the things we shipped.

(Bob turns away in disgust)

Kim:
I gave you one child, I'm carrying another - presumably yours - so don't take that attitude!

Molly:
"Is my husband happy in his work?" Well, you know the problem is stress, but the stress is mine. (Dr. Willey hands Molly a photograph)

Molly:
What we have here - this a photograph of a broken mirror.

Dr. Willey:
And you're saying that some stressed out person fired those two shots into the mirror.

Molly:
Yes, I did.

Dr. Willey:
You fired those shots.

Molly:
Yes I did.

Dr. Willey:
At a rat.

Molly:
At a rat, yes.

Dr. Willey:
And you missed the rat, but you grouped two shots - .45 pistol, two shot group, both in the kill zone, with your husband's pistol.

Molly:
My husband's pistol, yes.

Brown:
Did you indicate, sir, that i'm entitled to the services of an attorney?

FBI Agent Griffiths:
Do you have something to conceal Sgt.?

Brown:
I do not.

FBI Agent Griffiths:
Then why would you wish an attorney?

Brown:
Are you an attorney, sir?

FBI Agent Griffiths:
Just answer my questions.

Indonesian Farmer:
There are those things that cannot be fixed with a sunny disposition.

Colonel Ryan:
Well, to the bad guys it's chaos, but to us it's a precision assault by perfect shooters.

(Brown tells the team he's sorry for making them miss their mission)

Mac:
"Sorry" is what you tell your girlfriend when you finish too early.

Susan:
I have a job to do.

Jonas:
I want you to postpone it.

Susan:
Why should I?

Jonas:
[Takes a card from his pocket and writes his number down] Take this card. Hold on to it.

Susan:
What is that?

Jonas:
No matter how blessed our lives, how charmed our existence, things still, inevitably, irrevocably, go wrong. Your mother is swindled out of her savings. Your estranged husband runs off with your kids. Your best friend goes on vacation in a foreign land and disappears. Eventually, bad things find us all. You ever hear of the Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card? This is a Get-Out-of-Hell card. At some point in your life, God forbid, you have no where else to turn, call that number. That is why you are going to postpone your job.

Susan:
Two hours.

(Molly starts pulling plates out of the cupboard and pauses)

Molly:
How many, ya think?

Jonas:
She bring laundry?

Molly:
Mm-hmm...

Jonas:
Set for three.

(in the kitchen, getting ready for dinner)

Molly:
You gonna talk to her?

Jonas:
Said she'd talk to me. I imagine that's what she'll do.

Molly:
And you'll "daddy" her up, but you won't put it to her.

Jonas':
Don't tell me what I'm gonna do.

Molly:
Then show me what you're gonna do.

Jonas:
Be careful... Even the dumbest of generals wouldn't start a two-front war.

Bob:
(pointing to a picture of the target) He reminds me of someone.

Jonas:
Does he.

Bob:
My wife's grandad, maybe. What does that make him, my grandfather-in-law?

Jonas:
Did grandfather-in-law ever bomb a busload of schoolchildren?

Bob:
Not that I know of.

Jonas:
That's one big difference, then.

(Jonas declines an offer of a cigar)

Iranian Security Agent:
What's permitted to others is not permitted to you.

Jonas:
The injunction of the Roman Legionnaire.

Iranian Security Agent:
Ah! I see I've found a fellow scholar.

Jonas:
No, just another old soldier.

Iranian Security Agent:
Well it's better than civilian life.

Jonas:
As what is not?

Jonas:
And what precaution have we ever found unnecessary?

Iranian Security Agent:
Which is why we two old soldiers may be fated to die in bed

Jonas:
Now wouldn't that be a hell of a thing.

Iranian Security Agent:
(talking to Jonas) Goodbye my friend. I trust we kept you occupied. It was hard to distract an old warrior, but I succeeded. I enjoyed our time together. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose.

Kilo Six Alpha:
Radio check, over.

Jonas:
You're coming in broken and stupid.

Jonas:
I would appreciate it, if in front of our friends (gesturing to Bob and Kim) you will tell me why you doubt my word? I mean, am I known as a man of my word?

Molly:
Not when it comes to housework.

Jonas:
Seeking glory was Napoleon's downfall.

Sgt. Coots:
And those claim not to, lie.

Bob:
(putting the lucky charm away) Just trying to keep the missus happy.

Jonas:
Keep your team happy. Next time I see you packing crap instead of ammunition I'll strip you naked and start from stratch.

(Kim lands a job at a radio station)

Radio Host:
(Notices a gun in Kim's purse) You have a gun.

Kim:
You want to reconsider that advance? Bob got me a permit for it.

Radio Host:
Is it loaded?

Kim:
Well it's silly to carry it otherwise. Offends your sensibilities?

Radio Host:
I don't believe in them, I'm more the poetic type.

Kim:
You don't find a pistol poetic? You ever heard of "Poetic Justice"?

Secretary of State:
(to Bob) Daniel, you just screwed yourself out of a military career. We will go forward as planned; you will get me to this meeting and once we get back to the plane, I will see to your dishonorable discharge; personally

Jonas:
advice to cancel a Government meeting is ignored)

Kayla:
Why would-

Jonas:
The Secretary of State ignore our advice? Well okay, because A: to skip this meeting would threaten a fledgling democracy in Africa, and would weaken our position in the region.

Kayla':
And B?

Jonas:
Because the man fancies himself a cowboy.

(After finding Bob at the widow's house)

Bob:
Kim!

Kim:
A block from here, our daughter is sleeping, trusting in her bed.

Bob:
Kim...

Kim:
Stay away from me.

(After learning that the money was swindled)

Kim:
You lost all our money?

Molly:
I'm taking it on myself. I'm paying you all back.

Agent Bluman:
You just lied to the Governor of Georgia.

Jonas Blane:
Now is that a sin, or just a crime?

Jonas 'Snake Doctor' Blane:
[Jonas has discovered the missing money in their account] How do I earn my money? I do not make cornflakes for a living. I earn my money at the risk of my life out there, letting the scum of the earth shoot at me. You *know* that's how I make my living. That's why my bosses pay me... and you wish it away.

Bob Brown:
When you see Indians, be careful. When you don't see any Indians, be twice as careful.
