- Major David Kabakov: I should've killed the girl. You would have. At your age, I would have. What you do not know is that if I had the chance to pull the trigger tomorrow, I am not sure if I could. Doubt has entered in. That's no good.

And then I came back here, and my life was hell back here because she took it away from me, they, every single one of them took it away from me. All those guys, too. Yeah, I see them every Sunday. I see them from up there, down in the mass. Their little upturned faces and their two little weenies and a Coke, watching the big game, cheering the big game, because they cheer all the good things. They cheer the big game, and they cheer court-martials, and they love the big event because it makes them feel big, and I was going to give it to them big! They'd have been talking about that goddamned game for the next 5,000 years!

- Major David Kabakov: Robert? Do you remember, once you said to me if- peace, if real peace ever comes to Israel - you won't know how to live anymore. They'd have to put you down like an old war dog. Robert, I do want to be put down like an old dog. I am - what the Americans call "beat." I'm washed up. I'm through.
- FBI Agent Sam Corley: I'm going to have to give you a warning. In your own operational circle in Israel, I understand behind your back they call you "The Final Solution." A man who takes things to their ultimate conclusion and beyond.
- Major David Kabakov: Some of them say that to my face.
- FBI Agent Sam Corley: Yes. Well, you're not going to do it here. Whatever you may think of our methods, you'll play by our rules or leave.
- FBI Agent Sam Corley: What else, Mr. Robbie?
- Joseph Robbie: Well, there's the Goodyear blimp. That's got to fly.
