Starship Troopers: Invasion (2012)

David Matranga: Johnny Rico

Quotes 

• Johnny Rico : [Opening Lines]  I always get the shakes before a drop. I had the injections. Hypnotic prep. The Federation shrink scanned my brainwaves. Everything checked out. Doc says it wasn't fear. I could have told him that. A horse locked in the starting gate isn't afraid. He's just ready to run.

• Johnny Rico : Are we Carl?

  Dr. Carl Jenkins : Pardon?

  Johnny Rico : Are we? Working together?

  Dr. Carl Jenkins : Cheer up Johnny, you're a hero.

  Johnny Rico : No, no I'm not. But I met one.

• Johnny Rico : Goddamn you, Carl!

• Johnny Rico : This is General Rico to Earth Defense Command. The John A. Warden is under bug control and entering Earth's atmosphere.

  High Command : It's what? The John A. Warden? Rico, I don't care if John A. Warden is on that ship himself! If that ship is infested, you take it down!

  Johnny Rico : Just give me a chance to do both, sir. Rescue our men and gain control.

  High Command : [Doubtfully]  Rico...

  Johnny Rico : Commander, I promise a bug invasion will not happen on my watch, sir.

  High Command : It better not.

  Johnny Rico : Spaceborne Command, prepare a drop.

• High Command : Rico, you're not a trooper anymore. Remember that.

  Johnny Rico : I'm always a trooper. And if there are any of our men alive on that ship, I'm getting them out.

  High Command : Should've known you'd say that. Kill them any way you can. Kill them all. In T-minus 30, we'll send nukes to sanitize that site. So be out of there before we hit.

  Johnny Rico : Don't wait for me. If I'm not out in 30, nuke it.

• Johnny Rico : Troopers, our mission is to storm the wreck of the John A. Warden, rescue our surviving men, and kill every last son-of-a-bitch bug we see. Do you understand?

  Troopers : Yes, sir!

  Johnny Rico : We've got 25 minutes before they level that site, so move fast. And remember, we're fighting for some rock across the galaxy. We're fighting for our home. Commence the attack!

• Dr. Carl Jenkins : Johnny Rico.

  Johnny Rico : I should leave your ass here to get nuked.

  Dr. Carl Jenkins : What do you mean "nuked"?

  Johnny Rico : Let's go.

• Johnny Rico : Are you Varro?

  Hero : Yes, sir! Where's Jenkins?

  Johnny Rico : He's safe!

  Hero : Good! Make sure he keeps everybody else that way!

• Johnny Rico : Come on, you apes! You wanna live forever? Kill 'em all!
