• (Michael Sandor) "You want to take all suspicions away when you shoot someone, wait 'til he's standing next to the President."
• (Logan) "What was he going to say?"
• (Michael Sandor) "The truth. That nothing, no matter how horrible, ever really happens without the approval of the government. Over there, and here. The problem isn't the doing. It's the people in power having to admit that they knew. The prisoners are tortured at Abu Ghraib, and only the underlings go to jail. Their bosses knew. We know their bosses knew. But you don't say it."
• (Logan) "What exactly happened in Africa?"
• (Michael Sandor) "Somehow the villagers didn't think that an oil pipeline was a good enough reason to move their village to a place where the spirit gods didn't exist."
• (Logan) "They asked them all nicely to move, and they didn't, so they just killed them all?"
• (Michael Sandor) "No, they didn't ask. They just killed them. All. So the next village won't need to be asked, they'll just go."

• (Logan) "Where are we meeting?"
• (Danny Glover) "Somewhere where I can see you coming from a god damned long way off."

It's gonna be some hard, hairy work, Pork. There's gonna be more shootin' and more people are going to die. Now, I didn't start it, but be sure as hell I mean to see it through.

• (Logan) "You know what it takes to make a shot at that range? Everything comes into play that far, humidity, elevation, temperature, wind, spindrift. There's a 6 to 10-second flight time so you have to shoot at where the target's going to be. Even the Coriolis effect, the spin of the Earth, comes into play. President'll be wearing body armour, that means a headshot at over a mile. You believe there's a shooter involved capable of making this shot?"
• (Danny Glover) "Yes."
• (Logan) "Well, then you got a real problem. You need to find the shooter."

• (Logan) "Suppose I was looking for man who could make a 2200 yard cold bore shot, who's alive that could do that?"
• (Levon Helm) "Seems I heard about a shot like that being made not too long ago, said the guy's name was Bob Lee Swagger. Never met the man, so I wouldn't know."

• (Logan) "I don't really like the President much. Didn't like the one before that, much, either."

• (Logan) "Sure, some years we do."

• (Logan) "I'm just a peckerwood who lives in the hills with too many guns"

Ned Beatty as Senator Charles F. Meachum

• (Michael Peña) "Yeah."

• (Michael Peña) "Bono? You want them to get Bono?"

Tate Donovan as Russ Turner

• (Howard Purnell) "Well that's -- that's gotta be wrong."
• (Tate Donovan) "Now, the only reasonable question to ask after that is: what the f*** is going on?"

Elias Koteas as Jack Payne

• (Michael Sandor) "Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger, USMC, Retired. He is the best there is."
• (Louis Dobbler) "His last assignment went wrong. Put in unfriendly territory on a loan-out and left as expendable. Opposing force sent an attack helicopter and a hundred-man company. His best friend and spotter was killed. No official report."
• (Elias Koteas) "Ghost report says he inflicted 70 percent casualties; the rest fled."

But the joy of checks and balances in our government is that I can, and am, indeed, required by law, to tell them to f*** off."
