Which character in "Platoon" said...

So you think you are a fan of "Platoon." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. What's the matter boy? He ain't gonna bite you. That's a good gook, good and dead.

  2. Well, here I am, anonymous all right. With guys nobody really cares about. They come from the end of the line, most of 'em. Small towns you never heard of: Pulaski, Tennessee; Brandon, Mississippi; Pork Van, Utah; Wampum, Pennsylvania. Two years' high school's about it, maybe if they're lucky a job waiting for them back at a factory, but most of 'em got nothing. They're poor, they're the unwanted, yet they're fighting for our society and our freedom. It's weird, isn't it? They're the bottom of the barrel and they know it. Maybe that's why they call themselves grunts, cause a grunt can take it, can take anything. They're the best I've ever seen, Grandma. The heart & soul.

  3. [after Taylor stops him from raping a Vietnamese girl] You lame fuckin' fuck!

  4. Guy's in three years and thinks he's Jesus Fucking Christ or something.

  5. You talking about killing? Hmm? Y'all experts? Y'all know about killing? I'd like to hear about it, potheads. [takes pipe and sniffs] Are you smoking this shit so's to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be, and there's the way it is. Elias was full of shit. Elias was a crusader. Now, I got no fight... with any man who does what he's told. But when he don't, the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down, we break down. And I ain't gonna allow that... in any of you. Not one. [hands pipe back and spits] Y'all love Elias. Oh, you wanna kick ass. Yeah. Well, here I am, all by my lonesome. And there ain't nobody gonna know. Six of you boys against me. Kill me. Huh. I shit on all of you.

  6. She's a fucking human being, man. Fuck you!

  7. Somebody once wrote: 'Hell is the impossibility of reason.' That's what this place feels like. Hell.

  8. Then the worm has definitely turned for you, man.

  9. [Drunk] Lieutenant, some Kentucky Windage?

  10. [after the platoon discovers a horribly murdered colleague] Those motherfuckers.

  11. Excuses are like assholes, Taylor. Everybody's got one!

  12. Day by day I struggle to maintain not only my strength but also my sanity. It's all a blur. I have no energy to write. I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. The morale of the men is low, a civil war in the platoon. Half the men with Elias, half with Barnes. There's a lot of suspicion and hate. I can't believe we're fighting each other, when we should be fighting them.
