Special Ops: Lioness Quotes

Sergeant: So you do know what it means. We’re the strong – we protect the weak. We are merciless in that endeavor, is that an endeavor you wish to pursue?
Cruz: Yes, Sir.
Sergeant: There’s 1.4 million active-duty personnel in the armed forces. They all do their part, but there’s not 1000 among them that we can call on to make a difference. I think you could be one of those few, but it means walking away from the life that you’ve lived up to this point and never looking back. That life is over.
Cruz: I have no life, Sir.
Sergeant: You do now.

Marine Recruiter: You do that to his face?
Cruz: I cheated. I used a frying pan.
Marine Recruiter: In war, if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying.
Cruz: I’ve been at war my whole life, then.
Marine Recruiter: Well, you came to the right place.
