Cruz Manuelos Quotes
Cruz: I already reported it, I just didn’t tell them. She, uh, she invited me up here, you know? I’m trying to make friends. I’m trying to start a new life. I’m trying – I am really, really trying. Please don’t tell, please.
Doctor: It’s not my place to tell your friends, but I need to be assured that the authorities are aware.
Cruz: They arrested him last night, in North Carolina. That’s - that’s why I’m here, getting away from it. Or at least I’m trying to.
Joe: Undecided.
Cruz: That’s interesting.
Joe: It’s boring as fuck, that’s the point. Don’t let her friends dig into you. You answer their questions with questions. Your life is boring, their life is fascinating, ask them questions about their lives – it’s all they want to talk about anyway.

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.
