Rob got the last one correct.
Here are the quotes again along with the correct answers.
1. "Sir, this is Private Elliot at Opana Point. There's a large formation of planes coming in from the north - 140 miles, 3 degrees east."
"Yeah? Well... Don't worry about it."
TORA! TORA! TORA! (1970)
2. "Colonel Dax, you're a disappointment to me. You've spoiled the keenness of your mind by wallowing in sentimentality. You really did want to save those men, and you were not angling for Mireau's command. You are an idealist -- and I pity you as I would the village idiot. We're fighting a war, Dax, a war that we've got to win. Those men didn't fight, so they were shot. You bring charges against General Mireau, so I insist that he answer them. Wherein have I done wrong?"
Adolph Menjou to Kirk Douglas in PATHS OF GLORY (1957)
3. "Sir, we've stopped the fires forward and patched the hole in the side. Commander Eddington says to tell the Old Man; I'm sorry, sir, to tell the Captain that this old tub will float but you might think about arranging a tow back to Pearl. Also, sir, the men would like you to know that we think Commander Eddington is hell on wheels."
IN HARM'S WAY (1965)
4. "This is a different kind of army. If you look at history you'll see men fight for pay, or women, or some other kind of loot. They fight for land, or because a king makes them, or just because they like killing. But we're here for something new. This hasn't happened much in the history of the world. We are an army out to set other men free. America should be free ground, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow, no man born to royalty. Here we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here you can be something. Here you can build a home. But it's not the land. There's always more land. It's the idea that we all have value, you and me. What we're fighting for, in the end, is each other. Sorry. Didn't mean to preach."
Jeff Daniels (as Col. Joshua Chamberlain) in GETTYSBURG (1993)
5. "Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin' palm tree overboard! Now what's all this crud about no movie tonight?"
Jack Lemmon to James Cagney in MISTER ROBERTS (1955)
6. "A rifle is only a tool. It's a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead Marines. And then you will be in a world of s__t. Because Marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?"
R.Lee Ermy (as Gunnery Sgt Hartman) in FULL METAL JACKET
7. "The thing that's always worried me about being one of the few is the way we keep on getting... fewer."
Richard Burton (as Flying Officer Campbell) in THE LONGEST DAY (1962)
8. "Hancock, I've got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. My original plan has been scuppered now that the jeeps haven't arrived. My communications are completely broken down. Do you really believe any of that can be helped by a cup of tea?"
Sean Connery (as General Urquhart) in A BRIDGE TOO FAR (1977)
9. "Wait a minute! You aren't seriously suggesting that if I get through the wire... and case everything out there... and don't get picked up... to turn myself in and get thrown back in the cooler for a couple of months so you can get the information you need?"
Steve McQueen (as Captain Hilts) in THE GREAT ESCAPE (1963)
10 "I know you will do what the British major wants. I would do it in your place."
Raffaella Carrą (as Gabriella) to Frank Sinatra (as Col. Ryan) in VON RYAN'S EXPRESS (1967)
