"How come we gotta guard these pipeline dudes, man?" "Guarding these dudes is like guarding a goddamn Suge Knight." "It's like painting a goddamn bull's-eye on your ass." "These dudes get blown up all the time." "That's why we have to guard them." "Don't they have their own security forces?" " Yeah, they're making 30 grand a month." " They're making what?" "Thirty grand a month." " Where'd you hear that?" " From my friend who was a ranger in Desert Storm- got offered to come back here as a member of a private security force." " Are you serious?" " Yeah, and not only that... but they offered him one month off every two months." " Jesus." " That's like 20 times what we make for doing the same thing." "Only with adequately armored trucks instead of these... pieces of shit." " Did he take the job?" " No." " Why not?" "He rich?" " No, he's just" "He's sane, man." "[Laughing]" "[Laughing Continues]" "Hey, here you go." "Hey, cool it, Dim." "All right." "Let's get on with the introductions." "Tell him we're here to protect them while the pipeline's being constructed." "[Translating In Arabic]" "Tell them their valley may be the target of insurgent activity... because of the presence of the American workers." "[Translating]" "Tell 'em we'll be digging in right over there." "Tell 'em we'll do everything we can to stay out of their way." "[Translating]" "Tell 'em we're earthlings." "Tell 'em we come to their planet in peace." " You in charge?" " [Translating] - [Speaking In Arabic]" " He's the imam." " The what?" " The spiritual leader of the community." " Priest?" " Yeah, sort of." " Well, I need the mayor." " He's sort of the mayor too." " Is he the mayor, or is he not the mayor?" "Sergeant, can I just tell this guy to stick it up his ass?" "Or do I have to explain the idea of cultural differences to him?" "You have to translate." "That's all." "Sergeant, I can report your men for insubordination." "Well, there's Captain Baron." "He's in charge of flogging." " Am I talking to the right guy?" "That's all I need to know." " Yeah." "We're putting our oil pipeline through your little valley here." "We want you to know that if you have any security concerns... the soldiers here will protect you." "But we'll only be here as long as the workmen are here." "Understand?" "[Translating]" " When they move on, we move on." " Captain, you're not helping." "Sorry." "Just trying to be honest." "Is that a problem?" " I'm just trying to do my job, Captain." " So am I, Mr. Parker." "I can have transcripts of these conversations... sent via satellite to our company's headquarters in Dubai." "I love Dubai." "If you don't want the pipeline run through your valley, sir... now is the time to register your objection." "[Translating]" "They don't want the pipeline run through their valley, sir." "They've been safe so far in spite of the war." "And they feel that if the pipeline comes, that's gonna change." "Wherever the pipeline goes, someone blows someone up." "It looks like you have a P.R. Problem on your hands, doesn't it?" "[Mutters]" "Well, I'm an engineer, not a P.R. Guy." "The P.R. Guy quit." "Good luck." "You tell him we're putting the oil pipeline here in this valley... no matter what he says." "You tell him we'll build his village one building." "One building." "Tell him to think about what kind of building he wants." "A medical center, a school, whatever he wants." " But one building." " [Translating]" "L-I need to know what it's gonna be by tomorrow morning." "[Translating]" "That imam's a mean old bird, huh?" "Yeah." "What do you think he's gonna ask for?" " You mean what kind of building?" " Yeah." "Well, he's a very traditional guy." " He's very religious." " He gonna want a church?"

" How far is Sea World anyways?" " That's San Diego." " That's a ways." " What do you recommend I do around here?" " Are you, um-Are you on a budget?" " Oh, yeah." "Then I recommend this map of the stars' homes." "It's only three bucks, and some of these homes are just a short walk from here." " Will you be, uh, paying with a credit card?" " No." "I hope you have a picture I.D. The cops don't like it... if I check people in without a picture I.D." " I have picture I.D." " Good." ""Norma Jean Baker." You're kiddin', right?"

" Each one of them are under the same kinds of pressure." "How could you possibly know that?" "And yet Eddy is the one who's constantly getting into fights." " Constantly?" " This is the third time we've met, Mrs. Dumphy." "And this time he hurt somebody." "I understood that the other kid ran into a pole." " He was pushed into the pole." " Eddy may have pushed him, but he didn't put the pole there." " The boy went to the hospital." " He was a bully and a prick." "I'm suspending Eddy for five days... pending an inquiry by the board, at which time he may be expelled." "This is a very serious matter, Mrs. Dumphy." "The only reason the other boy's mother isn't pressing charges is because of your situation." "My situation?" "I took the liberty of explaining to her that you lost a baby." " And" " And what?" "You have to think about where else you can place Eddy." "Place him?" "He is not a job applicant." "He is my son!" "Where else you can send him to school." "This is his school!" " You're shouting, Mrs. Dumphy." " You're an asshole, Mr. Howard." "In five minutes, I won't be shouting, but you'll still be an asshole." "[Bell Ringing]" " Hey." " Hi." "You going out?" "Yeah."

"We have the town meeting." "The town decides what kind of building it wants, we build it, we get back to civilization." "The sooner we're done, the sooner yourjob's done." "Do you mean to use the word "protocol" the way they use it in medicine, Mr. Parker?" " When they treat disease?" " That's right, Captain." "That's exactly the way I meant to use it." "The thing is, I don't think these people think they're sick." "[Imam Speaking In Arabic]" "[Tariq] He says this meeting is a waste of the villagers'time."

" I'm supposed to have a company translator... but like a fool, he went and got himself killed." " [Scoffs] You want me to translate that?" " No." "Just tell him with all due respect..." " we're here and we're going on with the meeting." " [Translating]" " We want a mosque." " What a surprise." "[Translating]" "Are there any other suggestions?" "Nobody's got any other ideas at all, huh?" "Like maybe a larger barn or a health center?" "God forbid, a school?" "What's the problem now, Private?" "If I say "God forbid," we might have problems getting through the rest of this meeting." "Leave it out." "[Soft Chattering]" "[Tariq Continues In Arabic]" " You want a school?"

"Whenever people talk about whether or not to help in these kinds of situations... that movie comes up." " Well, you ever seen Chinatown?" " Of course." "Well, in Chinatown, Jack knows you don't know what's going on." "I mean, you think you do, but you don't." " So?" " So then he forgets... and he tries to fix everything, and instead, he screws everything up." "Now, that's famous." "Thank you, Angel." "Thank you, Angel."
