KELLY'S HEROES
FAVORITE EASTWOOD QUOTES FROM
KELLY'S HEROES
KELLY: I'm going after that gold, Joe.
BIG JOE: That's what I thought.
KELLY: You want in?
BIG JOE: Do I want in? Now you let me tell you something, soldier, and let me make it nice and clear for you. I got a job to do and that's to get you guys to Berlin without gettin' killed. We've been at the front end of this war all the way. If you whisper one word about the gold to these guys, I'm gonna
have you bounced from this outfit so fast your feet won't even touch the
ground. Now do you understand that, Kelly?
KELLY: Yeah, I understand. You better fix up some transfer papers for me, 'cause I'm goin' . . . with you or without you.
KELLY: Well, I want 15 Thompsons, two .30 caliber machine guns, two bazookas, two field radios and enough supplies and ammunition to last a platoon of men in the field for three days.
CRAPGAME: (Holding a gold bar given to him by Kelly) How much more where this came from?
KELLY: Fourteen thousand bars.
CRAPGAME: Fourteen thousand bars? (Laughs) Fourteen thousand? Hey, sweetheart, have yourself a bottle of booze, you're beautiful! Fourteen
thousand bars! Za-da-ba-pa! That's beautiful! Where is it?
KELLY: In a bank.
CRAPGAME: In a bank? You're getting pretty ambitious, aren't you? I mean, to think you can blow a bank and get away with it?
KELLY: It's behind enemy lines.
CRAPGAME: Behind enemy lines. (Contemplates) Yeah, that could be the perfect crime.
KELLY: Now look, I don't want half the army in on this. I don't want any
friends, or any friends of friends. I wanna keep it a tight little unit.
KELLY: Talkin's not gonna do any good, Joe. These men are all going.
BIG JOE: And who's gonna lead 'em?
KELLY: If you don't, I will.
CRAPGAME: You sure you got the time straight with Mulligan?
KELLY: Yeah, I got the time straight with Mulligan, but whether Mulligan can tell time or not's another question.
BIG JOE: You know, with these Tigers, this operation goes above and beyond the call of duty.
KELLY: That's right, Joe, $16 million above and beyond.
CRAPGAME: Hey, hey, Kelly. How did we get talked into this mess?
KELLY: It took about ten seconds to talk you into this.
CRAPGAME: Yeah, sure, but we were supposed to ride, not walk. And nobody
said anything about mines or schlepping this .30 caliber machine gun all
over the country!
KELLY: Why don't you quit your bitching and just remember what's at the end of the line?
CRAPGAME: Kelly, we're not gonna go with those cowboys, are we?
KELLY: Look, we've got $16 million dollars up for grabs and we're not gonna let those clods beat us to it. Now let's get moving.
KELLY: All right, so it's a beautiful day. Now let's get down to cases.
KELLY: Nobody's asking you to be a hero.
ODDBALL: No? Then you sit up in that turret, baby.
KELLY: No, 'cause you're gonna be up there, baby. And I'll be right outside showing you which way to go.
ODDBALL: There's $16 million dollars worth of gold in that bank, sweetheart.
BIG JOE: That's about 65 million marks.
KELLY: And Sergeant, all you have to do to have an equal share of this money is crank this turret around and blow a hole in that door.
GERMAN SOLDIER: We have my car full. We go now.
KELLY: Yeah, well, you take care of yourself now, huh?
GERMAN SOLDIER: Thank you. (Gives the "Heil Hitler" salute, Kelly just
glares at him, then switches to military salute.)
KELLY: (Returning salute) Auf Wiedersehen.
(This site is for the best Eastwood quotes, but these Donald Sutherland quotes are too good to pass up.)
ODDBALL: Don't hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning.
ODDBALL: Why don't you knock it off with the negative waves Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here. Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
ODDBALL: Always with the negative waves, Moriarty. Always with the negative waves.
