Barney Ross: [Bonaparte is flying a plane to the next recruit] Hey, did you turn off the auto-pilot?
Bonaparte: I didn't touch the auto-pilot.
Barney Ross: [sees Bonaparte drinking] Give me the booze. Are we off course?
Bonaparte: Where in the hell are we? Here, hang on a second.
Bonaparte: [looks outside] Is that... is that the big dipper? Yeah, we gotta turn around.
Barney Ross: [deadpan] Wow...
Stonebanks: [Holding the young Expendables hostage] Well, lookin' a little strung out there, kids! This is what you get for being pawns in Barney's moral chess game.
Stonebanks: [looks at Thorn] That one looks a little slack.
Stonebanks: [soldiers straighten Thorn out while Stonebanks turns to Luna] You know, I feel most bad for you.
Luna: I don't give a shit how you feel.
Stonebanks: I do, I have a daughter. I have feelings. Anyway, when the CIA, I presume that is who you're working for. The CIA, am I right? I bet you don't know who you're working for. What, for Barney? Do you know who he's working for? Does HE know who he's working...? It gets very confusing. Anyway when the
CIA wanted guys doing the dangerous work in the dangerous places, they called us, they didn't want to get their hands dirty. They called us. Yep, we cleared every hotspot they had, we bumped the bad guys so the good guys could roll in looking like heroes. We killed a lot. But we saved more lives than you could possibly imagine. Then, the boys on the Hill wanting no loose ends tried to bury me. I
was an American! Working for America! Was. They'd eat their own children. The lesson here is... Never do business with the government. I'm going to save you that heartache. He never will.
Stonebanks: [after shooting Barney] Come on, stand up. You'll feel better.
Barney Ross: [at a nightclub] Where is the candidate?
Bonaparte: [points at Luna] Right there in the red dress, about to chop those guys in half.
Barney Ross: [Luna approaches drunk patrons fighting] The hostess?
Bonaparte: Not the hostess, she's the bouncer.
Mars: [regarding the old Expendables] Bunch of has-beens still trying to be hard.
Lee Christmas: You're young and you're dumb!
