Following J Chaos and Will's (Mad Lemmey's) "Aliens" posts, it got me thinking we're all a bit obsessed right.....................................................right :) ;)

We're the guys who, not only can we quote from "Aliens", we can tell you how many lights were on the APC (5 it's 5!  Trust me).

So, post a quote form your favourite film, for others to guess.

Here are the rules:

1)  Just a "quote", no other information;
2)  It must be war, wargames, history related (or funny);
3)  Don't "reveal" your answer 'til 3 guesses, the correct answer or until FSN gets silly;
4)  DON'T GGOGLE QUOTES (you can subtly alter quotes to avoid "Google-Detection".

Here's my first:

Name the character and film:
"I really don't know what they will do to the enemy; but, by God, they frighten me."

Fenton

Wellington  in Waterloo
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

You've subtly altered "Down, down deeper and down!" to stop me googling it :)
