Quotes 

  • Rex Hunt : Don, you've bagged my 12 bore.

    [Chuckles. Looks out the window to see the flag still flying] 

    Rex Hunt : How come it's still up there?

    Don Bonner : Well sir... I took a decision to leave it flying tonight, sir. And to shoot the first Argie bastard who tries to take it down. Did I do the wrong thing, sir?

    Rex Hunt : No! That's the spirit, Don.

  • Maj. Phil Summers : Rex, we've withdrawn to the drill hall and now there are lots of Argentineans outside.

    Rex Hunt : Well shoot them.

    Maj. Phil Summers : There are lots and lots of Argentineans outside.

    Rex Hunt : Shoot some of them then!

  • Rex Hunt : You will never persuade these people to live under you.

    Maj. Patricio Dowling : When you have someone by the balls, their hearts and minds soon follow.

  • Rex Hunt : Time to surrender, Jim.

    Jim Fairfield : Fuck off, sir!

  • Rex Hunt : If anyone lands from a sub, best I can do is invite them in for a short sharp lecture and a glass of sherry.

  • Rex Hunt : Pray for a gale to dash them on the rocks like the Armada.

  • Rex Hunt : Dick, I've got to draft a State of Emergency. Have you any idea how it's done?

    Dick Baker : No, I'm afraid not. I think we'll have to go back to 1939. Sounds absurd, I know. But there you are.

    Rex Hunt : "We shall fight on the beaches". If only we could.

  • Simon Winchester : I got wind of Tony's plans, to join the FIDF. It's just the one son, is it?

    Rex Hunt : And a daughter back home.

    Simon Winchester : Oh well, she's well out of it then.

    Rex Hunt : No, not really. She's engaged to a lieutenant in the Marines who served down here. He's bound to be on standby soon. If anyone bothers to get the place back for us, that us.

    Simon Winchester : They'll bother all right, if they're interested in staying in office.

  • Patrick Watts : Are you thinking of surrender, sir?

    Rex Hunt : I'm not surrendering to any bloody Argie.

  • Vice-Adm. Carlos Busser : [Hunt refuses to shake Busser's hand]  That is ungentlemanly of you, Governor Hunt.

    Rex Hunt : It was a most ungentlemanly act of you to invade our islands! This is British territory and I want you and your men off it at once!

  • Rex Hunt : You leave me no choice but to tell my men to surr... to lay down their arms.
