Michael Burnett
- Burnett: I was told it might be possible to rent your boat. We'd like to do that. Is that possible? We need to get upriver.
- John Rambo: Where are you going?
- Burnett: Into Burma.
- John Rambo: Burma's a warzone.
- Burnett: Well, that's what people call it, but it's more like genocide than war. Anyway, this will be my fifth trip in, so we're aware of the risks.
- John Rambo: I don't go that far north.
- Burnett: Let me explain our situation. Our church is part of a pan-Asian ministry, located in Colorado. We are all volunteers who, around this time of year, bring in medical supplies, medical attention, prayer books, and support to the Karen tribespeople. People say you know the river better than anyone.
- John Rambo: They ain't lying.
- Burnett: So what I'm asking is that we compensate you for a few hours of your time that will help change people's lives.
- John Rambo: Are you bringing any weapons?
- Burnett: Of course not.
- John Rambo: You're not changing anything.
- Burnett: Well, it's thinking like that that keeps the world the way it is.
- John Rambo: [walking away] Fuck the world.
- Burnett: What did you do? We came here to help stop the killing! Who are you to...
- John Rambo: [grabs Burnett by the throat, and slams him up against a support beam] WHO ARE YOU?
- Sarah: Let him go!
- John Rambo: They would've raped her fifty times... and cut your fucking heads off! Who are you? Who are any of you?
- Burnett: [to Rambo] I have to report this. I know you think what you did was right, but taking a life is never right.
- Burnett: We'll be taking the overland route on the way back so there's no need to wait around. I have to report this. I know you think what you did was right but taking a life is never right.
