Rambo returns to the jungles of Vietnam on a mission to infiltrate an enemy base-camp and rescue the American POWs still held captive there.

To survive a war, you gotta become war.
– Rambo

I’m sorry they sent you to such a hellhole.
– Trautman
I’ve seen worse.
– Rambo

Why did they pick you? Because you like to fight?
– Co
I’m expendable.
– Rambo
What mean expendable?
– Co
It’s like someone invites you to a party and you don’t show up. It doesn’t really matter.
– Rambo

Like you said, Colonel, he went home.
– Murdock

It wasn’t my war, Colonel. I’m here to clean up the mess.
– Murdock

You’re not expendable.
– Co

Sir, do we get to win this time?
– Rambo

Murdock…
– Rambo
He’s here.
– Trautman
Rambo, this is Murdock, we’re glad you’re alive. Where the hell are you? Give us your position and we’ll come to pick you up!
– Murdock
Murdock… I’m coming to get you!
– Rambo

Colonel, are you sure Rambo’s still in balance with the war? We can’t afford having him involved in this mission and then crack in the pressure of that hell.
– Murdock
Pressure? Let me just say that Rambo is the best combat vet I’ve ever seen. A pure fighting machine with only a desire to win a war that someone else lost. And if winning means he has to die, he’ll die. No fear, no regrets. And one more thing: what you choose to call hell, he calls home.
– Trautman

Wolf Den, this is Lone Wolf. Do you read? Prepare for emergency landing. Arriving with American POWs.
– Rambo

Good luck, son.
– Trautman
Murdock said he was with 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines at Kon Tum in ’66.
– Rambo
Yeah.
– Trautman
The 2nd Battalion was at Kud Sank. You’re the only one I trust.
– Rambo

Rambo, I swear to God, I didn’t know it was supposed to happen like this. It was just supposed to be another assignment!
– Murdock
Mission… accomplished.
– Rambo
[thrusts knife into table]
You know there’s more men out there and you know where they are. Find ’em. Or I’ll find you.
– Rambo

[while torturing Rambo] You may scream. There is no shame.
– Podovsky

John, I want you to try and forget the war. Remember the mission. The old Vietnam’s dead.
– Trautman
Sir, I’m alive. It’s still alive, ain’t it?
– Rambo
