Wasn't that from Gladiator?

Sorry for the delay,MotN; yes, it's the pep talk before they go into the ring for the 1st time.

".............you may be calling the shots now, but remember Sir, when you're loading the shells, to put 'em in pointed end FIRST"

'Rory? Yeah I know Rory. He's not to be underestimated, you've got to look past the hair and the cute, cuddly thing - it's all a deceptive facade. A few nights ago Rory's Roger iron's rusted, so he's gone to the local battle-cruiser to catch the end of his footer. Nobody is watching the custard so he turns the channel over. A fat man's north opens and he wanders over and turns the Liza over. 'Now f*ck off and watch it somewhere else.' Rory knows claret is imminent, but he doesn't want to miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls who are ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance. He then orders an Aristotle of the most ping pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and switches back to his footer. 'That's f*cking it,' says the guy. 'That's f*cking what' says Rory. Rory gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he then flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the man's lit up like a leaky gas pipe. Rory, unfazed, turned back to his game. His team's won too. Four-nil'

NutherA2

You seem to have got the team beat, how about a clue?


A bit late checking, sorry. Spoken by Shirley Ann Field (as always in deadpan monotone) to Steve McQueen in between his B17 heroics.

Diatryma - 'Heartbreak Ridge'.

OK - try:

"Just rinse it round and spit it out. Don't swallow it....."

(Clue - from a war film made in B&W)

My go then:

'How many men had I already killed? There were 3 that I knew about; close enough to feel their last breath in my face'

"A successful operation"
