Here's my pick from Quaritch: Your dead meat ticket will let the chaplain know if he should cite the Old or New Testament, the Quran, or emit God entirely from the few words he says of what's left of you should you fail to comply with Pandora rules.
What is your favourite quote from a RDA character? The good RDA characters are included so long as they are speaking in an RDA context. Deleted dialogue is included.
DiscussionYES!!
"You want something someone else has? Make him your enemy. That will justify you taking it." [Maybe the exact wording is different in the english version]
That’s beautiful!😂
Ok… Now I need you to explain yourself…
Like this quote is basically „how to justify a war against locals by saying you need the stuff they have“ - nothing beautiful about that IMO.
I like this quote because it’s so true.
I call things beautiful when I love them or make me laugh :)
I said it about this quote because it was really funny and smart. I don’t justify it and I hope you didn’t take that seriously lol
Nah. i didnt.
Poor choice of words tho XD
Makes sense in a fcked up way, thats why its brilliant in this case. ( brilliant dialogue and film making ) Yet its also pretty much cancel-culture in a nutshell. Which is less so brilliant 💀
That's my favorite too
"I'll be nice, once. Then I won't. :D"
not exactly a quote but i love it when Quaritch used the phrase “ticket punched” when talking about his death. never heard someone say that before and idk i just like it. hate human Quaritch so much but he ate that one lil thing
‘You’re not in Kansas anymore, you’re on Pandora…’
Iconic
Quaritch: "Remember kid, a marine can't be defeated, oh you can kill us, but we'll just regroup in hell. Semper Fi."
"Killing the indigenous looks bad, but there's one thing that stockholders hate more than bad press, and that's a bad quarterly report. I don't make the rules."
- Selfridge, on the banality of evil.
Capitalism … that’s humans for you GREED & yes we would exploit a beautiful planet like Pandora because we WANT it - even at the expense of another planet after fucking up our own ffs
“Why so Blue?”
"Nothings over while I'm still breathing. "
“I kinda hoped you’d say that.”
Hey Sully how does it feel to betray your own race?
« À l’extérieur de cette enceinte, toutes les créatures vivantes, qu’elles volent, rampent ou croupissent dans la boue voudront vous tuer et vous arracher les yeux pour les gober »
Quote from Quaritch when he is talking about rules to survive on Pandora at the beginning of Avatar (2009)
Yes I know it’s in French but in English if I say "jujubes" you will get it
Excellent French btw
Because I am 😅
"I owe you a death" goes hard
“Three tours of Nigeria, not a scratch. I come out here” (points to face) “day one. Think I felt like a shaved tail Louie?”
Lyle: I've seen a lot of guys leave in wheelchairs, but never seen one come in one.
Just about anything that Selfridge says, but especially, “what the hell have you people been smoking out there?” Giovanni Ribisi shines in the first movie. All of his parts are so well executed.
“Shut your pie hole… I could do that (when arguing with Grace),” “So since a deal can't be made, I guess things get real simple,” “Well well well, I’d say diplomacy has failed. Switch to incendiaries” - Col. Quaritch.
Nothings over while I'm breathing
i will say diplomacy has fail
“Shut your pie hole” “Or what ranger rick? You gonna shoot me?” … “I can do that.”
I just love the deliveries of these lines. Yes he’s awful, but my brothers and I quoted this for years😂
The irony of this too is that he ended up shooting her 😂
“ You think you’re one of them, time to wake up”.
This is a great one. Also calls to mind his ultra-calm you crossed the line PUNCH
lol yep
"Without that mask, you're unconscious in two minutes, dead in five. Let's nobody be dead today, looks very bad on my report!" ~RDA Shipmaster, during Jake's first landing on Pandora
I love his voice, it's so distinctive.
'Your a warrior target on me not the boy', challenging Neytiri on riverly duel for a3
And then I hope Neytiri says “you targeted my kids last time so consider us even”.
Can't beat the iconic Quaritch safety briefing.
"Out there beyond that fence, every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubes."
....
"...As head of security it's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed... not with all of you. If you wish to survive you need to cultivate a strong mental attitude. You got to obey the rules. Pandora rules."
"Nothing's over while I'm breathing!"
“How does it feel to betray your own race”
”Or what? Ranger Rick? You gonna shoot me?“ ”I can do that“
"YEAH BABY, GET SOME!!!!"
"Oorah"
Everytime I rewatch I gotta qoute Lyle's oorah. If I don't get it, I will replay the scene
"I will have you back here in two seconds and give you and old school ass whippin'" -Miles Quaritch
“Demon, I will kill you as many times as I have to” Or “a son for a son” Anything from Neytiri always gives me chills!
My personal favorite isn't even a cool saying or a speech, I just like the way it sounds in his voice. "Now, I know you're all asking yourselves the same question. Why so blue?" - recom Quaritch while giving the speech about finding Jake as they get ready to enter Pandora's atmosphere

This was not said by the RDA
Whoops that’s what I get for skimming the main post lol
“There’s no such thing as an ex-marine. You may be out, but you never lose the attitude.”
- Jake Sully
Also why am I starting to question if Jake even said that I'm losing my mind
IS JAKE EVEN CONSIDERED AN RDA CHARACTER?? 😭😭
I need help I'm overthinking my life choices but yeah that's my favorite quote its from the first Avatar movie
Edit: I feel like I might of messed up and that’s not actually what he said but I remember it as that so oh well someone correct me if I'm wrong
You're not the only one with a gun, b*tch - Trudy
The almost Wilhelm Scream Wainfleet makes as he's crushed by a Titanothere is my personal favorite RDA "quote".
