Quote: Jack Valentine: Do you know why I do what I do? I mean, there are
more prestigeous assignments. Keeping track of nuclear arsenels -
youd think that be more critical to world security. But its not.
No, nine out of ten war victims today are killed with assault
rifles and small arms - like yours. Those nuclear weapons sit in
their silos. Your AK-47, thats the real weapon of mass
destruction.
Yuri Orlov: I dont want people dead, Agent Valentine. I dont put a
gun to anybodys head and make them shoot. But shooting is better
for business. But, I prefer people to fire my guns and miss. Just
as long as they are firing. Can I go now?

Quote: Jack Valentine: Since your so concern with the law, you must know
that I am legally permitted to hold for 24 hours without charging
you. You might ask why I would do that, and I can assure you its
not because I enjoy you company because I dont. *No*. The *Reason*
why I will delay you for *every sec* of the permissible 24 hours is
Im delaying your deadly trade and the deaths of *your* victims. I
dont think of it as taking a day away from you but giving a day to
them. Some innocent man, woman or child is going to have an extra
day on this Earth because youre not *free*. So I will see you in
23 hours and 55 mins.

Movie Name: Lord of War (2005)
Quote: Yuri Orlov: Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing
was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More
commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. Its the worlds most
popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly
simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesnt
break, jam, or overheat. Itll shoot whether its covered in mud or
filled with sand. Its so easy, even a child can use it; and they
do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their
flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the
Russian peoples greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar,
and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up
to buy their cars.

Quote: Yuri Orlov: Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble
names - Liberation this, Patriotic that, Democratic Republic of
something-or-other... I guess they cant own up to what they
usually are: a federation of worse oppressors than the last bunch
of oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both
combatants proclaim themselves freedom-fighters.

Quote: Yuri Orlov: After the Cold War, the AK-47 became Russias biggest

Quote: Andre Baptiste Sr.: Welcome to Democracy!
Yuri Orlov: Democracy? What have you been drinking Andy?
Andre Baptiste Sr.: Heh, you have not seen the news. You know, they
accuse me of rigging elections. But after this - [holds up a
newspaper with the headline "U.S. Supreme Court Reverses Recount
Ruling"] - with your Florida and your Supreme Court of Kangaroos,
now, the U.S. will shut up forever! [laughs]
Movie Name: Lord of War (2005)
Quote: Yuri Orlov: The reason Ill be released is the same reason you think
Ill be convicted. I *do* rub shoulders with some of the most vile,
sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these
men are the enemies of *your* enemies. And while the biggest arms
dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United
States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year -
sometimes its embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns.
Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he cant
be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you,
Im a necessary evil.
