“This is what I call the speech, kid. It’s the only one I’ve got, I only give it once, so pay attention. Until now, it’s all been fun and games, cops and robbers, Dunkin’ Donuts, but you’re in the shit now. Metro Command is a war zone… They say you’re good at what you do, but the team comes first. You live by that, and you’ll be okay, and we’ll all be there for you. Remember, the door swings both ways. That’s it. Hey kid, welcome to the war.”
Danny Glover as Lt. Mike Harrigan – Predator 2 (1990)
