And he's laying there, he's f***ing screaming. There's pieces of him all over me, just --"
• (Sylvester Stallone) "like this, and I'm tryin' to pull him off, you know, my friend that's all over me. I've got blood and everything and I'm tryin' to hold him together. I'm puttin' -- the guy's f***in' insides keep coming out. And nobody would help. Nobody would help. He's saying, sayin' "I wanna go home. I wanna go home." He keeps calling my name.
