- I'm the gringo who always delivers.
- [recording his last confession on video tape before his assassination] You know I guess you could say I helped build an army, defend a country and create the biggest drug cartel this world has ever seen. DEA, CIA, White House. I mean, it's been a hell of an adventure. Yes sometimes a little more than I bargained for. But goddamn, you try telling me that this ain't the greatest country in the world?
Dialogue
[edit]- Jorge Ochoa: Come on up. [Barry heads upstairs and into Ochoa's office] Thank you for coming to see me.
- Barry Seal: Sir, I… I think there’s been some sort of mistake here, because I… These fellas just picked me up at the airport, and…
- Jorge Ochoa: No, no. No mistake. Just, please, have a seat. Coffee, Mr. Seal? [asks politely in Spanish]
- Barry Seal: You know my name?
- Jorge Ochoa: You’re the gringo who flies to Central America every week taking pictures very low with your fancy plane.
- Barry Seal: Did you all know that Caddies have more trunk space than any other car? I'll give each and every one of you a Caddy for your troubles, Because I'm going to walk out of here and there ain't a damn thing any one of you can do about it. [Dana Sibota walks in]
- Dana Sibota: He's free to go.
- DEA Agent Winter: Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. [the officers unlock the cuffs from Barry's wrists]
- Barry Seal: You boys should have taken the Caddies.
