Memorable quotes from First Blood
"Rambo: [in Teasle's cruiser] You got some place I can eat around here?"
"Teasle: There's a diner about thirty miles up the highway."
"Rambo: Is there any law against me getting something here?"
"Rambo: Why are you pushing me?"
"Teasle: What did you say?"
"Rambo: I said, why are you pushing me? I haven't done anything to you."
"Rambo: There's one man dead! It's not my fault! I don't want any more hurt!"
"Sheriff Teasle: Freeze, stand right where you are, give yourself up!"
