'''Matrix''': [[The Stoic|No]]. }}

Line 20:

** Bennett deserves mention too, for not only being the only person in the film to put up a decent fight against Matrix, but for getting him ''on the ropes'' in their final battle (though Matrix ''was'' wounded before that fight started).

* [[Badass Boast]]: From Cook to Matrix, answered with [[Narm]] and [[Lampshaded]] by Cindy:

{{quote|'''Cook''': This Green Beret's going to kick your big ass.

'''Matrix''': I eat Green Berets for breakfast! And right now I'm ''very'' hungry!~~ ~~

'''Matrix''': I eat Green Berets for breakfast! And right now I'm ''very'' hungry!

'''Cindy''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|I can't believe this macho bullshit!]] }}

** Also:

{{quote| '''Arius''': Mr. Bennett, my soldiers are patriots.~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Arius''': Mr. Bennett, my soldiers are patriots.

'''Bennett''': [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|Your soldiers are nothing]]. [[Badass|Matrix]] and I can [[One-Man Army|kill every single]] [[Mooks|one of them]] [[Hilarity Ensues|in the blink of an eye]]. [[Foreshadowing|Remember]] [[Lampshading|that]]. }}

* [[Banana Republic]]: Val Verde.

Line 54:

* [[Faking the Dead]]: Bennett is apparently blown up in his boat by Cooke in the pre-title sequence, but it's only to mislead Kirby.

* [[Follow That Car!]]:

{{quote| '''Matrix:''' Follow him.~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Matrix:''' Follow him.

'''Cindy:''' Oh, I ''knew'' you were going to say that... }}

* [[Groin Attack]]: A mook catches an axe between the legs in the toolshed scene.

Line 61:

** He kept his word too: There never was a sequel.

* [[High Altitude Interrogation]]: Matrix dangles Sully above a cliff to make him talk. And then...

{{quote| '''Matrix''': "Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Matrix''': "Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?

'''Sully''': "That's right Matrix! You did!"~~ ~~

'''Sully''': "That's right Matrix! You did!"

'''Matrix''': "[[I Lied]]." (Drops Sully) }}

** This one is actually a lot more cold-blooded. While Sully made it perfectly clear that he would be willing to talk, Matrix had already found the necessary [[Plot Coupon]] in his coat pocket before holding him over the cliff's edge. He just brought him there solely to [[Post Mortem One Liner|let him go]].
