Line 60:
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Hummel didn't realize that Frye and Darrow were amoral mercenaries until it was too late.

* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Darrow who falls on a sharp fence post after he has been
* [[Ironic Echo]]: "Welcome to the Rock."

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: Random marine: ''"I said shut the fu--''" (Mason snaps his neck).
