Funny / Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles

• In "Plasma Bugs of Navarone", discussing Dizzy's borderline Blood Knight tendencies.

  Gossard: "So what do you do to relax, Flores? Bungie jump without the cord?"

  Dizzy: "Hey, no guts, no glory."

  Rico: "No brains."

  Carl: "No kidding."

  • Later in the episode, while ascending a cliff, Rico and Carl are hauling up a Marauder, and it keeps banging against the side of the cliff.
    Brutto: "Rico! That suit is worth more than you and your freaky pal put together; get focused or the damage is coming outta your pay."
    Rico: *to Carl* "Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'."
    Brutto: "What was that?"
    Rico: *casually* "Nothin'!"
    • When Rico is forced to destroy the Marauder to save Carl:
    Rico: "Guess I'm not getting paid 'til I'm eighty."
  • After Gossard is attacked by a cliff mite:
    Doc: "Radical reconstructive surgery is the only option."
    Gossard: "Leg's that bad?"
    Doc: "Leg's fine; I was talkin' about your face."
• After Brutto is (the last one) freed from his cocoon prison in "And Then There Were Two".
  Brutto: (looks around and notices that he was the last one freed) Saved the best for last huh?
• In "Missing in Action", Rico and Dizzy start arguing during a briefing.

  Dizzy: "You accuse me of taking risks? That's a laugh."

  Rico: "What are you talking about?"

  Dizzy: "That time in the cave when you were trying to impress Carmen?"

  Rico: "Get serious, I was doing my job!"

  Dizzy: "Oh, please, do I look like an idiot!?"

  Rico: "You said it, not me."

  Lieutenant Razak: "Am I interrupting you two?"

  Dizzy and Rico: "YES!" *look up and realize who's talking* "No! No, Sir; sorry, Sir."

• Brutto giving Rico a compliment after he pulled off a daring attack.
  Brutto: "You're turning into my kind of Trooper Rico, short on brains, long on guts."
  Rico: " Thanks Sarge...I think?"
• After Rico takes out a bunch of control bugs that came up in the infirmary he was healing in, Carmen starts to make out with him, at that moment Brutto, Gossard and Doc all walk in rifles at the ready, only to see the two lovebirds
  Brutto: "Uniform not regulation"
  Gossard: "Guess he's on the mend."
  Doc: "Who prescribed her?"
• The C.H.A.S bots when we see things from their perspective as they scan various troopers, we get some humor as a Freeze-Frame Bonus. In the Tophet campaign when the first C.H.A.S scans the Roughnecks the info lists among other information which members are organ donors, turns out for his rough edges Brutto is, while the teams medic "Doc" isn't.
  • And during the Klendathu campaign Higgins gets scanned while being chased by a bug "Threat Assessment: Mostly Harmless"
• Sergeant Zim has joined the Roughnecks, and is helping Rico lead the squad:
  Rico: Let's take it back!
  Zimm: You heard the man! Door's around front. Flores, T-Phai, Brutto, to the left with me! *Beat* Rest of you, follow the leader to the right! (talking to himself) Gotta learn the rest of their names.
• In the series finale, the squad takes cover in the basement after Gossard rigs a nuke per Rico's plan to destroy the base and the bugs overrunning it.
  Rico: This shelter will withstand the blast, right?
  Gossard: You're asking me now?
