The Hurt Locker (2008)

 James comes around.
                     JAMES
          Hello, Sir.
                    COLONEL REED
              (to James, pointing)
          You the guy in the flaming car?
          Sergeant James?
                    JAMES
           Yes, sir.
                   COLONEL REED
           Well, that’s just hot shit. You’re
            a wild man, you know that?
 The Colonel spins his head around to an aside.
                   COLONEL REED
             He’s a wild man, you know that?
                 (back to James)
             Let me shake your hand.
                    JAMES
             Thank you, sir.
                    COLONEL REED
              How many bombs have you disarmed,
              Sergeant?
                    JAMES
               I’m not quite sure.
                   COLONEL REED
              Sergeant, I asked you a question.
                    JAMES
               Eight hundred and seventy three.
               Counting today, sir.
                    COLONEL REED
               Eight hundred and seventy three? That
               must be a record. So tell me,
               what’s the best way to go about
               disarming one of these things?
                     JAMES
                The way you don’t die, sir.
                     COLONEL REED
                 Good one. Spoken like a wild man.
                 That's good.

That’s good.
