So Proudly We Hail! (1943)

Ted Hecht: Dr. Jose Bardia

Quotes 

• Dr. Jose Bardia : I wonder how scientific those still heaps out there on the battlefield feel. Guns, machines, men, so much rubbish. What was it in my student days? Chemically, a man is worth 97 cents. Probably $1.05. What, with the shortage of parts and monopoly now, the dead have risen in value. Two for $1.98 on Dollar Day.

• Dr. Jose Bardia : This little fellow we're about to introduce to the world tonight. What for him? I don't know. They forgot to teach me about spirit somewhere. Ninety-seven cents worth of body, but a priceless spirit. May he be born to live in freedom.
