Paul Harvey: Gen. Biddle

Quotes 

  • Gen. Biddle : Uh, your name, sergeant?

    Mary McKinley : John Lawrence.

    Gen. Biddle : Serial number?

    John Lawrence : 3-9-...

    Mary McKinley : [Jumps in]  3-9-1-5-0-7-8-2.

  • Mary McKinley : I like generals.

    Gen. Biddle : Thank you.

    Mary McKinley : Next to sergeants.

    Gen. Biddle : I wish I was a sergeant.

    Mary McKinley : Why, general!

  • Sen. James McKinley : Now, look here, general, I don't want anything done that smacks of favoritism.

    Gen. Biddle : Why, senator, I wouldn't show this any more favoritism than I would expect you to show me.

  • Gen. Biddle : [On the telephone with the War Office]  Col. McGaw, I'm calling you from Sen. McKinley's apartment - Senator McKinley. It seems the senator's prospective son-in-law has just returned from overseas - eligible for discharge, in fact, on terminal leave. Yet he has just been ordered to duty for another 60 days. Now, I don't want any special consideration given him because of the senator - you understand that? However, it is quite probable that a mistake has been made and he is no longer on that roster. Now, I want you to check that roster very carefully.

  • Mary McKinley : I carried you 200 yards.

    Gen. Biddle : It wasn't 200 - it was nearer 75

    Mary McKinley : It was at least 200.

    Gen. Biddle : And carrying me behind the lines was a nice way to get out of the shooting - don't forget that.

    Mary McKinley : Oh, that's a fine thing to say, John.

  • Gen. Biddle : You saved my life. Now you've ruined it. We're even.

    Mary McKinley : Don't say that, John.

  • Mary McKinley : Remember everything we went through together? When you were wounded, I carried you in my arms like a baby. One of us was crying, and it wasn't you.

    Gen. Biddle : You should have let me stay there.

  • Gen. Biddle : I don't owe you a thing, not a thing.

    Mary McKinley : I'm naming my baby after you - gonna call him John Harold Taylor.

    Gen. Biddle : He hasn't got a chance.
