• Lt. Fergie Howard : Beau'll join you as soon as he gets into his civvies.

  Lt. Beau Gilliam : My civvies?

  Lt. Fergie Howard : You brought 'em, didn't ya?

  Lt. Beau Gilliam : Yeah. But I won't wear 'em, Fergie.

  Lt. Fergie Howard : I beg your pardon?

  Lt. Beau Gilliam : Well you saw the duty board this morning. We were specifically ordered to wear whites. Any officer caught ashore in his civvies is gonna have his tail in a sling. And the order was signed by Admiral Fitch himself.

  Lt. Fergie Howard : Old Foghorn.

  Jason Eldridge : Fergie, we agreed not to break any regulations we didn't have to.

  Lt. Fergie Howard : Uh huh. But we have to. We can't get into the casino in Navy uniforms. It's off limits.

  Lt. Beau Gilliam : Off limits? And in civvies too? I'll be breaking two regulations at once!

  Lt. Fergie Howard : That's right, it's sort of a package deal. Now get in there and get out of that uniform and that's an order, Lieutenant *junior* grade Gilliam!

  Lt. Fergie Howard : What system do you use?

  Pam Dunstan : The capitalistic system.

• Julie Fitch : The truth of it is Mr Howard, and this may hurt - you are a nice fellow.

  Lt. Fergie Howard : I deny that.

• Lt. Fergie Howard : Any girl that would double-cross her own father, that's my kind of woman.

  Julie Fitch : How did you know that?

  Lt. Ferguson 'Fergie' Howard : You sure couldn't be his son.

• Lt. Fergie Howard : Sir, would you take the word of an officer and a gentleman?

  Admiral Fitch : Where is he?
