Lt. Col. Robert T. Frederick : [Private Ransom, after Majors Crown and Bricker told their contingents to do double time at the end of the great hike, suddenly takes off and bolts for the gate, to run a race with the first Canadian who wants to challenge him. Ransom stumbles and falls--but then Private Greco takes over and wins the race. All the other enlisted are hoisting Private Greco on their shoulders--but Ransom is still nursing his injuries] That was a stupid-ass thing to do!
Pvt. Theodore Ransom : [Gasping for breath] I was just--trying to--return the favor, sir!

Pvt. Theodore Ransom : When you want to beat somebody up, it's a pretty good way to play it safe--tie his hands behind his back.

Lt. Col. Robert T. Frederick : Get this man a uniform.
Major Cliff Bricker : You've GOT to be KIDDING!
Lt. Col. Robert T. Frederick : Excuse me?
