Quotes 

  • Sgt. Baker : Sir, is the smoking lamp lit?

    Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Yes...

    Captain Thomson : Lieutenant, I also suggest that you have your men kick the smoking habit for the next five days. Guerillas that are good at their jobs can smell cigarette smoke further than you can smell wood smoke; guerillas who are not good at their jobs don't live long enough to matter.

  • Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Captain, that's the second time you've chewed me out in front of my men. Now, I understand you're trying to teach me something and I appreciate it, but I'll be leading this platoon long after this exercise is over, sir, and I can't lead them if you undermine...

    Captain Thomson : Objection noted, Lieutenant.

  • [last lines] 

    Lt. Col. Hiland : And now, gentleman, our next toast. Mr. Vice-President - to the United States Marine Corps.

    Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Gentlemen, the United States Marine Corps!

  • Jean : What kept you - or shouldn't we ask?

    Sally : He fell asleep - blink, like that! Just in the 30 seconds it took me to get my coat.

    Lt. Harris : Wait, just wait. You, too, will run into Captain Thomson.

    Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Thomson... that's counter-insurgency, right?

    Lt. Harris : That's right - he's the grrr in guerilla tactics.
