• Stew Sallaway : Look, look, recon's a glamor outfit. Arnie and I are going to get along just fine.

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Arnie?

  Stew Sallaway : Yeah, Arnie - Major Garvey. Now look, I can make out just great there. It's right down my alley. Besides, it's got a lot of flash, you know. They like guys who can think on their feet. You know, I'm a pretty good Marine, Bill.

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : You're a pretty bad Marine, Stu.

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : All right, Private Sallaway, fall out!

  Stew Sallaway : Look, Bill...

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Outside, Private!

  Stew Sallaway : I tried to explain to you, Bill...

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : You'll get your transfer eventually, but for every formation you miss, I'll delay it for a week.

  Stew Sallaway : Now look...

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : And every time you're late for duty, I'll delay it for another week. And every time you get out of line with a superior, still another week. Oh, and Private - stand up straight when I'm talkin' to you! I forgot to mention it... it just so happens that Arnie is an old friend of mine and I never send an old friend half-finished merchandise.

  Sergeant Clintock : Sallaway, report!
