[first lines]
Sallaway Sr. : Bill!
Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Mr. Sallaway.
Sallaway Sr. : Bill, you look marvelous.
Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : I must have been daydreaming. At first I didn't even recognize you.
Sallaway Sr. : Well, I hardly recognize myself these days what with this.
[Mr. Sellaway hold up a cane]
Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Dad wrote and said you weren't feeling well. I told him you were probably faking.
Sallaway Sr. : You're right. I'm fine, Bill. Sort of a little half-speed, but I'm fine.

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!
