• Gribs : [the Jeep overheats]  Oh, this is great, just great! Here we are smack in the middle of Gerryland, and now you bums can't even keep your own Jeeps going!

  Pvt. Tully Pettigrew : I can fix his mouth a lot sooner than I can fix this Jeep.

• Sgt. Sam Troy : [Plotting the raid on the oasis]  Don't start your attack till I do.

  Gribs : Not me, Sarge. I'm valuable information. I'm gonna dig a nice hole for myself and get in it. You guys can play the hero.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : [Exasperated]  Sgt. Gribs, I'm giving you a direct order. You're coming with me. If you don't, I'm gonna shoot you.

• Sgt. Sam Troy : We're movin'.

  Gribs : Hold it! You ain't goin' no place without me. Those creeps you can leave behind, but me you gotta take back to headquarters. I'm important. I know things. Big things.

  Tex : The only thing he knows how to do is run. Run! And leave his men to get blasted!

  Sgt. Sam Troy : Well, personally, I'm not in the market for any private wars. Tell the Gerrys when they get here. Maybe they'll care.

• Sgt. Sam Troy : We take turns riding; otherwise she boils over in a minute. C'mon, Gribs, you and I walk first.

  Gribs : Not me, baby. Now look, I didn't sweat for them stripes to take turns with them monkeys. You let them walk! I'm ridin' all the way to back to headquarters.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : [Points his gun at Gribs]  Gribs, when I walk, you walk.

  Gribs : Okay, all you had to do was ask me pretty.

• Eddie : Hey, Sarge, he been telling you about all that big info he's supposed to know?

  Tex : The only thing he's got is a strong desire to put some distance bwtween him and us. But it doesn't matter, because sooner or later we're gonna get him.

  Eddie : You're right. And Sarge, don't worry about all that bull he's been feeding you. This guy's got more lies than a dog's got fleas.

  Gribs : Shut up, you monkeys!

• Gribs : [chuckling] 

  Sgt. Sam Troy : What's so funny, Gribs?

  Gribs : Funny? It's hilarious. I have to hand it to you, Sarge. It isn't everybody that can lead a patrol right across the desert into a Gerry nest. You're a born leader of men.

• Gribs : I'm right behind you, Sarge.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : I don't want you behind me. I want you where I can see you -- which is right here next to me.
