Sgt. Mulcahy : Sir!

[watching Searles practice with his bayonet]
Sgt. Mulcahy : Oh, what do we have here? Bonnie Prince Charley and his toy bayonet! You're not reading your books now. Stab me.
Cpl. Thomas Searles : What?
Sgt. Mulcahy : Stab-me.
[Searles comes at him gingerly and Mulcahy slaps it away]
Sgt. Mulcahy : I said STAB, not TICKLE! Come on, you prissy little schoolgirl! You're the worst soldier in this whole company, now HIT ME!
[Searles comes at him again, Mulcahy disarms him and slams the rifle butt into his stomach, then his face. Searles falls to the ground, writing in pain and sobbing]
Sgt. Mulcahy : No shame, son, get up... I SAID GET UP!
Trip : Nigger forgot to duck, that's all!
Colonel Robert G. Shaw : Sergeant, deal with that man!

Sgt. Mulcahy : [berating Private Trip] You half-wit black bastard! Did they truly cut your balls off at birth? I'm gonna work on you, you bastard, until I get you broken.

Sgt. Mulcahy : [mocking Searles' manner of walking] Oh, look at this, Bonnie Prince Charlie! Are you a gentleman? Are you a member of Congress or something? Or are you the bloody Prince of Africa?
[Searles looks at the sergeant indignantly]
Sgt. Mulcahy : Don't look at me, look straight ahead! I'll eat your ass up, boyo!
Major Forbes : [observing the drill with Shaw] You know, the Irish are not noted for their fondness for the colored.
