Quotes 

• Sgt. McGee : What's the matter with you Twardofsky? Don't you like our early morning calisthenics?

  Pvt. Twardofsky : Well, I didn't like 'em at first.

  Sgt. McGee : Oh, you didn't like 'em at first. How do you like 'em now?

  Pvt. Twardofsky : I'm still on first.

• Sgt. McGee : How'd you get in the Army?

  Tommy : Politics.

  Sgt. McGee : Is that a reason?

  Tommy : Look Sergeant, I got three reasons for bein' in the Army. First, I'm patriotic. Second, I love my country. And third, they nailed me.

  Pvt. Twardofsky : And that goes for me too.

  Sgt. McGee : Listen, you two birds report to me immediately after this formation.

  [Next scene, Tommy and Maxie are peeling potatoes] 

  Pvt. Twardofsky : You and my big mouth.

• Sgt. McGee : Shut up, back there!

  Pvt. Twardofsky : [Marching, out of ear shot of the Sgt. McGee]  There's one of the nicest guys ever born.

  Tommy : That guy wasn't born, he was issued.
