Patrick Magee: Surgeon Reynolds

Quotes 

• Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : You know what you've got there, my malingering Hector?

  Private Henry Hook : No, sir. Hook's the name, sir.

  Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : You've got a fine glistening boil, my friend. There's one glistening boil for every soldier in Africa. You may not get any medals in this campaign, Hook, but you'll certainly get more boils. For every gunshot wound I probe, I expect to lance 3 boils.

  [brandishing a lance] 

  Private Henry Hook : A spot of medicinal brandy would set me up, sir!

  Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : Brandy's for heroes, Mr. Hook. The rest of you will make do with boils on your skin, flies in your meat and dysentery on your bellies!

• [to the wounded Hook] 

  Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : This is going to hurt you a lot more than it will me, I'm happy to say.

• Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : You know this boy?

  Orderly : Name is Cole, sir. He's a paper hanger.

  Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : Well, he's a dead paper hanger now.

• Surgeon Maj. Reynolds : Orderly, damn it!, will you keep the flies away! Fan it! Damn you, Chard! Damn all you butchers!
