Quotes 

• [the guys are sitting in a row of latrines, after contracting food poisoning. Danny is waiting his turn...] 

  Private Alberto Ruiz : What kind of guy deserts his buddies?

  Private Marcus Taylor : A coward!

  Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury : C'mon, Marcus. You're the guy all the time tellin' us we ought not to be jumpin' to conclusions.

  Private Marcus Taylor : And I'm right! But a deserter's a deserter...

  Private Danny Purcell : [Danny rushes to the latrines and notices they are all occupied]  Awww! Well, hurry up!

  Private Alberto Ruiz : You know, if there was a guy thinking about deserting in our unit, I'd rather have him step forward and go home.

  Private Marcus Taylor : What?

  Private Alberto Ruiz : Well, better that than in the middle of a fire fight when he's supposed to be watching my back.

  Private Danny Purcell : Look, one of you guys had go to hurry up, 'k?

  Private Marcus Taylor : One second, Danny! You know Roo, you have a point there, man. Take Doc here - Doc might be a... a... a squirrelly, little, long-haired... a... red-neck, pinko, conshie medic but I know he wouldn't desert me in battle.

  Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury : Thank you.

  Private Danny Purcell : Awww, hell!

  [Steals toilet paper and runs off into the grass] 

  Pvt. Francis 'Doc Hoc' Hockenbury : Danny, come back here with... that.
