Herbert Sobel: Then explain the creases at the bottom. Frank Perconte: [pause] No excuse, sir. Capt.

Herbert Sobel: [holding up a single thread] Long enough to notice this. Revoked. Carwood Lipton: Sir. Capt. Herbert Sobel: [Sobel moves on to Malarkey] Name. Donald Malarkey: Malarkey, Donald G. [he presents his rifle for inspection] Capt. Herbert Sobel: Malarkey. Malarkey's slang for "bullshit," isn't it? Donald Malarkey: Yes, sir. Capt. Herbert Sobel: [Sobel examines Malarkey's rifle, then tosses it back at him] Rust on the buttplate hinge spring, Private Bullshit. Revoked. [Sobel moves on to Liebgott] Name. Joseph Liebgott: Liebgott, Joseph D., sir. [he presents his rifle for inspection] Capt. Herbert Sobel: [Sobel pulls Liebgott's bayonet out of its sheath and examines it] Rusty bayonet, Liebgott. You wanna kill Germans? Joseph Liebgott: Yes, sir. Capt. Herbert Sobel: [Sobel hits Liebgott's helmet with the bayonet] Not with this. [he walks out in front of the company and holds the bayonet up for every man to see] I wouldn't take this rusty piece of shit to war, and I will not take you to war in your condition! [he thrusts the bayonet into the ground] Now, thanks to these men and their infractions, every man in the company who had a weekend pass... has lost it. [pause] Change into your PT gear, we're running Currahee.

Nixon: You know a man in this company who wouldn't double-time Currahee with a full pack, just to piss in that man's morning coffee?
	Unknown Episode: Warren Muck: Right now, some lucky bastard's headed for the Pacific, get put on some tropical island, surrounded by six naked native girls, helping him cut up coconuts so he can hand feed them to the flamingos.
