- Lt. Woody Kerwood: Well, if I'm gonna fall apart, I'd rather do it stewed than sober.
- [laughs]
- Lt. Woody Kerwood: It doesn't hurt as much, huh?
- Lt. Woody Kerwood: It's easy money. And look at me. I gotta car, this apartment, I almost got money in the bank.
- Red: You flyin' ships in the movies?
- Lt. Woody Kerwood: And boy is it soft. Fifty bucks a flight and all you have to do is a couple of outside loops, tear up a wing, and land upside down.
- Aviator #1: Well, boys, the war is over.
- Aviator #2: What do you mean the war is over? I gotta wife.
- Follette Marsh: Gibby, I was ambitious. Still am. Ambitious and - weak. Not a very happy combination. You're well rid of me.
- Captain Gibson: Well, a crack up is a crack up.
- Follette Marsh: I'm so glad to see you back, safe.
- Captain Gibson: Yes. You're looking awfully well. A trifle different, but, very well.
- Lelewer: Oh, why shouldn't she? She spends half her life in beauty parlors.
- Lt. Woody Kerwood: Hey Gibby, you're not still that way about her, are you? You know, she married Von Furst for her career and, what I mean, she's havin' it. Hey, you're gettin' plenty of revenge, Gibby. They say he beats the behooves-us outta her. And I wouldn't put it past him.
- Woody's Premier Date: These them stunt fliers are a screwy lot of mugs!
- Captain Gibson: You know, fellas, there's only four of us left. Let's all stick together. One for all and all for one. To the squadron.
- Lt. Woody Kerwood: To the birds that were lost.
- Captain Gibson: To the lost squadron.
- Red: That's my greatest drawback. Modesty! Did you ever notice my eyes? Something soulful about them, isn't there? Say, how would you like a photograph of me, signed, suitable for framing?
- The Pest - Woody's Sister: Oh, Red, you've done too much for me already. Telling me all of those wonderful things about yourself.
- Arthur Von Furst: This is supposed to be war! Death! Hell! Destruction! Not a Sunday School picnic! I'm making this picture for the theater. Not for the ash can!
- The Pest - Woody's Sister: Oh, Gibby, Gibby, dear. He's all right, Red. I knew he would be.
- Red: Sure. You can't break a tough egg like Gibby.
- Arthur Von Furst: Now, we've got to retake it. And we're gonna retake it until you do what I tell you!
- Officer: Now, listen, I ought to throw the lot of you in the can. And I've got a good mind to, just on suspicion.
- Captain Gibson: Suspicion of what?
- Officer: Now, don't get gay.
