• [Nestor has just been killed by Korean troops] 

  Mike Forney : Poor Nestor. They were going to give him a medal, too.

• Lt. Harry Brubaker : I'm a lawyer from Denver, Colorado.

  Mike Forney : Judas, how'd you wind up in a smelly ditch in Korea?

  Lt. Harry Brubaker : I was just asking myself that same question.

• Mike Forney : [to Lt.Brubaker as he's about to be assigned to another ship]  What's the matter, sir? You look a little edgy. You know what I used to do? Go up to the forward edge of the flight deck and let the spray hit me right in the kisser. Works every time.

  [shouting as he is hoisted away] 

  Mike Forney : You should try it, Lieutenant!

• Lt. Harry Brubaker : Did you ever hear Admiral Tarrant go on about the war? About the chosen few who have to lay it on the line?

  Mike Forney : Naw, me and Nester don't do too much fraternizing with admirals.
