Quotes 

• Nurse Sally Ann : [a large Australian is punching Tom during a bar brawl]  They're killing him!

  'Tank' Martin : It'll take hours.

• Tom Ferris : Well, your's ain't too bad.

  'Tank' Martin : Mine? I figured she was more your style.

  Tom Ferris : Mine?

  'Tank' Martin : Yeah. Rather attractive, I think.

  Tom Ferris : Yeah, if you're crazy about Thomas Jefferson.

• 'Tank' Martin : There's no other word for this but fate. I mean, two strangers lost, drifting. Then, the miracle happens. Eyes meet. Hands touch. Lips - hunger, fuse in that one moment of ecstasy. Would you like another drink?

• Juiletta 'Julie' Peroni : Tank, when you're - up there - do you ever think about - about anything happening?

  'Tank' Martin : What's the use of kidding. There isn't one of us that doesn't think about it. The terror. Cold, numbing, terror that you're alive and whole and then - all the sudden, without warning, there you are: married.

• 'Tank' Martin : I hate to tell you this, buddy boy; but, she's - nothing - Miss Frigidaire.

• 'Tank' Martin : We got three nurses in from Australia. You think kangaroos jump. These kids are breaking records every night.

• Juiletta 'Julie' Peroni : I am so confused.

  'Tank' Martin : Tom? And me? Well, it's the war Julie, Everything's upside down. The trick is - not to think about it.

  Juiletta 'Julie' Peroni : It's not the war, it's me. I've always wanted two of everything. As a little girl, I was afraid to lose what I loved. Wit two tings, you're - you're always safer. Two blue blankets. Two puppy dogs. Two pussycats.

  'Tank' Martin : You'd a been a smash on the Ark.

• 'Tank' Martin : Tom's had 58 missions. I'd say his nerves are desperately in need of a retuning.

  Juiletta 'Julie' Peroni : He seems fine to me.

  'Tank' Martin : Well, perhaps. But, as his flight commander, I'm afraid I'm going to have to recommend a solid month in Japan. Away from any undue stimulation. And I'm afraid, Lieutenant, that includes you.

• 'Tank' Martin : Alla tua salute.

  Juiletta 'Julie' Peroni : You do speak Italian.

  'Tank' Martin : Well, just enough to get my face slapped.

• 'Tank' Martin : Why do I have the distinct impression I have been the subject of a bit of character assassination?

  Juiletta 'Julie' Peroni : There's been some... target practice.

  'Tank' Martin : Well, I don't know what was said, but, I can assure you that when it comes to the fairer sex, my behavior has always been respectful, considerate and totally lecherous.

• 'Tank' Martin : This war is gettin' out of hand. I swear, all that people think about is fight, fight, fight.

• Julietta 'Julie' Ferris : [at the beach, two young girls walk by]  If you want to go and play, don't feel you're stuck here with Mamma.

  'Tank' Martin : No, I'll stay with Mamma.

  [sees Julie putting on suntan lotion] 

  'Tank' Martin : Mamma Mia!

  Julietta 'Julie' Ferris : I bought this suit for my husband.

  'Tank' Martin : It'll never fit him.

• Julietta 'Julie' Ferris : Put your bottle on the table.

  'Tank' Martin : If he puts the girl on the table.

  Tom Ferris : If you put the cigars on the table.

  Julietta 'Julie' Ferris : Alright. Alright.
