Quotes 

• Buddy Pakeman : Nothing personal intended, I just want you to know I don't believe in doctors.

  Dr. Joe Gannon : It's all right. There are times when I don't believe in patients.

• Dr. Joe Gannon : How you feeling?

  Buddy Pakeman : I felt more comfortable laying under a German tank.

  Dr. Joe Gannon : You want something for the pain?

  Buddy Pakeman : Yes, I'd like a three-day pass so I can see how my girlfriend is making out. And I mean just that.

• Tod Marriott : Y'know, I always figured if I couldn't be a lawyer, well, there just wasn't anything else.

  Buddy Pakeman : Oh, boy, your old man sure got you brainwashed! You know there's a whole swingin' world out there, nobody ever heard of a lawyer. Who says you gotta walk in somebody else's shoes? You can wear sneakers and still be king!
