Quotes
-
Second Lt. Stellman : You a stranger here?
[Haven turns to him, then turns back to the bar and downs his whiskey]
John Haven : [to bartender] What kind of whiskey was that?
Bartender : On the bottle it says rye, but the way you take it I don't see what difference it makes.
John Haven : I'll have another rye.
Second Lt. Stellman : You didn't answer my question.
John Haven : I'm a stranger everywhere.
Second Lt. Stellman : You got a job?
John Haven : Listen, soldier, I know that one too. 'Got a job, stranger? No? Why don't you join the army? Three meals a day, a place to sleep, nice warm uniform.'
Second Lt. Stellman : It has a little more than that.
John Haven : Yeah, it has one thing more. That I could never take. It's got second lieutenants.
Second Lt. Stellman : You want to make this a personal matter? Alright.
John Haven : I don't make it anything, soldier. You tried to sell me something, I didn't buy it. Why don't you beat it?
Second Lt. Stellman : If I weren't in uniform I might teach you a few manners.
John Haven : If you could teach me anything you wouldn't be in a uniform.
