Captain Stillman : You men are a *disgrace*. Maybe a few days in the stockade will help you change your rotten attitudes.
Cruiser : But, um, we're supposed to graduate tomorrow, sir.
Captain Stillman : That's even better. Tomorrow, you'll be on parade in front of General Barnicke. And when he sees what total fuck-ups you are, I will recommend that your whole platoon repeat the entire course of basic training.

Sergeant Hulka : When I tell you move, you'll move fast. When I tell you to jump, you're gonna say, "How high?" And make no mistake. I don't care where you come from, I don't care what color you are, I don't care how smart you are, I don't care how dumb you are, 'cause I'm gonna teach every last one of you how to eat, sleep, walk, talk, shoot, shit like a United States soldier. Understand?
Cruiser : Yes, sir.
