Quotes 

• Eddie Dibble : What'll we call the show?

  Maxie Twardofsky : Yip! Yip! Yaphank! the second.

  Jerry Jones : No, no, Max. That's no good. It's a new war, a new show. We've got to have a new name!

  Maj. John B. Davidson : Well, why not state the simple fact, This is the Army.

  Jerry Jones : What do you think fellas? That's it, This is the Army!

• Maj. John B. Davidson : That was the war to end all wars. And now we got a new one. Well, what are we waiting for? A new war? Or a new show!

  Sgt. McGee : I knew it! Sir.

  Maj. John B. Davidson : Well, Jerry, what do you say? Will you help?

  Jerry Jones : Sure, I'll help. It will be something fine for the boys to remember; because, I'm afraid there will be a lot of it they'll want to forget. Incidentally, Colonel, it just reminded me. I've got a son right here at the camp. He's got a little talent. Maybe we can use him?
