- Col. Thomas F. Brown: Private Jones, you've been in the Marine Corps only one day, and you've already managed to get off on the wrong foot. Listen to this:
- Col. Thomas F. Brown: [reading from a written report] Insubordination. Impersonating an officer... and, a doctor.
- Col. Thomas F. Brown: [continues] Do you realize what you can get for that?
- Horace Debussy 'Sach' Jones Jr.: Yeah, ten dollars a visit.
- Col. Thomas F. Brown: [slams the table] Silence!
- Horace Debussy 'Sach' Jones Jr.: [to Cpl. Stacy] You'll have to look out who you're accusing, little corporal. Remember: a sergeant is ranker than a corporal!
