Quotes 

  • Major Dalby : The Americans have put a tail on Palmer.

    Colonel Ross : How very tiresome of them.

  • Colonel Ross : [after Palmer has shot Dalby]  I was counting on you being an insubordinate bastard, Palmer.

    Palmer : You used me as a decoy. I might have been killed or driven stark raving mad.

    Colonel Ross : That's what you're paid for.

  • Palmer : [Inside the modern grocery store]  I haven't seen you here before, sir.

    Colonel Ross : No, well, I don't, um, really care for these American... shopping methods. One has to move with the times, I suppose, hmm?

  • Colonel Ross : [telling Palmer about his upcoming transfer to Major Dalby's department]  You won't have much time for cooking. Dalby *works* his men. And he doesn't have my sense of humor.

    Palmer : [Said with a straight face]  Yes, sir. I will miss that, sir.

  • Colonel Ross : [shopping with Palmer]  Beef-A-Roni? Extraordinary.

  • Palmer : [Reporting to Col. Ross's office]  Sergeant Palmer, reporting as ordered.

    Colonel Ross : Close the door... And don't slouch into my office like a pregnant camel. Stand to attention.

  • Colonel Ross : [Inside a modern grocery store, picking up a can of mushrooms out of Palmer's shopping cart]  "Champignons"... You're paying ten pence more for a fancy French label. If you want mushrooms, you'd get better value on the next shelf.

    Palmer : It's not just the label. These *do* have a better flavor.

    Colonel Ross : Of course... You're quite the gourmet, aren't you?

  • Colonel Ross : You just love the army, don't you?

    Palmer : Oh, yes, sir. I just love the army, sir.

  • Colonel Ross : I want you to do a job for me.

    Palmer : Have I any choice?

    Colonel Ross : Frankly, no.

  • Palmer : Stick *that* in my B-107.

    Colonel Ross : Very funny.
