- Capt. 'Spearchucker' Jones: You know I read someplace the U.N. was here to liberate these people. It must have been a misprint.
- Young Hi: I make English perfect. Speak very goodly. Hello Joe, what do you know? You got candy bar for mother? She's sick.

- [Spearchucker touches Young Hi's hand to her face, then to his]
- Capt. 'Spearchucker' Jones: See, they're the same.
- Young Hi: No, not same.
- Capt. 'Spearchucker' Jones: [shocked] Why not?
- Young Hi: You need shave.
- Captain John McIntyre: [after Young Hi leaves to go home and be sold again] We got an E for effort.
- Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce: That's the way the moose bounces.
- Captain John McIntyre: We came close, you know?
- Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce: Yeah, you know for a minute there... I could use a drink.
- Young Hi: A triple, I think.
- Young Hi: [reenters the Swamp] I know how to make martini drink.
- Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce: Young Hi!
- Captain John McIntyre: Are you staying?
- Young Hi: Not only staying, also not going. I tell Benny most important thing I learn from you: who to tell "shove off!"
