Charts : [Wondering if Scott is a Viet Nam vet] So, uh, how long were you there?
Kevin Scott : I wasn't. Too young.
Johnson : [Looking a little skeptical] Is he goin' with us?
Col. Cal Rhodes : He served with 4th Recon Marines.
Johnson : "Served"?
Kevin Scott : I was discharged for striking a radio operator who fell asleep at his post.
Kevin Scott : [the other men look a little askance at him, but he continues] You're worried that I have no combat experience. You're right. There's no way of proving that I won't fail in combat. But then again, you can't prove that I will, either.
Sailor : [Grinning mischievously at Scott] This is gonna' be a whole lotta' fun with this one.

Kevin Scott : [During night training, Sailor sprays gunfire indiscriminately at cardboard targets] Congratulations, Sailor, you just killed a prisoner.
Sailor : [scoffs] He's a collaborator!

Col. Cal Rhodes : [talking to Sailor in the prison exercise yard] You know, I had a heck of a time tracking you down. You, uh, wandered around all over the United States. I know a lot about you: Frank used to mention you in his letters. He said you were the best man in the unit.
Sailor : Yeah?
Col. Cal Rhodes : What the hell happened to you?
Sailor : Man, I'm so far beyond that shit now... I get energy from the air! I talk to polar bears. I converse with paramecium. Man, I fuck nuclear waste! Shit...
Sailor : You guys are gonna' be using real grenades and stuff, man. You know, they took mine when I got in here.
Col. Cal Rhodes : Hey, look, asshole. This isn't some kind of a bullshit biker's acid trip. This is a precise military operation.
Sailor : Hey, listen. Frank was the best man in anybody's unit. I got enough brain cells to remember that... You gotta' give me a shot, man. You gotta'.
