Foley:
In every class, there's always one joker who thinks that he's smarter than me. In this class, that happens to be you. Isn't it, Mayonnaise?
|
|
Foley:
Mayo, I want you D.O.R.
Mayo:
No sir. You can kick me outta here, but I ain't quitting.
Foley:
Get into your fatigues, Mayo. By the end of this weekend, you'll quit.
|
|
Lynette:
Damn You! Goddam You! Nobody D.O.R's after eleven weeks! Nobody!

[referring to Della Serra's haircut]
Foley:
Now this is my idea of an***bandit. Wait till some of the local girls get a look at you, Scrotum Head.

Byron:
I'm out at sea three weeks out of every month, and when I'm back at port I don't have time for this daddy stuff 'cause that's not who I am.
Young Zack:
That's okay, sir
Byron:
Wait a second, kid, you don't understand. I'm too old for this. I don't care what the Navy says. This is no place to bring up a kid like I told you on the telephone. You're better off at that state school back in Virginia.
Young Zack:
I'm never going back there. They treat me like***
Byron:
Maybe that's not for you to say. Goddamit, don't look at me that way. What happened to your mother had nothing to do with me.
Young Zack:
It did. You said you were gonna come back. You promised.
Byron:
Is that what she said? That's a female lie. That's bullshit! That's a lie!
Young Zack:
I found your letters. I read them right after she did it. You said you were gonna come back for us. You said you loved her, and she believed you. You're a liar!

Mayo:
I am talking to you, mother***er!
Foley:
What did you call me?
|
|
Worley:
Look at them bodacious set of ta's ta's.
|
|
Foley:
There's not gonna be any liberty for you boys cause you'll be going home by then.
|
|
Topper:
Who the hell is that guy?
Perryman:
That's your momma and daddy for the next thirteen weeks.
|
|
Paula:
You know something, you ain't nothing special. You got no manners, you treat woman like whores and if you ask me you got no chance of being no officer.

[Upon graduation]
Foley:
Congratulations Ensign Seeger.
Seeger:
Thank you, Sir.
Foley:
Gunnery Sgt, Ensign Seeger, Sir.

Mayo:
[while hoisting and securing the "morning colors," Zack glances up at the barracks' orderly-room. He notices a stone-faced Sid coming down the steps, in street clothes, escorted by Foley] ... You didn't kick him out, did you? Wait, sir! Didn't he tell you what he's been going through?
Foley:
It doesn't matter what he's been going through; that's what bartenders are for. What DOES matter is that he freaked out for SOME reason at twenty-five thousand feet, and that can't happen. Period.
Mayo:
There's this girl he's gotten pregnant, and she's putting him through hell, sir.
Worley:
He's right, Zack. It doesn't matter.
Mayo:
Just like that? It's all over? With less than two weeks to go, you're out?
Foley:
It can still happen to you too, Mayo-naise.
|
|
Mayo:
[after discovering that Sid has hung himself] ... Sir, this officer candidate requests permission to see you in private... Sir.
Foley:
[gently] ... Mayo, the whole class already knows about Candidate Worley, and we're sorry.
Mayo:
Oh, I'm sure you are.
|
|
Foley:
[his first cadence, for Zack and the other OC's] ... Sergeant Foley, can't you see; A Puget Deb is after me; Please don't let her catch my tail; I'd be better off in the county jail...! My mom was a Deb, my grandma too; That's all them gals know how to do; She'll catch my butt before she's through; Sergeant Foley, it's up to you!
|
|
Foley:
[his second cadence, for Zack alone] ... Candidate Mayo's strutting in the dirt; Look at his face, he's starting to hurt; Here he is, thinking he's a great big star; But before too long he's gonna D.O.R.; Seen guys like you a hundred times; I'm telling you, Mayo, I'm one of a kind; Gonna give you more than you can take; I'm gonna watch you crumble and watch you break!

[first lines]
Mayo:
[whispered to sleeping father] Hey.
[flashback to Manila]
Byron:
Hey, kid! Are you Zack?
Young Zack:
Yes, sir.
Byron:
I'm Byron; nice to meet you. Come on, let's get your bags, OK?
Young Zack:
Yes, sir.
|
|
[last lines]
Lynette:
Way to go, Paula! Way to go!
|
|
Foley:
You can forget it! You're out!
Mayo:
Don't you do it! Don't! You... I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I got nothin' else.
|
|
Worley:
Lynette, marry me. Make me the happiest man in the whole world.
Lynette:
I'm sorry, Sid, but I don't wanna marry you. I really like you. We've had ourselves some really great times, but I thought you understood. I want to marry a pilot. I want to live my life overseas. The wife of an aviator.
