Eriksson : Give me a minute on this thing we're doing. I mean, what we're doing. What are we doing, sarge?
Meserve : We have a VC suspect. Is that what you mean? She's a VC whore and we're gonna have fun with her.
Eriksson : She's just a farm girl.
Meserve : You're the cherry here, right? So lighten up.
Clark : -Let me carry the weight. -What's the problem, sarge?
Meserve : He don't think our VC whore is a VC whore.

Eriksson : You a chaplain, sir?
Chaplain Kirk : Are you religious, son? I'm a Methodist.
Eriksson : I'm a Lutheran.
Chaplain Kirk : Well, we can still talk, can't we?

Capt. Hill : There ain't no point, Eriksson. I'm simply trying to illuminate the terrain in which we currently find ourselves deployed. You don't mind that, do you? And if you do? Fuck you!
Eriksson : Yes, sir.
Capt. Hill : You on my frequency?
Eriksson : Yes, sir.
Capt. Hill : You fucking maggot! Who the hell do you think you are? You're in that report recommending Meserve for a Bronze Star! He pulled you out of a VC tunnel, boy! Now the shit with that girl, that was wrong. But he's a kid, Eriksson. He's twenty goddamn years old! And you're gonna ruin his life? He saved yours!
