Quotes |
Colonel Hackett:
How about you, Mr. Jevries? Jevries: I've been in my quarters all evening. Colonel Hackett: Alone I suppose? No visitors? Jevries: Alone... I was reading. Colonel Hackett: Where were you, Doctor? Alone too, I suppose? Dr. Brooks: That's right. Alone and reading. Colonel Hackett: [Exasperated] Wasn't anyone doing anything we can check up on? Dr. Brooks: [Turning the tables] What were YOU doing? Colonel Hackett: [Sheepishly] I was alone and reading too. Dr. Brooks: Then don't pick on us. Colonel Hackett: All right, all right. See more » |
