Quotes 

• Amory : There was a girl, Bill, a long time ago - married, a couple of kids. I knew her husband. She and I were great pals. She told me all her troubles. I don't see what's so blasted surprising about that - there were women around when I was a lieutenant.

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Yes, sir.

  Amory : Anyway, I was flattered. This marvelous woman had turned to me as sort of a big brother... except it didn't remain a simple friendship. I don't think it ever does.

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : Sir, if you're suggesting that something has happened between Jan and me...

  Amory : I'm *suggesting* that you do exactly what I did when I found out where we were heading.

  Lt. William 'Bill' Rice : What was that, sir?

  Amory : Run like a thief.
