Major John Reisman: [briefing the dozen] And kill any officer in sight. Victor R. Franko: Ours or theirs?
Major John Reisman: You only hit him once? Samson Posey: I didn't mean to kill him!
Major Fambrough: Sir knight? I've just pissed in my pants... and nobody can do anything about it.
Major Fambrough: You wish to see the frontier? John Dunbar: Yes sir, before it's gone.
Phil: For your information, Hairdo, there is a major network interested in me. Larry: Yeah, that would be the Home Shopping Network.
