Miss Haynes, if you're ever under a falling building and somebody runs up and offers to pick you up and carry you to safety, don't think, don't pause, don't hesitate for a moment, just spit in his eye.
What did that mean?
What is "It means we're going to Vermont.
We ate, and then he ate. We slept, then he slept.
What is "Yeah, then he woke up and nobody slept for forty-eight hours."
We wouldn't be any good as generals.
What is "You weren't any good as privates"
I got along very well in the Army without you.
What is "It took 15,000 men to take my place."
We like to take care of our friends.
What is "We're practically strangers!"
How much is "wow"?
What is "It's right in between, uh, between "ouch" and "boing."
Phil, when are you gonna learn that girls like that are a dime a dozen?
What is "Please, don't quote me the price when I haven't got the time."
How could you have sent all my suits to the cleaners?
You've only got two.
"What is "Well, I think you'd send one at a time then, in that case.
We came up here for the snow. Where're you keepin' it?
What is "Well, we take it in during the day!"
What did you have for lunch today?
I didn't have lunch.
Well, maybe you ought to eat some.
What is "Why is everybody suddenly so concerned about my eating habits?
Well, It's always that she's been kind of a mother hen.
Yeah, we wanted the mother hen to leave the roost so that the little chick could... Oh, I guess we laid an egg.
What is "An egg? Brother, you laid a Vermont volleyball!"
Gosh, I hope I can take the electric blanket back.
Where you got that?
What is "Under the underwear."
Uh, that's right, Bob, ideal. That's exactly the word we used, too – ideal. We looked at this big ski lodge and we said "Isn't it ideal, absolutely, ideal," didn't we?
Ideal.
What is "We've established the fact the lodge is ideal."
Oh, my word, if I wasn't such a mean old biddy,
What is "I'd break right down and cry."
Well, you're not exactly Superman,
What is "but you're awfully available."
Uh, I don't seem to have any cash.
What is "What did you do with THAT, leave it in your snood?"
I don't know what he's up to, but he's got that Rodgers and Hammerstein look again.
Is that bad?
What is "Not bad, but always expensive."
That's not the way back to Headquarters!
Joe, YOU know that, and I know that, but the General doesn't know it. At least he won't for about an hour and a half.
That sergeant will be a private in the morning.
What is "Yes, isn't he lucky."
Well, are things really that bad?
What is "We're using the ski tow to hang the wash on."
What is this? The best two outta three?
What is "I guess I got carried away."
My dear partner, when what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting, whatever it is you've got left.
What is "When I figure out what that means I'll come up with a crushing reply."
I think it's impossible, ridiculous and insane!
Anything else?
Yeah, I wish I'd thought of it first.
I am not satisfied with the conduct of this division. Some of you men are under the impression having been at Anzio entitles you not to wear neckties. Well you're wrong. Neckties will be worn in this area! And look at the rest of your appearance. You're a disgrace to the outfit. You're soft! You're sloppy! You're unruly! You're undisciplined!
What is "And I never saw anything look so wonderful in my whole life! Thank you all."
He sunk everything - his pension, his life savings –EVERYTHING in remodeling this place. Used to be a grist mill and a barn;
What is "Now it's a Tyrolean haunted house."
Look who's talkin' about guilt!
What do you mean by that?
What is "I mean you shouldn't mix fairy tales with liverwurst and buttermilk."
