- Lucille Ball: [as she steps off the train at Winsocki, encounteirng nobody but a barking dog] My public!
- Jack O'Riley: You are mighty long for a fellow named short.
- Chester Short: People always say that and it always strikes me as funny.
- Lucille Ball: Did anyone ever tell you you are charming and handsome?
- Dutch Miller: No.
- Lucille Ball: Then what ever gave you the idea?
- Bud Hooper: Well, couldn't we go outside, where it's dark?
- Lucille Ball: Why, Bud.
- Bud Hooper: Oh, I didn't mean what I sounded like I meant.
- Lucille Ball: That little guy'll die if he doesn't get to West Point.
- Jack O'Riley: I didn't go to West Point and I'm not dead.
- Lucille Ball: Wanna bet?
- Lucille Ball: Major, the Flying Tigers were full of Bud Hoopers. And do you know what they used at the field in Chung King to tell which way the wind was blowing? My silk stockings.
- Bud Hooper: Is it true that everybody in California sleeps under two blankets?
- Jack O'Riley: No! How could all those people get under two blankets?
- Maj. Reeber: That isn't a dress. That's a souvenir. This is the kind of country where we have the right to collect bottle tops. That's why the Flying Tigers wore silk stockings to show which way the wind was blowing.
- Col. Harkrider: Whaaaat?
- Lucille Ball: They did not rip my dress off - they were merely collecting souvenirs. That's the kind of people we are in this country. We collect goal posts, manhole covers, bottle tops, or, in my case, a dress.
- Maj. Reeber: Where's the sentry who was on the door?
- Dutch Miller: Here sir!
- Maj. Reeber: You know the rules. Why didn't you report the presence of this movie actress who came here with Hooper?
- Dutch Miller: Well sir, she said her name was Helen Schlesinger. I didn't realise she was Lucille Ball until her dress came off.
