Quotes 

• Maj. E.C. Carter - Academy Commandant : Fletcher, I wish you'd listen to me. I want you to stop to think. You must realize what you did was dishonest.

  James 'Jimmie' Fletcher : Was I hurting anybody? Who's gonna lose anything if I pass an English exam?

  Maj. E.C. Carter - Academy Commandant : That's not it. There's a principle involved. And as for Hewlett's action in reporting you, he couldn't do anything else. You must see that. You must know the nature of an oath. You swore it yourself.

  James 'Jimmie' Fletcher : A lot of bologna.

  Maj. E.C. Carter - Academy Commandant : No, it isn't. It's the same oath you'd swear if you were in the service of your country.

  James 'Jimmie' Fletcher : My country again. With the kicking around I get, why should I worry about my country?

  Maj. E.C. Carter - Academy Commandant : That's all. Go to your room, Fletcher!
