Quotes

G.I. Blues

Edit
  • Tulsa McLean: [while trying to pry a sandwich out of a baby's hand] Army manual, section 43 - when in hand to hand combat with the enemy, apply judo chop to the back of neck. Oh, if you was only my size, you little rascal.
  • Lili: I didn't think I would see you again.
  • Tulsa McLean: Yeah, that goes for me, too. Yes, sir, I'm sure glad I had to babysit tonight.
  • Lili: Oh, you like babies?
  • Tulsa McLean: After they grow up.
  • Tulsa McLean: Thanks, ma'am.
  • Lili: I don't like ma'am.
  • Tulsa McLean: Neither do I. Honey.
  • Lili: Come on, you poor millionaire. I'll buy you a drink. Honey.
  • Lili: For those who do not know 'Liebe' translated, means love.
  • Tulsa McLean: Oh, you don't have to explain that you a G.I. That's one of the first words he learns when he gets over here.
  • Lili: Ah, you too, Tulsa?
  • Tulsa McLean: Oh absolutely. Like 'Liebe dat Sauerkraut'.
  • Lili: I was not thinking of sauerkraut.
  • Tulsa McLean: [singing] Can't you see, I love you, / Please don't break my heart in two. / That's not hard to do / 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart.
  • Tulsa McLean: [to a crying baby] At ease! At ease!
  • Tulsa McLean: [about the baby] I think he's getting ready to bust loose again.
  • Lili: I have something to confess. Last night when I sat down at your table I thought 'oh oh, another one to watch out for'.
  • Tulsa McLean: And when you sat down I figure 'wow, now here she is. The gal I heard soooo much about.
  • Lili: Oh, I have a reputation?
  • Tulsa McLean: Yeah, but it's a good one. You're supposed to be a cold potato. A human iceberg. The original fish eye.
  • Lili: Oh, please. So many compliments will go to my head.
  • Trudy: I borrowed a car from my uncle Otto. We go for a ride later?
  • Tulsa McLean: Sorry, we gotta play tonight.
  • Trudy: Ja wohl!
  • Tulsa McLean: Nah, you don't understand. I mean here.
  • Trudy: But, I have de car.
  • Tulsa McLean: Well, maybe after we're finished here.
  • [looks at Trudy over]
  • Tulsa McLean: Keep your motor running, honey.
  • [kiss]
  • Tulsa McLean: Mmm.
  • Tulsa McLean: Lili? Now this isn't the time and it's certainly not the place...
  • Lili: Well, of course I'll marry you. I love you.
  • Tulsa McLean: Where are we going tonight, honey?
  • Lili: I'd prefer'd if you didn't call me honey.
  • Tulsa McLean: You didn't mind it inside.
  • Lili: Now we're outside.
  • Tulsa McLean: But I got the idea you and me kinda hit it off.
  • Lili: Ah. You and Herr Klugmann have much in common.
  • Tulsa McLean: Er, now, wait a minute, honey.
  • Lili: No honey.
  • Tulsa McLean: Look, if you and I are going places tonight...
  • Lili: We are not going any place. You helped me get rid of Herr Klugmann. Thank you. Now I'm going home.
  • Tulsa McLean: Besides you don't have to pay us much.
  • Papa Mueller: How much?
  • Tulsa McLean: How much can you afford?
  • Papa Mueller: Nothing!
  • Tulsa McLean: We'll take it.
  • German Guitarist: You think it is slow... dull, ja?
  • Tulsa McLean: Nein! Not if you're with it; the rhythm has to just sorta ooze out.
  • German Guitarist: Vas ist "ooze"?
  • Lili: [chuckles] Show him: "Vas ist ooze"?
  • Tulsa McLean: Okay, I show you "Vas ist ooze."
  • German Guitarist: Ya, ya! Ooze.
  • Tulsa McLean: [singing] Hold me tight, The moon's so bright, Tonight is so right for love...
  • Tulsa McLean: [singing] The Fräuleins are pretty as flowers, But we can't make a pass, The Fräuleins are pretty as flowers, But we can't make a pass, Cause they're all wearin' signs saying: "Keepen sie off the grass", I've got those hup, two, three, four, occupation G.I. Blues...
  • Sgt. McGraw: Hey, it's our last night here. How about getting me a date, Dynamite?
  • Sgt 'Dynamite' Bixby: Blonde, brunette, or redhead?
  • Tulsa McLean: Aw, he wouldn't care if she was bald, just as long as she wiggles.
  • Sgt. McGraw: [laughs] You know it!
  • Sgt 'Dynamite' Bixby: Who's this Lili?
  • Turk: She's a dancer in the Cafe Europa. There ain't a G.I. in the Third Armored Division can date her. She's a real fooler. Steam heat outside, iceberg inside.
  • Sgt 'Dynamite' Bixby: Yeah? Well, I got 50 bucks that says I can defrost her.
  • Sgt. McGraw: Uh, vas ist, uh, your name?
  • Britta - Redhead: Britta.
  • Lili: Better sing, soldier. Your loyal public is waiting.
  • Tulsa McLean: This might be the end of a beautiful beginning.
  • Tulsa McLean: Do you think you can play it on your, uh, squeezebox?
  • Jeeter: Dames is money in this man's army, huh, Tulsa?
  • Tulsa McLean: Don't look at me. I'm broke.
  • Jeeter: Yeah, I'd like to be as broke as you are.
  • Tulsa McLean: With me, romancing a girl is a hobby, not a business.
  • Cookie: Rome wasn't built in a day, and the way they put her together, I'm glad they took their time.
  • Tulsa McLean: [singing] You got the huggin'est arms, The thrillin'est eyes, You're just my style, And you're just the right size, Gonna stop, shoppin' around, I'm gonna stop shoppin' around, 'Cause I found the girlie I'm lookin' for...
  • Tulsa McLean: Aw, relax, you guys, I'll play it my way. Nice, clean, wholesome. Just don't get shook up.
  • Cookie: Yeah, yeah. Tulsa, Lili. Lili, Tulsa.
  • Tulsa McLean: [singing] This could be the kiss, To unlock heaven's door, That magic hour of bliss, That we both waited for...
  • Lili: I have a good idea. We'll go home, and I'll make you a nice Liederkranz on pumpernickel and some coffee.
  • Cookie: Here we are, two lonely people, far from home. Neither one of us with a cozy apartment to invite the other one to, where we could sit and read. Maybe listen to records on the grammafunken.
  • Tina: I have an apartment!
  • Cookie: You have?
  • Tina: But no grammafunken.
  • Cookie: No grammafunken? Who needs a grammafunken? We'll make our own music.
  • Lili: I thought Indians only played tom-toms.
  • Tulsa McLean: Oh, well, that's just in the movies.
  • Tulsa McLean: That's the trouble with people. I mean, if people got to know each other better, then they'd, uh, get to know each other better, and everything would be better all around.
  • Lili: Much better.
  • Cookie: What do you want to know, my little bambino?
  • Rick: You make a mistake. Bambino, it's a boy baby.
  • Cookie: Oh, that is a mistake! Baby, you're no boy.
  • Tulsa McLean: Tonight, reconnaissance. Tomorrow, the Battle of the Bulge.
  • Cookie: Before I decided to make the army my career, the only girls I ever met were, uh, debutantes. Dull, artificial butterflies. Oh, they could play tennis, and ride, and raise beagles. But could they cook pizza? Not on your life.
  • Tulsa McLean: Oh, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to beat it.
  • Lili: Oh? Oh, what a pity.
  • Cookie: Okay. Okay, so you were born with a decent streak. It's not your fault. Nobody's perfect.
  • Lili: Really. You underestimate your attraction.
  • [last lines]
  • Tulsa McLean: Didja evah?
