Quotes3

  • Johnny Williams: They fix you up?
  • Captain Fifi: Yeah. Two rooms. One for me and one for you and the Major.
  • Johnny Williams: We'll discuss that later. What'll you have?
  • Captain Fifi: That looks nice.
  • Bill Jones: Another Shark's Tooth, here.
  • Shorty McGuire: Excuse me, Madam. We're talkin' business. Listen, Bugsy, look at it this way. You're an American. You're a flyer. And you're broke. Right? And you're in Mandalay. Right? You hate Japs. Okay! So, it all adds up, don't it? What do you say?
  • Johnny Williams: I say I ain't joinin' any American volunteers in Burma, China, or anywhere else.
  • Shorty McGuire: Give me one reason for such a statement.
  • Johnny Williams: How do you like that? You got to give guys reasons around here for wanting to stay alive. Listen, Lafayette, when I die, I ain't dyin' for China. I'm dyin' for Johnny Williams. And I ain't even doin' that if there's an angle out.
  • Shorty McGuire: You should've been around here a month ago. It was rainin' Japs. You know, there's a reason for them not fightin'.
  • Bill Jones: Yeah, we've licked 'em.
  • Shorty McGuire: We licked nobody; because nobody's been fightin' us.
  • Bill Jones: They haven't, huh? I suppose that was 30 butterflies we shot down last month.
  • Shorty McGuire: Last month ain't this month.
  • Bill Jones: We run 'em off the road.
  • Shorty McGuire: My point is they ain't started comin' yet. "We saved the Burma Road." I'll tell you what we've been doin', knocking out a few of their ham-and-eggers. The real McCoy ain't come into the ring yet.
  • Shorty McGuire: It can't be a dame. Nobody would pass up 20 grand for a dame. For 20 dames! Come on, is it a dame? Listen, Bugsy, if its a dame, you can put her on ice. A day on ice ain't gonna hurt any dame. It improves 'em!
