Colonel Michael Otley
- Colonel Michael Otley: Lucille, everyone in the Army isn't a general.
- Lucille: No, sir, but you'd be surprised how my tips increased after I started calling everyone general.
- Lucille: Uh, General, excuse me, sir... I know it ain't none of my business, but Lieutenant Mallory right, sir. He *did* sleep outside.
- Colonel Michael Otley: What's that?
- Lucille: I got it right here in my diary.
- Colonel Michael Otley: You actually saw him?
- Lucille: Not only saw him, I almost *sat* on him. Well, you see, me and my girlfriend was out , uh, lookin' at the moon...
- Colonel Michael Otley: [interrupting] Are you *sure* it was Lieutenant Mallory?
- Lucille: Oh, yes, sir. I never forget a face - especially when I've sat on it!
- Jean Howard: I'm not going to be talked to that way by you or anybody else - in or out of uniform. Now, who's your commanding officer?
- Colonel Michael Otley: My commanding officer?
- Jean Howard: Yes! I'm going to report you.
- Colonel Michael Otley: Report? Well, oh, if you were only a WAC!
- Captain Jack Ross: [racing past] I got it! I got it! I got it!
- Colonel Michael Otley: Got what?
- Lieutenant Don Mallory: An avocado, sir.
- Colonel Michael Otley: What's so startling about that?
- Lucille: You know, General, he's the one expecting to become a mother.
- Colonel Michael Otley: Oh. That is startling.
- Colonel Michael Otley: And, of course, there may be a little Mallory. You must think of him.
- Lieutenant Don Mallory: Oh, there won't be a little Mallory. Not for quite some time, sir.
- Colonel Michael Otley: I said that too and now our little Otley is piloting a Superfortress over Tokyo.
- Colonel Michael Otley: Attack your problem, my boy. Attack it. Mrs. Otley and I had the right idea 30 years ago. We made it a counter-order, no matter what rages in our hearts, to kiss each other. She'll find it pretty hard to shout at you after a kiss.
- Lieutenant Don Mallory: But, you mean, I...
- Jean Howard: Are you suggesting that he kiss me?
- Colonel Michael Otley: As his commanding officer, it could be interpreted as an order!
- Colonel Michael Otley: Young people have to realize that society has certain moral rules and regulations. If they're broken, well, they have to pay the penalty, that's all.
