- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: Boys. Division just translated some Jap newspapers that was found on the other side of the Matanikau. Would you care to know what the Nips think of us?
- Marines: Yes, sir!
- [he pulls out a piece of paper and starts reading]
- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: "The Americans on this island are not ordinary troops, but Marines: a special force recruited from jails and insane asylums for bloodlust."
- [the Marines all laugh and cheer]
- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: They got that right.
- [the Marines laugh again]
- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: I got some more good news: rumors that they would never get here to the contrary, the Army just landed.
- [the Marines groan]
- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: I know, I know. I want every man in my battalion shaved by 1600.
- Marines: Yes, sir!
- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: Guess there ain't nothin' much we can do about our dungarees.
- [he turns to Rodriguez]
- Lt Col. Lewis 'Chesty' Puller: I figure we're just raggedy-ass Marines. We look this way for a reason.
- Sgt. Manuel Rodriguez: Yes, sir.
