• Sgt. Petersen : With joyous memories, we leave the mystical city of Da Nang! What gay adventure lies ahead? Brother, this trip is gonna make LSD feel like aspirin!

• Sergeant Muldoon : [after seeing him in non-military issued pajamas]  Peterson, I worry about you. Three tours of duty and you're still acting like a civilian!

  Sgt. Petersen : Muldoon, I'm not a Marine. I believe in my comfort!

• George Beckworth : Petersen, what was all that talk about ladders and coffins

  Sgt. Petersen : Oh, when Charlie knows he's got a nice box to be buried in, he's just as brave as hell.

  George Beckworth : What about the ladders?

  Sgt. Petersen : They throw the ladders across the wire to get at us. And later they use them for litters.

  George Beckworth : Later on... you mean after everybody's dead?

  Sgt. Petersen : Yes, everybody. Men... women... and children. Everybody.

• Sgt. Petersen : [after being woken up by Sgt Muldoon]  3:30! Is that right, Sarge?

  Sergeant Muldoon : That's right, Soldier-boy. That's right!

  Sgt. Petersen : We'd better get some sleep! We've got a hell of a lot of work to do tomorrow!
