Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams: Sgt. Harry Ross

Quotes 

• Sgt. 'Three Star' Hennessy : [the arrival of the tank causes consternation]  Relax, boys, relax! Here's your new mount. No saddle, no bridle, no spurs, no hay. No nothing.

  Sgt. Harry Ross : What's going on around here?

  Sgt. 'Three Star' Hennessy : Well, if it ain't Horse-face Harry from the Marines!

  Sgt. Harry Ross : What wet rock did you crawl out from?

  Sgt. 'Three Star' Hennessy : Now is that any way for a mule's chambermaid to talk?

  Sgt. Harry Ross : Chambermaid?

  Sgt. 'Three Star' Hennessy : Yeah. We're moving in.

  Sgt. Harry Ross : Not in my stables you ain't. It's the last runaround that smelly steamroller's giving me.

  Sgt. 'Three Star' Hennessy : Seems to me I heard you say that in Fort Oglethorpe and Knox and Myer.

  Sgt. Harry Ross : Yeah, but when this territory gets through with that portable garbage can of yours, you can slice it up and sell it for paperweight.

  Sgt. 'Three Star' Hennessy : Oh, you're bitter, Harry. You're bitter. The horse is alright with a buggy behind it but these are modern times. We got telephones and aeroplanes and tanks.

  Sgt. Harry Ross : Not on this post. You see, Mister Hennessy, this is the desert. And the desert means sand. Sand that you can't get a grip on. And you sink and you slip and you slide. Why the horses'll be towing that thing out of here with its tail tucked between its legs.
