Tom D'Andrea: Tommy

Quotes 

• Sgt. McGee : How'd you get in the Army?

  Tommy : Politics.

  Sgt. McGee : Is that a reason?

  Tommy : Look Sergeant, I got three reasons for bein' in the Army. First, I'm patriotic. Second, I love my country. And third, they nailed me.

  Pvt. Twardofsky : And that goes for me too.

  Sgt. McGee : Listen, you two birds report to me immediately after this formation.

  [Next scene, Tommy and Maxie are peeling potatoes] 

  Pvt. Twardofsky : You and my big mouth.

• Sgt. McGee : Shut up, back there!

  Pvt. Twardofsky : [Marching, out of ear shot of the Sgt. McGee]  There's one of the nicest guys ever born.

  Tommy : That guy wasn't born, he was issued.

• Johnny Jones : There's a lot of mothers and sweethearts in that mob.

  Tommy : Speaking of sweethearts, get a load of that military objective approaching us. Shall I trip her?

  Johnny Jones : Hey, take it easy, yardbird, the young lady happens to be a friend of mine.
