• MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : [after Bean disrespects McKinney]  Are you a bad ass? Does Mrs' BEAN'S LITTLE BOY think he's a real bad ass, too?

  Pfc. Franklin Fairchild Bean : There ain't no Mrs. Bean.

  MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : [looks at his tatooed hands]  Now *why* am I not surprised by that? Lamar, this Mr. Bean here's been doggin' it. Doesn't want to shape up. Thinks he's got no team. Do you think he will change his mind after he meets his new roommates?

  Cpl. Harold Lamar : I believe he will change his mind, Sergeant.

• MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : We'll talk again. I believe tomorrow morning you'll find you've got a team, want one or not...

  MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : I will not, SERGEANT! That's a gig, Lamar!

  Cpl. Harold Lamar : Gig for Bean!

  MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : And gigs mean trouble.

  MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : Now then, I want to tell you people about your new roommate. This Mr. Bean here's a real *smart-ass* who thinks he's better than the rest of us. While all you color boys been busy soldiering, what do you think he's been doing? DOGGING IT, that's what! Dead-heading! And playing the SICK-CALL SOLDIER! Well, he will learn *not to dog it in HERE*! And YOU PEOPLE will grunt and sweat every last second with him until he DOES learn it!

  MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : [referring to Bryce, Stokes, Lawrence, Webb and Crane]  You know, you're defending a killer, an Article 121 extortionist, a rapist, a punk thug and an arsonist! Just wanted to you the kind of color boys that you're sweating.

  [sarcastically] 

  MSgt. Otis V. McKinney : Do you like sweating your buddies like this, Mr. Bean? You see, ol' Bryce and Crane there are really hurting 'cause YOU can't seem to get it together! And if you don't get it together soon, ALL your buddies are gonna be hurting! We're waiting on YOU, MR. BEAN!

• [Despite considerable pressure, Bean refuses to betray the Soul Patrol]
