- K.C. Kolowski: We both know what happened out there.
- Cpl. Boonie Lanier: No, you don't. Even YOU don't know what happened.
- K.C. Kolowski: But I felt it. When you came back. Skinny, scared, just wanting someone to hold on to you.
- Cpl. Boonie Lanier: You took care of me.
- K.C. Kolowski: Every time you looked at me. Every time we made love. I couldn't stop feeling it, I still do, when I look at you, when I see that damn scar they gave you.
- Cpl. Boonie Lanier: Touch it K.C.
- [Takes her hand and moves it to his scar]
- K.C. Kolowski: Boonie you're scaring me.
- Cpl. Boonie Lanier: Come on, touch it. See? It's tougher, the skin's healed. I'm not skinny any more, I'm not scared.
- K.C. Kolowski: I am.
- Cpl. Boonie Lanier: I know, I feel it.
- Nurse Colleen McMurphy: [unwrapping the pistol she kept for Dodger while he was in the hospital in Japan] So she carefully unwrapped the swaddling clothes and lifted the tiny orphan up to the sunlight.
- Sgt. Evan 'Dodger' Winslow: I didn't think you'd give it back.
- Nurse Colleen McMurphy: I said I would.
