Quotes

[last lines]
Arthur Benneft: But, tell me, Yeats, these sacrifices we are all making - do you think they will eventually mean something to mankind?
Colonel James Yeats: I wish I were able to answer that question. We want to help humanity. We fight wars only because we crave peace so ardently and pray that each war will be the last. But always in the strange scheme of things some maniac with a lust for power arises and, in one moment, destroys the peace and tranquility we've created through the years. We hate war! We despise it, but when war comes, we must and will fight on and on.

Crazy Credits

The swelling of the end title music cuts off the end of Colonel Yates's
final line. However, as he has just said "We will fight on" and is simply
repeating "and on, and on, and on," it was likely not a mistake. See more »
