Alan Baxter: Bill Jones

Quotes 

• Johnny Williams : They fix you up?

  Captain Fifi : Yeah. Two rooms. One for me and one for you and the Major.

  Johnny Williams : We'll discuss that later. What'll you have?

  Captain Fifi : That looks nice.

  Bill Jones : Another Shark's Tooth, here.

  Shorty McGuire : Excuse me, Madam. We're talkin' business. Listen, Bugsy, look at it this way. You're an American. You're a flyer. And you're broke. Right? And you're in Mandalay. Right? You hate Japs. Okay! So, it all adds up, don't it? What do you say?

  Johnny Williams : I say I ain't joinin' any American volunteers in Burma, China, or anywhere else.

  Shorty McGuire : Give me one reason for such a statement.

  Johnny Williams : How do you like that? You got to give guys reasons around here for wanting to stay alive. Listen, Lafayette, when I die, I ain't dyin' for China. I'm dyin' for Johnny Williams. And I ain't even doin' that if there's an angle out.

• Bill Jones : I don't know what's gotten into those buck tooth babies. All the sudden they start playin' hard to get.

• Shorty McGuire : You should've been around here a month ago. It was rainin' Japs. You know, there's a reason for them not fightin'.

  Bill Jones : Yeah, we've licked 'em.

  Shorty McGuire : We licked nobody; because nobody's been fightin' us.

  Bill Jones : They haven't, huh? I suppose that was 30 butterflies we shot down last month.

  Shorty McGuire : Last month ain't this month.

  Bill Jones : We run 'em off the road.

  Shorty McGuire : My point is they ain't started comin' yet. "We saved the Burma Road." I'll tell you what we've been doin', knocking out a few of their ham-and-eggers. The real McCoy ain't come into the ring yet.
