• Sergeant Ben Roberts : It was just the only way I could think of to save my brother.

  Major Anthony Nelson : To save your brother?

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : Yes, sir. My brother and my sister in law, they got this here farm in Four Corners, Alabama.

  Major Anthony Nelson : Yeah?

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : It ain't much, but it's all they got in the world. Anyway, I got this letter from my brother, yesterday, saying as to how they're gonna lose that farm. You see there's been a turrible drought down there, all year. Not a drop of water. All his crops are dryin' up and blowin' away. So when I heard Dr. Bellows talk about you... I uh... excuse me again for bothering you, sir...

• Major Roger Healey : Hey, corn. This is fine. Where'd you get that?

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : That's the finest corn in Alabama, sir.

  Major Anthony Nelson : Yes?

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : I know I asked you to make it rain down there, and I certainly appreciate your help, but, Major, this is, uh, well, my brother says the streets are turning into rivers! His farm is three feet underwater. The barn floated away this morning.

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : You've got to stop that rain, sir!

  Major Anthony Nelson : Yeah?

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : My brother just phoned me, and nobody understands it, but, uh, that lake that used to be his farm...

  Major Anthony Nelson : Yes, what's the matter now?

  Major Anthony Nelson : Trout?

  Sergeant Ben Roberts : And bass, and catfish! It's a fisherman's paradise! My brother and all his friends is rentin' out cabins to tourists, and getting rich!
