Quotes
-
Polly Cooper McGillis : You're a sensitive level-headed woman.
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : Thank you for noticing, ma'am.
Polly Cooper McGillis : Can we talk for a minute?
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : Well, I am on call to the Major - it will have to be fast.
Polly Cooper McGillis : Okay. Um... what do you think of those adult 900 phone services?
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : [momentarily silent] Why don't I get us some coffee.
Polly Cooper McGillis : So tell me: in your opinion, what prompts people to call these numbers?
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : Well, I suppose it all comes down to one basic truth: those who can, do; those who can't, talk.
Polly Cooper McGillis : But what about those people who can-do and still wanna talk?
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : Well, they're probably not doing it right.

Polly Cooper McGillis : [examing a piece of paper] No, I'm talking about the phone bill. There's a 47 dollar long-distance charge here.
Elizabeth Cooper McGillis : Don't look at me; I haven't called Oceanside since the Major's last freak out.
Polly Cooper McGillis : No, this is a 900 number. Did one of you call to talk to Santa, or the New Kids on the Block hotline?
Robin Cooper McGillis : Mom, I wouldn't talk to the New Kids if somebody paid me 47 dollars.
