| Quotes |
Sam Marlow:
He was a good soldier. They were all good soldiers. Just doing what they were ordered to do. Elsa: What do you mean? Sam Marlow: Ah, I don't know what I mean. It's tough to tell the enemy without a uniform. You know what'd end all wars? Make everybody fight naked. Then nobody'd know who to kill, and that would be the end of it. Elsa: Sam... Sam Marlow: No, I mean it. And let the women get in there naked, too. That'd cinch it. No more war... just peace on earth and a lot of whoopee. See more » |
