- Kilgore: [49:10] Smell that? You smell that?
- Lance: What?
- Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell? The whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end.

- Lance: Thank you, sir.
- Kilgore: You can cut out the "sir" crap, Lance. I'm Bill Kilgore. I'm a goofy foot.
- Supply Sergeant: Hey, listen, would you guys like some seats, some press box seats for the show? You want those? The show, man, out here. The bunnies! The bunnies.
