Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery
- Captain Tony Stone: It should be in the next couple of blocks...
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: We should just ask someone.
- Captain Tony Stone: No! First of all, *men* don't ask for directions. Much less soldiers.
- Captain Tony Stone: I know what you're thinkin'. You're thinkin' shit, I'm a goddamn decorated war hero with three months left to serve, and they draft me into the angels-of-death squadron. I get a beeper, a canned speech, and a lunatic commanding officer to serve a fuckin' ocean of grief. Am I right?
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: More or less, sir. Am I right?
- Captain Tony Stone: You gotta wake the fuck up! You're not in high school, you're not in a fuckin' rock band, you're in the Army.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Yeah, I know. I know I'm in the Army. I gave blood to the Army. I got blown up in a fire-fight that lasted longer than your entire war. I didn't sunbath in Kuwait with the rest of the POGs.
- Captain Tony Stone: If she's into you, she's into some weird shit.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Thank you, sir, I'll make a note of that.
- Olivia Pitterson: Did you ever loose anybody?
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Yeah. Friends, over there. My father, during peace time, drunk driver.
- Olivia Pitterson: Did they catch him?
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: No, my father was the drunk driver.
- Captain Tony Stone: One more thing. You do not touch the Next-of-Kin. Avoid physical contact, unless it's a medical emergency, like they're having a heart attack or something. You're representing the Secretary of the Army, not Will Montgomery, so in case you feel like offering a hug or something... don't.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: [sarcastic] I'm not gonna be offering any hugs, sir.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Why did you join?
- Captain Tony Stone: A dare.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: A dare? Why are you still here?
- Captain Tony Stone: Well, they offered me a commission, and no one dared me to leave.
- Captain Tony Stone: And I dare you to stay.
- [last lines]
- Olivia Pitterson: Why don't you come inside. You can give me your address, and I'll write you a letter.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: I'd like that.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: We walk into these people lives, we don't know shit.
- Captain Tony Stone: Trust me... you don't wanna know.
- Captain Tony Stone: You a head case?
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: No, sir.
- Captain Tony Stone: I surely hope not.
- Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: [At the local bar] I'm gonna go home.
- Captain Tony Stone: What for? Internet porn? Come on, you even don't have a computer.
