![]() Tonight, you pukes will sleep with your rifles. Private Pyle, you are definitely born again hard! Hell, I may even allow you to serve as a rifleman in my beloved Corps. Sir! The private's weapon's name is Charlene, sir! Sir! The private's fifth general order is to quit my post only when properly relieved, sir! Sir! That is to guarantee that the private is not giving the inspecting officer a loaded weapon, sir! What's the idea of looking down in the chamber? How many counts in that movement you just executed? You slimy piece of shit, that's no way to talk to your rifle! Now get on your face and give me 25! Sir! The private's weapon's name is the Bitch, sir! What's this weapon's name, Private Joker? Sir! The private's sixth general order is to receive and to obey - and to pass on to the sentry who relieves me - all orders from the CO, from the OD, from any and all other officers, and from NCOs of the guard!

Sir, the private believes any answer he gives will be wrong and the Senior Drill Instructor will only beat him harder if he reverses himself, SIR! Private Joker, are you trying to offend me? You Goddamn communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary, or I'm gonna stomp your guts out! Now you DO love the Virgin Mary, don't ya? Why you little maggot, you make me want to vomit! Well, well, Private Joker, I don't believe I heard you correctly! Private Joker, do you believe in the Virgin Mary? And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers.
