- First Sgt. Mike Merry: He should get out of this, after all, he's an educated man who'd look forward to better things. I mean he's not at all like Chip and I, you know, we're used to constant fighting and hardships. And it's beginning to tell a little bit on old Larry, don't you think so?
- Amelia Parent: Oh Mike, I'm so glad to hear you say that, and you're so right. Isn't he, Larry?
- [Larry looks at Amelia silently]
- Amelia Parent: Well dear, isn't he?
- First Sgt. Mike Merry: He's probably thinking about the cozy little home you're going to have: fireplace, maybe a little kitty cat on the rug.
- Sgt. Chip Deal: Slippers.
- [Larry crosses his arms]
- First Sgt. Mike Merry: And a smoking jacket. Peace and solid comfort, right?
- Sgt. Chip Deal: Mortgage.
- First Sgt. Mike Merry: Oh, don't pay him any mind, he's just jesting.
- Amelia Parent: You know Larry, it's a wonderful thing, having understanding friends like this.
- Sgt. Chip Deal: Did you bring any food? any water?
- First Sgt. Mike Merry: No
- Sgt. Chip Deal: Any liqueur? You ain't much good are ya?
