- Major Whitaker: You get the hell out of here or I'll...
- Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: [interrupting him] You'll what? You'll hit me? That's you're answer for everythintg? Well, that's fine. I'll tell you what we'll do: let's go down to the gym here; we'll put the gloves on, you feel like you got the hit something, you go ahead and hit me. But be advised: I'm not thirteen and I hit back.
