• Gen. Denton : Major Reisman is heading toward a court martial of his own. He's the most ill-mannered, ill-disciplined officer that it's ever been my displeasure to meet.

  Maj. Gen. Worden : You think so, Denton? You may be right. But he's sure right about one thing. Somebody up there must be a raving lunatic.

• Gen. Denton : I take it you don't deny your responsibility for the fact that on the night of April 14/15, a military establishment of the United States Army was the scene of a drunken party! At which no less than seven female civilians took an active part!

  Major John Reisman : [deadpan]  Oh yes, sir, they took an active part.

  [Gen. Worden muffles a laugh] 

• Gen. Denton : Project Amnesty: You will select 12 general prisoners convicted and sentenced to death or long-terms of imprisonment for murder, rape, robbery, and/or other crimes of violence and so for. Train and qualify these prisoners in as much as the business of behind-the-lines operations, as they can absorb in a brief but unspecified time. You will then deliver them secretly into European mainland and just prior to the invasion attack and destroy the target specified: Overleaf.

  Major John Reisman : That's all?

  Gen. Denton : That's all.

• Gen. Denton : I take it you don't deny your responsibility for the fact that on the night of April 14-15, a military establishment of the U.S. Army was the scene of a drunken party - at which no less than seven female civilians took an active part.

  Major John Reisman : Oh, yes, sir, they took an active part all right.
