Others

Japanese soldier: [trying to squeeze a large radio into the sub] We've got to figure out how to make these things smaller!
Loomis: [to Donna] It's big. The biggest one here. You know what else? It's got a lot of range. You know what I mean by range, don't you? I mean, it can stay up for a long time. A very long time. And it's built firm and solid. Because it has to be. Because of its tremendous forward thrust. And when this baby delivers its payload... devastating.
Joseph: This isn't the state of California, it's a state of insanity.
Hollis: You sneaky little bastards aren't getting doodly shit from me. Except maybe my name, rank, and Social Security number: Wood, Hollis P., Lumberjack, Social Security 106-43-2185.
[To Betty, before she leaves for the USO.]
Ward: I don't know what they've told you down at the USO, but you're going to be meeting a lot of strange men. Men in uniform. Boys a long way from home, lonely, desperate. They really have one thing on their minds. Show them a good time.
Frank: If there's one thing I can't stand seeing, it's Americans fighting Americans.
Maddox: To Hollywood... and glory!
[Looking at the Japanese sub through binoculars.]
Angelo: Hey, there's a Kraut on board too. We got the whole damn Axis here.

Dialogue

Maddox: That's it, let me hear your guns!
Bill: My guns?
Maddox: I wanna hear what they sound like, let me hear em! Yang yang yang yang yang yang!
Bill: [fires his airplane's guns] AHHHH!
Bill: Kid, you got to get that sub.
Wally: What sub?
Bill: The Jap sub.
Wally: Where?
Bill: The ocean, lame-o.
Sergeant Foley: Now, Sarge. What is the loading and firing procedure for the 75-millimeter cannon?
Frank: [delirious] There are five basic components...
Sergeant Foley: This is it, pay attention.
Frank: ...to the new General Electric refrigerator: 1. The freon compressor, 2. The freon tube...
[The last lines.]
Frank: You know, this year wasn't the big year of the war, '41. I think the really big year is going to be 1942.
Joseph: [sighs] It's going to be a long war.
