- "On your feet, maggot" and the "something wrong with your suit ... there's a dead guy in it" exchange are memorable because they are heard over and over.
- "Have I got something on my face, soldier?" is cited with its callback.
- The funniest moment is in General Brigham's office after getting the transponder, when Rita asks what now and the answer is "I don't know. We've never gotten this far."
- Griff's reply that he has never been with two girls at the same time but will make it work when that day comes is cited.
- Farell's "battle is the great redeemer" speech is iconic but ironically bad sergeant patter, from someone who loves the St. Crispin's Day speech.
- "Come find me when you wake up" and the other poster-style lines are called really good.
