Quotes 

• Nakamura : What are you really afraid of, Miss Webster? You don't think it would enter Major Gruver's mind to marry a Japanese girl?

  Eileen Webster : I don't know.

  Nakamura : Then permit me to reassure you. I think Major Gruver is brave, but, uh, not so brave enough to face the censure that would result from such a marriage. As for our famous, honored Hana-ogi, there are many Japanese - most of them, in fact - who look upon marriage to an Occidental with as much distaste as your people do to one of us.

  Nakamura : [continues]  I do not feel that way, but then I have had the privilege of traveling in your country and knowing some great people there. And I am especially conscious at this moment that beauty is not confined to any one race.

• Eileen Webster : No woman wants to live anywhere except body and soul with the man she loves.

• Eileen Webster : l'm sorry. l guess l've been thinking too much.

  Major Gruver : Yeah, l think you have been thinking too much.

• Major Gruver : That dress, l think it's terrible. lt just goes in and out and - that's awful.

  Eileen Webster : lt's meant to go in and out. l go in and out.

  Major Gruver : Well, we'll talk about that later.

• Eileen Webster : Oh, Lloyd, it's me you've got to love. Oh, Lloyd, haven't you ever felt like - like - like grabbing me and - and hauling me off to a shack somewhere?

• Eileen Webster : Hi, Lloyd.

  Major Gruver : You devil. Come here.

• Eileen Webster : He's a male actress. lt says here they've been trained since childhood to have the grace of a woman, and yet the power of a man.

  Major Gruver : Oh, my word.

• Eileen Webster : You do a lot of wondering in Tulsa.

• Eileen Webster : Lloyd, they'll do anything to hang something on you - to keep you in line. After all, you're the Air Force's pinup boy, you know.

• Eileen Webster : I better go before I lose all my charm.

• Nakamura : Do not turn away, Miss Webster. l am not - necessarily making love to you. l am only stating a very - obvious fact. May l see you again, Miss Webster -and acquaint you with more Japan?

  Eileen Webster : Of course. l need to know more, much more - about everything.
