General Taylor : Woah, Dick, put the brakes on. I wanted to wait until airman left to talk with you. Dick, I'm transferring you.
Sgt. Major Dickerson : Transferring me? Where to sir?
General Taylor : You're going to Guam.
Sgt. Major Dickerson : Guam sir? There's nothing going on in Guam. Why Guam?
General Taylor : Dick, I've covered for you a lot of times cause I thought you were a little crazy. But you're not crazy, you're mean. And this is just radio.

Lt. Steven Hauk : Sir, the man has got an irreverent tendency. He did a very off-color parody of former VP Nixon.
General Taylor : I thought it was hilarious.
Lt. Steven Hauk : Respectfully, sir, the former VP is a good man and a decent man.
General Taylor : Bullshit! I know Nixon personally. He lugs a trainload of shit behind him that could fertilize the Sinai. Why, I wouldn't buy an apple from the son of a bitch and I consider him a good, close, personal friend.

General Taylor : Cronauer, I'm sorry as hell about this thing. Goddammit, I like you, son. I like what you do. Most of all, I like what you done for the men. But facts facts. This could give the Army a black eye. I'm not gonna cover for you this time, son.
Adrian Cronauer : Sir, what about the show?
General Taylor : We'll handle it.
