- Dori Lawrence: I'm the only one who's allowed to say that you suck, but so do I. And I think that is kind of cool that we're both sucky people
- SDI Skeer: Is your girlfriend a debutante?
- Mark Deloach: Sir...
- SDI Skeer: I said "Is your girlfriend a debutante?"
- Mark Deloach: Sir, this recruit just doesn't know, sir.
- SDI Skeer: Are you a Goddamn virgin?
- Mark Deloach: Sir, yes, sir!
- Drill Instructor #3: You got to be fucking shitting me.
- SDI Skeer: MOUNTAIN CLIMB!
- Mark Deloach: About the music that trembles in your body. And how you're shy to be so pretty. When you're broken and real and your own hands don't know it. There's a song going hungry for words. And that's too much to say, for a guy who splashed you with water, gave you some tea and bought you a book.
- Dori Lawrence: I know you need me, and I need my Duke. I'm better than I was, but I'm not the Statue of Liberty. Do you care if I'm still sort of a sucky girl? Because I don't care. And I don't care how many scars you have, if you let me I will purify them. If you love me, we will make a beautiful kingdom out of our suckiness and misery and wounds. This is my heart.
