• General George S. Patton Jr. : [General Patton and General Gay are riding through the streets of a bombed out Germany]  I don't know, Hap... All I wanted to do was help rebuild Germany... All this bally-hoo about denazification...

  Gen. Hobart 'Hap' Gay : I know, but you were Ike's champion end-runner... When you didn't follow his directive, he took you out of the game... It's as simple as that.

• General George S. Patton Jr. : [General Patton is telling General Gay about his dog, Willie]  I got him from a pound in London, ugliest thing I've ever seen...
