Operation Petticoat

"I don't want to bore you with the problems of command, Mr. Holden, because I doubt you'll ever have one. It's inconsistent with that philosophy of yours - every man for himself."

Sherman: "Where is Lt. Holden?"
Watson: "When the air raid started they took off. All he said was 'in confusion there is profit'."

"When I was a kid, I was the victim of the most vicious propaganda. People told me that money wasn't everything and I believed it. Then I found out that the people that were telling me that money wasn't everything were the people who had a lot of money. Now there are two ways you can get money. You can steal it, or you can marry it."

Serman: "Sir, Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than 'commissioned 1940, sunk 1941, engagements none, shots fired none.' Now, you can't let it go that way. That's like a beautiful woman dying an old maid, if you know what I mean by old maid."
Henderson: "Did you ever sell used cars?"
Sherman: "No, Sir."
Henderson: "I've got a hunch you missed your calling."

"When a girl is under 21, she's protected by law. When she's over 65, she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between, she's fair game. Look out."
