Jim Gordon:
[after Woody joins a sortie against Jim's orders, in a fighter without ammo or a radio, and gets himself shot down]
Where do you think you are, with some broken-down flying circus? Woody Jason:
Aw, it would've been a cinch; I was ridin' the murder-spot right above those Jap bombers! If I had ammo, I'd have blown them clear out of China! Jim Gordon:

It's like I told you earlier, Pappy: All I get out of this is the dough, so you can't blame me for trying. In a skeet match, the guy who knocks down the most pigeons wins the cup. Jim Gordon:
...I also can't have grand-standers trying to hog the whole show! Results around here are based on co-operation and understanding. Discipline in the air is strict, because that's the only way an outfit like this can operate! Woody Jason:
...And here I thought it was every man for himself. Jim Gordon:
Not these days, it isn't. Just wait until the day you look over your shoulder and see a Jap sittin' on your tail, in a ship that you can't out-maneuver! THEN you'll know what I'm talking about
