Sergeant King: Look, sonny, how long have you been in the service?
Irving S. Blanchard: About six hours, I guess. But I had ROTC, though.
Sergeant King: I suppose they told you it was all efficiency and getting things done and standing at attention and running around. Well I've been in for eighteen years and it ain't like you think it is at all. It's a quiet, peaceful life, if you mind your own business. It's like there was a big lake, nice and calm.

Irving S. Blanchard: Well, I thought the captain would want to know if he had a troublemaker in the outfit.
Sergeant King: Look, sonny, I hate to pull rank on you but for your information you've got the smallest canoe in the whole darn lake. Good night, private
