- Cherry White: Who's that?
- K.C. Koloski: The Ambassador at large, here to see how we're winning the war.
- Cherry White: Are we?
- K.C. Koloski: Would you believe what I told you?
- Cherry White: Maybe.
- K.C. Koloski: Would you believe what they told you?
- Cherry White: Maybe not.
- K.C. Koloski: [Chuckles] That's a start.
- [On her knees to pick something up, Cherry looks up to find Dodger towering over her]
- Cherry White: Hi. We're locked out. What is it?
- Soldier: The Lock seems to be malfunctioning.
- [Dodger levels his M-60 at the door and cocks it, about to fire]
- Pvt. Elroy: Dodger! Civilization baby. You can't just blow the door away.
- [after a moment Dodger takes the butt of his M-60 and smashes the door open instead]
- K.C. Kolowski: Tomorrow this room will be all yours. Cards, Monopoly, ping-pong, just like what the boys want.
- Cherry White: What games do they like to play the most?
- K.C. Kolowski: Not in here.
- Cherry White: Well, where then?
- K.C. Kolowski: Try looking in a mirror.
- Cherry White: Why?
- K.C. Kolowski: Are you for real?
- Laurette Barber: Hey, how's it going?
- [McMurphy continues walking and ignoring Laurette]
- Laurette Barber: You don't like me, do you?
- Colleen McMurphy: I don't know you.
- Laurette Barber: And you don't want to.
- Colleen McMurphy: I didn't say that.
- Laurette Barber: You didn't have to.
- Colleen McMurphy: Okay... no. I don't want to know you.
- Laurette Barber: Why? Boy, you've sure got the water-tight doors shut down.
- Colleen McMurphy: It comes with the territory.
- Laurette Barber: You mean this isn't Club Med?
- Colleen McMurphy: I hate to tell you, but this is the in-country, China Beach, Vietnam.
- Laurette Barber: I only came for the week to sing some songs, and meet some men. Have some adventures. Why did you come?
- Cherry White: I went to work today and it wasn't what I expected. There were some nice boys and some sad boys. There was one who was so filthy and made me so uncomfortable. He made me feel like I couldn't help.
- K.C. Kolowski: Why did you come here... to Vietnam in the first place?
- Cherry White: To do that, to help the boys.
- K.C. Kolowski: Help the boys?
- Cherry White: My brother Rick came here last year and he wasn't like that. Not him.
- K.C. Kolowski: You're just an American Red Cross donnut dolly. You make it worse with your little outfit. You're a tease and that's all they can't have. I know what they want and I give it to them. Well, I don't exactly "give it" to them.
- Cherry White: [thrown off guard] You what?
- K.C. Kolowski: Duty honor country. I know all about honor. I charge $100 an hour for my services. I take Visa, Mastercharge, checks, cash, American Express, even Wells Fargo bank transfers.
- Cherry White: I don't believe you.
- K.C. Kolowski: When they're away from home... away from their girlfriends or wives, I put my services to work. How about some stocks? Jade? I sell what I can sell. I got a heart of gold. It's not even 14 to 24 carrots.
- Cherry White: You sell your body for money? That's disgusting.
- K.C. Kolowski: Yeah? What do you give them? Some nice chit-chat? Then you send them back out there to be shot at or shafted? Or maybe begin a life-long relationship with a green piece of plastic that sips? Take off those invisible white gloves. Open you naive eyes. We all do the same thing. Except I am a former real service.
- Pvt. Samuel Beckett: You guys don't care about color. do you? Black, white, brown... don't make no difference does it? Yeah, the Old, Grim old Reaper. The first equal opportunity employer.
