Quotes 

• Major Margaret Fiefield : These are the reports from the various departments in which you've worked. I wanted you to hear them.

  Jeannie : Yes, ma'am.

  Major Margaret Fiefield : From the hospital, we have this comment: "Dangerous. Approach with extreme caution." From the dental lab: "Strongly urge that Recruit Nelson be declared a disaster area." Sergeant Morgan, the driving instructor, writes: "A terrifying experience. Administration says should be ideal for demolition work." Now today, I believe we worked in communications. However, I haven't heard anything from them. So far.

  Jeannie : I think you will get a phone call as soon as the power lines are working again.

• Major Margaret Fiefield : [Jeannie reports for her aptitude test results]  The average girl usually shows ability in several different fields. But we've given you five separate tests and the answer's always the same. It seems there's only one thing you're qualified to do.

  Jeannie : What is that?

  Major Margaret Fiefield : Nothing.

• Major Margaret Fiefield : [reading Jeannie's test results]  Two hundred and fifty words a minute! No one can type that fast.

  Jeannie : Oh, that was not typing. That was dictation.

  Major Margaret Fiefield : Oh.

  [looks again at Jeannie's test results] 

  Major Margaret Fiefield : Two hundred and fifty words a minute... in longhand?

  Jeannie : It is easier to read that way. I got a score of four hundred words in typing.

  Major Margaret Fiefield : Unbelievable.

  Jeannie : I told you I would make a good secretary.
