Sgt. Tom McArthur: What did you say?

Pvt. Pat Cleary: I said they should've made you a captain, sargeant.

(when Marty says he was a student) A bit old to be in short pants, Barrington? What happened? They kept you back a couple of grades?

You're a Pommie, Harris.

Pvt. Bill Harris: English, Sargeant.

Sgt. Tom McArthur: I've been watching you, Harris. You look like you've been in the Army before.

Pvt. Bill Harris: I was in the Boy Scouts, wouldn't it?

Sgt. Tom McArthur: Is that so?

I should give this back (the Military Medal). You blokes know what really happened.
