Steve McQueen Quotes:
Chris: One thing I don't need is somebody telling me my problem.
Vin: Like I said before, that's your problem. You got involved in this village and the people in it.
Chris: Do you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk?
Vin: The reason I understand your problem so well is that I walked in the same trap myself. Yeah. First day we got here, I started thinking: Maybe I could put my gun away, settle down, get a little land, raise some cattle. Things that these people know about me be to my credit - wouldn't work against me. I just didn't want you to think you were the only sucker in town.
Jake Holman: I was home. What happened? What the hell happened?
Lt. Fergie Howard: Beau'll join you as soon as he gets into his civvies.
Lt. Beau Gilliam: My civvies?
Lt. Fergie Howard: You brought 'em, didn't ya?
Lt. Beau Gilliam: Yeah. But I won't wear 'em, Fergie.
Lt. Fergie Howard: I beg your pardon?
Lt. Beau Gilliam: Well you saw the duty board this morning. We were specifically ordered to wear whites. Any officer caught ashore in his civvies is gonna have his tail in a sling. And the order was signed by Admiral Fitch himself.
Lt. Fergie Howard: Old Foghorn.
Jason Eldridge: Fergie, we agreed not to break any regulations we didn't have to.
Lt. Fergie Howard: Uh huh. But we have to. We can't get into the casino in Navy uniforms. It's off limits.
Lt. Beau Gilliam: Off limits? And in civvies too? I'll be breaking two regulations at once!
Lt. Fergie Howard: That's right, it's sort of a package deal. Now get in there and get out of that uniform and that's an order, Lieutenant *junior* grade Gilliam!
