Quotes from
Sgt. Banning:
Well, sir, I used to be a pretty slow "walker" myself. I mean, you really had to build a fire under my tail to get me to move. And then one day, General Hewett came to talk to us. And he built one hell of a fire. Only he didn't build it under my tail - he built a fire inside of me.
Col. Jim Caldwell: Sergeant, if I'm reading you right, you think I've been building the wrong kind of fires around here.
Sgt. Banning: Sir, that's really not for me to judge.
Col. Jim Caldwell: You could have contacted me last night before you sent that plane up.
Col. Hollis Farr: Yes, I could have, couldn't it?
Col. Jim Caldwell: How did you like it out there on that "limb"?
Col. Hollis Farr: Gets uh... kind of breezy, doesn't it?
Col. Jim Caldwell: It sure does. And you stay with it, pal. You might even get to like it after a while.
Col. Hollis Farr: [Singing "The SAC Song" by Tom Lehrer] Here at SAC we're filled with pride There's just one thing we can't decide Which we'd rather be clobbered by-- An enemy attack or ORI! Our wing commander's got a racket, But sometimes it's hard to hack it, Whenever he gets his wife alone, Ding-a-ling-aling goes the little red phone! Oh we start a seven day alert, For a week we will not see a skirt, But we know it's part of SAC's main goal, To test our positive control! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Whatever became of the Wild Blue Yonder? How we wish the good old days were back-- at SAC!
