Adrian Cronauer: Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.!
Adrian Cronauer: [On air] The US Army has found out why so many young black soldiers are dying in Vietnam. When officers warn them of enemy fire by shouting "Get Down", they start dancing.
Adrian Cronauer: It's oh 6 hundred. What's oh stand for? Oh my God it's early.
Adrian Cronauer: Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT because if it leaks to the VC we could end up in MIA and then we'd be all put on KP?
Adrian Cronauer: Unbelievable. Five months in Saigon and my best friend turns out to be a VC. This will not look good on a resume!
Sean: Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.
Sean: You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world where you're afraid to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing 10 miles down the road.
Sean: You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.
Sean: You'll have bad times, but it'll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to.
Sean: Nail them while they're vulnerable, that's my motto.
Sean: I just have a little question here. You could be a janitor anywhere. Why did work at the most prestigious technical college in the whole fuckin' world? And why did you sneak around at night and finish other people's formulas that only one or two people in the world could do and then lie about it? 'Cause I don't see a lot of honor in that, Will.
Sean: You have a bullshit answer for everything.
Sean: See you Monday. We'll be talking about Freud and why he did enough cocaine to kill a small horse.
Sean: I knew you before you were a mathematical god, when you were pimple-faced and homesick and didn't know what side of the bed to piss on!
Lambeau: Yeah, you were smarter than me then and you're smarter than me now. So don't blame me for how your life turned out. It's not my fault.
Sean: Do you have a soul mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Somebody who challenges you.
Will: I got... I got plenty.
Sean: Well, name them.
Will: Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Kant, Pope, Locke.
Sean: Well that's great. They're all dead.
Will: Not to me, they're not.
Sean: You don't have a lot of dialogue with them. You can't give back to them, Will.
Will: Not without some serious smelling salts and a heater.
