For real?

I must be losing my mind.

[CCass]

Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any [censored] effort to get to the top of the [censored] obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't he?

The steers and queers line was in both movies. Apparently part of basic training for drill instructors everywhere.

[Boris]

Well there must be a reason for the stereotype.

HONORABLE MENTION: None of you dumbasses knows. (the contempt in his voice puts this one on the list.)

10. Private Joker, are you trying to OFFEND me?

9. Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel faint?

8. What is that? What the fcuk is that? WHAT IS THAT Pvt Pyle???

7. And the way I see it, ladies, YOU owe ME for ONE jelly DOUGHNUT.


(7-10 illustrate Ermey "singing" his dialogue. The guy who played Col Klink in "Auto Focus" said, "You know, Klemporer basically SANG that role." I feel the same way about Ermey here.)


6. I'm asking the fukcing questions around here! (I love to use this one when somebody answers my question with a question.)

5. Sir what? Were you about to call me an azzhole?


TIE FOR 3: Did your parents have any children that lived? Well I bet they regret that!

TIE FOR 3: You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!

(Because they're delivered back-to-back, you can't separate them. It's a draw.)


2. Private Pyle, you had best square your azz away and start sihtting me Tiffany cuff links, or I will definitely fcuk you up!


And the Number One line from FMJ:


1. Disappear, scumbag!
