[after Jordan demands that he remove the dual standard]

One standard.

Just treat me the same. No better, no worse.

You're gonna get everything you want, O'Neil. I just wonder if you want what you're gonna get.

Hoo-yah, sir.

How am I supposed to fit in with these guys when you've got me setup as an outsider? You've given me a different set of rules. The answer is, I can't. I mean really, why didn't you just issue me a pink petticoat to wear around the base?

Sergeant Cortes, however brief your stint with this command might be, there are two words you will learn to put together: Team-Mate.

[on why she started Lt. O'Neil on the SEAL program in the first place]

Truthfully, I never expected you to do so damn well! I figured you'd ring out in two weeks, bing bang it's over, and we're popular. In Washington, you don't even need the Ten Commandments when you're popular!

Don't you even think of playing politics with me, little darlin', you'll be up way past your bedtime.

And don't YOU think that I'll sit idly by while anyone smears my good name. Now you get those charges VOIDED, Senator. And you do it today!

[tauntingly]

Or what?

You like pissed off? Watch this.
[storms out]

You were given the Navy Cross right? May I ask what you got it for?

Since it bears on this conversation, I got it for pulling a 250-pound man out of a burning tank.

So stopping to save a man makes you a hero, but if a man stops to help a woman, he's gone soft?

Could you have pulled that man clear? Lieutenant, you couldn't even haul your own body weight out of the water today.

I think you've resented me from the start, sir.

What I resent, Lieutenant, is some politician using my base as a test tube for her grand social experiment. What I resent, is the sensitivity training that is now mandatory for all of my men. The ob-gyn I now have to keep on staff just to keep track of your personal pap smears. But most of all what I resent, is your perfume, however subtle, interfering with the scent of my fine three-dollar-and-seventy-nine-cent cigar, which I will put out this instant if the phallic nature of it happens to offend your GODDAMN FRAGILE SENSIBILITIES! Does it?

No, sir.

"No, sir" WHAT?

The shape doesn't bother me. Just the goddamn sweet stench.
