A scene from Good Morning, Vietnam 1987
Hauk

Okay, who do we have slated for live entertainment in November?

Phil

Well, we originally wanted Bob Hope, but it turns out he won't come.

Hauk

Why not?

Garlick

He doesn't play police actions, just wars. Bob likes a big room, sir.

Hauk

[The group laughs]

That is not funny!

Abersold

How about if it escalated?

Hauk

How about if what escalated?

Abersold

The Vietnam conflict

Hauk

The Vietnam conflict. We are not going to escalate a whole war just so we can book a big name comedian!
