General Decker At ease, Payne. Relax. Do you know why you're here?
Sir, no, sir.
General Decker The promotion board report came out last week. This is the new Lt. Col. list, your name's not on it. You get two chances to advance, then we have to show you the hatch. Basic man is cutting you discharge orders right now
General, are you telling me that in this man's military is there no room for trained weapon of destruction?
General Decker Fighting is no longer being done out on the battlefields. Now all the blood is shed in the halls of Congress, boys like us are becoming dinosaurs.
There's got to be somebody who needs some killing.
General Decker I'm sorry, Major. There's nobody left. You've killed them all.

Alex Stepson!
Whoever he is, he's on my time now.
[Alex's stepdad, clearly in a drunken stupor, takes several attempted swings at Major Payne, who easily dodges them and knocks him down to the ground.]
Now, Im'ma ask you nicely: please, return to your vehicle. You go on now.
[Alex's stepdad leaves in humiliation. Major Payne turns to Alex, now having a newfound respect for him.]
Go on back to your bunk, son.

I see what we have here is a failure to communicate. Do not attempt to valid my authority! I have 8 weeks to turn you gaggling maggots into a well-discipline unit.

Know this, killing is my business, ladies, and business is good!

General Decker Listen, I've made some calls and I have an assignment for you. It's not great, you understand, but it gets you back in the military.
[Payne smiles at the thought of being back in the military unaware that the assignment Decker is taking about will take him to Madison school.]

Gonna have to change my name to Pimp-Daddy Payne! A-hee hee hee!

[the entire Madison Squad is collected after their brawl with Wellington and former Madison cadet, Dotson, whom Williams knock out cold as retribution to injuring Alex.]

Col. Braggart Lieutenant, I can only disqualify the cadet who started the disturbance.
Lt. Col. at the Games
That's not enough. Look at them, these animals are so pathetic that even their own commander didn't even show up.
Col. Braggart [Stone and Williams look at Major Payne. Emily walks out of the Madison tent as he walks over to the stand to be with the Madison Cadets]
Major Payne, what are you doing here? I was told you were away on an important assignment.
What could be more important than having my boys winning this here competition? I suggest we get this party started. Is that OK with you Col.?

[Introducing the squad to their new barracks]
A squad that lives together, wins together! "Unity", turds; that is the key word in "unit", without the "Y"!
