A line from Capt. T.C. Doyle (upset, on the boat)I should be on a top secret mission with crack commandos but instead, I'm in an episode of McHale's Navy starring Dumbo, Mr. French, and the Three Stooges!

Scenes with Capt. T.C. Doyle
3 scenes Doyle (the group has stopped on the bridge after the truck quits, Poole starts walking in the opposite direction)
Poole, where are you going?
Doyle Get back here!
Cahill Poole, do you want me to call General Richardson?
(turns around)
Yeah, Cahill! Yeah, I do! Call General Richardson!I'll get him on the phone for you right now! Because I am sick and tired... (tries to get the radio set open and just drops it, fuming) That's it! I've had it! I was on a plane that almost crashed, I came this close to being killed by an angry mob, and now look at my uniform! It's covered in elephant crap! So you really think I give a damn whether or not you call General Richardson, and tell him I slept with his wife, huh?
Doyle' (stops working on the truck, turns around, almost laughing)
You slept with the wife of General "Kill-'em-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out" Richardson?
I thought it was his daughter.
Doyle Oh yeah, he would've been fine with that.
Y B'ham (about Linh)
Boy have no family. All killed.
Doyle You mean in the war?
Y B'ham (sarcastically)
No, hit by falling star... Yes, in war.
Cahill What if the NVA isn't the first to come along here? What if it's a bunch of school children walking home? Did you ever think about that? No! Why? Because guys like you don't think things through! (slaps Doyle in the forehead)
Doyle Me? What about you? You've got six people and an elephant risking their lives so that you can go home with a clear conscience. You're afraid that when you're standing up on that rooftop with your brother in Fort Lauderdale, looking back over your sparkling military career, you're not gonna like what you see! So you want to do one good thing before you go, which is great! But your one good thing isn't pulling a kid out of a burning building, or diving on a grenade, it's this! And because it's this, it involves us! But you didn't think about that, did you? No! Why? Because guys like you don't think things through!
