I’ve recently bought the DVD of “Full Metal Jacket” by Stanley Kubrick. I already had the VHS tape, but hey, I had to go digital. You know, that movie isn’t really meant to be a comedy, but I’ll be damned if parts of it aren’t funny as hell. The quotes from this movie are second to none. For your viewing pleasure, here are some of the best:
From the Drill Seargent:
“Did your parents have any children that lived!?”
“What is your major malfunction!?”
“What is this Mickey Mouse shit!!?”
“You ARE dumb Pile, but do you expect me to believe that you don’t know
right from left?…. Then you did that on purpose!! You want to be
different!!!”
“You climb obstacles like old people fuck, do you know that Pile!!!?”
“Private Pile, whatever you do, don’t fall down, that would break my fucking heart!!”
“Are you quitting on me!!? Are you!!?… Then QUIT you slimy fucking walrus looking piece of shit!!!!”
“That’s right private Pile. Don’t make any effort to get to the top of
the fucking obstacle. If God wanted you up there he would have miracled
your ass up there!!”
From the Vietnam parts:
MG Gunner: “Anyone who runs is a VC! Anyone who stands still is a well disciplined VC!!!”
Joker: “How can you shoot women and children?”
MG Gunner [laughing]: “Easy, you just don’t lead ’em so much! Ain’t war hell!!”
8 Ball: “It’s like they took our freedom and gave it to the gookers…. only they don’t want it. They’d rather be alive than free I guess, poor dumb bastards.”
Cowboy: “Be glad to trade you some ARVN rifles. Ain’t never been fired and only dropped once.”
