- Sgt. Kolowicz: Taggy.. How many times do I have to tell you? Tuck in the shirt.
- Taggy: Why does my shirt always bother you, Sarge?
- Sgt. Kolowicz: You look sloppy.
- Taggy: Nobody said I was sloppy in Bataan.
- Sgt. Kolowicz: Well, you ain't on Bataan.
- Taggy: Nobody said I was sloppy when I escaped from the Philippines.
- Sgt. Kolowicz: You ain't in the Philippines.
- Taggy: Nobody said I was sloppy in that open boat to Australia.
- Sgt. Kolowicz: You ain't in an open boat either!
- Taggy: Well, nobody minded how sloppy I looked when I enlisted in the American Army to keeping fight. I'm a Filipino!
- Sgt. Kolowicz: Yeah, just tuck your shirt in.
- Taggy: And I will wear my shirt out until all tyrants are dead. Death to the tyrant!
- Sgt. Kolowicz: [finally conceding] All right, all right...
