Quotes - P Danny: I think World War II just started Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer. Evelyn: Do you ever wonder if this war's going to catch up with us? Rafe: Not anxious to die sir, just anxious to matter. Admiral Yamamoto: A brilliant man will find a way not to fight a war. Rafe: Returning from the dead wasn't all that I expected...but that's life. Danny:
You're a rotten drunk... always have been. Admiral Kimmel: [reading signal] "U.S. Navy believes attack on Pearl Harbor imminent." Well... they're only an hour late. President Franklin D. Roosevelt: I like sub commanders. They have no time for bullshit, and neither do I. Lt.
Col. Jimmy Doolittle: Do you know what Top Secret means? Evelyn: I'm giving my heart to Danny. But I'll never look at another sunset without thinking of you. Rafe:
You are so beautiful it hurts. Rafe:
Danny, you can't die. You can't die. You know why? 'Cause you're gonna be a father.
You're gonna be a daddy. I wasn't supposed to tell you. You're gonna be a father.
Rafe:
Dolittle assigned me. He wanted me to get some... some real combat training. President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy. The United States Of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by Naval and Air Forces of the Empire of Japan. It is obvious that planning the attack began many weeks ago, during the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American military forces, I regret to tell you that over three thousand American lives have been lost. No matter how long it may take us to over come this pre-meditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory! Because of the unprovoked, dastardly attack by Japan, I ask that the congress declare a state of War! Lt.
Col. Jimmy Doolittle: Where'd you find religion? President Franklin D. Roosevelt: [After struggling out of his wheelchair and standing upright] Do not tell me it can't be done! Evelyn: You died Rafe. So did I. Danny:
(dying) Rafe, can you do me a favor? Gooz:
I got a girlfriend. Sailor: I didn't even know the Japs were sore at us. Rafe: She loves me. Earl:
hey, you know you're not supposed to be painting titties on the side of my airplanes,
and if you do, don't make 'em lop-sided! Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: That's bull-shit MacCawley!... but it's very, very good bull-shit! Billy: Man, you're one good-lookin' son-of-a-bitch!... Don't you ever die! Commander Tubbs: Some people frown on the Yanks for not being in this war. I'd just like to say that if there are any more back home like you, God help anyone who goes to war with America. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: Victory belongs to those who believe in it the most and believe in it the longest. We're gonna believe. We're gonna make America believe too. Major
Jackson: Most officers would have thrown you in the brig. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: You know at Pearl they hit us with a sledgehammer. This raid, even if it makes it through, it'll only be a pinprick... but it'll be straight through their hearts. Gooz: How do you know they're submerged if they're submerged? Danny:
Y'all pilots? Young
Rafe: Land of the free. Cole Walker: I fought the Germans in France, and I fought 'em in the trenches. And I pray to God that nobody has to see what I saw. Evelyn:
Oh, but it's such a long story. Nurse Martha: This is Ward Three, and as you can see, no patients. Welcome to Hawaii. Gooz: Oh, that ain't no Navy issued uniform, there. Captain
Connor: You ever lose a fight, Miller? Danny:
How can I not feel this way? I kinda' like it. Gooz:
Be careful with the lady folk... they cloud the mind. Evelyn: If I had one more night to live... I'd wanna spend it with you. Evelyn: Every night I watch the sunset and soak up every last ray of its warmth, and send it from my heart to yours. Danny:
You know, the only thing that scares me is that you might love him more than you
love me. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: Boys, there's a phrase I want you to memorize, "Lushu hoo Megwa Fugi.", it means "I am an American." in Chinese. [While
Evelyn is fixing up a cut on Doris Miller's head.] Danny: Why the hell is the US Navy practicing this early on a Sunday morning? President Franklin D. Roosevelt: How long is America going to pretend, that the world is not at war? From Berlin, Rome and Tokyo, were have been described as a nation of weaklings and playboys who hire British or Russian, or Chinese soldiers, to do our fighting for us. We've been trained to think we're invincible, and our people think Hitler and his Nazi thugs are Europe's problem. We have to do more. Does anyone think that victory is possible without facing danger? At times like these we all need to be reminded who we truely are. That we will not give up. That we will not give in. Evelyn:
You're acting like I didn't love you! Lt.
Col. Jimmy Doolittle: I heard what you did. Rafe:
Miss, I really, really lick you [Later
after Col Doolittle explains the mission] Rafe: I've got some genuine French champagne. From France! Admiral Kimmel: The smart enemy attacks you exactly where you think you are safe. General: Mr. President, with all due respect, sir... what you're asking can't be done. Nurse Martha: I joined the army to do MY patriotic duty... AND... to meet guys. Lt.
Col. Jimmy Doolittle: Secretary of the Navy gave me these. | ||||
