Quotes

• Bill: There you go, Captain. Just the way you like it.

Captain: Oh, you're done?

Bill: Yeah, I cut it quick because I really know your head. And I don't know what you'd do if I was ever out on manoeuvres or became a POW.

Captain: I guess I'd go to him. Or him. Or him.

Bill: We're getting worried over nothing.

• Bill: If I never went back to work, I don't think anyone would notice.

Dale: Sure they would, Bill. When there's suddenly enough food to go around. The point I'm trying to make is you're fat.

• Hank: Well, I know we were hoping he'd chose something a little less... god-awful, but it seems to be keeping him out of the morgue.

• Hank: Huh, so, uh, I noticed a lot of those chorus guys had wives.

• Hank: Look. You seem like a nice guy, so I'll tell you this for your own good. Judging by the two times I've met you, your life has been a waste so far. Forget these chorus guys and find a nice girl or at least something productive to do, like a stamp collection. Your local postmaster can help you. Here's his number.

• Kris: Did I just hear what I think I heard?

Bill: Probably. You're never wrong.

• Hank: Okay, Dale, help him.

Dale: Wait, is this a trick?

Hank: Nope. Let 'er rip. Just keep it clean.

Dale: Bill! Bill, you have to be the stupidest man on the planet to think this is a good idea! Have you seen what you're wearing? That outfit makes you look like a sequined train wreck! Look at you! You're part of a 12-headed jackass! This chorus is the faeces that is produced when shame eats too much stupidity! You people make me envy the deaf and the blind! Underwear! Money! Fat!

• Bill: But I belong to something great here. I even got a nickname - William.

• Hank: Remember you asked if anyone would notice if you didn't go to work? Well, the Army sure noticed. If you don't get back to cut the general's hair, you're AWOL. The Army is going to lock you up for 30 years. You know how much that's going to cost them? Hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'd say that's taking notice.

Bill: But the Harmonaholics are my friends.

Hank: Are they really? All they've asked from you is to give, give, give. Well, friendship is a two-way street. Heck, you know we gave up Monday Night Football tickets to come get you? That's a friend. Not these guys.
