Highway: Well, you'll be a civilian soon. Be able to grow your hair long, sleep late and become an asshole rock and roll star.
Jones: Sergeant-major Choozoo gave me some re-up papers.
Highway: And you signed them?
Jones: Tell you the truth, Gunny, I'm a better marine than I ever was a singer.
Highway: You're also a lot dumber than I thought you were too.
Jones: What about you?
Highway: Naah, I've had it. No room in this man's Corps for me now. Besides, they've got you.

Wonka: How did you like my chocolate factory, Charlie?
Charlie: I think it's the best place in the whole wide world!
Wonka: I am so glad you can say it! Because I am giving it to you! If you would mind, Wouldn't you?
Grandpa Joe: WHAT?!? YOU'RE GIVING THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY TO CHARLIE?!?
Wonka: I can't go on forever! And I really don't want to try. So, Who can I trust somebody to run the factory when I leave? Not a grown up!

Big Bird: (whines) But he's gotta comeback. I mean, Who's gonna take care of the store? And who's gonna feed my birdseed milkshakes, and tell me stories?
David: Big Bird, I am gonna take care of the store! Mr. Hooper, He left it to me. I will feed you your birdseed milk shakes. And we will all tell you stories, and see that you are okay!
