GUNNERY SERGEANT HARTMAN - Quote Vote!

^ all in about 10 minutes of film :)

"Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high."

I think I'm going with "Get the fuck off of my obstacle!"

I don't know why I find him so funny when he's quite obviously a fucked-up bullying cunt.

"I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around."

"I will definitely fuck you up!" ftw

You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

Would have voted for "Sir, what? Were you about to call me an ass hole?"

"I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around."

!!!!SIR!!!!YES!!!!SIR!!!

Shit I forgot that one. I was also going to stick the song in ("I don't know but I've been told, Eskimo pussy is mighty cold!") and I also forgot "This is my rifle, This is my gun, This is for fighting, This is for fun." - though that really needs the crotch grabbing visual :)

you forgot the best one!

I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world!

You got a war face? AAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! That's a war face, let me see your war face!

apparently Kubrick asked Ermey what a reacharound was.

i swear there's one like "do NOT get to the top of this obstacle, Pyle, that would BREAK MY FUCKING HEART"

in its absence, mary j rottencrotch ftw

Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high.

^^definitely

nice lack of consensus on this one!

my fave after reacharound is "children that lived"

soundboard

Oh, that's right, Private Pyle... don't make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle! If God wanted you up there, He would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't He?

You climb obstacles like old people fuck.

You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!

I am happy that "steers and queers" isn't on the list, tho.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [referring to Lee Harvey Oswald and mass murderer Charles Whitman] Do any of you people know where these individuals learned how to shoot?
[Private Joker raises his hand.]
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Joker?
Private Joker: Sir, in the Marines, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will all be able to do the same thing!

oh ya - "like old people fuck" is another great one!

my actual favorite part of this movie is when the colonel echoes hartman when addressing joker in the shit. all the young marines are amateurs at cussing and every senior NCO or company-grade appears to have been through USMC Cussing Professionalization Training

"choke yourself"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't he?

The first two that came to mind before I read the choices were "I didn't know they stacked shit..." and the reach-around quote. But there are so many great ones I had forgotten.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

"You climb like old ppl fuck" still shoulda contended.

my actual favorite part of this movie is when the colonel echoes hartman when addressing joker in the shit

and it helps that the colonel is the guy staying at Fawlty Towers who wanted the Waldorf salad.

A real tour de force performance, and its punchline is that Lee Ermey is on the board of the NRA.
