Dialogue

Colonel Hackett: How about you, Mr. Jevries?

Jevries: I've been in my quarters all evening.

Colonel Hackett: Alone I suppose? No visitors?

Jevries: Alone... I was reading.

Colonel Hackett: Where were you, Doctor? Alone too, I suppose?

Dr. Brooks: That's right. Alone and reading.

Colonel Hackett': [Exasperated] Wasn't anyone doing anything we can check up on?

Dr. Brooks: [Turning the tables] What were YOU doing?

Colonel Hackett: [Sheepishly] I was alone and reading too.

Dr. Brooks: Then don't pick on us.

Colonel Hackett: All right, all right.

Private of the Guard: So, you almost got liquidated, hanh?

Sally: What's that mean... 'liquidated?'

Eddie Pratt: I don't know. I never had any.

Sally: That might mean 'vaccinated.'

Private of the Guard: [Sarcastically] Yeah, practically the same thing.
