Sir, you don't have any bombers here, do you, sir?

Bombers? Son, if I had bombers I'd be bombin the hell out of them right now!
Donna Stratton: [looking around; whispers to herself]
No planes?
Capt. Loomis Birkhead: [to himself]
Boy, am I in trouble now...
Col. "Madman" Maddox: [signals for the laughing to stop]
Hell, son, the only plane I've got around here is that old shit on a shingle trainer sittin right over there.
Donna Stratton: [nodding]

Capt. Loomis Birkhead: [kneeling down as he spots Donna from a distance]
Is that the general's new secretary?
Pvt. DuBois:
Yeah, she just came in from HQ. Not bad, huh?
Capt. Loomis Birkhead:
Not bad? She's a goddess, DuBois, a goddamn goddess! That is Donna Stratton! I knew her back in Washington. She has got this thing for planes.
Pvt. DuBois:
One of those real high flying types, huh?
Capt. Loomis Birkhead:
I've never seen anything like it... she's got planes on the brain!
Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell: [annoyed]
Where's Birkhead? He's supposed to have my lunch.
Donna Stratton: [whistling, dreamy]
B-17. Mmm...
Capt. Loomis Birkhead:
No man has ever gotten to first base with her on the ground. But get her up in a plane, she'll bat your balls right out of the park.

1941 - The Power and Range of Capability
Capt. Loomis Birkhead: [to Donna]
It's big. The biggest one here. You know what else? It's got a lot of range. You know what I mean by range, don't you? I mean, it can stay up for a long time. A very long time. And it's built firm and solid. Because it has to be. Because of its tremendous forward thrust. And when this baby delivers its payload... devastating.

Annabelle, is that her name? Oh god, I didn't know that. All I know is what you did with her, on our sofa.
