- Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: Marine survival training, Okinawa. Called bushmasters.
- Elizabeth Cooper McGillis: You were a bushmaster?
- Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: Well, not when I started. They showed me things, like, ah, how to drink from vines, how to catch my food.
- Robin Cooper McGillis: Like what?
- Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: Oh, little things.
- Casey Cooper McGillis: Like bunnies?
- [worried]
- Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: Oh, I would have killed for a nice bunny.
- [Casey is shocked and turns around]
- Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: No, I would generally get by on grubs, and beetles and worms.
- Robin Cooper McGillis: Ewww - and you kiss him.
