- Duke: Now then, y’all come here to say your final farewell to ol’ Walt here.
- Trapper John: Farewell Walt.
- Duke: Dear ol’ Walt. You know, I got an idea that maybe it’s not such a final farewell after all. I think maybe ol’ Walt’s going on into the unknown to do a little recon work for us all.
- Hawkeye: I just– I just wanna say one thing. Uh, nobody ordered Walt to go on this mission. He volunteered for certain death.
- Duke: That’s true.
- Hawkeye: That’s what we award our highest medals for.
- Duke: That’s beautiful.
- Hawkeye: That’s what being a soldier is all about.
- Trapper: Oh yeah.
- Capt. Bandini: Hear! Hear!
