Billy Sunday Quotes in Men of Honor (2000)

Billy Sunday: The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero.

Billy Sunday: A Chief Petty Officer shall not drink. However, if he should drink he shall not get drunk. If he should get drunk, he shall not stagger. And if he should stagger, he shall not fall. And if he should fall, he will fall in such a manner as to cover up his rank so that passerbyers will think he is an officer.

Billy Sunday: Goddammit Cookie, move your ass, I want my TWELVE!

Billy Sunday: Nine! The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. Ten! If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. Eleven! If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero. Hell, I don't know why anybody would want to be a Navy Diver. Now you report to this line, Cookie!

There was a preacher by the same name who cleaned up Chicago of all the whoring spics, drunken wops and motherfucking niggers that was making that place unfit for decent white folks to live.

Billy Sunday: You know what the Chinese say, cookie? Beware what you wish for.

Carl Brashear: Why are you doing all this?

Billy Sunday: To piss people off.

Billy Sunday: Boatswain's mate second class Carl Brashear. Nine hours, thirty one minutes, perfect assembly.

Carl Brashear: You're damn right I am!

Billy Sunday: Oh Yeah, I remember you now... So What's for Chow Cookie?

Carl Brashear: Sir I am reporting here for diving school!

Billy Sunday: I sure hope your food is better than the last cook's. Last cook's food could kill a man's dog.

Billy Sunday: Son, step aside, or I will crack you right in the jaw.

Mr. Pappy: [in his flat, Sunday just walked in] Did you know that ordinary house dust is composed primarily ofhuman skin ?
