Chip Collyer Quotes:

  • Hi Johns: That a boy, Chip. I want you fresh and rested and rarin' to go.

    Chip Collyer: Yeah, I know. Rarin' to go, back there. Hi, have you ever seen men die - slowly?

    Hi Johns: Now, wait a minute.

  • Chip Collyer: Well, well, Irene Melvern. It's a long way from Italy! You know, you gave a swell performance for me, one night at Sovana, me and 5,000 GIs. The film broke a couple of times, but, it was swell. You'll never know what you did to me that night.

Watching her green-flecked eyes change from fear to scorn to anger to pity. Oh, yes, I saw some pity in those eyes. And, while we're on the subject, if you don't mind my saying so, that's the nicest hank of hair I've seen in many a lonesome month. And, the nose. It isn't bad, either. But, you know what gets me? The voice. There's music in it.

    Irene Malvern: What necklace?

    Chip Collyer: The Grand Duke's.
