Lieutenant Steven Hauk Quotes in Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: "Good morning, Vietnam." What the heck is that supposed to mean?

Private Abersold: I don't know, Lieutenant, I guess it means good morning, Vietnam.

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: And who gave him permission to play modern music?

[Listening to Cronauer]

Private Abersold: You know, he's funny, he's like a Marx Brother.

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: And which Marx Brother would that be, Private? Zeppo? I don't find him funny at all.

Private Abersold: Zeppo? Wasn't he the one with the hat?

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: I understand you're pretty funny as a dee-jay and, well, comedy is kind of a hobby of mine. Well, actually, it's a little more than just a hobby, Reader's Digest is considering publishing two of my jokes.

Adrian Cronauer: Really.

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: Yeah. And perhaps some night we could maybe get together and swap humorous stories, for fun.

Adrian Cronauer: Oh, why not? Maybe play a couple of Tennessee Ernie Ford records, that'd be a hoot.

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: That's a joke, right?

Adrian Cronauer: Maybe.

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: I get it.

Lieutenant Steven Hauk: I think some apologies are in order.
