Lt. Beau Gilliam Quotes in The Honeymoon Machine (1961)

Lt. Fergie Howard: Beau'll join you as soon as he gets into his civvies.

Lt. Beau Gilliam: My civvies?

Lt. Fergie Howard: You brought 'em, didn't ya?

Lt. Beau Gilliam: Yeah. But I won't wear 'em, Fergie.

Lt. Fergie Howard: I beg your pardon?

Lt. Beau Gilliam: Well you saw the duty board this morning. We were specifically ordered to wear whites. Any officer caught ashore in his civvies is gonna have his tail in a sling. And the order was signed by Admiral Fitch himself.

Lt. Fergie Howard: Old Foghorn.

Jason Eldridge: Fergie, we agreed not to break any regulations we didn't have to.

Lt. Fergie Howard: Uh huh. But we have to. We can't get into the casino in Navy uniforms. It's off limits.

Lt. Beau Gilliam: Off limits? And in civvies too? I'll be breaking two regulations at once!

Lt. Fergie Howard: That's right, it's sort of a package deal. Now get in there and get out of that uniform and that's an order, Lieutenant *junior* grade Gilliam!
