PA Announcer Quotes in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

PA Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, that is a new track record. As it stands now, Jean Girard is sitting on the pole, which is a statement of fact, and is in no way a comment on the driver's sexual orientation.

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Your DD 1348 forms are not filled out correctly.

Choozoo: Yes, sir.

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: We're going to approach this exercise in an orderly proficiant manner, Sergeant Major. I want each round of ammunition counted and returned in the exact condition in which it was received.

Choozoo: I'll personally dot the I's and cross the T's, sir.

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Sloppiness breeds inefficiency.

[Ring and Highway approach]

Highway: But, sir, I...

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Fill out the proper request forms and send it through the chain of command!

Colonel Meyers: That's for sure. What's your assessment of this exercise?

Highway: It's a cluster fuck.
