- Sgt. Toomey: I'm tellin' you, we don't have any "bathrooms" on this base. Do you doubt my veracity?
- Arnold B. Epstein: No, sergeant.
- Sgt. Toomey: Then you've got a problem, don't you Epstein?
- Arnold B. Epstein: Ho ho.
- Sgt. Toomey: You bet your ass “ho ho”. You know why you've got a problem?
- Arnold B. Epstein: Because I've got to go real bad.
- Sgt. Toomey: No, son. You've got a problem because you don't know Army terminology. The place where a U.S. soldier goes to defecate, relieve himself, open his bowel, shit, fart, dump, crap, and unload, is called the latrine. The la-trine, from the French.
