The lines from "Full Metal Jacket":
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:"Who can tell me who Charles Whitman is?"
Pvt. Joker:"Sir,he's the guy that killed those people in that tower,sir"
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:"And who can tell me who Lee Harvey Oswald is?"
Pvt. Snowball:"Sir,he's the guy that shot Kennedy,sir".
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Do any of you people know where these individuals learned how to shoot?
Private Joker: Sir. In the Marines, Sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: In the Marines. Outstanding. Those individuals showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do. And before you ladies leave my Island, you will all be able to do the same thing.
