Maj. Weldon Penderton (Marlon Brando): I'm sorry,
Leonora. It's just all this clutter is...
Leonora (Elisabeth Taylor): What's the
matter with clutter? I like it.
Maj. Weldon
Penderton: I'd rather live without it. Bare floors. Plain
white walls. No window curtains. Nothing but essentials.
Leonora:
If
that's the way you feel about it, why don't you resign your commission and
start all over again as an enlisted man?
Maj. Weldon
Penderton: Of course you're laughing at it, but there's much
to be said for the life of men among men... with no... luxuries, no
ornamentation. Utter simplicity. It's rough and it's coarse, perhaps, but it's
also clean - it's clean as a rifle. There's no speck of dust inside or out...
and it's immaculate in its hard young fitness... its chivalry. They're seldom
out of one another's sight. They eat, and they train, and they shower, and they
play jokes... and go to the brothel together. They sleep side by side. The
barracks room offers many a lesson in courtesy and how not to give offense.
They guard the next man's privacy as though it was their own. And the
friendships, my lord. There are friendships formed that are stronger than...
stronger than the fear of death. And - they're never lonely. They're never
lonely. And sometimes I envy them... well, good night.
