Here’s my classic 1979 Apocalypse Now Robert Duvall “I love the smell of napalm in the morning” impression:
(Bullets and bombs going off all around them!)
Okay, fellas. Quit hiding. Come on! Let’s go! Take off! Dammit!
If I say it’s safe to surf this beach, it’s safe to surf this beach! I’ll surf this whole place! I’ll surf this whole f*cking place!
Give me that R-T soldier.
Dammit, I want that tree line bombed! Blow them back to the Stone Age son!...
Let me take care of this… Get that out of here! (Pushes gun away. Takes baby) Come here now. All right. (Gives baby to another soldier) You put him in my chopper. Get him to the hospital. (Pushing Vietnamese mother towards chopper) No, no, no. You got to go with them. Get it outta here! Take off! Go! Go! Go! Tell my boys I want my board!
Give me those. I want you to take these, and do your stuff in them, over there. (Unfolds shorts) These are a present from me and the boys in the air cav. (Bomb goes off in the ocean. Minutes later, bombs are dropped)
Do you smell that!? Do you smell that!? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Once we bombed a hill for 12 hours. I walked up. Didn’t one find. Didn’t find one stinking body. Not one body. But that gasoline smell… Smelled like… Victory…
Someday, this war is gonna end.
