Major Payne: It's been two whole weeks since I killed me a man, and already I'm startin' to get the itch. Problem is I got nothin' to scratch. God, I'm hungry. Hungry for action, hungry for blood. Hell, I'm just plain ol' hungry. Feel like I'm gettin' weaker, while Charlie's gettin' stronger in the jungle. Gotta maintain discipline; gotta keep my strength up! 'Cause the hard reality is, I gotta get a job.
Cadet Stone: If I'm the new squad leader, then my first order is to SCREW YOU, SIR!
Major Payne: What'd you say to me turd?
Cadet Stone: Why don't you go back to hell where you came from?
Major Payne: Boy, I am five seconds from being on you like white on rice with a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm. I'll put my foot so far up your ass the water on my knee will quench your thirst.
Cadet Stone: Try it.
Payne: You nasty little worm! Go change your Huggies, boy, and be back here pronto. Stop that crying! You get no pity from me. You think your tears will stop Charlie from taking his bayonet and sticking it in your little tiny heart?
Payne: You'll get no sympathy from me! You want sympathy, look in the dictionary between shit, and syphilis! That's where you'll find my sympathy!
Payne: I have been given eight weeks to transform you motley collection of pukes into a well-disciplined cadet unit! From this day forward, your sorry asses belong to ME! You will not eat, sleep, drink, blow your nose, or even dig in your butt without my say-so.
Payne: Killing is my business, ladies, and business is GOOD!
Payne: What's the matter with you, boy?
Tiger: They won't let me go on the black op. They say I'm too little, and no one lets you do anything when you're too little.
Payne: Aw, phooie! What about all the stories about the little people that do big things? Like Little Red Riding Hood, them three little pigs, Spike Lee, or them Little Rascals? You ever hear the story about the Little Engine That Could?
Payne: A squad that lives together, wins together! "Unity", turds; that is the key word in "unit", without the "Y"!
Answer: Madison is not a military academy. It is a boarding school and Major Payne has been put in charge of their JROTC program. It is, however unlikely that those cadets, or the blind cadet at the end of the film, would be admitted into a JROTC program. The Code of Federal Regulations states that the JROTC program is designed for "physically fit" students. Tiger is also much too young to be allowed to participate, you must be in at least the 7th grade to participate. Madison is apparently making exceptions to allow basically anyone that wants to participate and that would not be allowed in real life.
