Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: Oh, honey, look - it's a reservation at the Blue Ridge Inn for tonight.
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker: I predict you're going to love it, sir. It's my pick for a relaxing getaway.
Polly Cooper McGillis: Well, I don't know what to say.
Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: I do. Let's go pack.
Polly Cooper McGillis: John, we can't leave the kids alone overnight.
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker: Ma'am, the Marine Corps would never be so sloppy as to offer a gift with such a gross oversight. I will be the babysitter.
[the kids all look shocked]
Polly Cooper McGillis: That's really nice of you.
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker: We drew lots. I lost.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: Well I, for one, can't think of a more conscientious sitter than a U.S. Marine.
Lt. Eugene 'Gene' Holowachuk: So go ahead, Major, Mrs. Major. Have a great time on us.
Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis: What do you say, Pol?
Polly Cooper McGillis: Race you upstairs to pack.
Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker: Don't worry about a thing, sir. Until 1200 tomorrow, I'll be watching their every move.
Robin Cooper McGillis: Why didn't they just put us in a kennel?
