Heh-heh, this was one of my all time favourite movies: Full Metal Jacket. This sarcastic, sadistic, blood thirsty Kubrik masterpiece of the Vietnam War was absolutely riddled with excellent one-liners, monologues and general verbal abuse throughout the movie. Who could forget the helicopter gunner's reply to Joker (the main protagonist), when asked how he could gun down women and children at random; "Easy, you don't lead them as much! (laughs)" or how Gunnery Sgt. "You Better Unfuck Yourself Private Or I'll Unscrew Your Head And Shit Down Your Neck!" Hartman berated and emasculated every single recruit, or pukes as he reffered to them, under his care. A little bit of interesting trivia concerning Gunnery Seargent Hartman was that the actor playing the role was an actual U.S. Marine Corp Drill Instructor, a Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee Ermie (retired). Anyway, I came across one of the many sites containing wav files from the movie and this has got to be one of the more complete ones:-

Drill Instructor: How tall are you private?
Cowboy: Sir! Five foot nine, sir!
Drill Instructor: Five foot nine? I didn't know they stacked shit that high! You tryin' to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere, huh?
Cowboy: Sir! No Sir!
Drill Instructor: Bullshit. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress! I think you been cheated! Where in the hell are you from anyway, private?
Cowboy: Sir! Texas, Sir!
Drill Instructor: Holy dog shit! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?
Cowboy: Sir! No Sir!
Drill Instructor: Are you a peter puffer?
Cowboy: Sir! No Sir!
Drill Instructor: I'll bet you're the kinda guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you.
