Quotes:

[after learning that I-Corps will not replace a foot locker unless it was damaged in combat, Margaret solves the problem by shooting her broken foot locker with Charles's double-barrel shotgun]
Margaret: There I was, alone in my tent! Suddenly, a sniper leaped out at me, and fired two shots! Bang! Bang! Without hesitation, my valiant foot locker threw itself into the direct line of fire, giving its life that I might live!
[she gives Klinger the foot locker]
Margaret: Now take this worthless piece of junk, and get me a new one! And make it fast, or I'll use the same technique to replace a defective company clerk!
