The Dawn Patrol (1938 film)

"Man is a savage animal, who, periodically to relieve his nervous tension, tries to destroy himself."

"[drunkenly] Gentlemen, keep the war going please. We're going to roll in a few gutters."

"[Asking Phipps to translate to the German POW] Ask him if he'll drink a toast to the dead."

"[Opens package dropped by enemy plane] It's his helmet and goggles. It means a very gallant gentleman died this afternoon. And for what? What have all these deaths accomplished? So many fine chaps have died in this war and are going to die in future wars. [pause] That's all, gentlemen."

"You know what this place is? It's a slaughterhouse, and I'm the butcher!"

"They roared through the dawn... with death on their wings!"

"Roaring into each blood-red dawn... fighting for women they had never seen ... for love they might never know ! !"
