He is a man with a gun. He is a killer, a slayer. Patient and gentle as he is, he is a slayer. Self-effacing, self-forgetting, still he is a killer. . . All the other stuff, the love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.

White
Hawkeye thought a lot of things were funny. "Let me get this right, Moony. You work mostly at night? And you dress all in white? Har-dee-har har." Thought that was a riot. Told him I don't wear white to hide myself. I wear it so they'll see me coming. So they'll know who it is. 'Cause when they see the white, it doesn't matter how good a target I am. Their hands shake so bad, they couldn't hit the moon.

One of the Guys
From Kirby Krackle:
Oh, somebody told me once,
you can't be a lover and a confidant
and still be a hero made of Big Orange Rocks at the same time...
Oh no!
But I, I haven't learned it yet,
I still blame it all on the accident
the big brain says I'll get fixed, but I never will
That's why I've never felt like one of the guys...
One of the Guys, One of the Guys!
That's why I've never felt like one of the guys
One of the Guys, One of the Guys!
That's why I've never felt like one of the...
Thugs, along Yancy Street,
I never saw a face I didn't wanna beat
I can't go to dinner with my girl without breaking the table,
Oh no!
My whole life, I was walking tall,
now I can't even go to the mall
They call me the ever lovin' blue eyed thing I don't wanna be
Cause I've never felt like one of the guys...
One of the Guys, One of the Guys!
That's why I've never felt like one of the guys
One of the Guys, One of the Guys!
That's why I've never felt like one of the...
I find I'm singing this refrain,
cuz I doubt this feeling will ever change
It's been like this for oh so long...
Spent my life feeling this way,
but after all this time I found, it's fed me all along
and it's made me strong...
When the time comes to end the fun,
I'm the one that gets the business done,
ain't no one in the world that can get in my way
Oh no!
I've found a place among my friends,
and I'll be there up until the end
the first family to make me forget I was so grim
That's why I finally feel like one of the guys...
One of the Guys, One of the Guys!
That's why I finally feel like one of the guys
One of the Guys, One of the Guys!
That's why I finally feel like one of the guys
So now I say it's Clobberin' Time, it's Clobberin' Time
Now it's Clobberin' Time, it's Clobberin' Time
So now I say it's Clobberin' Time, it's Clobberin' Time
Now it's Clobberin' Time, it's Clobberin' Time
So now I say it's Clobberin' Time...
