Apocalypse Now

  
Kilgore: You Smell that? Do you smell that? That's napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that!

[Kneels]

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell...the whole hill...it smelled like... victory.
