Best Quote

1. "But you're the most inept German I've ever dealt with and that's including Klink." 

(Hogan speaking to Waffenschmidt, an OC, Code Name Raven, chapter 4, Coyote Ace) 

2. "He's too sick to be working! He's going to kill us all!" LeBeau exclaimed.

"Not if I wring his neck first," Newkirk growled. 

(Newkirk and LeBeau referring to Carter, Not So Well, chapter 3, deepbluethinking)

3. Hogan shook loose thoughts by pacing. Newkirk had his own method. 

He sat at the table in the barracks, a cigarette clenched between his teeth, a pack of cards in his hands. He shuffled, riffled, fanned, and flourished the cards, blocking out everything around him. 

(Narrator, regarding Newkirk in the barracks, Permission to Speak Freely, chapter 6, GrrraceUnderfire)

4. "I feel like I am about to join a gang filled with a bunch of misfits." 

(Hochstetter…regarding Hogan and a guard called Meyer, Fly Back to Me, chapter 9, HogansHeroesGirl1996)

5. “I suppose he was just following orders," Tiger said, concealing the bitterness in her voice with difficulty.

Matthias grunted. "The country would be better off without them," he muttered, then glanced over at her. "You never heard me say that."

His voice was caught, painfully, between forced levity and tension. Tiger's was scarcely better. "I'm sometimes hard of hearing."

Matthias returned his focus to the road ahead. His eyes darted restlessly. "Amazing how common that affliction is." 

(From All the Stars, chapter 1 FloatingPizza)

6. I was probably the only man in camp who considered Stalag 13 an improvement on my home life. The meals were regular, for starters, and I had my own bed.

(Newkirk’s observations,  The French-English Mutual Aid Society, GrrraceUnderfire)

7. “I'll come back” – Powerful works in the Newkirk household. Possibly the most meaningful phrase either of them had in their vocabulary. If you listened carefully enough, it rhymed with “I love you.” 

(Narrator, His Divinest Grief, chapter 11, Signy1)

8. "I'm going to take care of you, proper. Like you should be." 

That was what he said aloud. He meant it. It was what he thought he was thinking. 

But somewhere, deep down, a tiny part of him was also thinking, “someone's finally going to take care of me.”

(Newkirk, regarding Mavis, His Divinest Grief, chapter 4, Signy1)

9. I’m proud to say I can now swear fluently in English, German, Russian, French, and Garlotti's helping me work on my Italian, so don't say you can't learn anything useful from war. 

(Newkirk, The French-English Mutual Aid Society, GrrraceUnderfire) 

10. In the midst of this misery and bloody war, warmth could be found in the smallest, strangest forms. 

(Narrator, Warmth: A Christmas Drabble,  cOffeeVaMpire)

11. "If that's all it takes, I'll let you have the honour of spiking his coffee," Hogan said.

Newkirk snorted. "If he hits me again, I'll be spiking his coffee whether he needs it or not."

"Yeah, but with what?"

"Now, that's the question, isn't it?" 

(Hogan and Newkirk, regarding Schultz, My Enemy's Enemy, chapter 1, Signy1)

12. “It was no surprise that Carter talked in his sleep. The man always talked – why would something as inconsequential as unconsciousness stop him?”

(LeBeau in The Night Shift by Tuttle4077)

13. Newkirk, who generally went on the assumption that the Bible's 'turn the other cheek' could only be the result of mistranslation, mistranscription, misunderstanding, or outright misinformation, started forward, his hands already curling into fists. 

(Newkirk, regarding Schultz, My Enemy's Enemy, Signy1)

14. No, you can't bomb a bridge wearing mittens,

No matter how warm, how well knit;

They are not safe to use,

While you set a timed fuse;

We'll be blasted to pieces, you twit!

(Newkirk in Barrack-Room Drabbles in December by mrspencil, chapter 16)

15. Olsen strode over like he owned the building, the country, and the entire continent of Europe. 

(Narrator, The Parrot, the Princess, and the Pair of Unfortunates, Oconee Belle)

16. "'Strudel recipe' isn't code for anything. It's just strudel. You know—a kind of pastry. We need a really good recipe for apple strudel, and we need it as soon as possible." 

(Exchange between London Central Command and Papa Bear, What the British Soldier Can Stand, Signy1)

17. The Christmas tree would been much more charming, thought Tiger, were it not crowned by a portrait of Hitler.

(Tiger’s thoughts, From All the Stars, FloatingPizza)

18. The prisoners should know by now that nobody escapes from Stalag XIII. He never grew tired of mentioning this little fact to everyone who didn't want to hear it.

(Klink’s thoughts, What Shall We Do with the Drunken Major?, chapter 1, Deepbluethinking)

19. There were many things Louis LeBeau could do flawlessly: One was hitting the A above middle C; one was preparing a soufflé; one was silently tracking a man in the woods without being noticed. And one was recognizing when Peter Newkirk, his Pierre, was on the verge of acknowledging something that caused him profound pain. 

(Narrator in Awakening, chapter 24, GrrraceUnderfire)

20. "There will be grief," he agreed, without looking back, "and I'll be sorry for that. But if you think I'll ever regret my decision- well, lady, you really are in the dark." 

(Hogan to the lady in the dark, A Meeting at the Crossroads, chapter 1, Dust on the Wind)

21. They were scared because it could all come crashing down on them any minute. But they had a job to do. War didn't care if they were scared. And they learned a simple truth: bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death. 

(Narrator regarding the Heroes, Dabbling in Drabbles, chapter 13: Scared, Tuttle 4077)

22. "Time heals all wounds."

"Seriously? Over 300 years old and that's your piece of wisdom?"

(Newkirk and Duncan, Of Strength and Thunder, chapter 5, Sierra Sutherwind)

23. "Well, they do feed Newkirk at the table," LeBeau pointed out. "So the standards are already quite low." 

(Other Ranks, chapter 1, Abracadebra)

24. “What am I supposed to do with a parrot?”

“Orange sauce.”

(Hogan and LeBeau in Great Expectations, chapter 1, Snooky-9093)

25. "What is it this time that's more important than World War Two? A shipment of oranges?"

"No!" Max said, sounding affronted. "Don't insult me."

Newkirk smiled ruefully. "Sorry, Max. I know you have your priorities in more, most of the ti-"

"...They're peaches." 

(Newkirk and Max, in Yes, We Have No Ammunition, chapter 1, Signy1 )

26. "Why do you think they're here, Major? I run a tight ship."

"I know, Klink. As tight as the Titanic- after it hit the iceberg!"

(Klink and Hochstetter, in Saving Troy’s Bacon Raid, chapter 2 by tallsunshine12)

27. "You dummkopf, you're supposed to chew your food exactly 30 times; not 29. Now it won't digest properly!" 

(Klink with Hogan present, Hogan's Heroes: Kommandant Chaos, chapter 2, Basketballgirl Kaitlin)
