\n* When the dead mules are blocking the way, Patton raises hell, mainly funny for how George C. Scott delivers it:
--> '''Patton''': You let a column get stalled and strafed on account of two ''jackasses''?!
* The first words in Patton's apology speech to the troops for slapping the soldier:
--> '''Patton''': I thought I'd stand up here and let you people see... [[MoodWhiplash if I am as big a son of a bitch as some of you think I am.]] ''(soldiers laugh)''

** In the same scene, Patton informing the kitchen that its new hours of operation are between 6-6:15 am. He adds:
--> '''Patton''': Gentlemen, from this moment any man without leggings, without a helmet, without a tie, any man with unshined shoes or soiled uniform... [[DisproportionateRetribution is going to be skinned.]]
** Also in the same scene, Patton comes across a recruit with a pinup poster near his bed. At first, he gives the guy a smirk that basically reads "Yeah, she's hot"... only to rip it down from the wall after a beat.
--> '''Patton''': This is a barracks, not a bordello.

\n\n* Patton brings a bull terrier to his speech in Britain, proud that it's a combat dog. The dog is interested by a Pekingese held by another lady and wants to play. The Pekingese instead decides to let the terrier know that no she ''does not'' want to play, making the terrier back off whining, much to Patton's chagrin.
