Duvall’s character Kilgore delivers a now famous and often misquote line in the film:

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’…body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like victory.
