Webb played a Marine drill instructor.

One scene, in a marsh. Webb sees trainee swat a mosquito.

Webb: "Private, did you kill that mosquito?'

Private Jones: "Sir, yes sir."

W: "Did you bury it?"

J: "Sir, no sir."

W. "Well now we have to look for it and give it a proper burial. (to the trainees) Find that mosquito that Jones killed."

Jostling, searching and grumbling goes on until one recruit figures out that one mosquito is no different than another. He wacks another mosquito and calls Webb. "Sargent, I found the mosquito."

Webb: "Jones, was your mosquito a boy mosquito or a girl mosquito?"

Jones: " Ah -- ahh -- It was a boy mosquito."

W: "Martinez, you have the wrong mosquito. Everyone keep looking."
