While Aaron Sorkin's screenplay remains mostly true to the dialogue in his original stage version, there are many variations between the two. For example the line "I like all you navy boys, any time we have to go somewhere to fight, you boys always give us a ride." is delivered by Lt. Kendrick in the film. In the play it is delivered by Corporal Barnes on the flight line. The concluding dialogue when Dawson says "We were supposed to fight for people who couldn't fight for themselves, we were supposed to fight for Willy." is actually a variant of a line delivered by Lt. Weinberg to Dawson. Weinberg, after the trial, presses Dawson to answer who he was supposed to fight for. Writer and "screenplay doctor" William Goldman made several uncredited revisions to the screenplay which Sorkin liked so much he changed the stage play to incorporate them.
