I feel like the "nowhere else to go!" line's almost become pop culture osmosis, since as you said, it's been parodied so much. When I saw this movie I said "Oh THAT'S where it came from."Pooky said:- An Office & a Gentleman; the "I got nowhere else to go" line/scene is pretty famous and has been parodied a fair few times. Louis Gossett Jr's character was also kind of iconic at one point, and became the template for a lot of his own roles and other drill sergeant characters going forward
Funny thing about Louis Gosset Jr's character: A couple of his bits (the infamous "Steers and...") were reused only a few years later by R. Lee Ermey's character in Full Metal Jacket. So people associate it with the latter film, even though the bits came earlier.
I'll admit, as much as I disliked that movie, that line was indeed hilarious.and what she says to the Pepsi-Cola board of directors, which I can't repeat here.
