I wish I did, but I don't. I've never forgotten his wonderful contribution to the film overall, but I don't recall that line. If you wouldn't mind being so kind...?

In 1982's AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, Loggia played the father of Richard Gere's character, "Zack Mayo." Loggia's "Bryon Mayo" was an ex-Navy man, who had become an alcoholic philanderer who wanted to avoid his parental responsibilities. In the original script, Bryon Mayo visited his son during training and had a much bigger role in the film. At the graduation ceremony when Zack says he's going to get his "first salute", he is referring to his father. A scene was shot at the graduation where Zack's father salutes him. This goes back to a point in the beginning when Zack's Dad said he'd never salute him. Robert Loggia protested that being cut out of the movie. The footage is considered lost. Taylor Hackford directed the film, and Jack Nitzsche provided the score, which had only two tracks released on the soundtrack album.

Loggia co-starred with John Cusack in the 1987 comedy-adventure HOT PURSUIT. Loggia played “Mac MacClaren," the owner of a sailboat who shanghais a drunken "Dan Bartlett" (Cusack) and gives chase after a yacht on which is Dan's girlfriend, her family, and a first mate who MacClaren wants to confront. Steven Lisberger directed the film, with music provided by the group Rareview (Joseph Conlan, Steve Schaeffer , and Tom Scott).
The film shot the opening sequences for several days at the St. Michael’s University School in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Then production moved to Mexico, filming in the fishing village of Zihuatenejo, about 130 miles north of Acapulco, and a nearby resort in Ixtapa. The script called for a hurricane sequence, and nature cooperated with the filmmakers as Hurricane Paine came though while they were filming. Crews shot scenes of the sailboat Albatross and actors Cusack and Loggia being tossed by the waves and winds as the hurricane passed through the area.
