Bill Guarnere: "Crazy Joe" McKlosky was fucking nuts... that's why they called him "Crazy Joe"!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Buck' Compton: Where you hit, Private?
'Popeye' Wynn: I fucked up. My ass, sir!
'Buck' Compton: Your ass?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George Rice: It looks like you guys are going to be surrounded.

Carwood Lipton: [real life interview with Lipton where he recites a quote from William Shakespeare] From this day to the ending of the world, we in it shall be remembered, we band of brothers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Winters: [real life interview with Winters where he quotes Mike Ranney on how he answered a question his grandson once asked him] I treasure my remark to a grandson who asked, "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" "No", I answered, "But I served in a company of heroes".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Winters: Captain Sobel, you salute the rank, not the man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Lt. Speirs explains to Pvt. Blithe how to cope with fear.]
Ronald Speirs: We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. But Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends on it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Webster: [yelling at captured Nazis after the allies win the war] Dragging us out here, interrupting our lives, for what? You stupid, arrogant sons of bitches, what the fuck are we doing here?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bill Guarnere: Yeah, how are those nuts of yours doing, Sarge?
Carwood Lipton: They're doing just fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George Luz: Hey Janovek, what ya reading?
John Janovek: It's an article on why we're fighting the war.

George Luz: The Germans are bad, huh? No shit...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbert Sobel: Malarkey? Isn't that another word for 'bullshit'?

Donald Malarkey: Yes sir!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Easy Compagny is patrolling through the Bavarian woods]
Frank Perconte: Hey George!
George Luz: Yeah?
Frank Perconte: Kind of remind ya of Bastogne?
George Luz: Yeah, now that you mention it... Except, of course, there's no snow, we got warm grub in our bellies, and the trees aren't fuckin' exploding from Kraut artillery, but yeah... Frank... other than that, it's a lot like Bastogne.
Frank Perconte: Right?
George Luz: Bull, smack him for me please?
[Thump!]
George Luz: Thank you!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warren Muck: I swam the across the Niagra once
Alex Penkala: Yeah
Warren Muck: I swear. On a bet
George Luz: What in a barrel?
Warren Muck: No..God...I didn't go over the falls George. I swam across the river. Ten miles up from the falls. I tell ya that current is damn strong, It must have carried me at least two miles down stream before I made it across. But I got across. Now personally I didn't think it was all that stupid. But my mom and my sister Ruth...they gave me all kinds of hell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pvt. Hashey: Jesus Christ...It's a whole other company!
Sgt. Martin: No shit!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richard Winters: Well, we're in a dell.
Cpt. Nixon: Huh??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Toye: Hey guys, I'm glad we're going to Europe.
[takes out his knife]
Joe Toye: Hitler gets one of these right across the windpipe. Roosevelt changes Thanksgiving to Joe Toye Day. Pay's me ten grand a year for the rest of my fucking life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Guarnere: Once we get into combat, they only people you can trust is yourself and the fella next to you.
Joe Toye: Hey. As long as he's a paratrooper.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cpt. Nixon: Sobel's a genius. I had a headmaster in prep school who was just like him. I know the type.
Richard Winters: Lew, Michaelangelo's a genius. Beethoven's a genius.
Cpt. Nixon: You know a man in this company who wouldn't double-time Currahee with a full pack just to piss in that man's morning coffee?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[on a boat headed for Europe]
Warren Muck: Right now, some lucky bastard's headed for the Pacific, get put on some tropical island, surrounded by six naked native girls, helping him cut up coconuts so he can hand feed them to the flamingos.

Richard Winters: That night, I thanked God for seeing me through that day of days and prayed I would make it through D plus 1. I also promised that if some way I could get home again, I would find a nice peaceful town and spend the rest of my life in peace.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Guarnere: I don't know whether to slap you, kiss you, or salute you!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[playing a game of darts]
George Luz: Lieutenant, are you going to shoot lefty all night?
Joe Toye: Hey c'mon.
George Luz: I'm just curious cause he's right-handed.
'Buck' Compton: [switches hands] George, what would I do without George Luz?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frank Perconte: Hey Luz, how far are we going?
George Luz: Oh, Jesus, Frank, I don't know. Until they tell us to stop.
Donald Hoobler: High ground. There's high ground up ahead.
Frank Perconte: Okay, genius. Answer me this, then. How come Easy Company is the only company who's either at the front of an advance, or, like now, exposed at the far edge of the line?
Donald Hoobler: To keep you on your toes.
Frank Perconte: No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, we're never in the middle. And we're the fifth of nine companies in this regiment. Able to Item. Think of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Winters: These men have been through the toughest training the Army has to offer, under the worst possible circumstances, and they volunteered for it.
'Buck' Compton: Christ, Dick, I was just shooting craps with them.
Richard Winters: You know why they volunteered? Because they knew that the man in the foxhole next to them would be the best. Not some draftee who's going to get them killed.
'Buck' Compton: Are you ticked because they like me? Because I'm spending time to get to know my soldiers. I mean, c'mon, you've been with them for two years? I've been here for six days.
Richard Winters: You're gambling, Buck.
'Buck' Compton: So what. Soldiers do that. I don't deserve a reprimand for it.
Richard Winters: What if you'd won?
'Buck' Compton: What?
Richard Winters: What if you'd won? Don't ever put yourself in the position where you can take from these men.
