David Kenyon Webster quotes from Band of Brothers

Webster

In war, soldiers sometimes die in the fever pitch of a fire fight, or by artillery when they’re huddled in a foxhole. Bill Kiehn, a Toccoa man, was killed because he was carrying a sack of potatoes from one building into another.

Webster

How could anyone ever know of the price paid by soldiers in terror, agony and bloodshed if they'd never been to places like Normandy, Bastogne or Haguenau?

Webster

Sergeant Lipton feeling all right?

Luz

He's got pneumonia.

Webster

Sorry to hear that.

Luz

Ah, what are you sorry about? He's alive, got a couch, a goddamn blanket. Snug as a bug.

Nixon

Hitler's dead.

Liebgott

Holy shit.

Nixon

Shot himself in Berlin.

Is the war over, sir?

Nixon

No. We have orders to Berchtesgaden. We're gonna move out in one hour.

Webster

Why? The man's not home. Should've killed himself three years ago, saved us a lot of trouble.

Nixon

Yeah, he should've. But he didn't.

Webster

Shut up.

Webster

Shut up!

Webster

[Draws his sidearm] Shut up, you Nazi fuck! [Grabs the baker, aiming the pistol at him]

Ich bin kein Nazi! (I am not a Nazi!)

Webster

Oh, you're not a Nazi? My mistake, you fat fucking prick. What about a human being? Are you one of those, or are you going to tell me that you never smelled the fucking stench? [of the nearby concentration camp]

Toeten sie mich nicht, bitte toeten sie mich nicht, ich verstehe nicht was du da sagst (Don't kill me, please don't kill me, I don't know what you're saying)

Leave him alone, Web, he says he doesn't know what the hell you're talking about.

Webster

Bullshit.
