Harry Welsh quotes from Band of Brothers

Let the Krauts cook their own goddamn food. How are we doing, Malarkey?

Malarkey

We're doing good.

BBuck

Yeah? What the hell do you know about cooking; you're Irish.

Malarkey

Sir, if you have a reservation someplace else, I'd be happy to go with you.

[Guarnere opens the flap]

Ooh, Christ, gimme some air.

[Winters shows up]

Whoo. Did something just die in here?

Welsh

Yeah, Malarky's ass.

BBuck

Any word on Lieutenant Meehan yet, sir?

No, not yet.

Don't that make you our commanding officer, sir?

Yeah, it does.

Toye

Sir? [offers Winters a bottle of wine]

Joe, the Lieutenant don't drink.

[Takes the bottle] It's been a day of firsts. [drinks, then hands bottle to Guarnere] Don't you think, Guarnere?

[pause] Yes, sir.

Carry on.

[He starts to leave, then turns back to Guarnere]

Oh, and Sergeant?

Sir?

I'm not a Quaker. [leaves]

[the men laugh]

Hey, if he's from Lancaster County, he's probably a Mennonite.

Toye

What's a Mennonite?

Harry, what exactly are you doing with your reserve chute? You've been hauling that thing around ever since we jumped?

Welsh

Gonna send it to Kitty when we get back to England. Silk. Figure it'll make a good wedding dress, you know, what with rationing and all.

Geez, Harry, I never would have guessed.

Welsh

What, that I'm so sentimental?

No, that you think we're going to make it back to England.

Sink told me what a good job Easy did holding the line, said General Taylor was pleased.

Welsh

That's why I came to France: to please General Taylor.

Harry. Fire's not a good idea.

Welsh

Just a couple of minutes. We're in a dell.

A dell? Like where fairies and gnomes live?

[Nixon walks up]

I swear I thought I could smell a fire. I did smell a fire. Are you out of your mind? [starts warming his hands at the fire]

Well, we're in a dell.
