Warren Muck quotes from Band of Brothers

Muck

Hey, Malark! You seeing this?

Malarkey

Crazy fools, the Irish.

Muck

You should know.

Malarkey

Hey, Skip! Where ya been? I've been lookin' all over for you!

Muck

Well, Don, I was at home in Tonawanda, but then Hitler started this whole thing, so now I'm here.

Make a hole! Hey, make a hole! I got ammo, grab what you can!

Nixon

Lieutenant, you're a godsend. What's the situation?

I heard you guys were coming in. There was an ammo dump so, here...[hands a crate of ammo to Toye] Is it just you guys in the 101st?

Toye

Looks like it. What hit you fellas?

Everything. The Krauts had Tigers, Panthers, SP's, Stukas, arty, and infantry. They just kept coming.

Winters

What's your name, Lieutenant?

George Rice, 10th Armored.

Winters

Good work, son.

Muck

[to Rice] Got any more mortar rounds, sir? We're real short.

I'll try to make another ammo run if I can, but don't count on anything.

Muck

Thank you, sir.

Panzer division is about to cut the road south. Looks like you guys are going to be surrounded.

Winters

We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.

Good luck.

Nixon

Thanks.

A lot of you guys get injured?

Martin

It's called "wounded", peanut. Injured is when you fall out of a tree or something.

Muck

Don't worry. There's enough crap flying around here, you're bound to get dinged sometime. Almost every single one of these guys' been hit at least once. Except for Alley, he's a two-timer. He landed on broken glass in Normandy and got peppered by a potato masher in Holland. Now, Bull, he got a piece of an exploding tank in Holland. Now, George Luz, here...has never been hit. You're one lucky bastard.

Luz

Takes one to know one, Skip.

Muck

Eh, consider us blessed. Now, Liebgott, that skinny little guy? He got pinged in the neck in Holland. Now, right next to him, that other skinny little guy, is Popeye. He got shot in his scrawny little butt in Normandy. And, uh, Buck got shot in his rather large butt in Holland.

Penkala

Yeah, kind of an Easy Company tradition, getting shot in the ass.

Muck

Hey, even 1st Sgt. Lipton over there. He got a couple of pieces of a tank shell burst in Carentan. One chunk in the face, another chunk almost took out his nuts.

Guarnere

How are those nuts, sarge?

Lipton

Doing fine, Bill...nice of you to ask.

Penkala

[about Buck] "Don't do anything stupid"? Who the hell is he talking to? A bunch of morons who volunteered to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Can you get any more stupid than that?

Luz

Probably not.

Muck

I swam across the Niagara once.

Penkala

[sarcastically] Yeah.

Muck

I swear! On a bet.

Luz

What, in a barrel?

Muck

No... God... I didn't go over the falls, George. I swam across the river.

Luz

I don't know.

Muck

Ten miles up from the falls. I tell you: that current is damn strong.

Penkala

Oh, yeah.

Muck

Must have carried me at least 2 miles downstream before I got across. But, I got across. Now personally, I didn't think it was all that stupid, but my mom, my sister, Ruth... They gave me all kinds of hell.

Luz

Yeah, I bet, Muck.

Muck

So did Faye. [his girlfriend]

Luz

Aah, sweet Faye Tanner...

Muck

Shut it, George.

Penkala

Well, they had a point - you're an idiot.
