Flash!
HHall
Shit!
I don't think that's the correct reply, trooper. I say "flash", you say "thunder".
HHall
Yes, sir. Thunder, sir.

So, you're a radioman?
HHall
Yes, sir. Well, I was, until I lost my radio in the jump. I'm sure I'll get chewed out for that.
Well, if you were in my regiment, I would tell you that you were a rifleman first and a radioman second.
HHall
Yes, sir. Maybe you can say that to my CO when we find him...if we find him.
HHall
I wonder if everybody else is as lost as we are.
We're not lost, Private. We're in Normandy.
[Soldiers from Easy Company & 82nd Airborne are gathering weapons and ammunition from dead American and German soldiers]
Hey, I promised my baby brother I'd fetch him back a Luger, so I get first dibs, okay? [to an 82nd soldier] Check that one.
[Loud wooshes erupt overhead]
It's the navy.
The landings have started. Let's go.
HHall
[looks at his watch] Right on time.
Yeah? [points to a dead American paratrooper] Well, tell him that, Cowboy.
HHall
My name's Hall.
Is that so?
BBuck
Where you hit, Pop?
PWPopeye Wynn
I can't believe I fucked up; my ass, sir.
BBuck
Your ass? [Lt. Compton checks his wound] Holy shit.
[Hall and other members of Able Company come to help Easy]
Hiya, Cowboy!
HHall
Shut your fucking Guinea trap, Gonorrhea!
[Pauses, then smiles] He's alright, that kid!
Let the Krauts cook their own goddamn food. How are we doing, Malarkey?
We're doing good.
BBuck
Yeah? What the hell do you know about cooking; you're Irish.
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?
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.
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.
What's a Mennonite?
That night, I took time to thank God for seeing me through that day of days and prayed I would make it through D plus 1. And if, somehow, I managed to get home again, I promised God and myself that I would find a quiet piece of land someplace and spend the rest of my life in peace.
