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.
Day of Days
Carentan
Hey, Malark! You seeing this?
[They watch an Army chaplain walk through a hail of bullets to give fallen soldiers last rites]
Crazy fools, the Irish.
You should know.
[Talbert is giving first aid to Lipton, who keeps staring at his own crotch, which is all bloody. Talbert tears open Lipton's pants and looks...]
TTalbert
You're okay, Lip. Everything's right where it should be.
How far do you think we're going?
Jesus Christ, Frank, I don't know. Until they tell us to stop!
Got any souvenirs to trade?
BBlithe
What?
[pulls his sleeve up, showing several wristwatches on his forearm and wrist] They're all tickin', unlike their previous owners.
Harry, what exactly are you doing with your reserve chute? You've been hauling that thing around ever since we jumped?
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.
What, that I'm so sentimental?
No, that you think we're going to make it back to England.
I want light and noise discipline from now on. That means no talking, no smoking, and no playing grab-fanny with the man in front of you, Luz.
[imitating Col. Sink] Now remember boys: flies spread disease. So keep yours closed.
SSpeirs
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 upon it.
Sink told me what a good job Easy did holding the line, said General Taylor was pleased.
That's why I came to France: to please General Taylor.
Replacements
CCobb
Where'd you get that?
MMiller
It's the Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation. For, uh... for what the regiment did in Normandy.
CCobb
That's right. For what the regiment did. You weren't there.
HHoobler
Hey, hey, ease up on him, Cobb. It's a unit citation. [Miller removes his Citation ribbon and walks away. Bull picks it up, glaring at Cobb]
BBull
Shit, Cobb, you didn't fight in Normandy, neither.
CCobb
I got hit in the plane before I got a chance to jump.
[During the liberation celebration in Eindhoven, Easy Company officers see women having their hair sheared off]
What did they do?
VKMr. van Kooijk
They slept with the Germans. They are lucky; all the men who collaborated are being shot.
Mr. van Kooijk here is with the Dutch resistance.
VKMr. van Kooijk
[shakes Winters' hand] We have been waiting and hoping for this day, for almost five years.
He says he can help us secure the bridges here.
VKMr. van Kooijk
Yes, together we can push the remaining Germans out of Eindhoven, and that's just the beginning.
[to Nixon] Any idea where they might be?
Uh, well, we're still working on that right now.
VKMr. van Kooijk
[sends a teenage boy from the resistance over to them] Piers and his friends here are getting information as we speak.
His contacts a couple towns down said they saw the British 2nd Guard's armor move through half an hour ago.
They're kids.
VKMr. van Kooijk
These are reliable reports. Anything we can do to help you, we will do.
[on Bull's MIA status] If there ain't no body, then there ain't nobody dead.
[Nixon falls down after a German bullet ricochets off his helmet]
Nix!
I'm all right! I'm all right... am I all right?
Yeah, yeah, you are. [smiles a bit]
Yeah? Quit lookin' at me like that!
[gambling on a game of darts]
Lieutenant, are you going to shoot lefty all night? [Comptom looks at him]
Hey, c'mon.
I'm just curious cause he's right-handed.
BBuck
[switches hands] George! What would I do without George Luz?
