09:30How well do you know McGraw?
09:49Well, I asked you a question, Sergeant.
10:05How well did you know McGraw?
10:07As well as I knew Crenshaw, Allen, Goldschlag, Lister, and 15 other guys that got it.
10:12You know, I didn't say more than 10 words to him in maybe three weeks.
10:16You never say much to anybody.
10:18That's your personality.
10:23Come on, Doc.
10:24Get some sleep.
10:25Come on, Doc.

16:13My mother was happy about this.
16:18Oh, such a boy, she said.
16:21So sweet, so gentle.
16:23My father, he's disgusted.
16:26I say to my father, it's easier to smile than to fight.
16:29He replies you're an insult to my house, an insult to my house.
16:32All you can do is talk.
16:34Well, that's true enough, but I could never talk my way out to the Wehrmacht.
16:38So I'm running.
16:41Kirby!
16:42Huh?
16:43How'd you get here?

38:16What happened with the German?
38:43I think the crowd's got him.
38:46Sarge!
39:04What's the matter, Sarge?
39:05I lost my Thompson.
39:12Come on, let's get out of here.
39:16Hi, Sarge.
39:18Here you lost your Thompson.
39:19Yeah.
39:20Have you seen Cage around?
39:22Down by the river.
39:23Thanks.
39:36Cage.
39:38Better put in a halosone tablet.
39:45Thanks, Doc.
39:46The general wants to see you, Doc.
39:56Okay.
39:56We moving on?
39:57Yeah, pretty soon.
39:59Well, at least we don't have that big gun to face.
40:00You got any sleep?
40:08Did I?
40:09Like a baby.
40:11Well, that's good, because you're acting squad leader today.
40:13Fine.
40:18Did Doc say anything to you?
40:20No.
40:21Nothing.
40:22Well, he talked to me.
40:35You know, it's kind of rough on Doc.
40:36He got to know that German.
40:38Talked to him.
40:40He told me how he handed him back his carbine and...
40:42how he was in Vaudeville and...
40:47So don't say anything to Doc about what happened back there.
40:50There's no reason why he should know.
40:52I won't tell anything to Doc.
40:54And don't you worry about it either.
40:56A decision had to be made.
40:59A tank looks down your throat, you do what you think is best.
41:04There was nothing else to do.
41:08Yes, there was.
41:09And I did it.
41:12You did what?
41:17You did what?
41:19I didn't kill him.
41:22Look, do you think it's easy?
41:23You just pull the trigger and shoot an old man who's looking up at you?
41:26I heard you fire.
41:28Yeah, I fired.
41:29But I didn't kill him.
41:31I just couldn't.
41:32They don't teach you that.
41:34Nobody ever taught me that.
41:35All right, forget it.
41:37I started to, but...
41:39Forget it.
41:40I just couldn't, that's all.
41:43I just couldn't.
41:46Forget it, you.
41:47Did right, Cage.
41:49Yeah, but if the old German told him...
41:51I don't think he told him a thing.
41:53And even if he did, one piece of information isn't going to win or lose this war.
42:01You did right.
42:05Well, if we're moving out, I better scrounge me up a tummy gun.
42:13Sarge?
42:13Don't you think you have to be pretty sure?
42:20Awfully positive before you start playing?
42:23Playing God with people's lives?
42:27Yeah, that's for sure.
42:28Oh, my God.
