"You stick your neck into a lion's mouth and you come up shy a head." "Me.." "I'm a southbound fella in a northbound world." "Taking that bridge was supposed to be a lead pipe cinch." "Battalion figured the krauts would cross the river." "Hightail it south." "Well." "Somebody made a mistake." "They're not high-tailing it." "Lieutenant." "The only way we can take that house and control the bridge." "Is to be with an artillery piece." "Can we get one from Battalion." "No time." "That bridge has to be secured by 1900 hours." "That's 55 minutes from now." "Since when do we have to start winning this war on schedule." "What's so important about that bridge anyway?" "I don't know Sergeant." "It was an order."

"You don't buy the land." "You buy the topsoil." "Then you haul it into the city." "You sell it for a dollar a yard." "That's a stupid way to do business." "What if one yard's bigger than the next one." "you use more dirt." "But it's still a dollar a yard." "Dollar a yard." "Would I love to do business with you." "Huh." "see." "I mean a big one." "you'd wear out that truck of yours trying to fill it." "I think you guys are talking about two different kinds of yards." "Ha ha." "I think we are." "a yard long and a yard wide." "huh." "That's if you sift out the worms." "snap." "(Hellar snapping to a tune only he hears) 434)}Snap." "Snap." "334)}Snap." "Snap." "We're taking the bridge." "Ahh." "but uh" "I don't believe the lyrics." "maestro." "Yeah." "I'm kidding." "We take the house first." "but even I can see there ain't no odds in this." "Hellar." "I ain't through." "You're asking for my skin." "I don't want your skin." "The krauts want it." "There's a house across from the church." "Let's go." "My old man always told me if I walked into a church it'd fall down." "Sergeant." "This is crazy." "We can't rush that house." "There's too much open ground." "We'll flank 'em." "Left side of that small house." "Nelson." "You and Shrope." "You double back up the alley." "We'll give you cover fire and you try to sprint across to that house." "okay." "Once you get there." "And set up." "You help draw their fire." "We'll hit 'em from the other side of the bridge." "how you gonna get there." "What are you gonna do." "Call a truce while you walk over." "Kirby." "I'm gonna say this once." "I'm gonna say it to all of you." "and your ears open." "You follow my orders and don't ask why." "Is that clear?" "Sarge." "You like jazz."

"Gotta learn to bend a little Sarge." "Hellar." "You get down at that window with your rifle." "Nelson." "Shrope." "Move out." "Don't fire till I do." "Cover him." "Krauts." "Krauts were in that house." "You almost made it Nelson." "Why'd you turn back." "They were in there." "They were waiting for us." "Didn't you see what happened to Shrope." "Yeah." "I saw." "For what?" "He died for nothing." "You panicked." "I almost got killed." "then you were coming back here." "I told you to take that house." "Sarge." "Did you know they were in there." "How do I know where the krauts are." "They could be anywhere anyplace anytime." "They don't give me notice." "We were covering you." "You could have pinned yourself to the wall and tossed in a grenade." "Alright." "Round one is over." "Shrope is dead and we're right back where we started." "Alright." "We go again." "Nelson and Johnson try this time." "(Nelson exhales hard)" "Man." "Like the teacher said." "Keep on trying till you get it right." "Experience counts." "And you're very experienced with that little house." "Johnson." "A guy like Johnson." "What would happen if he cut out." "It's my worry." "Well." "My neck's involved." "That makes it mine too." "The only worry is that you don't cut out." "I"d make for the woods right now if I thought I'd get away with it." "You wouldn't get away with it." "Good to see such courage in the ranks." "Courage is for soldiers." "1 head." "All stuck together." "Littlejohn." "Cole." "Cover the big house." "The rest of you cover the little one." "Johnson:" "Billy Billy:" "Don't say anything."

"Round 2 is ours." "and I will cross the river." "Move in from the other side by the bridge." "Okay." "The rest of you keep 'em busy." "gotta tell you I can't swim. tried to teach me." "He he." "I guess the bad fairy stole my water wings." "Scott." "Can you swim." "I'd rather roller skate." "But I guess I can get across that river." "Okay." "Let's go." "Hey Scott." "Do you really take the worms out of that topsoil." "Sure." "Then you don't get rodents tearing up your lawn." "Wait a minute." "How do you get 'em out?" "You drive real fast down a rough road." "Pretty soon they get carsick and jump off the truck." "Each of you got 3 grenades." "Right?" "Take 'em out." "We'll tape them down into a cluster." "Like a bomb." "Sarge." "How do we approach the house?" "You'll see." "Well." "What do we do when we get there?" "You're not even sure yourself." "Are you?" "Alright Littlejohn." "Take it easy." "Are you just gonna sit there Johnson?" "You can stop firing." "Maybe we frightened them." "Yeah." "Probably hole up there until we rush 'em again." "Come on." "The Sarge told us to keep firing." "We're not going in." "Maybe we'll be sitting here the rest of the war." "You couldn't care much about this war one way or the other." "Do you?" "No." "Or anybody in it." "Last 6 months I been sending all my pay home." "The kicker that just put a down payment on a $1200 set of drums." "the works." "Yeah." "I applied for transfer to a band." "service bands." "The rest of you mouse breeders can follow your Sergeant till your legs drop off." "Look Kelly." "You use your rifle on those krauts or I'm gonna turn mine on you." "Now come on." "First we'll have to get to the base of that bridge without being spotted." "Crawl across the bridge?" "That depends on the angle from above." "We stay as close to the sidewall as we can." "They spot us out that side window they'll be on us like a rooster after a junebug." "They'll be watching the church." "Now get across the bridge and corner as close to the house as we can." "Then what?" "You and I rush them." "And they fall back." "I'll make that decision when the time comes." "Let's get on with it." "I'll toss my grenades in the upper right window." "Littlejohn." "You take the upper left." "Scott." "Take the lower corner." "Charge armed." "I go first." "134)}Blam!" "334)}Blam!" "365)}Blam!" "Scott!" "Oh my God." "What?" "What's wrong?" "Littlejohn." "Forward." "We gotta go forward." "We gotta get to that tank." "We can't go back." "Come on." "Forward." "Let's go." "Littlejohn." "Come on." "Come on." "I killed him." "They need help." "Cover us." "Big hero." "Big square." "I don't see you doing nothing." "You think I care if you get killed." "I just don't like the odds stacking up any more than they already are." "I'd take care of you myself." "They're breaking." "Hey." "Hold your fire." "Sarge." "I better get him back to the hospital right now." "Alright." "Take him back." "And get me some TNT." "I don't care what you do." "But get it for me." "Sarge." "Scott." "Is he" "Now you just forget about that." "Just forget it." "Let's go." "Come on." "What are you gonna to do with TNT." "Hellar?" "Look Sarge." "You can blow yourself to little pieces for all I care." "Only don't count on taking me with you." "Huh." "Hey Sarge." "I know you don't like this mess anymore than we do." "But we've had it." "Now Shrope's dead." "Scott's blown to bits." "Littlejohn's had it." "And my arm's about to fall off." "will you?" "Kirb." "You want me to tell the krauts." "You want me to tell the President of the United States." "Nobody cares." "Nobody cares and you want to know why." "Because they haven't got time." "Because everybody's fighting his.." "His own little slice of the war." "And this is our little slice." "Stinking bridge and a lousy river in a place we never heard of before." "Huh." "I don't see any reason for it." "Well then." "You better open your eyes and look around." "Hellar." "And if you don't know why.." "If you can't come up with a reason." "your whole life's been one big nothing." "Doc." "Did you see his face?" "Did you see what I did to him." "You see the way he was lying there at the bridge." "Yeah." "Well." "You're pretty bad." "There's no point in making it any worse." "Just lie back and take it easy." "Come on." "You couldn't see his face when he looked up at me." "He was so helpless." "So scared." "Okay." "Just take it easy." "We'll talk about it later." "Okay." "Littlejohn." "Lieutenant." "Lieutenant." "I gotta tell you." "out there..." "I bungled it." "Littlejohn." "He gonna be alright?" "Lieutenant." "We'll patch him up." "Maybe in a week or two he can go out and try it again." "Maybe this time he'll take one clean and easy." "No pain." "Just..." "First he's here." "Then he isn't." "This halfway stuff kinda slows down the war effort." "Alright now." "Take it easy." "Shrope was lucky." "Poor devil ran out and got his real quick." "At least he doesn't need any more explanations." "Shrope." "Anybody else?" "Scott." "then I crawled over him." "I crawled over him." "Sir." "They were working from the bridge." "Littlejohn tripped." "He couldn't help it." "It was my fault." "clumsy." "A kraut was shooting at you." "You couldn't help what happened." "Scott." "He was one of the nicest guys I ever met." "And he wasn't mad at anybody." "He'd..." "All he ever wanted to do was tell his stories of his and make people laugh." "And I had to.." "Take it easy." "You're bleeding." "I don't care." "I killed him Lieutenant." "I killed him." "Littlejohn." "You didn't kill Scott." "The krauts did." "The krauts killed Scott." "Not you." "Now where do you think you're going?" "Doc:" "I want a rifle." "Lieut:" "You what?" "I want to get in this shooting war." "I want a rifle." "Now I have had it up to here with bandages and aspirin." "I want a rifle." "You know that's impossible." "Why?" "Because of the rules." "I don't shoot anybody." "Nobody shoots me." "We are so civilized we even got rules to kill each other by." "Boy." "That's what I call organization." "Well." "Don't knock it." "Organization got us this far." "All the way from Normandy." "Now he does his job." "I do mine." "And you do yours." "That's fine Lieutenant." "But I'm beginning to think I'm gonna be all by myself when this thing is over." "Now the killing is getting way ahead of the fixing." "Alright." "Now maybe we'll all be dead before this is over." "But it won't be because we quit halfway through to hold a coffee clutch." "Him." "The boys outside." "And we'll be dead that much sooner." "You read me?" "Yes Sir." "I read you." "You sure?" "Yes Sir." "I'm sure." "Sir." "You carry that." "I'll take the TNT." "Yes Sir." "Littlejohn." "Here's your TNT." "Lieutenant?" "It's tight." "I can't spare you a man." "Can't Battalion send me anything?" "Nope." "Just supply trucks." "That's why we need the bridge." "2nd Battalion crossed the river on foot about a mile down." "They're hanging on by the skin of their teeth." "No supply trucks." "No Battalion." "That's about it." "You think setting a pole charge and blasting a door is gonna help much?" "Won't help at all." "Have to blast out a whole wall." "And have to pack TNT right under that foundation.." "Sergeant." "Hellar." "well." "You're pipe dreaming in Wolfstein Sarge." "I told you I can't swim." "There's some debris floating down the river." "We'll hang on to it and let the current carry us to the back of the house." "Don't you think there's less chance of detection if you go alone?" "if one of us gets picked off the other one could take over." "Sergeant." "Only why don't you tell the Lieutenant the real reason you want me alone." "Hellar?" "Alright." "I'd be glad to Sir." "this is a sucker's move." "That's why." "Scott's already been turned into hedge." "And I get under the Sergeant's skin." "Get to the point." "Lieutenant." "I don't sing Yankee Doodle and I don't love my brothers." "The way I see it I got no chance but to get myself killed in this here war." "That's enough." "Get back to your post." "You need him like you need a rock around your neck." "I'll go it alone." "Can I borrow your bayonet?" "Sure." "We'll wait here about 5 minutes." "And get back to Nelson and Johnson." "I'll keep it buttoned up for you." "we'll all rush." "When the wall goes." "What's going on over there?" "Are they dead?" "What's happening?" "Open fire." "Keep 'em busy." "Bringen Sie die Panzerfausti hier." "Panzerfaust." "400)}Boom" "Keep firing." "Get low." "174)}BOOM" "274)}Boom" "274)}BLAM" "Head on out." "Hans ." "Die Brücke." "Sprengen die Brücke." "Where's Hellar?" "347)}BOOM" "Cole." "Get Doc." "I hate you guys." "This stinking war." "1200 bucks worth of drums." "They'll rust in the attic." "Doesn't matter." "Nobody's in step anymore anyway." "You took the bridge Hellar." "Drop dead Sergeant." "The whole thing was just a big stupid interruption." "didn't you?" "Yeah." "I'll probably go to heaven." "I hate harps." "Subs by Jack T"
