"We have warm fires." "Pretty..." " Hold that." " Yes, sir." "Next time I want you to take the caps off." "Yes, sir." "German Frauleins like big strong bucks more than lollipops." "And we love lollipops." "She the one selling hoecakes and beer?" "Your brain's had a rough shuffle." "For the last time, muzzle that shit!" "Coming down!" " Let's go!" " Suppressing fire!" "Withdraw!" "Withdraw!" "Withdraw!" "Withdraw!" "Come on, Train!" "Come on, move!" "Go, go, go, go, go!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "George Company." "Request artillery to grids four, seven, nine and 1-6!"

"Oh, my God, it hurts." "Come on." "Come on." "Boy!" "Hey, boy!" "Hey!" "Boy." "You breathing'?" "Giant, you don't taste like chocolate." "Don't shoot." "Don't shoot." "You can't kill me." "I'm invisible!" "Come on, boy." "Come on." "Let's go." "Train!" "Train!" "Oh, no." "Where's Train?" "He ain't..." "He ain't make it." "That nigger's dumber than a dime." "You sent him over the hill?" " I ain't tell him to risk his life." " It's nobody's fault." "That boy was born over the hill." "Follow me." "Special delivery for the Führer." "Holy Mother of God." "Train!" "Train!" "Train, you damn fool!" "I thought you was dead!" "Told you he was going over the hill." "Oh, no." "The fuck is he..." "We wait here till dark, and then we cross back." "Good." "This shit is heavy as hell." "Bishop!" " Where you going?" " Y'all go on back across that river." "The only person with any luck around here is him." "Plus, he owe me $1,400." "That's the kind of money that can set me up for the rest of my life." "Even if the rest of my life is today." "To hell with this." "I'm up shit's creek." " Jesse Owens!" " Jack Johnson." "You go talk to your wife up there." "I never felt so lonesome in my whole life, Bishop." " I been dreaming a lot." " Yeah." "Nigga, I ain't really interested in your dreams." "I want my motherfucking money." "I got something's worth more than $1,400." "Better than black cat's bones." "Make you invisible." "Gives the strength of five people!" "I think your cheese done slid off your biscuit." "You never see me chalk the line for no white kid like you done." " You told me to!" " I didn't tell you to get us killed." "This uniform don't change nothing for us." "This is a white man's war, Train." "Negroes ain't got nothing to do with this." "This boy ain't got no life nohow." "Why he don't?" "Hmm?" "A life of goodness is not what these white folk has chosen for they children." "Look at me." "Good book says it, Proverbs 22:16." ""Raise up a child the way you want him to go, and he will not depart from it."" "Now, he's trained to hate." "Shit, his life ain't worth a dollar of Chinese money." "Listen here, Bishop." "This boy ain't done nothing to you." "Mm-hm." "You didn't want him before, did you?" " Where you goin', Sam Train?" " Hey, Stamps, we movin' or not?" "We hold here till night." "Me and Bishop'll take first watch." "Hector, you and Train take second." "Give the boy whatever first aid you got." "What'd you get us into now, Diesel?" "It's always something with you, big fella." "Here, you gonna need these." "Come on, kid." "Eat." "Eat." "Come on." "He won't take the medicine." "Go on, give it here." "You want some chocolate, boy?" "I wouldn't get attached." "He'll be dead in a week." "I ain't never been this close to a white person before, Hec." "Never even touched one." "Not even a dead one." "If this one dies, I'll give you a whistle as a consolation prize." " You really think he'll die?" " Why worry about it?" "We could all be dead in an hour anyway." "Why you always kissing that thing, Hec?" " Reminds me who my father is." " I don't need help remembering my pa." "His name's Chester." "Chester Train." "Let's give this kid some water." "Water." "Arturo?" "Can I ask you something?" "What you want, boy?" "Can you tell me who I am?" "Hector, you speak that Italian?" "What's he saying?" "He said, "Who am I?" But who's he talking to?" "Lord, I knew it!" "I could see it in his face!" "Look at him, Hec." "Shh!" "Quiet down." "Good God!" " He got the power!" " What power?" "God knows it." "In the olden days, everything could speak." " The trees, the birds." " Shh!" "If you could hear them things, then that mean you had it." "This boy's standing in the shadow of God, Hector." "Thank you, Jesus!" "Thank you for standing on Your holy righteous word, Lord!" "Hallelujah!" "Thank you, Jesus!" "As you were." " General Almond." " Colonel." "I have a photo you should see, sir." "Forget that a minute." "How bad are the numbers from yesterday?" " Bad, sir." " And Ike gets mad when he gives me waiters and shoeshine boys to fight the Krauts with." "Germans are dug in." "And that gun at La Spezia's killing us." "Fifteen thousand colored soldiers." "One in four is a casualty." "And all I'm hearing about is one goddamned gun?" "We have guns, too, here." "Look, see, colonel?" "I got one." "This colored division..." "This is an experiment, Jack." "An experiment." "These are the first lady Eleanor Roosevelt's niggers." "Not ours." " Sir, I respectfully disagree." " That's why they sent you here, Jack." "To lead me into the New World." "A gift from the Brits." "Taken at 11,000 feet." "See?" "That's a German buildup at Lama Di Sotto." "Two or three regiments." " Surprise attack you worried about?" " I hope not." "I got corroboration from a partisan." "Anybody crush grapes with feet can't be trusted." "Get some Krauts to confirm." "Already working on it, sir." "Captain Rudden!" " Good evening, general." " Come." "Germans may be planning counter- offensive down the Serchio Valley." "We need a POW to confirm." "You running patrols there?" "George Company has a squad sitting right in that area." " How?" " They pushed across the Serchio beyond Hill Maine at the weak point." "I heard them call for artillery." "Might've broken Jerry's hold on the river." "Captain Nokes didn't fire." " Why not?" " He couldn't see 'em, sir." "Didn't believe they crossed, they got hung up." "I had Fox Company positioned down the river from George Company." "Got pretty hot over there." "Four of 'em right up a mountain." "Got weapons and a radio if they're alive." " Who are the four men?" " Shouldn't be hard to find out." "One of them's the biggest Negro you've ever seen in your life." "Mmm." "Very well then." "Dismissed." "My God, I've had it." "Come on, it's enough." "Yeah, let's go." "I need something to eat." "The Germans are leaving!" "Push it up or I'll kill it right now." "I'm pushing as hard as I can." "Pull, pull, pull." "My goodness I'm hungry." "Finally something to chew on, rather than the slime they feed us." "Goodbye meat." "Now there'll be nothing left." "They won't get fat on it." "Let's hope they choke on it." "Shut up, the two of you!" "Now, let's see if your husband will come back from Russia." "Mary, Joseph, Jesus, tell us if we'll see him or never see him again." "Is he still alive?" "My eyes aren't what they used to be." "Come on!" "So, so, so?" "We can't even joke?" "Come on." "That thing is just a stupid kid's game." "You're the usual scoundrel!" "Just because he carries the Fascist Party card, he thinks he can do what he wants." "Oh yes?" "Then who was it who took butter from the Germans the other day?" "The Pope?" "Maybe, because it wasn't us." "And the light?" "How did your electricity come back on?" "Papa." "Come with me." "Come with me." "How did the light come back on?" "The truth will never come out of his mouth." "You would think that after all these years, you would treat your friends better." "What is wrong with you, Papa?" "Would you tell me?" "It's Natalina." "What did she do?" "She put the evil eye on me, that Witch." "You still going on about the same story?" "The Germans stole your rabbits, not her." "There's strange things going on." "My electricity returned... from God knows where after two and a half years." "I was going to ask you about that." "Now I'm lit up like a carnival... for every bandit and German to see." "It's Natalina's fault." "She wants to see me dead and buried behind the Church." "What are you talking about?" "She prays for you every day." "Know what I say?" "You go back in there and apologize to your friends." "Tell everyone that Mussolini disgusts you, and that you are not a Fascist anymore." "Il Duce made us a world power again." "His only mistake was to get in bed with that imbecile Hitler." "Papa, II Duce betrayed Italy." "And now you'll see how this is going to end." "You are still so young, my child." "You don't know the ways of the world." "But you will learn." "And from whom?" "From a Fascist like you?" "You're just like your mother." "And she used to tell you that Blackshirts are only good for hiding dirt." "Okay, let's go." "Germans!" "It's your house." "Holy Mother of God." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay, it's okay." "Hector, ask who's in charge." "Tell them we're Americans." "Americans?" "Me, too." "Half." "Half." "Me sister Ida, half." "We called her little Ida, because she was the baby." "Put us together, we make one American." "Okay, wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Thank you." "Who's in charge here?" "Anybody here speak English?" "Where are the Germans?" "Everywhere." "Boom, boom." "My name is Renata." " Where'd you learn English?" " I was nanny for a British family." "And a jolly good tuck-in-the-bed tinkerer you must be." " You can nanny me." "Want a Camel?" " Cool it, Bishop." "I'm Staff Sergeant Aubrey Stamps." "We got a boy that needs help." "A boy?" "He has a boy." "Oh, my God." "Is he alive?" "Put him here." "Slow." "Slowly." "Where did you find him?" "On the Mountain." "Do you know him?" "No, I don't know him." "But he can stay here until he gets better." "Tell them we're taking the boy to a hospital." "They can come." "They need to evacuate." "We'll escort them down the mountain." "We're going to a hospital." "You can come with us." "The hospital around the corner?" "The Germans are everywhere." "Torrite, Rontano, Mezzana." "All the way to Barga and down to the Serchio." "I don't know how you got past Vergemoli." "The only way to Pietrasanta... where the Americans might be... is over that way," "over the Mountain of the Sleeping Man." "Says we're surrounded." "Doesn't know how we got past German lines, but the only way we might find some Americans is up there." " The Mountain of the Sleeping Man." " Sleeping Man?" " What is that?" " It's a legend." "A shepherd fell in love with a girl who would not love him back." "So he lays across the Mountain... to protect her from the wind and rain." "He still lies there today, to protect us all." "Legend has it that one day he will awaken." "A legend about a shepherd that fell in love..." "Whatever she's saying, we gotta rest until sunup." " OK." " Stay here?" "No, no." "Stay here." "Si, si." "If they sing to the Krauts, we will pull a trigger on this and tell the hammer to hurry." "Won't be nothing but powder and steel here." "We are not Germans." "We are Italians." " Full blood." " And what are we?" "Half blood?" "We should take him... and put him to bed." "The boy stays here." "He's sick." "Heil Hitler!" "Catching up on your reading?" "Yes, Colonel, I'm informing myself about the enemy." "The Partisans often take their names from banned poetry and literature." "This helps us identify them." "Who is the poet?" "Giovanni Pascoli." "Do you think it's appropriate to waste your time reading poetry?" "In the past nine months we've seen a sharp rise in Partisan activity." "What are you planning to do about it?" "Colonel, we are down to shovels and mule shit." "My men are exhausted." "We need ammo and food." "Food?" "You want food?" "You can suck icicles in Russia... like you did before your so-called neck wound brought you back here." "You think you're the first to command hungry troops?" "I mean no disrespect, Colonel." "Good." "Listen closely." "I have come too far to repeat myself." "First, there is a peasant, a terrorist." "Named The Great Butterfly." "He's causing many problems." "He's hiding in these mountains." "Find him." "When he is found, issue Directive Bandenbefehl... to him and his criminal friends." "Bandenbefehl?" "Is there an echo out here?" "General Kesselring's standing field order for the Italian Republic." "At a commander's sole discretion, for every one German soldier killed, we execute ten Italian civilians." "You should have been capable to execute that order at least once in nine months." "Colonel, with all due respect, if I execute this order... my men would kill innocent civilians." "It would be a violation of the Geneva Convention." "Partisans are not civilians;" "they are terrorists." "They are not protected under the Geneva Convention." "Bandenbefehl!" "Bandenbefehl." "Secondly, the surprise counterattack is still planned." "I will tighten supply lines with food and ammunition." "And three:" "A delicate intelligence matter of the utmost priority." "We are missing a Corporal... from the 35th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 5th Company." "Name:" "Hans Brandt, gone AWOL three weeks ago." "We have some every day." "What's so special about him?" "You and I are not here... to question the Führer's orders." "You are to send out a search party." "Find him." "Don't let him escape." "And when you have him... get word to me immediately." "Let's go!" "IfI amno longer that lamp... which flickers in front of a sweet Maria." "What does that mean?" "God help this poor bastard Brandt." "Whatever he's done, it's no worse than what anyone else has done in this war." "Mount a search party." "We have to find him first, hold him and give him a few days... before Pflueger pulls out his teeth, one by one." "Yes." "I'll be relieved when this war is over." "I want to return to my family."

"You?" "I always have Marco's face in front of my eyes." "Don't worry about that." "My brother is dead." "Nobody cares about him any more." "I care." "In your opinion... when we will be in front of God, if we ever get there, is he going to ask us for our political card?" "Is he going to say, "Marco, no..." "Ludovico, no." "You're not allowed in because you're Fascists."" "What's the difference between us and them in the eyes of God?" "You're asking yourself too many questions."

"Ain't no difference in us, really." "No, we're just different where it counts." "That's all." " What do you mean?" " Renata, baby, let me put it to you this way." "If you ever, ever been colored on a Harlem Saturday night, girl, you wouldn't wanna be nothing else." "What does that mean?" "Mm-hm." " You should let me show you." " Why you spreading foolishness?" " Where are you going?" " It smells in here." "You smoke, baby?" "How about just one?" "They're Camels." "Americano cigarettos." "Filterless." "Smooth taste." "Great value." "Go on, girl."

"You ought not use them type of bad words around the boy, Bishop." "Shit." "He don't understand." "Go on inside, boy." "Go on." "How about all that preachin' you do back home, Bishop?" "Don't you believe in God?" "Well, now, I believes in it at the time I'm preachin' it." "Then I don't believe in it no more." "Hell, now I just believe in the pictures of old white men on green paper." "Well, that ain't no way to live." "You know, God don't like ugly, Bishop." "He ain't too fond of pretty, either." "Train, why you think..." "Why you think God allow all this killin' all over the world to happen?" "Hmm?" "See?" "See, that's why I don't believe in him." "Well, if you don't believe in him, Bishop Cummings, then why you care about whether or not God the one allowing' all the killin'?" "Man..." "Man, you startin' to sound like my mama now." "Your mama alive, Bishop?" "Train, mind your own goddamn business, boy." "You hear me?" "Yeah, I'm sorry, buddy." "I didn't, uh..." "I didn't mean nothin' by it, Bishop." "Is your God gonna get us back home?" "In one piece?" "Is he?" "If the Lord is willin' and the creek don't rise." "Hey, Renata." " Where you headed?" " Your boss wants you." "Nah." "Nah, no boss, OK?" "Girl, let me trim your garden." "What do you mean?" "Signora, shakin' hands with you is like touchin' a flamethrower." "You fine as wine and as silk as milk." "You like dancin'?" "You like jazz?" " You ever heard of Count Basie?" " Count of Basie?" "Where is this?" "Mm-hm." "Want a Camel cigarette?" "Come in." "You didn't know that the Germans raised the price on your head." "From 50,000 lire to 100,000 lire... and a bag of salt." "Not bad!" "But you saw, no one from the village turned you in." "Not even the Fascist Ludovico... who's so stingy he keeps his money in his underpants." "Not even Ludovico?" "Not even Ludovico." "If they only knew who I am, what I've done," "they'd pull my heart out of my chest." "Peppi." "What's tormenting you so much?" "We surprised a German Patrol..." "My little son Robert loves the rain." "My little Anna hates it." "Shut up you two!" "Yes, Sir." "Where are you going?" "Where are you going?" "I'll slaughter you." "Do you hear me?"

"At least I can give her food." "Take this." "This money is stained with blood." "We're suppose to catch the thieves... not become them." "Let's not start a war between ourselves." "What's that got to do with it?" "I gave you three years of blood." "To Italy and to him." "Three years of blood." "You're a Fascist and you'll always be one, like Marco." "Here." "Take your money and go home." "I will take it home." "I will take it." "Go, go, go." "Go!" "It's finished here." "You'll pay for this." "The Germans were blinded by rage." "We had been attacking them for months." "They were furious." "They combed the mountains looking for us." "We had to hide." "We could have starved to death." "Nobody there." "A fellow Partisan saved us." "Paselli was her name." "She was the one who told me what happened at St. Anna di Stazzema." " Eat." " Thank you." "I had sent the others to Serravezza." "I had to meet one of our men who had gone to look for supplies." "But then, because of the storm, I had to stay in the mountains." "They marched into St. Anna." "They gathered hundreds of people," " women, - children, children and old people." "There were also refugees." "They grouped them in the Square." "In front of the Church." "One of you... knows... where he is." "One of you... has seen... him." "So... speak." "Everyone's quiet." "They don't know anything." "They're innocent." "They don't know anything."

" Yes, Sir..." "There are orders from headquarters." "Yes?" "It will be done." "Father." "Forgive them... for they know not what they do." "They... killed so many," "that they ran out of ammunition." "They burnt so many... they ran out of fuel." "What has happened here... everything that's happened... is your fault." "You promised to bring The Butterfly." " He told me he would be here." " No." "No." "I don't care!" " I know these people." " You will pay for this!" "They have nothing to do with it." "Rodolfo, we had a deal." "No, I kept my deal." "I brought him here." "But you promised me, my dear Rodolfo." "You Italians don't know how to keep a deal." "I betrayed my people." "I'll burn in Hell because of you." "You worthless Italians." "You will pay for this!" "All of you Italians will pay for this!" "Mama!" "Mama!" "Mama!" "Arturo!" "Arturo!" "No!" "No!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Run!" "Run!" "Run!" "Run!" "Child murderer!" "Bloody traitor!" "Come on!" "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "Bring him back!" "Go!" "Finish him!" "Kill him!" "Move, move." "We can't go back without him." "Where's that swine?" "Over there." "Even if I live a hundred years..." "I've been dead from that day on." "Peppi." "You need a lot more courage to live than to die." "But listen to me." "You have to accept the truth." "Someone betrayed you." "And you have to find the traitor." "Only thing I know..." "The Germans were wrong to provoke The Sleeping Man." "Because, you'll see..." "In the end, he'll protect us." "He'll protect his land." "I'm done." "I shit on Hitler's mother." "If I were in San Juan, I'd eat a good plate of rice and beans." "And a sweetie pie for dessert." "Who is he?" "I'll meet that swine... in Hell." "I don't understand." "No, no, no." "Come on." "Where's the German?" "The Americans took him and they kicked me out." "I told you so." "We have to get out of here right away." "It's full of Germans making their way down The Sleeping Man." "The Germans have lost, everyone knows." "What are you talking about?" "He who made the mistake must pay." "Rodolfo..." "Ludovico's not the traitor anyway." "We'll find him." "Trust me." "Do you remember the time... when Marco spent the week staring at the Mountain... convinced that The Sleeping Man would awaken?" "And how my mother yelled at him!" "Of course I remember." "Sleep." "Sleep." "Marco's dead." "I killed him." "In a firefight with his Fascist comrades." "He would've done the same to me!" "Because we're Partisans." "There's nothing left to see here." "Peppi..." "Listen, if someone commits a sin... a big sin... and then he repents... and confesses." "do you think he'll go to Hell?" "I don't know." "I'm not a Priest." "What have you become?" "I don't recognize you anymore." "You are here rationalizing." "Always talking about my dead brother." "What do you want from me?" "Do you want to know who betrayed you at St. Anna?" "We should have kept the German instead of giving him to the Americans." "Maybe we'd have discovered that he can speak Italian." "Maybe he would have spoke of you." "We've known each other a lifetime, and you think it was me?" "This is war, Peppi." "And in war people suffer; people die!" "So, do you think the people at St. Anna had to die because this is war?" "I didn't say that!" "I trusted you." "It was you that I had to meet to get supplies." "It was you who suggested St. Anna was a safe place." "What did you want to do?" "Did you want revenge because I killed your brother?" "For the last time..." "You should've told me, then I would have let them only kill me." "Stop talking about my dead brother." "You killed him!" "Hundreds of innocent people." "You sent me to Hell..." "Bastard!" "Bastard!" "Stamps!" "Stamps!" " We got problems." " Where you been?" "Where's the Jerry?" "That son of a bitch Rodolfo slit his throat." "Then he killed Peppi." " What happened to your neck?" " He tried to kill me." " He was no good." " Roll before the heavy mail comes." "Go get a bandage." "Go get your radio." "Bishop!" "Where's your weapon?" "I'm here." " Where's Siegfried?" " The Italian killed him." "No shit?" "Nokes still comin', ain't he?" "Get your gear, get to Old Man Loody's house on the double." "Hadn't sent that doofus over, we wouldn't be here." "I ain't send that dense nigga no place." "Bullshit." "What you done is worse." "Beat the man out of the 1,400 chips." "That tight pussy was on its own so long it needed to be adopted." "Talk!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll make you swallow that gold tooth!" " Hey!" "Get off him!" " What?" "I said get off!" "Nokes is here!" " Nokes is here!" " Get off me!" "Kill yourselves on your own time." "Hey, boys." "Which one of you's Stamps?" " Sir." " Did ya get that goddamn Kraut fucker?" " Captain..." " I don't wanna hear shit other than how the fuck you ended up miles on the wrong side of this goddamn valley." "Kraut's around the corner there." "Birdsong, find out what his problem is while I go get the goose-stepper." "Stamps, you got two minutes to get your balls out of a sling." " Get rid of that kid." " I've been trying to, sir." "But I guess he don't wanna let me go." "He's a nice little fella." " Ain't he cute?" " I said get rid of him." "I don't know what to do with him, sir." "I ain't gonna leave him." "So I figure to take him along." "He don't talk much, but he do tap." "See here?" "Watch this here." " I do this, and then..." " What the fuck is wrong with you?" "Spent two days risking our asses gettin' here for you." "It's good men, white men in this man's army holding back that attack, and you gonna talk to me about some damn dago wop kid?" " I feel sorry for him, sir." " You feel sorry for him?" "OK." "OK, button up, get in the Jeep, and let's get the fuck out of here." "Ain't no cause for that kind of talk in front of no child, sir." "You ain't got to make him cry now, sir." " No." " Cool it, Diesel." "Nobody gonna talk to my boy like that." "Cussin' and thumpin' and yellin' and carrying' on." "Spittin'." " Easy, big fella." " He's a child, sir." "Sir." "Sir." "Train got a mind of his own." "It was my idea to bring the kid." "We got him down at the Serchio River." "The fact is the kid won't leave us." "I told Train to take him." "Mm-hm." "You handle your men." "Move." " Captain Nokes got a filthy mouth." " Come here." " Renata." " Come here!" "Train." "Give the kid to Loosey-Goosey." "She'll do a fine job." " She ain't his mama." " I know, but you gotta give him up." "She don't know him good as I do." "I got a granny back home who'll raise him right." " Train, give him to me." "Please." " Sarge." "Come here." "Come to me." " He don't wanna go." " Come to me, please." "This some kind of fuckin' minstrel show?" "Move!" "Get out of my goddamn way!" "Get out of my goddamn way!" "Move!" "This Kraut fucker's dead!" "From the crew cut down." "How did he get that way?" "I guess somebody killed him, sir." "I can see that, Staff Sergeant Stamps." "But how did he get killed?" " Didn't you put a man on him?" " I did." " The Partisan killed him." " Dropped the ball!" "You dropped the fuckin' ball!" "You fucked up big time." "Now, all four of you gonna be court-martialed." "One, two, three and four." "Sir, we gotta pull out now." "Now, you load up, soldier." "About this child?" "If I could just get a word with you about..." "For the last time, soldier." "I told you to get in that goddamn Jeep." "Ain't no need to shoot the man over no child." "We can take him to headquarters." "We got room." "Yeah." "Ain't no trouble." "We can take the kid." "Lieutenant Birdsong, you take that goddamn kid." " Huh?" " You heard me." "Don't make it tough on me, big fella." "You better not come no closer." "Wouldn't do that, sir." " Choke him, Train!" " Train, for God's sake!" " Choke that tar." " Put him down." "Soldier, put him down!" "He's had enough." "Put him down." "Choke the shit out of that fucker!" "Put him down right this second!" "Chocolate Giant!" "The Sleeping Man." " Diesel, you're killing 'im." " Put him down!" "Leave him be, Stamps." "That's right, big fella." " Birdsong!" "Son, you OK?" " Crazy black bastard!" " Come here." " Help me get him." "Get back." "Get back." "Let me take him." " I'll see you again, Stamps." " I hope so." " Come on!" " Let's move out!" "Let's go!" "Come on." "Let's move out." "It's the Germans!" "Natalina!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!"

"Bishop!" "Train!" "Forward!" "Forward!" "Spread out!" "Move!" "Spread out!" "Forward." "Be alert." "Jesus Lord, Bishop, I can't move my head." " Is my boy livin'?" " Yeah." "Is he living'?" "He just got a little scratch, but he gonna be OK." "That's good." "That's good." "Tell Hector to put that little old cross on him." " Let him know who his daddy is." " OK." "Here." "Take this." "Uh-huh." "You seen it the whole time, didn't you, Bishop?" "I knew it." "I knew it..." "Train, I'm gonna take this kid, and I'm gonna come back for you." "I'm gonna come right back for you." "All right." "I'll be right here." "Liberty!" "I'm gonna come right back for you." "Damn!" "Forward!" "Train." "Bishop!" "Bishop!" "Bishop!" "Move, move, move." "Lock down the village." "Move!"
