"One night in pig alley... excuse me." "Because you're going to think you're the caliph of Baghdad!" "You guys talk about Piccadilly circus."

"Oh, Pop can't go on account of his arthritis." "I love you, Roderigues, I love all of you, but I'm getting me a private room and bath in Paris if I have to get it at the point of a gun."

"I got a report from the red cross that my wife is too sick to take care of the kids." "So I let them talk me into accepting a dependency discharge." "Glad you made it, Pop." "Who's going to adopt Roderigues?" "He'd be lost without his Popsy-wopsy." "One of these days, you're going to get a GI bootsy-wootsy right square in those GI teeth." "Such language." "You should have learned him better manners, Pop." "Oh, knock it off, will ya!" "When do you leave, Pop?" "Oh, any day now." "I just have to sweat out a letter of confirmation from a higher headquarters." "Hey, you'll be in Paris." "No." "I decided to catch that football game." "Oh, that's swell."

"Leave your cots and grab your socks!" "Let's go, men!" "You're slow, men!" "Get up, Wolowicz!" "I ain't goin' to Paris." "Nobody's going!" "We're moving up..." "On trucks!" "Moving up?" "Where to?" "Beats me." "The krauts made a breakthrough someplace." "They tell me it's going to be cold, so wear your long Johns and 2 pairs of pants." "3 if you can get 'em on."

"This is for the birds, brother, strictly for the birds." "Beats anything ever I stuck my finger in before." "General, I need a crack division to plug up that gap." "A crack division, General?" "I'd be honored if you'd use the 101st." "Awfully nice of you." "Thanks a lot." "Not at all!" "Not at all!" "Pop." "Hmm?" "Maybe the adjutant can put in a phone call." "Yeah!"

"Let's get this show on the road." "That the new platoon leader?" "Yeah." "Fresh off the boat." "I understand your problems, men." "I used to be an enlisted man myself." "For 6 months maybe." "Then 17 weeks at OCS and he's an officer and gentleman by special act of congress." "Sound off!" "Ah, shut up!" "Quel est le nom de Ce village?" "Marquigny-la-sabotterie en Ardennes!"

"I don't smoke, but thanks, anyway." "Thanks a lot." "What time is it, Hansan?" "11:30." "What?" "It can't be that late." "We left at 2:00." "11:30 A.M. central standard time." "Near lunchtime in Springfield." "You never changed your watch?" "What's the use of changing your watch?" "What's the use?" "You're here, not in Springfield, Illinois." "I hear you." "This is what I like about the infantry." "You always know just what's going on." "How do you like this guy?" "He don't like the infantry." "He never had it so good." "He found a home in the army." "Chewing gum?" "Cigarette for mama?" "Cigarette for mama?" "Chewing gum?" "Cigarette for mama?" "Chocolate, please." "Ha ha!" "Isn't she cute?" "Chewing gum?" "Cigarette for mama?" "Chewing gum?" "Here." "Cigarette for mama?" "Woo-hoo!" "Get a load of mama!" "Woo-hoo!" "I'd like to keep her in chocolate for a week!" "What's she saying, Jarvess?" "She wants to know if we'd like to come inside and warm up." "Yes." "Warm up, please." "Oh, brother!" ""Welcome to the 101st Airborne Division."" "I like these secret moves." "Yeah." "We slipped one over on the krauts." "How do they find out?" "Who tells them?" "I keep them posted." "Short wave." "Somebody does." "They occupied France for 4 years." "They left a few spies when they pulled out." "That's an idea." "Why don't us GI's hire some spies so we'll know what's going on?" "Get them inside!" "Get them inside!" "Get them inside!" "Come on!" "Get them inside!" "On the double!" "Allez manger vos bonbons." "Allez, mes cheries." "Allez manger vos bonbons." "Hey, Kinnie, how about getting these men in out of the hot sun?"

"Hey, Pop, I hear we're bedding down here." "Overnight?" "Yeah." "Looks like a good house, too." "Smoke coming out the chimney." "Well, for once, we get a break." "Bastogne."

"Hey, Wolowicz, are you absolutely sure?" "Yeah." "The C.O. told us himself." "Hey, Denise." "Oui?" "Wake me up early, will you?" "Oh, peut-être." "I ought to report this to the inspector general." "There should be 18 inches between bunks." "This is dangerous, spreads germs." "There's some hot coffee on the stove." "Oh, I can use it." "Don't worry about that plane." "It's one of ours..." "I think." "Halt." "Password." "Hamburgers." "Onions." "I thought the 101st was the only division here." "They will be as soon as the rest of us can get out." "What's up?" "We were to the east." "Been there for weeks without firing a shot." "Then they started coming." "Tanks, planes, everything you ever heard of and then some." "A Jerry plane turned on a loudspeaker in English."

"She came there to see you." "Did you phone your kids long-distance?" "Yeah." "Just before we shipped out." "Why?" "What did that cost?" "A couple of bucks for 3 minutes." "Why, Johnny?" "Well, I was thinking." "It's probably about as far from New York to Wichita, where your kids were, as it is from Wichita to Los Angeles, where my folks are." "And when you get back home, what would that be, about 200 francs?" "I'll send you a bill, Johnny." "Tell them that I..." "Well, you'll think of something." "If it runs over 3 minutes, it's ok."

""Our changing times, by Mrs. Donald Jarvess," ""pinch-hitting for your favorite columnist" ""and her favorite husband, now on active duty, U.S. army." Hmm." "You knew I worked on a newspaper." "Yeah, but a column?" "You must be pretty good." "I was too good." "I wrote a piece about the real meaning of the war, the fight against fascism, why every American had to help." "The logic was magnificent." "You couldn't resist it." "The next thing I knew, I was on a troop train, waving bye-bye to my wife." "Came the dawn, huh?" "Yeah." "Only one thing gets me." "When you work on a newspaper," "I'd get those wire releases and know I was the first person in town who had the news." "All the news." "I'll guarantee you my wife knows what's going on in Bastogne." "All I know is what's happening to the second squad in the third platoon of I company." "Watch this one." "Strike!" "Can't hit them if you can't see them." "Now..." "The count's three and two."

"Hi, fellas." "What's the situation, Lieutenant?" "Nothing but pine trees." "I guess our mission's accomplished." "Courtesy of K company." "Tell them to stop worrying about this area." "Them and us both, Lieutenant." "Thanks." "Well, I guess we might as well partie, huh?" "So long." "So long, fellas." "Come on." "On the double." "They're krauts!" "Feuer weiter!" "Neuer gurt!" "Vorsicht!" "Psst!" "Psst!" "Ohh!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Hey!" "Tanks!" "Kraut tanks!" "No!" "Take off, will you?" "If they think we're getting away, maybe I've got a chance." "We'll send a patrol back." "Langsam." "Langsam." "Leise." "Don't forget the sulfa powder." "Go on." "Get in there." "Let's go." "Sie sind alle drei entwischt." "Durch's haus." "Mir nach." "You're sure they were enemy tanks?" "We saw them, Lieutenant." "Think we've got enough antitank grenades?" "We ain't got any." "Mind if I make a suggestion," "Lieutenant?" "What?" "Our usual defense against tanks is to call for artillery and then run like a Jack rabbit." "We've got orders to hold these positions." "Well, let's call for artillery and keep our heads down." "We could send out some bazooka men..." "If we had any bazookas." "Put in a call for artillery." "Yes, sir." "What a break." "Artillery's got that farmhouse zeroed in." "Concentration one seven." "Item 3 to item." "Kraut tanks by burning farmhouse." "Concentration one seven." "One seven." "Roger." "Start the fireworks." "That's great." "Artillery can't miss." "They've got Roderigues to use for an aiming stick." "Tell Wolowicz to send out for Roderigues when this barrage lifts." "With what, a sponge?" "I've got to get me a rifle." "Any extra ones?" "No." "No casualties." "A rifle's waiting for you." "Your squad sent for the meat wagon." "Who was hit?" "Wolowicz." "Is he bad?" "A shell landed right on the edge of his foxhole." "His shoulder's like a sieve." "Where's your steel pot, soldier?" "I lost it, Sergeant." "You can try mine on for size." "Sergeant..." "You're in charge now." "Leadership." "That's what I got." "Where's Roderigues?" "Oh, he'll be along, Pop." "Should have wore my shoulder pads, huh?" "In a couple of months, you'll be flipping those forward passes good as ever." "Yeah." "Left-handed." "He's a good man, Holley." "But still a little jumpy." "He can move in with me." "You could do worse." "He sleeps warm and quiet." "His name's Layton." "Jim Layton." "So long, Wolowicz." "Say hello to Standiferd." "Hansan, you can move in with Pop." "What about Roderigues?" "Is that incoming mail?" "No." "It's outgoing." "There will be more of it." "What time is it, Hansan?" "10:30." "No. 11:30 here." "Where's Roderigues?" "Let's take a walk, huh, Pop?" "Holley!" "Hey, Holley!" "How much longer will they leave him out there?" "Let's partie." "We can carry him back in this blanket." "I want 3 volunteers." "3 volunteers!" "It's a long walk, Pop." "I need a fourth for bridge." "I'll be the dummy." "You don't have to, Layton." "Maybe you'll find some more eggs." "What are you looking for, Kipp, your discharge?" "I lost my teeth." "They was hurtin' me on the road, so I put them in my pocket." "And they jumped out?" "Dropped out!" "I hope it's nice and warm back where you're going." "I can't chew on K rations with my gums." "Johnny!" "Hey, Johnny!" "No!" "No!" "Keep your eye open!" "He used to see snow..."

"Skip the commercial, Jarvess." ""Air activity was halted by thick, swirling fog."" ""At Bastogne, 101st Airborne..."" "Hey, that's us." "Men, you'll be proud to know that you are making an heroic stand, hurling back the best that Von Rundstedt can throw at you." "Who's Von Rundstedt?" "A kraut general." "The best they've got." "Is the 101st the only division up here?" "It doesn't say." "We'll have to wait." "Where's Pop Stazak?" "Him and Hansan are on a roadblock." "Well, this might be it." "It looks official." "Chatsburg News." "Chatsburg News." "Chatsburg News." "Ah!" "And The Dogpatch Gazette." "You ought to get back to the aid station, Kinnie, before those feet of yours get any worse." "They won't take frozen feet unless they've started to change color." "No combat fatigue, no fever cases." "You have to be bleeding from a wound." "All they got at the aid station is aspirin and iodine." "What about the field hospital?" "Captured." "Medics, casualties, equipment, the works." "It must have been after Wolowicz got there." "I guess Standiferd was there, too." "Some of the walking wounded were killed." "They say the fight they put up was one for the book." "Hey, Layton!" "You're learning too fast." "How about spelling me for a bit?" "Oh, the dreams are getting better all the time." "I was back home in Baltimore... loading up on hard-shell crabs and beer." "That dream's against regulation, soldier." "You know what our boys overseas always dream about." "Mom's blueberry pie." "Why, certainly!" "That's what we're fighting for!" "Boy, when I get home, just give me a hot dog and a slice of that pie!" "Am I gonna kick if I don't get my job back?" "No, siree." "All I want is a..." "So long, Holley!" "So long, Pop!" "Au revoir!" "I found them!" "I found them!" "I found them in another pocket!" "You're just in time to work Pop's shift!" "Go up and get Hansan." "Where you going?" "Special orders number 1437:" ""Private Ernest J. Stazak will proceed to Paris, where transportation to the U.S. will be arranged."" "Relax, chum." "You ain't goin' no place." "I ain't?" "Here." "Read it yourself." "I don't care what it says!" "Nobody's leaving Bastogne, and nobody's coming in, except maybe some krauts riding tanks." "We're surrounded!" "Surrounded?" "Kipp, if this is one of your crummy jokes," "I'll knock those GI teeth right down your throat." "Take it easy, Pop!" "Take it easy!" "He wouldn't have those teeth in if there was any way out!" "Tough break, Pop." "I can get them in a lot of trouble for this." "It's against the rules of war to shoot at civilians." "I'm sorry, Kipp." "Them poor devils in the foot-slogging infantry." "Nothing but walk, walk, walk." "The airborne, that's the life." "It's great up here in these gliders, drifting along over the clouds." "They're liable to have you up in juvenile court for smoking." "This your first time away from home, Layton?" "Basic training was." "That wasn't quite the same." "My folks stayed for a while at a town near camp." "Mama rubbed your little footsies after those nasty 20-mile hikes, hmm?" "Uh-huh." "She made me brush my teeth twice a day so I wouldn't have to have them all pulled out." "Ha ha!" "Hey, look at that!" "What?" "I thought it was a shadow." "It's just some burnt-out powder." "You'll die of old age before you see a shadow around here." "This fog ain't never gonna lift." "Do the planes have to wait?" "Haven't they ever heard of flying blind?" "Nobody cares." "They just don't care." "I don't believe that, Kipp." "Reverend Layton will now lead us in prayer." "Might not be a bad idea." "The C.O. says to dig in at that railroad embankment." "The rest of the company's moving back 500 yards." "Right." "Third platoon." "Whenever there's a dirty detail." "Let's go, men!" "On your feet!" "Check your rifles, see if they're froze up!" "Listen to Holley, making a noise like a sergeant." "He's GI now since he took over the squad." "Right on the ball." "Yeah." "Strictly chicken, that's me." "Let's be checking those bolts." "Check your rifles."

"Why can't they pass down some information?" "If a man gets hit, he must at least know what country he's dying in." "Now, that's for sure." "That's for dang sure." "Abner, I've asked you 800 times..." "I won't say that no more." "That's for sure." "Can't see them." "Bleibt in deckung!" "Geht hinter die baeume!" "Maschinengewehre vor!" "Maschinengewehre vor!"

"Layton, you and Joe check them for maps and papers." "See if any of them are still kicking!" "Mach schnell!" "Sani." "Get the prisoners and wounded back to Bastogne, Sergeant." "See if we've got enough men left, Holley." "I'm going to put this man in for a Silver Star." "A guy ought to be able to get 100 bucks for this back in Paris." "I thought Holley was running away." "That's why I ran after him." "How do you know what Holley was thinking?" "How do you know if he was thinking at all?" "Things just happen, then afterwards, you figure out why you acted the way you did." "I know why I ran." "I was scared to death." "You just joined the biggest club in the army." "Everybody belongs." "Just drop me off at the psycho ward." "Why did I have to get up and start firing?" "It's a good thing somebody did." "It didn't have to be me, a volunteer." "It happened so fast you had no time to look at your watch." "Sure forgot what time it was in Springfield." "Hansan, I hate to ask you..." "You can have it." "Let's get out of here, chum." "Hey, Pop!" "Pop!" "Thanks, Pop." "I'll drop back later." "Just don't get carried back." "Say, miss." "How about giving him a shot?" "Pardon?" "Morphine." "Him." "Ah, non." "Il n'y a plus de morphine." "No more morphine, huh?" "That's great." "Merci beau..." "She pours him one more," "I'm going out to get myself shot." "Ah, they're way too big." "I wished we'd found them yesterday." "Hmm." "Let's go, men." "Chow!" "What?" "You heard me, hot chow!" "Wahoo!" "And I've been pulling KP ever since." "We was bombed out twice." "I'm telling you, I never saw so much incoming mail." "Yeah, things are getting rough all over." "Well, I wanted to go back on the line." "They're short-handed in the kitchen, see?" "A couple more KPs got hit this morning." "I wouldn't mind a little action for a change." "How about you and me switching?" "Oh, no." "They'd never let me go." "I've been learning how to cook." "Hey, Bettis, anything left?" "No." "But it's clean." "It's only leftovers." "I don't even see those things." "Well, I want to see them!" "I want to remember them!" "We'll start back in about an hour." "Better stick around this area." "Hey, where's the kid?" "Who, Layton?" "He's in the barn, I guess, putting on those dry clothes." "Bettis, how about breaking loose with a bottle of cognac?" "We ain't got any." "I'll settle for some hot water to wash my feet in." "Coming right up." "Hey, Bettis." "You got any trading material?" "The belly robber keeps everything locked in the cellar, but there's a half a loaf of bread you can have." "Oh, a half a loaf is..." "Where is it?" "I could have swore it was on that table." "Denise!" "Bonjour!" "Hello, soldier." "Pull up a chair, Holley." "Today, you are a man." "Now, this is Antwerp up here." "To the north and the east are the British and the Canadians." "Down here at Belfort, over 300 miles away, is the French first army." "The Americans are stretched out all the way in between." "If the supply line to Antwerp is cut, 20 allied divisions will be out on a limb." "Where's Bastogne?" "Here." "This is where the krauts found a soft spot in our line." "You see why Bastogne is so important." "It's at the main intersection of seven main highways, one of them leading straight to Antwerp." "If we can hold out." "Hey, that sounds like ours!" "It is ours!" "Can't see a thing." "The kind of supplies they've got to drop, we wouldn't want:" "a crate of eggs for Berlin." "If bombers can get through, why can't C-47s?" "In this pea soup?" "They're flying way over it, you know that." "The air corps." "London this morning, Berlin this afternoon." "Headlines tomorrow." "Come on back!" "It's getting lonesome here!" "Nobody cares." "They just don't care." "You can say that again." "Hey!" "Psst!" "I thought they had us surrounded." "Halt!" "Was wollen sie?" "I speak English." "Who is here in command?" "I am here in command." "We have a message for the commanding general." "I'll get a jeep and take the officers back." "Blindfold them." "Kommen sie hier!" "Try it again, Jarvess." "Du!" "Was gibt es hier?" "Sprechen sie!" "Gefreiter Berthold Jochman." "All I can get out of them is their name and rank." "Loosen up, chum." "Give us the low-down." "You can talk now." "Hitler kaputt." "How would you like some nice K rations?" "Schokolade, ja?" "Fuer eine schachtel zigaretten?" "Rede ich." "Well, now we're getting somewhere." "He says he'll talk for a pack of cigarettes." "Gut." "Ich warte." "Wir stellen ihnen ein ultimatum." "Entweder uebergabe oder tod." "What did he say?" "They want us to surrender." "Surrender or be killed, he says." "Us?" "Tell him to go take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut." "Raus!" "Raus!" "Fragen sie ihn was das alles bedeutet!" "Ich verstehe nicht die antwort des General McAuliffe." "The major thinks" "General McAuliffe must have misunderstood." "We've appealed to the well-known American humanity to save the people of Bastogne from further suffering." "We have given you 2 hours to consider before raining destruction upon you." "We do not understand" "General McAuliffe's answer." "I'll be glad to repeat it." "The answer is "Nuts!"" "Nuesse!" "Nue... ist das im negativen oder positiven sinn?" "Is that a negative or an affirmative reply?" ""Nuts" is strictly negative." "Negativ." "Dann werden viele americaner daran glauben muessen." "We will kill many Americans." "On your way, bud." "Well, I feel better." "For once we know what's going on around here." "For once we get the story before my wife writes it up and it's the daily news." "Well, here goes my last butt." "Tell the chaplain your problems." "Ah, chaplain." "I forgot." "We've got nothing to worry about." "Holy Joe is going to pray for us at the Christmas services." ""They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength." "They shall mount up with wings as eagles."" "If the fog lifts." ""They shall run and not be weary."" "Unless they have frozen feet." ""And they shall walk and not faint."" "If they don't lose too much blood before the medics come up." "Well, another airmail message from the krauts." ""Merry Christmas, soldier," ""and our deepest sympathy." ""It's tough being away from home" ""at this time of year," ""especially when you're surrounded" ""and outnumbered 10 to one." ""Don't you feel your loved ones" ""worrying about you, praying for you?" ""Yes, old boy, praying and hoping" ""you'll come home again." ""Man, have you thought about it?" ""What if you don't come back?" ""Just remember this:" "Where there's a will," ""there's a way." ""Hot chow and safety are waiting for you only 300 yards away."" "Anybody from Ohio?" "Buckeye Lake, sir." "Cincinnati." " Maple Heights, sir." " Tippecanoe City, sir." "I'm from Chillicothe." "Any of you men Lutherans?" "Here, sir." "Here, sir." "I am, sir." "My wife is." "Ha ha!" "So am I." "But these services aren't just for Lutherans, any more than just for men from Ohio." "I merely happen to be in your area." "In other areas, there are other chaplains of various denominations and religions." "All of us Holy Joes are switch-hitters." "Earlier this month in Holland," "I held Hannukah services for some of the men of the Jewish faith." "How did I do, Levenstein?" "Not bad for a beginner, sir." "Ha ha ha!" "Well, now it's nearly Christmas, and here we are in beautiful Bastogne, enjoying the winter sports." "Ha ha!" "Ha ha!" "And the $64 question is, "was this trip necessary?"" "I'll try to answer that." "But my sermons, like everything else in the army, depend on the situation and terrain, so I assure you this is going to be a quickie." "Was this trip necessary?" "Well, let's look at the facts." "Nobody wanted this war but the Nazis." "A great many people tried to deal with them, and a lot of them are dead." "Millions have died... for no other reason except that the Nazis wanted them dead." "So, in the final showdown, there was nothing left to do except fight." "There's a great lesson in this." "Those of us who've learned it the hard way aren't going to forget it." "We must never again let any force dedicated to a super-race or a super-idea or super-anything become strong enough to impose itself upon a free world." "We must be smart enough and tough enough in the beginning to put out the fire before it starts spreading." "So my answer to the $64 question is," ""Yes, this trip was necessary."" "As the years go by, many people are going to forget, but you won't." "And don't ever let anybody tell you you were a sucker to fight in the war against fascism." "And now, Jerry permitting, let us pray." "Let us pray for this fog to lift." "Almighty god..." "The organist is hitting those bass notes a little too loud for me to be heard." "So, let us each pray in his own way to his own god." "When you hear planes, don't bother to look up." "They'll be ours." "Yeah." "They'll all be going to Berlin." "Hey, Layton, you haven't got a beat-up old chocolate bar, have you?" "I'm on that lemonade diet." "Drop another nickel in the jukebox, will you, chum?" "We interrupt this program with an important announcement." "A careful study of the most scientific instruments and maps leads to the following weather forecast." "Continued cold, more snow, and no sign of the fog lifting." "And now an old favorite which is growing more popular with the men of the 101st:" "I surrender, dear." "Krauts walking around down there." "Tanks, too." "What am I supposed to use for ammunition?" "Spitballs?" "We've got 10 rounds left for Old Betsy." "What about the tank at the roadblock?" "Can't move up." "Out of gas." "Try and get some news on that radio." "Krauts have it jammed up, everything except their own wavelength." "I'll try again." "They ain't even dug in." "Hey, Holley." "Is it true about krauts shooting prisoners?" "Where'd you get that?" "It's going around." "If you got a kraut pistol, they blow your brains out." "Don't fall for them rumors, Layton." "Anybody want a Luger?" "It's worth 100 bucks in Paris." "Thanks a lot." "It's a violation of the Sullivan Act for a civilian to carry firearms." "Let's hightail it out of here." "Other side of the hill!" "Dig in!" "A careful study of scientific instruments leads me to believe that German bombers are over Bastogne, fog or no fog." "Kind of rough on rear echelon tonight." "Yeah." "I've been thinking." "The mess sergeant, the supply ant, the pill roller who gives us shots..." "I'm bleeding for them." "...faites Que je previenne la mort?" "Que j'obtienne le parfait de la salutation eternelle." "Aah!" "Fall out and draw rifles." "Rifles?" "We've just been made riflemen." "Medics said I wasn't supposed to go up." "The medics!" "Check with 'em!" "Get your blanket." "Fall out." "Draw rifles and ammo." "Fall out." "Draw rifles and ammo." "Fall out." "Draw rifles and ammo." "Chow?" "You ain't even warm." "Follow me on the double." "That's all, brother." "Hey, you!" "Front and center!" "Good thing they didn't send me." "I never fired an M-1 rifle." "When I was out, they was using the 03." "All litter cases will prepare to be evacuated to air raid shelters." "All walking wounded will fall out and draw rifles." "This is a .30-caliber, gas-operated, clip-fed, semiautomatic rifle." "Don't sell it to me." "Show me how it works." "To load it, pull the bolt back and stick the clip in." "What's up, Smitty?" "Battalion says to pull back." "Go ahead." "You, too, sir." "They said to tell you." "It's a cinch we ain't pulling' back that way." "I guess maybe we ain't pulling' back at all." "Lieutenant... take the second squad." "First squad!" "Third squad!" "Over here." "Save it, Layton." "They'll be getting a lot closer, and we'll still be here." "Hey!" "It's shining!" "It's shining!" "How have you been?" "Hey, Jarvess!" "Jarvess, look at them!" "They got here!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Aha!" "Drive them out of there!" "C-47s!" "C-47s!" "Aha!" "What was that about eagles?" ""They shall mount up with wings as eagles."" ""They shall run and not be weary."" "Well what are we waiting for?" "Let's go!" "Yahoo!" "Aah!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Aah!" "Ha ha!" "Ha ha ha!" "Yippee!" "Iyah-ho!" "Yahoo!"
