"At the very beginning," "They are very close and.." "They accept people coming in like myself," "As a replacement." "But you also had to prove yourself." "Most of them were, we know were qualified parachutists," "They had to be." "a lot of them were awfully green, and we knew that." "We just, we hoped we could keep 'em alive" "Or They could keep alive, a lot of 'em didn't." "But, er, Well, alright, They eventually.." "Blend right in." "I think maybe They were trying to impress the older guys," "People like me or Shifty.." "I don't knowwhy but, I got right there to where" "I didn't wanna be friendly" "With replacements coming in because," "God, I didn't like seeing 'em get killed." "I just, it just tore me up." "'cause we were in awe of them." "They were, They were wearing infantry badges, you know, the uniform." "They had a star on their jump wings." "They, uh.." "They were like heroes to us, you know?" "That's how we looked at them." "and They were good." "Furthermore, They were good." "we had good officers, for the most part," "But we had excellent ncos." "They looked, They looked after you." "Lieutenant, nice and easy." "We've still got a shot." "Tough break, you're having a tough night." "People have tough nights." "I'm sorry, george." "It's alright." "Nice shot, sir." "Thank you, Bull." "Thank you, Lieutenant." "Finish me up." "Here we go." "Double seven." "You're embarrassing the Lieutenant, here." "Have a drink." "Oh, don't mind if I do, sarge." "Better start winning money soon," "I think your buddies are starting to miss you." "Yeah, They do look kind of sad, don't They?" "They're just serious fighting men, that's all." "Well, I think I'm gonna go introduce myself." "Careful What you say now." "Don't take much to set my guys off." "Yeah, and you got some wild-eyed killers right there, Bull." "You know, it's a good thing we weren't gambling." "Oh, boy, we would've gotten killed." "Wanna bet?" "What?" "You wanna bet?" "No, I'm not much of a gambling man." "Hey, come on." "First one to hit the Bull's-eye?" "Yeah, one shot, one shot." "Yeah?" "make it two." "Two packs. two packs." "Alright, two packs, here we go, one shot, very good." "Hey, fellas." "What do you hear?" "What do you say?" "Actually, that's babe's seat, private Heffron's." "Is that right?" "I don't care if it's fucking eisenhower's." "Who are you?" "Private Miller, James Miller." "I'm in sergeant Randleman's squad." "Us too, I'm Les Hashey." "Tony.." "garcia, I know who you are." "Old Gonorrhea don't miss nothing." "Lieutenant, are you gonna shoot Lefty all night?" "Hey, C'mon." "just curious 'cause he's right-handed." "george, What would I do without george Luz?" "boop!" "ooh!" "ooh!" "Goodness, Gracious." "two packs, gentlemen." "I know you got 'em, pay up." "So, Heffron tell you about doris yet?" "No." "No?" "mmm." "Well, then I'm gonna educate you." "We're getting ready to get on a plane" "For that first frog town we never jumped into." "All of a sudden, Heffron stops dead in his tracks." "Bing and a bang and a boom, everybody banging into each other," "Heffron's just starin' up at the nose of the plane" "Because on it is painted this beautiful pinup." "And written underneath "darling doris"." "Doris, which just happens to be the name of the skirt who just," "That day, sent babe one of them Let'sters." "You know the.." "What do you call them Let'sters that the broads send?" "er,"Dear John" Let'ster." "That's it, a "Dar Babe" Let'ster." "Well, anyway, lucky for babe, Patton overruns our drop zone." "Mission cancelled." "in other words," "Babe don't have to risk getting inside old doris again." "hah!" "Hey, Bull, your squad listens up real good." "Yeah, They're being polite like whenever Bull opens his mouth." "Johnny, What are you saying?" "Bull's boys are just humoring him?" "Yeah, like whenever he gives out some of his folksywisdom" "From back down on the farm." "probably think he's a fucking hayseed." "ain't that right?" "What are you laughing at?" "You new boys, you pay attention to sergeant Randleman." "Got that?" "That's the smartest man in the company." "where'd you get that?" "it's a presidential Distinguished unit citation." "for, uh.." "For what the regiment did in normandy." "That's right, for What the regiment did." "You weren't there." "Hey, Hey, ease up, Cobb, mmm?" "It's a unit citation." "Shit, Cobb." "You didn't fight in normandy neither." "I got hit in the plane before I got a chance to jump." "Hey, y'all, listen up." "I got us an announcement to make." "This here is Carwood Lipton." "he's already married, Smokey." "This here is Carwood Lipton." "The new Easy Company 1st sergeant." "As befitting this position," "He says he has to make an announcement." "Well, hate to break the mood here, boys," "But, We're moving out again." "As you can see, this is called 'Operation market garden.'" "In terms of airborne divisions involved, this one's even bigger than normandy." "We're dropping deep into occupied holland." "The allied objective is to take this road here," "Between Eindhoven and Arnhem," "So, that two british armored divisions can move up it" "Toward Arnhem." "Our job is gonna be to liberate Eindhoven." "Stay there, wait for the tanks." "The entire european advance has been put on hold to allocate" "Resources for this operation." "It's montgomery's personal plan" "And we'll be under british command." "The good news is, if this works," "These tanks will be over the rhine and into germany." "It could end the war and get us home by christmas." "It'll be a day-time jump." "Intelligence doesn't expect much opposition." "They think the krauts in holland are mostly kids and old men." "And we should take 'em by surprise." "In any case, say goodbye to england." "I don't think They're gonna call this one off." "What are you doing?" "Look at Cobb, man." "Watch and learn, kids." "You wanna live?" "Jump ready to fight" "They Let's you out of the hospital like that, boy?" "They didn't Let's me out, I busted out." "I didn't wanna get re-assigned to some other unit." "Yeah?" "Can you make the jump?" "Oh, sure I can, Lip, I just can't sit." "Welcome back, Popeye." "Thanks, Bull." "Popeye went awol just in time to jump." "What's he doing here?" "Who, sobel?" "Well, he's the newly appointed regimental s-4." "Supply officer?" "Yeah, you got it." "He picked me up in airbourne, trying to find you guys." "He know you went awol?" "He knows." "He just said I was lucky," "I could sit out this jump if I wanted." "I said I didn't want to." "So, he says "hop in"." ""Hop in"?" "Yeah, I know, I couldn't believe it either." "Hey, maybe he's gonna court-martia I me later, huh?" "Let's get you some gear." "Hey, Mal." "over there." "Sonofabitch." "Malarkey." "Sergeant Malarkey." "Sir?" "You thought you could get away with it?" "What do you mean, sir?" "Sergeant, that motorcycle is united states army property." "That may not mean anything to you," "But it means something to me." "Where'd you find it?" "That's him alright." "Who is he, sarge?" "He was our first Co." "What happened?" "He got promoted." "Just tap my leg, sergeant." "Lieutenant, you'll be in the doorway." "Yeah, I know, but.." "Look, sergeant, you'll be the man behind me." "When the green light comes on, if you could just tap me, alright?" "The green light will be next to you, sir." "Just do it, that's an order." "Come here, come here." "Sling it up and down, and when you hit ground," "Your knee'll hit the butt." "the business end'll break your jaw." "Lose your reserve, you won't need it, We're jumping low." "Take your belly band and wrap it around you, fine." "I'm sorry, sarge." "Don't be sorry." "Grab your rifle, Let's go." "Where'd you get that from, Hoobler?" "I think I love holland." "Where'd you get these?" "That farmhouse over there." "Just sitting out in the open." "I don't know, maybe They were expecting us." "Boys?" "Whoo, made it." "I wonder if They hit anything." "Goodbye air support." "There's some kind of holdup ahead." "We're going in through this field here." "Move out, Let's go!" "Let's go, move it, move it!" "You won't be able to shoot as straight with that thing on." "Okay, hold your fire." "Hey, kid." "Bull!" "Bull, you seen captain Winters?" "No, why?"

"They slept with the germans." "They are lucky." "The men who collaborated are being shot." "Mr. Van Kooijk here is with the dutch resistance." "We've been waiting and hoping for this day.." "For almost five years." "Says he can help us secure the bridges here." "Yes. together we can push the remaining germans" "Out of Eindhoven." "and that's just the beginning." "Any idea where They might be?" "Ah, Well, We're still working on that right now." "Peers and his friends here are gathering information as we speak."

"Are you here to stay?" "hmm-mmm." "as long as we have to." "Yeah, They don't tell us very much." "Or feed us much." "Please.." "Wait here." "You see that?" "I say screw paris." "Hey, don't talk about screwing, alright?" "They all speak english." "They all love us." "What a fantastic country." "Hey, take a look." "Here, take." "Danke." "Are these olives?" "Thanks, danke."
