Capt. Hamill:
How was the road in?

Capt. Miller:
Scenic. We lost most of our ammo.

Pvt. Mellish:
Not to mention one of our men.

Capt. Hamill:
[Speaking to another soldier] Lieutenant, redeploy that bazooka to the other side of the road!

Soldier:
Yes, sir!

Capt. Hamill:
And get Ryan up here.

Soldier:
[Running away from Hamill] Ryan! Ryan! Front and center! Ryan!

Pvt. Reiben:
[Seeing Ryan running down the road] Here comes our boy. [Ryan runs past Reiben. At Horvath.] Told ya he was an a**hole.

James Frederick Ryan:
[At Hamill] Sir, Private Ryan, reporting as ordered, sir!

Capt. Hamill:
At ease. Captain Miller 2nd Rangers wants a word with you.

Capt. Miller:
[Directing Ryan] This way. [Miller stops and sits on a rock] Take a knee. [He does so, taking his helmet off as well. Pause] Private, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. [Pause] Well, there isn't any real easy way to say this, so, uh...I'll just say it. Your brothers are dead. [Ryan has a saddened look on his face.] We have, uh, orders to come get you 'cause you're going home. [There is a long pause]

James Frederick Ryan:
[crying] Oh, my God, my brothers are dead. I was gonna take 'em fishing when I got home...

Capt. Miller:
I'm so sorry, James.

James Frederick Ryan:
[sniffling] H-How'd they die?

Capt. Miller:
They were killed in action.

James Frederick Ryan:
T-That can't be. That can't be, my brothers are still in grammar school.

Capt. Miller:
You're James Ryan?

James Frederick Ryan:
Yeah.

Capt. Miller:
James Francis Ryan from Iowa?

James Frederick Ryan:
James Frederick Ryan, Minnesota? [Hamill has a confused look on his face] W...Does that mean my brothers are okay?

Capt. Miller:
Yeah, I'm sure they're fine.

James Frederick Ryan:
Are you sure that they're okay though? How-

Capt. Miller:
We're looking for a different Private Ryan. This is just a big foul-up.
