[After letting "Steamboat Willie" go, Reiben confronts Miller]

Pvt. Reiben:
I guess that was the, uh, decent thing to do, huh Captain? [Pause]

Capt Miller:
Get your gear. Let's go.

Sgt. Horvath:
[At Reiben] You heard him. Gear up. [Pause] The captain just gave you an order.

Pvt. Reiben:
Yeah...Like the one he gave to take this machine gun. That was a real doozy, wasn't it Sergent?

Sgt. Horvath:
Soldier, you are way out of line.

Pvt. Reiben:
[At Miller] Yes, sir. That was one hell of a call coming to take this nest, but...The hell, we lost one of our guys going for it. I swear, I hope Mama Ryan's real f***ing happy knowing that little Jimmy's life is a little bit more important than two of our guys! But then again, we haven't even found him yet, have we?! HAVE WE?! [Sgt. Horvath grabs Reiben and throws him to the ground and attempts to grab him again.] Get the hell off me.

Sgt. Horvath:
Reiben, get up. [Reiben gets off the ground] Gear up. Fall in.

Pvt. Reiben:
I'm done with this mission. [Reiben walks away and Horvath runs toward him.]

Sgt. Horvath:
Hey! HEY!

Cpl. Upham:
[At Horvath] Sir...

Sgt. Horvath:
[At Reiben] Don't you walk away from your captain. Reiben, get back in line!

Pvt. Reiben:
No, sir. I'll spend for the rest of my life in the stockade if I have to, but I'm done with this. [Horvath pull out a pistol on him]

Sgt. Horvath:
[Aims the pistol at Reiben] I'm not gonna ask you again, soldier. Fall in!

Cpl. Upham:
Captain!

Pvt. Jackson:
Aw, now this is bullshit.

Sgt. Horvath:
FALL IN.

Pvt. Reiben:
You gonna shoot me over Ryan?

Sgt. Horvath:
No, I'm gonna shoot you 'cause I don't like ya.

Pvt. Jackson:
Sarge, if he wants to go, just let him go!

Cpl. Upham:
[At Miller] Are you letting this happen?! Captain! You see this?!

Pvt. Mellish:
Captain, sir. Sir, Ryan's dead.

Cpl. Upham:
Bullshit!

Pvt. Jackson:
Sir, we have a situation you might...

Cpl. Upham:
That is Bullshit!

Pvt. Mellish:
Captain, I have a sixth sense about these things. I know it in my bones.

Pvt. Reiben:
[At Horvath] You didn't kill that son-of-a-b*tch Kraut, now you're gonna shoot me?

Sgt. Horvath:
He's better than you.

Pvt. Reiben:
Then why don't you just do it, Sarge? Do it man. Put one in my leg and give me that...

Sgt. Horvath:
I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU IN YOUR BIG GODDAMN MOUTH!!!

Pvt. Reiben:
Well, put your money where your mouth is and do it then! Do it! Pull the trigger already!

Sgt. Horvath:
You don't know when to shut up. You don't know how to shut up.

Cpl. Upham:
[At Miller] Captain, please.

Capt. Miller:
[At Upham] What's the pool on me up to?

Sgt. Horvath:
[At Reiben] YOU ARE A COWARD SON-OF-A-B*TCH!!!

Pvt. Reiben:
[At Horvath] I'm waiting, Sarge.

Capt Miller:
[At Horvath; breaks up argument] Mike, what's the pool on me up to? Wha-Wha-What it is up to? Wh-What is it up to? 300? 300 dollars? 300? Is that it? I'm a schoolteacher. [Pause] I teach English composition in this little town called Addley, Pennsylvania. It's uh...Last 11 years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was a coach of a baseball team in the springtime.

Sgt. Horvath:
I'll be doggone.

Capt Miller:
Back home, I tell people what I do for a living, they think, "Well, that figures." But over here, it a...a big...a big mystery. So I guess I changed some. Sometimes, I wonder if I changed so much, if my wife is gonna even recognize me, whenever it is I get back to her. And how I'll ever be able to...to tell her about days like today. Ah, Ryan...I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. The man means nothing to me. He's just a name. But if...you know, if going to Ramelle and...finding him so he can go home, if that earns me the right to get back to my wife, well then, that's my mission. [At Reiben] You wanna leave? You wanna go off and fight the war? All right. All right, I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. Just know, every man I kill, the farther away from home I feel.
