The Pacific2010

Merriell Shelton:
[sees Eugene reading a letter and looking troubled] Eugene? [he doesn't answer] Gene?

Eugene B. Sledge:
[distantly] My dog died.

Merriell Shelton:
[sits beside him] I'm sorry.

Eugene B. Sledge:
He was a good dog.

Merriell Shelton:
How old was he?

Eugene B. Sledge:
Got him as a pup 'bout nine years ago, maybe ten.

Merriell Shelton:
[studying Eugene's face] They say dogs live, what, seven years to every one of ours? [Eugene doesn't say anything, and Snafu leans against his shoulder]

Pvt. Hamm:
[also with a letter] My brother was on the Bunker Hill.

Merriell Shelton:
[sarcastically] Wow.

Pvt. Hamm:
[angry] Ship got hit by two kamikazes. Five hundred guys died, a**hole. [Snafu looks abashed] How the f*** can they do that? Fly themselves into a ship?

Merriell Shelton:
[with irony] Emperor is God. Duty to God.

Pvt. Hamm:
They can't f***in' surrender?

Eugene B. Sledge:
I hope they don't. [Hamm and Snafu look surprised] I hope we get to kill every last one of 'em.
