PFC Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton:
[sitting and watching the other men scrubbing out drums] You a**holes are gonna miss cleanin' out oil barrels pretty soon. You gonna be humpin' up some f***in' hill... [he lights a cigarette, despite being beside a 'no smoking' sign]... or across a beach, Japs pourin' sh*t for fire, pissin' your pants, cryin' boo-hoo, wishin' you were back here with nothin' asked of you but to scrub oil outta drums.

Bill Leyden:
[angrily] Why don't you grab a brush and give us a hand?

PFC Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton:
F*** that sh*t, I scrub drums for no man.

Eugene B. Sledge:
Can we take a break?

PFC Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton:
Do whatever you want, this ain't my detail. [the others look at each other incredulously] I was supposed to dump y'all off here and report back to the C.P.

PFC Robert Oswalt:
Then why're you still here?

PFC Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton:
[smirking] I like to watch the new guys sweat.
