Lt. Joe Mallory:
[conferring with a new junior officer] Johnson-! If you're as good under fire as you are on paper, we'll get along. And if you're *not*, I'll re-classify you and send you back to a repro-depo. Is *that* clear?

Lt. Fred Johnson:
Yes, sir.

Lt. Joe Mallory:
We're leaving tonight. You're getting the best rifle platoon in the regiment, and the best platoon sergeant in the *army*; You do what he tells you to do, and *maybe* your chances of staying *alive* another week, are going to be pretty good. Is *that* clear?

Lt. Fred Johnson:
Yes, sir.

Lt. Joe Mallory:
Until you know what this is all about, Johnson, you're nothing but a *messenger boy* for Sergeant Bell!
