Band of Brothers

[After hearing of Sobel's court martial of Winters, the NCO's of Easy Company meet and prepare to turn in their stripes in protest]

Lipton:
Now, if we are all going to go through with this, we all have to be aware of the consequences.

Martin:
I don't care about the consequences.

Lipton:
John. We could be lined up against a wall and shot. Now, I'm ready to face that. And the rest of you better be, too.

[All the NCO's are silent for a few moments; Guarnere looks pointedly at Lipton.]

Guarnere:
[Regarding Sobel] I will not follow that man into combat.

Bull:
Me neither.

[The other NCO's all nod in agreement.]

Lipton:
Alright, then. Let's do it.

[All the NCO's take individual pieces of paper and pencils. Guarnere dictates what all of them write]

Guarnere:
"I hereby...no longer wish to serve...as a Non-Commissioned Officer...in Easy Company." [they each then sign their individual papers and hand them to Lipton]

Lipton:
Alright then. Good luck. [leaves to take the papers to Col. Sink]
