Band of Brothers

[O' Keefe is humming "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain"]

Perconte:
Hey, O'Brien. Shut up!

O' Keefe:
I told you, it's O'Keefe.

Perconte:
Do you know why no one remembers your name? It's because no one wants to remember your name. There's too many Smiths, DiMattos and O'Keefes and O'Briens, who show up here, replacing Toccoa men that you dumb replacements got killed in the first place! And they're all like you! They're all piss and vinegar. "Where're the Krauts at? Let me at 'em! When do I get to jump into Berlin?" Two days later, there they are with their blood and guts hanging out and they're screaming for a medic, begging for their goddamn mother. Dumb fucks don't even know they're dead yet. Hey, you listening to me? Do you understand this is the best part of the fucking war I've seen? I've got hot chow, hot showers, warm bed. Germany is almost as good as being home. I even got to wipe my own ass with real toilet paper today. So, quit asking about when you're gonna see real action, will you?! And stop with the fucking love songs!

[both are silent for a while]

Perconte:
When did you ship out? A few weeks ago?

O' Keefe:
Yeah.

Perconte:
It's been two years since I've seen home. Two years. This fucking war.
