The Pacific

Sledge:
Have you heard the latest about the other war?

Leckie:
There's another war?

Sledge:
We invaded Europe. Landed last month in France.

Leckie:
Well, unless you've got a brother over there, most guys don't give a shit.

Sledge:
My brother landed in Italy, tank battalion.

Leckie:
Well, I guess you get to give a shit. [offers Sledge water]

Sledge:
Thanks. [picks up a Bible]

Leckie:
Well, that explains it, you're a believer. [Sledge nods] Okay, question: God created everything, right? The heavens, the seven seas, the Marine Corps, [points to Runner], Sleeping Beauty over there?

Sledge:
[laughs] Even him.

Leckie:
Land crabs, rats, mosquitos?

Sledge:
Mosquitos are a little tough to understand.

Leckie:
[turns serious] God created Japs too, right? The yellow slants who've tried to kill me on many occasions? Japs come from the Garden of Eden too?

Sledge:
Well, what we do is up to us, we're given a choice.
