Quotes 

  • Richard Winters : These men have been through the toughest training the Army has to offer, under the worst possible circumstances, and they volunteered for it.

    'Buck' Compton : Christ, Dick, I was just shooting craps with them.

    Richard Winters : You know why they volunteered? Because they knew that the man in the foxhole next to them would be the best, not some draftee who's going to get them killed.

    'Buck' Compton : Are you ticked because they like me? Because I'm spending time to get to know my soldiers? I mean, c'mon, you've been with them for two years? I've been here for six days.

    Richard Winters : You were gambling, Buck.

    'Buck' Compton : So what? Soldiers do that. I don't deserve a reprimand for it.

    Richard Winters : What if you'd won?

    'Buck' Compton : What?

    Richard Winters : What if you'd won? Don't ever put yourself in the position where you can take from these men.

  • [playing a game of darts] 

    George Luz : Lieutenant, are you going to shoot lefty all night?

    Joe Toye : Hey, c'mon.

    George Luz : I'm just curious cause he's right-handed.

    'Buck' Compton : [switches hands]  George, what would I do without George Luz?

  • 'Buck' Compton : Where you hit, Pop?

    'Popeye' Wynn : I can't believe, I fucked up! My ass, sir.

    'Buck' Compton : Your ass?

    [Lt. Compton checks his wound] 

    'Buck' Compton : Holy shit!

  • 'Buck' Compton : [Compton is looking at a picture of himself and his girlfriend on Christmas Eve 1944]  Bill.

    [he nudges Guarnere and shows him the photo] 

    'Buck' Compton : Picture of my girl.

    Bill Guarnere : Good-lookin' broad, Buck.

    'Buck' Compton : She's, uh...

    [he hands the photo to Guarnere and looks away] 

    'Buck' Compton : ... she's finished with me.

    Bill Guarnere : [sympathetically]  Really?

    'Buck' Compton : Yeah. Yeah, it's uh...

    [he looks at Guarnere, then at the photo, then back at Guarnere, and laughs desparately] 

    Bill Guarnere : Just in time for Christmas, huh?

    'Buck' Compton : [Compton's laughter trails away into silence and he gets a despondent look on his face]  Just in time for Christmas.
