Denver (Bull) Randleman : Lieutenant Winters.
Richard D. Winters : What is it?
Denver (Bull) Randleman : Permission to speak, sir?
Richard D. Winters : Permission granted.
Denver (Bull) Randleman : Sir, we got nine companies, sir.
Richard D. Winters : That we do.
Denver (Bull) Randleman : Well, how come we're the only company marching every Friday night, 12 miles, full pack, in the pitch dark?
Richard D. Winters : Why do you think, Private Randleman?
Denver (Bull) Randleman : Lieutenant Sobel hates us, sir.
Richard D. Winters : Lieutenant Sobel does not hate Easy Company, Private Randleman... He just hates you.

Old Man on Bicycle : You've done it now, yanks. You've captured me.
Herbert M. Sobel : Hi-Ho, Silver!
Old Man on Bicycle : Would that be the enemy?
Richard D. Winters : As a matter of fact, yes.

Richard D. Winters : [Upon receiving his letter of court marshal] No sir, I do not understand. Your orders to me were to inspect the latrines at 1000 hours. From 0930 to 0955 I was censoring the enlisted men's mail by order of Colonel Strayer. At 1000 hours I followed your orders to the minute.
Herbert M. Sobel : I changed that time to 0945
Richard D. Winters : No one told me, sir.
Herbert M. Sobel : I telephoned.
Richard D. Winters : I'm quartered with a family that has no telephone.
Herbert M. Sobel : And sent a runner.
Richard D. Winters : No runner found me, Captain.
Herbert M. Sobel : Irregardless, when given a task by a ranking officer you should have delegated your task of latrine inspection to another officer. You failed to do so. Were I to let such a failure of duty by my own XO go unpunished what kind of message is that to the men?
Richard D. Winters : I performed my duty as I was ordered, sir
Herbert M. Sobel : And I disagree. So, your options are quite simple, Lieutenant. Punishment for your offences will be denial of a 48-hour pass for 60 days. Stand before me at attention!
[Winters walks up to Sobel's desk and snaps to attention]
Herbert M. Sobel : Or you may initiate a letter of appeal and request a trial by court-martial. You spend your weekends on the base anyway, Dick, be a man and take the punishment.
Richard D. Winters : May I borrow your pen, sir?
[He doesn't even wait for Sobel to answer before reaching across the desk and grabbing the pen. He then signs the court-marshal order and hands it to Sobel]
Richard D. Winters : My endorsement, sir. I request trial by court-martial.
[He snaps back to attention, salutes and leaves without being dismissed, leaving a very stunned Sobel behind]
