Quotes 

• Dick Ennis : [attending to Rabinoff who went into sudden convulsions]  Look, fellows, I think he can use the air more then the company, okay? Anything anybody can do?

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : No, unless you have a band-aid.

  Dick Ennis : Very funny.

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : Oh, it's murder. The stomach, you see? A Japanese grenade ripped my insides. Got medal in there. Under tension it contracts and all hell breaks loose. I must have been tense.

  Dick Ennis : Good thinking. You belong in a hospital, not in a war.

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : Yeah, that's what they said when they sent me home.

  Dick Ennis : You mean you got out, then you went to Canada and joined this outfit?

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : That's right.

  Dick Ennis : How did you get past the doctors?

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : Lied about my age.

  Dick Ennis : You gotta be crazy. Half your guts blown out and you're back here. What for?

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : Awkward time for a interview.

  Dick Ennis : You got something better to do? Why did you re-enlist?

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : Why? Because I like it, you know. I missed it, Ennis. With all the mud and pain, these clowns giving orders, there's nothing like it. Look, a guy sells shoes for 40 years. I live more in one day, I see more and feel more. I taste more, I think more. I'm more, understand? I'm more. There's more to living than breathing. Capisce?

  Dick Ennis : Capisce.

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : You're the same way, that's right. War is part of you. You belong to it and when this one's over, you'll find another and I hope I'm with you.

• Capt. Burns : I take it you're our guide soldier?

  Cpl. Jack Rabinoff : That's right Captain just keep your mouth shut and follow my ass.

  Capt. Burns : Corporal, consider yourself busted.
