• Pfc. James E. Driscoll : But Sergeant, you don't understand. I was sent to clerk-typist school. That's all I've ever done in the army was type!

  Sgt. Jim Larkin : Man, we're gonna give you on the job training.

  Pvt. Dave Corby : What's up, Sergeant?

  Sgt. Jim Larkin : Take this man over to that foxhole next to Reese and teach him how to shoot.

  Pvt. Dave Corby : [Larkin hands him Driscoll's brand new rifle]  With this here? It might get dirty.

• Sgt. Jim Larkin : [after PVT Driscoll crashes his jeep near the front lines, only to have it commandeered by the platoon sergeant, SFC Pike. Without a ride back to the relative safety of Division Headquarters, Driscoll is instantly transformed into a frontline combat troop - albeit untrained]  Don't worry about Major Winston. He'll be mighty happy and proud when he hears you've volunteered for combat duty.

  Pfc. James E. Driscoll : But sergeant, you don't understand! I was sent to clerk-typist school. That's all I've ever done in the Army... was learn to type.

  Sgt. Jim Larkin : Man, we're gonna give you on-the-job training.

• Sgt. Jim Larkin : Hey, Corby, what's the matter with you? Can't you forget about that loot? You're in a church.

  Pvt. Dave Corby : This ain't a church no more, Sergeant. And besides, even if it was, so what?

  Sgt. Jim Larkin : Well it used to be, J.J. You oughtta have respect for things that used to be.

  Pvt. Dave Corby : What are you buckin' for chaplain or something? I got respect, Sergeant. Plenty. But its not for somebody I can't see.

• Sgt. Jim Larkin : [after the squad is fired on by a German machine gun]  You guys are covered here, but walk carefully beyond this point.

  Pvt. Dave Corby : Walk? Are you out of your mind? I'm gonna dig a subway.

• Sgt. Jim Larkin : [checking on Driscoll's training]  How we doing?

  Pvt. Dave Corby : Oh, splendid, Sergeant. He still can't hit anything, but he loads like a genius.
