Capt. B.J. Hunnicut : Listen Roberts, there's a boy in the O.R. who's gonna die because part of the artery that comes out of his heart has been shot away.
Roberts : What makes that guy more important than Harold Sherwood?
Capt. B.J. Hunnicut : You gotta understand this: most of your friend's brain is gone. He stopped being Harold Sherwood when that shell hit him in the head. He's been dead for half an hour. His heart just didn't know enough to stop beating.

Roberts : God, he was such a good guy. He was so innocent. That's why we called him Harold. We tried calling him Harry a couple times, but it just didn't seem to fit.
Father Francis Mulcahy : It's such a terrible waste, isn't it?
Roberts : He was the best guy in the outfit, Father. No matter how bad things got, you could always count on him. Isn't it enough he died? Do they have to cut him up like that?
Father Francis Mulcahy : Son, let me ask you something. Harold sounds like the kind of a man who gave of himself. Do you think he could've thrown himself on a grenade to save someone else?
Roberts : Sure he would. He wouldn't even think about it.
Father Francis Mulcahy : Even if he didn't know the other person?
Roberts : Sure.
Father Francis Mulcahy : Well, that's what he's doing now.
