• Maj. Wolenski : Where do you think you're going?

  1st Cook : To the shelter.

  Maj. Wolenski : No you're not. Grab your rifles and come with me.

  1st Cook : But we're cooks!

  Maj. Wolenski : [pauses]  Lunch is over! Grab your rifles!

• Col. Martin Hessler : I do not kill prisoners, but I would have no compunction at shooting you myself for your last remark.

  Maj. Wolenski : Then do it!

• Maj. Wolenski : You listen to me Colonel,there are survivors in all massacres. And I warn you, if any of my men are harmed, you will be held responsible. There'll be no place on this earth that you can hide, and when you're found, I hope I'm the man that ties the rope around your neck.

• Lt. Col. Daniel Kiley : [Kiley is selecting men for a night patrol]  I'll take that sergeant.

  Maj. Wolenski : OK. But I'll pick the rest of your volunteers.

• Lt. Col. Daniel Kiley : What do you think?

  Maj. Wolenski : Well, sir. I'm regular Army. I don't get into beefs between colonels. But I'll tell you what some of my stir-crazy men think. They think we got a great opportunity here. We got a chance to wipe out Germany. Just wipe it clean off the map. Knock everything down, every city, every castle, all the bridges, all the roads. Everything. Don't leave two stones standing together. Just wipe the slate clean. Turn Germany into a prairie, then ship over a few buffalo and let them start from scratch. Now, what do you think of that, colonel?

  Lt. Col. Daniel Kiley : I think your men ought to wash their socks and take a shave. It stinks in here.

• Maj. Wolenski : Colonel, there are survivors in all massacres. I warn you, if any of my men are harmed you will be held responsible. There will be no place on earth that you can hide. And when you're found, I hope I'm the man that ties the rope around your neck.

  Col. Martin Hessler : Major, I have never liked threats. I do not kill prisoners. But I will have no compunction at shooting you myself for your last remark.

  Maj. Wolenski : Then do it.

• Maj. Wolenski : Hey wait a minute, what the hell? They weren't engineers, they were MPs!
