Frank Perconte : No, sir.
Herbert M. Sobel : Then explain the creases at the bottom.
Frank Perconte : No excuse, sir.
Herbert M. Sobel : Volunteering for the Parachute Infantry is one thing Perconte, but you've got a long way to prove that you belong here. Your weekend pass is revoked.
[He walks up to another solidier]
Herbert M. Sobel : Name?
George Luz : Luz, George
Herbert M. Sobel : [He inspects Luz's rifle] Dirt in the rear side aperture, pass revoked.
[He picks out another soldier and begins picking at his arm]

Cpl. Joseph Liebgott : Yes, sir
Herbert M. Sobel : [He smacks him on the helmet with his bayonet] Not with this.
[He walks away from the troops, holding up the bayonet]
Herbert M. Sobel : I would not take this rusty piece of shit to war, and I will not take you in your condition. Now thanks to these men and their infractions, every man in the Company who had a weekend pass has lost it. Change into your PT gear, we're running Currahee.

Bill Guarnere : [the Easy Company NCOs are gathered in a tent, having a serious discussion after learning of Dick Winters' upcoming court-martial, and the fact that for the second time, Captain Sobel has screwed up a training exercise] Not me.
Charles E. (Chuck) Grant : So we're going through with this, right?
Myron Mike Ranney : We've gotta do something.
Charles E. (Chuck) Grant : Yeah.
C. Carwood Lipton : Alright. Good. But we'd all better be clear about the consequences.
John W. Martin : I don't care about the consequences.

Bill Guarnere : I will *not* follow that man into combat.
Denver (Bull) Randleman : Me neither.
C. Carwood Lipton : Alright. Then let's do it.

C. Carwood Lipton : [Everyone hands their notices to Lipton] Alright boys. Good luck.
