Quotes 

  • Kelly : Well Oddball, what do you think?

    Oddball : It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.

    Big Joe : Hey look, you just keep them Tigers busy and we'll take care of the rest.

    Oddball : The only way I got to keep them Tigers busy is to LET THEM SHOOT HOLES IN ME!

    Crapgame : Hey, Oddball, this is your hour of glory. And you're chickening out!

    Oddball : To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers.

    Kelly : Nobody's asking you to be a hero.

    Oddball : No? Then YOU sit up in that turret baby.

    Kelly : No, because you're gonna be up there, baby, and I'll be right outside showing you which way to go.

    Oddball : Yeah?

    Kelly : Yeah.

    Oddball : Crazy... I mean like, so many positive waves... maybe we can't lose, you're on!

  • [the lone obstacle to the sought-after gold is a solitary tank guarding the bank] 

    Crapgame : Then make a DEAL!

    Big Joe : What kind of deal?

    Crapgame : A DEAL, deal! Maybe the guy's a Republican. "Business is business," right?

  • Crapgame : [Crapgame finds a mine in the minefield]  Hey! I found one!

    Big Joe : What kind is it?

    Crapgame : The kind that blows up! How the Hell do I know what kind it is?

  • Pvt. Cowboy : God almighty, you guys smell like you fell into a dung heap!

    Crapgame : Kinda makes ya homesick, don't it?

    Pvt. Willard : [to Pvt. Cowboy]  You know it does, kinda ,don't it old buddy?

  • Crapgame : [Muttering in the minefield]  Coulda been in the States playing ping-pong; volleyball... Plenty of broads... Who the hell needs all this? Gonna get my knife & get the hell outta here. Eaaa, lousy equipment! Now I gotta lift up this CANNON; carry it all the way to the front line someplace. Damned thing is heavier that Kelsey's burgers!

  • Pvt. Little Joe : Kelly's even got us armor support.

    Big Joe : [facing Kelly]  What armor?

    Crapgame : [interrupting]  Three Shermans from the 321st.

    Big Joe : [still facing Kelly]  Who's in command?

    Crapgame : It's a top line outfit, I personally recommend these guys.

    Big Joe : [turning to Crapgame]  Now you butt out, hustler, the only time you come out of the ground is when you smell a profit.

    Crapgame : Oh, yeah, well I'm comin' out now, because Kelly's got the perfect caper.

    Big Joe : Sure for you it's a vacation. Six days out of seven you're behind the lines, we're at the broken end of a bottle all the time, so you, BUTT OUT!

    [turning back to Kelly] 

    Big Joe : Who's in command?

    Kelly : A guy named Oddball.

    Big Joe : Oddball! He's a freak!

    Kelly : He's got three Shermans all ready to go.

    Big Joe : What kind of a guarantee is that? "He's ready to go." He's a nut!

    Pvt. Jonesey : Well we're all nuts, or we wouldn't be here!

  • Crapgame : [into field phone]  Hogan? Yeah, it's me. Listen... I gotta favor to ask ya. Will you quit cryin... I haven't even asked ya yet! What the Hell's the matter with you?

  • Oddball : Who is that guy, Crapgame?

    Crapgame : Him? Name's Kelly. Used to be a lieutenant, pretty good one, too, till they gave him orders to attack the wrong hill. Wiped out a half a company of G.I.'s. Somebody had to get the blame and he got picked.

  • Crapgame : [about Oddball's Captain]  He hasn't been reported as dead yet - I've been collecting his whiskey.

  • Crapgame : Hey, Oddball, this is your moment of glory. And you're chickening out!

    Oddball : To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three tigers.

  • Pvt. Willard : Big Joe, do I gotta carry all this equipment, and this satchel charge, and this .30-caliber machine gun too?

    Big Joe : Nah, give the .30-caliber to the hustler. He wants to be a hero.

    [Willard and Cowboy share a chuckle before Willard brings the machine gun to Crapgame] 

    Pvt. Willard : Here ya are, ol' buddy.

    [walks away laughing] 

    Crapgame : Thanks! Get yourself a bucket of grits!

  • Crapgame : What is this? Huh? What is this, a ballgame? Who are these guys?

    Oddball : They're my friends, Crapgame...

    Crapgame : And who is that bunch of refugees over there?

    Oddball : The band.

    Crapgame : The band? What do we need a band for?

    Oddball : Have a little faith, Crapgame... they're beautiful people!

  • Crapgame : Fourteen thousand bars? Ha, ha! Fourteen thousand! Hey, sweetheart, have yourself a bottle of booze, you're beautiful.
