Movie Title: A Walk in the Sun (1945) as Sergeant Tyne: Sergeant Tyne : It's a funny thing, how many people you meet in an army that cross your path for a few seconds and you never see 'em again.

Sergeant Tyne : Wonder what it'll be like when we hit France, Mac. McWilliams : I don't know. I never seen France. Sergeant Tyne : I bet its just a long concrete wall with a gun every yard.

Movie Title: The Twilight Zone (1959) as Paul Driscoll: Hanford : [at dinner] ... So what are your world views, Driscoll? Paul Driscoll : ...I don't have any, Mr. Hanford. Hanford : Of course you do, man. We ALL do! Like all this nonsense about giving the Indians land. What we need are twenty General Custers and a hundred thousand men! What we should have done is swept across the prairie, destroying every redskin that stood before us. After that, we should have planted the American flag deep, high and proud! Abigail : I think the country is tired of fighting, Mr. Hanford. I think we were bled dry by the Indian Wars. I think anything we can accomplish peacefully, with treaties, we should accomplish that way. Hanford : Now, I trust this isn't the path you spoon-feed your students. Treaties, indeed! Peace, indeed! Why, the virility of a nation is in direct proportion to its military prowess. I LIVE for the day when this country SWEEPS AWAY... [notices Driscoll's disapproving look] Hanford : ... You some kind of a pacifist, Driscoll? Paul Driscoll : No, just some sick idiot who's seen too many boys die because of too many men who fight their battles at dining room tables... and who probably wouldn't last forty-five seconds in a REAL skirmish if they WERE thrust into it. Hanford : ...I take offense at that remark, Mr. Driscoll! Paul Driscoll : And I take offense at "armchair warriors," who don't know what a shrapnel, or a bullet, or a saber wound feels like... who've never smelled death after three days on an empty battlefield... who've never seen the look on a man's face when he realizes he's lost a limb or two, and his blood is seeping out. Mr. Hanford, you have a great affinity for "planting the flag deep." But you don't have a nodding acquaintance of what it's like for families to bury their sons in the same soil! Movie Title: Airport 1975 (1974) as Scott Freeman: Scott Freeman : What's the weather like there? Mrs. Scott Freeman : Well the moon's out right now, but there are a few clouds around.

We're going to be cattle barons. Movie Title: The Purple Heart (1944) as Captain Harvey Ross: Captain Harvey Ross : No your excellency. It's true we Americans don't know very much about you Japanese. And we never did. And now I realize you know even less about us. You can kill us. All of us, or part of us. But if you think that's going to put the fear of god into the United States of America, and stop them from sending other flyers to bomb you, you're wrong. Dead wrong. They'll come by night, they'll come by day. Thousands of them. They'll blacken your skies and burn your cities to the ground and make you get down on your knees and beg for mercy. This is your war. You wanted it. You asked for it. You started it. And now you're going to get it. And it won't be finished until your dirty little empire is wiped off the face of the earth. |
