 James Madio QuotationMovie Title: Band of Brothers (2001) as Frank Perconte: [Easy Compagny is patrolling through the Bavarian woods] Frank Perconte : Hey George. George Luz : Yeah? Frank Perconte : Kind of remind ya of Bastogne? George Luz : Yeah, now that you mention it... Except, of course, there's no snow, we got warm grub in our bellies, and the trees aren't fuckin' exploding from Kraut artillery, but yeah... Frank... other than that, it's a lot like Bastogne. Frank Perconte : Right? George Luz : Bull, smack him for me please? [Thump] George Luz : Thank you. [on a boat headed for Europe] Warren Muck : Right now, some lucky bastard's headed for the Pacific, get put on some tropical island, surrounded by six naked native girls, helping him cut up coconuts so he can hand feed them to the flamingos. Joe Domingus : Flamingos are mean. They bite. Wayne Sisk : So do the naked native girls. Frank Perconte : With any luck. Frank Perconte : Hey Luz, how far are we going? George Luz : Oh, Jesus, Frank, I don't know. Until they tell us to stop. Donald Hoobler : High ground. There's high ground up ahead. Frank Perconte : Okay, genius. Answer me this, then. How come Easy Company is the only company who's either at the front of an advance, or, like now, exposed at the far edge of the line? Donald Hoobler : To keep you on your toes. Frank Perconte : No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, we're never in the middle. And we're the fifth of nine companies in this regiment. Able to Item. Think of it. Frank Perconte : Now just think, if you had any class or style like me, somebody might've mistaken you for somebody. Frank Perconte : Hey O'Brien, relax would ya? I'm trying to read. Pvt. Patrick O'Keefe : It's O'Keefe. Frank Perconte : Is that right? Pvt. Patrick O'Keefe : Yeah, Patrick O'Keefe, my friends call me Patty. [starts humming] Frank Perconte : Hey O'Brien, shut up! Pvt. Patrick O'Keefe : I told you, it's O'Keefe. Frank Perconte : Do you know why no one remembers your name? Its cause no one wants to remember your name! There are too many Smiths, Dimattos, and O'Keefes and O'Briens who show up here replacing Toccoa men that you dumb replacements got killed in the first place. And they're all like you. They're all piss and vinegar. "Where the Krauts at? Let me at 'em. When do I get to jump into Berlin?" Two days later there they are with their blood and guts hanging out. Screaming for a medic, begging for their goddamn mother. You dumb kids don't even know you're dead yet. Hey, you listening to me? Don't you know this is the best part of frickin' war I've seen? I've got hot chow, hot showers, a warm bed. The way I see it, Germany is almost as good as being home. I even got to wipe my ass with real toilet paper today. So quit asking when you're gonna see some action, will ya? And stop with the frickin' love songs! [Pause] Frank Perconte : When'd you ship out? Two weeks ago? Pvt. Patrick O'Keefe : [Quiet] Yeah. Frank Perconte : Its been two years since I've seen home. Two years. Frank Perconte : Hey this guy says he's not a Nazi. All of Germany and I haven't met one Nazi yet. Frank Perconte : How was your jump? Pvt. Albert Blithe : Well, missed the DZ Frank Perconte : Yeah, that goes without saying. Pvt. Albert Blithe : I guess. Frank Perconte : Got any souvenirs to trade? Pvt. Albert Blithe : Huh? Frank Perconte : [shows an armful of wristwatches] They're all ticking, unlike their previous owners. Joe Toye : Three day supply of K-rations, chocolate bars, charms candy, powdered coffee, sugar, matches, compass, bayonet, entrenching tool, ammunition, gas mask, musette bag with ammo, my weapon, my .45, canteen, two cartons of smokes, Hawkins mine, two grenades, smoke grenade, gamma grenade, t-n-t, this bullshit, and a pair of nasty skivvies! Frank Perconte : What's your point? Joe Toye : This stuff weighs as much as I do, I still got my chute, my reserve chute, my Mae West, my M1. Frank Perconte : Where you keeping the brass knuckles? Joe Toye : I could *use* some brass knuckles. |
