- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: See enough there to change your mind? Dennison, I'm talking to you.
- Pvt. V.R. Hackett: Why don't you get off his back?
- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Well, so now you're on his side?
- Pvt. V.R. Hackett: I'm not on anybody's side. Look, Briscoe, guys like us it don't bother to do a thing like this, but other guys...
- Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Other guys just don't like the killing.
- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: You got me all figured out. I like to kill, huh? Let me tell you, I see that body sliding in the water, I'm glad it ain't me. Killing is just a little bit better than getting killed.
- Pvt. V.R. Hackett: Alright, that's why it don't bother me.
- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Don't it?
- Pvt. V.R. Hackett: No, it don't.
- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Big man!
- Pvt. V.R. Hackett: Look, let him off the hook and I'll do it.
- Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Hack, you couldn't do it any...
- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Hold it. He wants to protect this sensitive boy. Go ahead, protect him.
- Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Hack, you can't do it any more than I can.
- Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: He can't, huh? Talk about wanting to kill, tell him about Pusan, some time. OK, big man. Go ahead. Get it over with. Fast.
