Quotes:

[the Sergeant affixes a cloth red '1' to his uniform. The Captain is drinking from a bottle of booze]::The Sergeant: What do you think?::The Captain: What the hell is it?::The Sergeant: It's a "one". First Infantry Division. The Red One; think General Pershing will like it?::The Captain: Oh, sure.::The Sergeant: I got the idea from the cap of a Hun I killed.::The Captain: When?::The Sergeant: About an hour ago::The Captain: Did he yell out anything?::The Sergeant: Oh, the same old Kaiser stuff, you know, "the war's over," all that junk.::[the Captain hands him the bottle]::The Captain: Finish it.::The Sergeant: Sir?::The Captain: Finish it. The Armistice was signed, at eleven o'clock this morning. The war's been over for four hours. You didn't know it was over.::The Sergeant: ...*He* did.::Zab: [narrating] A quarter of a century later that piece of cloth from a dead Hun's hat had become famous all over the world. It was the insignia of the First Infantry Division. The Fightin' First. The Big Red One.

Zab: [narrating] You know how you smoke out a sniper? You send a guy out in the open and you see if he gets shot. They thought that one up at West Point.

Zab: [narrating] By now we'd come to look at all replacements as dead men who temporarily had the use of the arms and legs. The came and went so fast and so regularly that sometimes we didn't even learn their names. Truth is, after a while, we sort of avoided gettin' to know them.

Zab: [narrating] The Bangalore Torpedo was 50' long and packed with 85 pounds of TNT and you assembled it along the way. By hand. I'd love to meet the asshole who invented it.

[the troop stops before a memorial]::Johnson: Would you look at how fast they put the names of all our guys who got killed?::The Sergeant: That's a World War One memorial.::Johnson: But the name's are the same.::The Sergeant: They always are.

Zab: I'll be a son-of-a-bitch. My mother sold my novel to Hollywood for Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson.::Vinci: [doing a Robinson imitation] Hey, how much?::Zab: For fifteen thousand bucks!

Kaiser: Did I kill the guy that killed me?::The Sergeant: Yes.

Griff: I can't murder anybody.::The Sergeant: We don't murder; we kill.::Griff: It's the same thing.::The Sergeant: The hell it is, Griff. You don't murder animals; you kill 'em.

Johnson: [concerning a woman in labor] How do you say "push" in French?::The Sergeant: Poussez.::Johnson: [to woman] Pussy! Pussy! Pussy!

The Sergeant: [helping to deliver the baby] You get the head. I'll do the "poussez"-ing.
