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.
