Warren Oates: O. W. Hadley

Quotes 

• Aesop : [observing the French troops]  My outfit could lick those boys - those ones on foot, anyway. With one hand tied behind our backs.

  O.W. Hadley : How's that, Aesop?

  Aesop : They're soft, O.W. - they ain't never been South.

• O.W. Hadley : [as he is about to be executed as a deserter]  Aw, hell, Major, you're just doin' what you gots to do! But goddamn your soul for it anyway, and God bless Robert E. Lee!

  [Tyreen shoots him in the back of the head] 

• O.W. Hadley : [Hadley is to be executed for desertion]  You gonna let them shoot me, sir?

  Capt. Benjamin Tyreen : I'm obliged to, son. You should've remembered you belong to the Major, and not to me.

• Arthur Hadley : [Arthur and a few others are bathing in a spring]  Come on in, O.W.!

  O.W. Hadley : I already took my bath!

• O.W. Hadley : Boys, by doggies, I want you to know what kind of company we've been keepin'. He just plain clean shot a hole in me.

• O.W. Hadley : Captain, you know me. I've been over the hill before. But I always come back, didn't I? And you whipped me for it and I deserved it. But you never killed me none. Now you ain't gonna hand me over to no bluebelly - just because I had a hankerin' for a woman?
