- German Officer: They came from nowhere!
- Capt. Hauptman Hans Dietrich: A German convoy, armed, against two Jeeps and four Americans, and you consider it fortunate that five of you get away. Don't you think that's ridiculous?
- Cpl. Pennell: What's this all about, Captain?
- Capt. Hauptman Hans Dietrich: Sergeant, this is Corporal Pennell, an American deserter. But certainly no ordinary deserter.
- [tosses Tro Pennell's dog tags]
- Sgt. Sam Troy: B-Negative.
- Sgt. Sam Troy: One of my men needs a transfusion.
- Cpl. Pennell: Not me. Look, you got the wrong guy. I'm a deserter.
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: That doesn't change your blood type.
- Cpl. Pennell: I don't know what happened back there.
- Sgt. Sam Troy: Well, I do.
- Cpl. Pennell: Don't get me wrong. I was plenty scared.
- Sgt. Sam Troy: Everybody is scared out here. You learn to live with it.
- Cpl. Pennell: Yeah, but there's no guarantee that I'll react the same way next time.
- Sgt. Sam Troy: Nothing is guaranteed. Wait till next time and find out.
