Christopher George: Sgt. Sam Troy

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Lt. Winters : Sgt. Troy, I'm Lt. Winters.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : You're an hour late, lieutenant. You had me worried. You know our mission's running on a time schedule.

  Lt. Winters : I've no control over the heat or the terrain, sergeant. And if I blew up on the way here, it would do your mission no good, no good at all.

• Sgt. Jack Moffitt : I'm lost.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : You're lost? What do you mean, you're lost?

  Sgt. Jack Moffitt : Exactly that. The riverbed should be here, but it isn't.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : This isn't a fossil hunt, Moffitt!

  Sgt. Jack Moffitt : Don't you think I know that? I'm also involved in this.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : Well, I'm not thinking about you, or me, or them. I'm thinking of those bombers getting through undetected. I'm thinking of them smashing Rommel's new division before they get off the docks!

• Capt. Hans Dietrich : [Troy approaches Dietrich, carrying in an outstretched hand one of the bombs]  You come like a Greek bearing gifts.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : You can call it that.
