Burton 'Pat' Christenson: The stories about Speirs are probably all bullshit anyway.
Ken Webb: Stories? What stories?
Frank Perconte: Well, supposedly, Speirs shot one of his own men for being drunk.
Ken Webb: You're kidding. That's unbelievable.
Burton 'Pat' Christenson: Yeah, and there's another one about him giving cigarettes to twenty German POW's before killing 'em.
Ken Webb: He shot twenty POW's?
Frank Perconte: Well, actually, I heard it was more like thirty.
Ronald Speirs: [Speirs arrives] Christenson.
Burton 'Pat' Christenson: Lieutenant Speirs.
Ronald Speirs: I got the name right, didn't I? Christenson?
Burton 'Pat' Christenson: Yes, sir.
Ronald Speirs: What are you men doing out here?
Burton 'Pat' Christenson: We're watching the line, sir.
Ronald Speirs: Well, keep up the good work. While you're at it, you might want to reinforce your cover.
Frank Perconte: Oh... well actually, sir, Lieutenant Dike said not even to bother, that we're only gonna be here one day.
Ronald Speirs: Lieutenant Dike said that, huh? Then forget what I said. Carry on.
[starting to walk away. Then turns around]
Ronald Speirs: Oh, anyone care for a smoke?
[Christenson and Perconte look at him silently]
Ronald Speirs: [to Webb] You?
[Webb shakes his head vigorously]
