Story of G.I. Joe
1945
Pvt. Robert "Wingless" Murphy: Look, this is a modern war, ain't it? And I'm a modern guy, and the modern age is up in the air, not down here.
Pvt. Dondaro: Hey Pop, why wasn't you born a beautiful dame? Or even an ugly one?
Pvt. Dondaro: Tonight, boy, tonight I dream in Technicolor.
Pvt. Robert "Wingless" Murphy: Hey Dondaro, what town did we take today? Pvt. Dondaro: San Raviollio. Pvt. Robert "Wingless" Murphy: Didn't we take that yesterday? Pvt. Dondaro: No, that was San Something Else-io.
Capt.Bill Walker: The new kids that come up, that's what gets you. The new ones, some of them have just got a little fuzz on their faces. They don't know what its all about. Scared to death. You know, Ernie, I know it ain't my fault that they get killed, but it makes me feel like a murderer. I hate to look at 'em, the new kids.
(Final Line) Ernie Pyle: (Voice-over) : For those beneath the wooden crosses, there is nothing we can do, except perhaps to pause and murmur, "Thanks pal, thanks."
