As platoon sergeant, I'm in command.
Each one of you knows what to do.
Porter's going to take you up
on the beach.
Go with him
and do as he tells you.
Understand?
Cold water.
Every time, it's cold water.
I'll take you in a wheelchair.
You and your purple heart.
Get them up there, won't you?
Sure thing, Hal.
101, 102.
Hope this beach isn't mined.
- Hey, where's the fire?
113. You think I want to
get caught out on the beach.
118, 119.
120. We'll hold here!
Spread out. Hit the dirt.
Why here?
- 100 yards.
100 yards is 120 paces,
I figured out back there.
All here.
- Good.
Dig in.
- What for? We'll be out
of here in a couple of minutes.
I'm taking no chances.
Dig!
Well, I just conquered Italy.
You can have it.
I don't want any part of it.
I ain't going to give you any part of it.
I found the loving place and it's mine.
It's yours, cold.
- It can't be cold.
It's sunny Italy.
- You read the wrong book.
I read the soldiers' handbook
that said this was sunny Italy.
You calling the soldiers' handbook a liar?
- What page?
You always do. I wouldn't
trust you with a popgun.
- You've got to trust me with a popgun.
I'm a machine gunnner
with a machine gun.
'Things on that beach
suddenly went dead quiet.'
'The silence was bad.'
'Very bad.'
'Was the enemy 50 miles away?'
'Was he just behind
the beach head...'
'waiting?'
'If a machine gun
would only start up,'
'a man would know what to do.'
'But a man can't fight a vacuum.'
How long will Halverson take?
- Shouldn't be much longer.
- How do you know?
I know everything. What do you think
they gave me the Soldier's Medal for?
For pulling a nurse
out of a swimming pool.
I didn't think you knew.
I know everything. Who held up
the platoon in Sicily while he
stuck his snout in a barrel of wine?
I'd do it again if I knew
where there was a barrel.
Do you know where there's a barrel?
There it goes.
Well, we know where
we are now, all right.
Bet they get her in ten minutes.
When they do, the war will be over.
We just have to sit here and watch
the rest of it being fought out.
What are you batting
your gums about?
It's cold.
A profound comment.
It's always cold at dawn.
Even if I'm up all night with a girl,
or playing cards, or getting plastered,
dawn comes around I begin to shiver.
My feet grow icy,
my teeth chatter.
Me, I'm hot. You kill me.
Nothing can warm me.
Fire wouldn't be bad.
- No,
even a fire wouldn't do any good.
Profound comment.
Nine and one half minutes
to get the gun?
Why should it take Halverson so long?
- He'll show.
There was no need for the lieutenant
