Lt. Col. Gordon Tall: The only time you should start worrying
about a soldier is when they stop bitchin'.
Sgt. Welsh: If I should never find you in this life, let
me feel the lack. One glance from your eyes, and my life
will be yours.
Private Witt: Do you ever feel lonely? First Sgt. Edward
Welsh: Only when I'm around people.
Pvt. Jack Bell: Love. Where does it come from? Who lit this
flame in us? No war can put it out, conquer it. I was a
prisoner. You set me free.
Lt. Col. Gordon Tall: It's never necessary to tell me that
you think I'm right. We'll just... assume it.
Japanese Soldier: Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence
lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too.
Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you
loved goodness and truth?
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: There's not some other world out
there where everything's gonna be okay. There's just this
one, just this rock.
Capt. James 'Bugger' Staros: I've lived with these men,
sir, for two and a half years and I will not order them
all to their deaths.
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: I might be your best friend, and
you don't even know it.
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: In this world, a man, himself,
is nothing. And there ain't no world but this one.
Private Witt: I seen another world. Sometimes I think it
was just my imagination.
Private Witt: Maybe all men got one big soul everybody's
a part of, all faces are the same man.
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: What difference do you think you
can make, one man in all this madness?
Private Witt: I can take anything you dish out. I am twice
the man you are.
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: Property. The whole fucking thing's
about property.
Colonel Gordon Tall: How many men is it worth? How many
lives? One? Two? Twenty? Lives will be lost in your company,
Captain. If you don't have the stomach for it, now is the
time to let me know.
Colonel Gordon Tall: Look at this jungle. Look at those
vines, the way they twine around, swallowing everything.
Nature's cruel, Staros.
Private Train: [narrating] What is this great evil? How
did it steal into the world? From what seed, what root did
it spring? Who's doing this? Who's killing us? Robbing us
of light and life. Mocking us with the sight of what we
might have known.
Private Witt: [narrating] Oh my soul, let me be in you now.
Look out through my eyes, look out at the things you've
made. All things shining.
Private Jack Bell: My dear wife, you get something twisted
out of your insides by all this blood, filth, and noise.
I want to stay changeless for you. I want to come back to
you the man I was before.
