- Sgt. Vinson: Collins, that's deep enough. Roll him in and cover him up. Let's move!
- Pvt. Collins: You mean without reading the Good Book?
- Sgt. Vinson: If he needs our help to make it upstairs, he's in worse shape than he looks.
- Sgt. Vinson: I need a six-foot hole dug. Any volunteers?
- Pvt. McGurney: Don't look at me, Sergeant. I'm too overcome with grief.
- Pvt. Pendelton: Well, I certainly can't do that!
- Pvt. Collins: All right, I'll be the goat. Half the tobacco?
- Pvt. McGurney: Collins, three feet will be plenty. He was only half a man.
- Pvt. McGurney: Heaven help us all.
- Pawnee: There is much talk of heaven. Very fine place. But who's anxious to go there?
- Pvt. McGurney: Get along with you, you little heathen!
