Luz: (impersonating General Taylor) Gimme three days and three nights of hard fightin', and you will be relieved! (edit)
Frank Perconte: How far do you think we're going?
George Luz: Jesus Christ, Frank, I don't know. Until they tell us to stop! (edit)
Nixon: Harry, what exactly are you doing with your reserve chute? You've been hauling that thing around ever since we jumped?
Harry: Gonna send it to Kitty when we get back to England. Silk. Figure it'll make a good wedding dress, you know, what with rationing and all.
Nixon: Geez, Harry, I never would have guessed.
Harry: What, that I'm so sentimental?
Nixon: No, that you think we're going to make it back to England. (edit)
Perconte: (about his collection of souvenir watches) They're all ticking, unlike their previous owners. (edit)
Luz: (imitating Gen. Taylor) Now the thing to remember, flies cause disease, so keep yours closed! (edit)

Trivia

Goof: When the troops enter the city of Carentan, they're being attacked by a German M42 from a window and fire back. During this exchange, bullet-holes appear and disappear on the advertisement-sign attached to the house. (edit)
