Warren "Skip" Muck: (introducing a reinforcement by talking him trough the wounds the Easy Company soldiers had) Even first Sergeant Lipton over there got hit! He got a couple of pieces of a tank shell burst in Carentan. One chunk in the face, another chunk almost took out his nuts.
Bill Guarnere: How are those nuts Serge?
Carwood Lipton: Doing fine, Bill. Nice of you to ask. (edit) Carwood Lipton: (narrating) The morning after the shelling that killed Muck and Penkala, I saw a soldier trying to dig a foxhole with his bare hands. He didn't even notice that he'd torn off all his fingernails. (edit) George Luz: (imitating Lt. Dike) Sgt. Lipton, you take care of things here and I'm gonna go for help. I got to go polish my oak leaf clusters. (edit) (after Compton has a breakdown)
Carwood Lipton: I guess he just couldn't take seeing his friends Toye and Guarnere all torn up like that. And nobody thought any less of him for it. (edit) Penkala: "Don't do anything stupid"? Who's he talking to? A bunch of morons who volunteered to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. (edit)
