Band of Brothers Season 1 Episode 7

Warren "Skip" Muck: (introducing a reinforcement by talking him through 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, Sarge?
Carwood Lipton: Doing fine, Bill. Nice of you to ask.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

Carwood Lipton: (narrating) Lt. Dike wasn't a bad leader because he made bad decisions. He was a bad leader because he made no decisions.

Guarnere: Hey Joe. Good to see ya pal.
Toye: You too.
Guarnere: What the hell are you doing back here?
Toye: I had to make sure you were on top of things.
Guarnere: Yeah, we're on top of things. I even tied me own boots last week, all by meself. Hey fellas, look who I found.
Warren Muck: Hey, Joe Toye, back for more.

Nixon: Division has decided to pluck one officer from each regiment who served in the heroic defense of Bastone and send them back to the States on a thirty day furlough, get him out banging the drum for the war bond, that kinda thing. Turns out I've been plucked
Richard Winters: Hey, that's fantastic Lew, good for you.
Nixon: Thank you.
Richard Winters: But how does your leaving help me?
Nixon: Doesn't, I'm not going. I've already seen the States, I grew up there. That's why I came to Europe, just wish they told me a war was going on. Anyway, this thing is wasted on me, but I'm sure we could find an officer somewhere in this battalion that could use a long trip home.

Ronald Spiers: You wanna know if they're true or not. The stories about me? Did you ever notice with stories like that, everyone says they heard it from someone who was there. Then when you ask that person, they say they heard it from someone who was there. It's nothing new really. I bet if you went back two thousand years, you'd hear a couple centurions standing around yakking about how Tercius lopped off the heads of some Carthaginian prisoners.
Carwood Lipton: Well, maybe they kept talking about it because they never heard Tercius deny it.
Ronald Spiers: Maybe that's because Tercius knew there was some value to the men thinking he was the meanest, toughest sonofabitch in the whole Roman Legion.

Warren Muck: I swam the across the Niagara once.
Alex Penkala: Yeah?
Warren Muck: I swear. On a bet.
George Luz: What, in a barrel?
Warren Muck: No... God! I didn't go over the falls, George. I swam across the river. Ten miles up from the Falls. I tell ya that current is damn strong. It must have carried me at least two miles down stream before I made it across, but I got across. Now personally, I didn't think it was all that stupid. But my mom and my sister Ruth... they gave me all kinds of hell.
Alex Penkala: Well, they do have a point. You're an idiot

Lipton: (narrating as Captain Spiers runs across the battlefield) They didn't shoot, probably because they couldn't believe their eyes from what they saw. But the most amazing thing was, after he made contact with I company, he came back.
