James Franciscus: James Sorenson

Quotes 

• [Hayes and Sorenson are on the beach at Iwo Jima with mortar fire all around them] 

  James Sorenson : [hearing the cries of another soldier]  Somebody just die?

  Ira Hayes : House Mouse.

  James Sorenson : [after a long pause]  The two greatest things that can happen are when you're born and when you die. When you're born, you're with someone. I mean, you're with your mother. But when you die... you see, you never know when it'll happen, and... you could be with nobody. You know what I mean?

  [Hayes nods to the affirmative] 

  James Sorenson : I heard the last thing most people say when they die is "mama". Isn't that amazing. I, I mean even guys eighty years old whose mothers have been dead for ages, even them. It's like... like nothin's happened in all that time, it's all they think of.

  Ira Hayes : At least if you die here, you die with somebody. I mean, you die with your friends.

  [Sorenson places his arm over Hayes' shoulder in friendship] 

• James Sorenson : [to Hayes kiddingly]  If you're about to kiss me, banjo butt, I can tell you you're the wrong type.
