Quotes
-
Merriell Shelton : Saw you readin' last night.
Eugene B. Sledge : My Bible?
Merriell Shelton : Writin', too. Ain't supposed to write shit down, you know. Gives the Japs valuable intel if they find it.
Eugene B. Sledge : Guess I won't show it to 'em, then.
Merriell Shelton : [he grins] Got a smoke?
[Eugene hands him two cigarettes]
Merriell Shelton : Thanks, Sledgehammer.
Cpl. R.V. Burgin : "Sledgehammer." I like that.
PFC Bill Leyden : [in mild disgust] Jesus Christ.
Merriell Shelton : Don't worry, we got a nickname for you too, Bill Leyden. We call you Ball-Peen Hammer. Like a little hammer, for a little man.
PFC Bill Leyden : All right, "Snafu." Shit... 'n' ass... fuck-up.
Merriell Shelton : Little joke from the little man.
