George Halley: [In the shell hole, battle raging overhead]
What's a matta kid? Ya scared?
Lloyd Hart:
Yes I am.
George Halley: [Chuckles unsympathetically]
No heart, huh?
Lloyd Hart:
I'm beginning to think so. At least I haven't got any heart for this. I thought this business would be over with before I got here.
George Halley:
What, are you a college kid?
Lloyd Hart:
I just finished law school.
Eddie Bartlett:
Oh, a lawyer, huh? Can you think of anything that can get us out of this hole?
George Halley:
Aw, he wouldn't if he could. He's one of them guys that cheer the loudest back home, and then when they get over here and the goin gets tough they fold up.
Eddie Bartlett: [Annoyed]
Shut up...
George Halley:
I'm talkin to him...
Eddie Bartlett: [to Lloyd]
And I'm talkin to you. I don't like heels or big mouths. We're all scared, and why shouldn't we be? Whaddya think they're usin in this war, water pistols? You're all right, kid. I like guys who are honest with themselves. Stay that way.
