Tiffany: I was a big slut, but I'm not anymore. There will always be a part of me that is sloppy and dirty, but I like that, just like all the other parts of myself. I can forgive. Can you say the same for yourself, fucker? Can you forgive? Are you c...
Tiffany: You might not of had experienced the shit that I did, but you loved hearing about it, didn't you? You're afraid to be alive, you're afraid to live. You're a conformist. You're a hypocrite. You're a liar. I opened up to you and you judged me!
Captain Miller: [on Omaha Beach] Bangalors up the line!Bagalors up the line! Sergeant Horvath: Heads up, bangers comin' your way. Private Caparzo: [a soldier's helmet is struck by a bullet and he then takes it off] Jesus, lucky bastard. [the other so...
