• Cpl. Denno : Some men are afraid of high places. Some are afraid of water. And some are afraid of being responsible for the death of a lot of other guys.

• [Denno tries to dig a bullet out of Rock's gut] 

  Cpl. Denno : We'll get it out, Rock. Maybe it was spent by the time it hits ya. Maybe it's not in too deep.

  Sgt. Rock : Don't get your tail in a roar, Denno, I ain't dead yet.

  Ramirez : Every Red out there is out of action. We make sure this time, Rock.

  Sgt. Rock : Tell Denno. He's in charge, now.

  Cpl. Denno : You're in command as long as you're alive.

  Sgt. Rock : Denno, you got the command now, whether you want it or not. It's all yours.

  Cpl. Denno : You're gonna live, Rock.

  Sgt. Rock : I'm dead.

  Cpl. Denno : Listen, Rock... I'm no good without you.

  Sgt. Rock : Remember what I told you. Killin's a business. It'll be a lot easier from now on, like spittin'.

  Cpl. Denno : [exhaling sharply]  Rock...

  Sgt. Rock : I told ya. I'm dead.

  [Denno looks slowly up at Rock, who is staring back at him, and it dawns on him that Rock really is dead]
