James Edwards credited as playing...
Sergeant William George Meeks
- Patton: I've always felt that I was destined for some great achievement, what I don't know.
- Sgt. William Meeks: Yes, sir.
- Patton: The last great opportunity of a lifetime - an entire world at war, and I'm left out of it? God will not permit this to happen! I will be allowed to fulfill my destiny! His will be done.
- Sgt. William Meeks: [to Patton, after the slapping incident got him relieved of command of the Seventh Army] One little dogface... one measly slap... that's what done it.
- Patton: [ruefully] Ah, George... I wish I'd *kissed* the son-of-a bitch.
