Corporal Paris : [the condemned men are awaiting execution] See that cockroach?
[cutaway to the cockroach]
Corporal Paris : Tomorrow morning, we'll be dead, and it'll be alive. It'll have more contact with my wife and child than I will. I'll be nothing, and it'll be alive.
Private Ferol : [Ferol smashes the roach with his hand and adds with smiling sarcasm] Now you've got the edge on him!

Saint-Auban : How far did you advance?
Private Ferol : To about the middle of no man's land, sir.
Saint-Auban : Then what did you do?
Private Ferol : Well... I saw that me and Meyer...
Saint-Auban : [rudely cutting him off] I didn't ask you what you saw. The court has no concern with your visual experiences.
Private Ferol : I went back, sir.
Saint-Auban : In other words, Private Ferol, you retreated.
Private Ferol : Yes, sir.
Saint-Auban : [to the judges in a cocky tone] I have no further questions.
