• Sgt. Sam Troy : [after watching the plane crash, Moffitt jumps behind the wheel of a Jeep]  Moffitt!

  Sgt. Jack Moffitt : That's my father, Troy! I have to go out there.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : No one could have survived that crash!

  Sgt. Jack Moffitt : I'll go alone, meet you back here.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : If we saw where that plane went down so did the Germans! You stay put, and you pick up the mission.

  Sgt. Jack Moffitt : But my father was the mission. He's the only man who could find that Roman highway.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : Now you're gonna have to find it. You're gonna have to take us back two centuries. You're gonna have to rediscover that old highway through the mountains for a battalion.

  Sgt. Jack Moffitt : Are you telling me that you're willing to let my father die out there? Abandon him, to go looking for a Roman road two thousand years old?

  Sgt. Sam Troy : No, I'm not telling you that. I'm telling you he's dead. And we can't risk any of us to go back for a dead man. Too many lives depend on this mission.

• Pvt. Mark Hitchcock : Y'know, losing your Dad is a terrible thing. But I didn't think Moffitt, with all his British reserve, would crack up this way.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : Your Dad's your Dad. It doesn't matter where you're from. I know how he feels.

• Sgt. Sam Troy : Where's Moffitt?

  Pvt. Tully Pettigrew : He's gone.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : Whaddaya mean he's gone?

  Pvt. Tully Pettigrew : Just gone.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : You mean he took off for that Arab town?

  Pvt. Tully Pettigrew : Now that you mention it, he did say something like that.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : Then why didn't you try and stop him?

  Pvt. Tully Pettigrew : Well, you see, it was like this. You said if he came near this Jeep to shoot him. I was in this Jeep all the time. He took that Arab's clothes. He never came near the Jeep.

• Sgt. Sam Troy : Moffitt! You move one inch in that Jeep... and I'll shoot you as a deserter.

• Sgt. Jack Moffitt : If my father is out there dead, the least I can do is bury him.

  Sgt. Sam Troy : All right. All right, let's go.
