Before Inglorious Bastards,one of the silver screens all-time tough guys led a fine group of misfits & cons into WW2. Here are some quotes from the Dirty Dozen starring Lee Marvin:
Samson Posey: I reckon the folks'd be a sight happier if I died like a soldier. Can't say I would.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph T. Wladislaw: Killin' generals could get to be a habit with me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: You've seen a general inspecting troops before haven't you? Just walk slow, act dumb and look stupid!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victor R. Franko: Hey! What's the matter with you? You think I'm going to die? Ha! If you think that then you don't know Victor Franko.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: How come you speak German?
Joseph T. Wladislaw: My old man came from Silesia. He didn't speak German, he didn't dig coal. p He didn't dig coal, he didn't eat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: What do you think, Sergeant?
Sergeant Clyde Bowren: I think you'll do just fine, sir.
Major John Reisman: [emphatically] Don't give me that! I said what do you think?
Sergeant Clyde Bowren: I think the first chance one of those lovers gets, he's going to shoot the Major right in the head... sir.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Kinder has just finished a psychiatric evaluation of Reisman's troops]
Major John Reisman: So what does that give you?
Capt. Stuart Kinder: Doesn't give me anything. But along with these other results, it gives YOU just about the most twisted, anti-social bunch of psychopathic deformities I have ever run into! And the worst, the most dangerous of the bunch, is Maggott. You've got one religious maniac, one malignant dwarf, two near-idiots... and the rest I don't even wanna think about!
Major John Reisman: Well, I can't think of a better way to fight a war.
Capt. Stuart Kinder: These people don't know their enemy is the Germans. They think the enemy is their own United States Army!
Major John Reisman: Maybe that's because the Germans haven't done anything to them yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: Any questions?
Maggot: Suh? Do we have to eat with niggahs?
[Jefferson jumps Maggot]
Sergeant Clyde Bowren: [as Reisman exits the room] : What's going on, sir?
Major John Reisman: Oh, the gentleman from the South had a question about the dining arrangements. He and his comrades are discussing place settings now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: Boy, do I love that Franko.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: Which one of you guys wants to be a general?
[to Pinkley]
Major John Reisman: Pinkley?
Pinkley: What kind of general, sir?
Major John Reisman: Just a plain, ordinary, every day, home-lovin' American general.
Pinkley: I'd rather be a civilian, sir.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: I never went in for embroidery, just results
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinkley: [impersonating a general] Very pretty, General. Very pretty. But, can they fight?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinkley: [impersonating a General] Where are you from, son?
Soldier: Madison City, Missouri, sir!
Pinkley: Never heard of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: [briefing the dozen] Shoot any officers you see in there.
Victor R. Franko: Who? Ours or theirs?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maj. Gen. Worden: This war was NOT started for your private gratification, and you can be damned sure it's not being run for your personal convenience, either!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samson Posey: I don't want to hurt you Major.
Major John Reisman: You're not gonna hurt me, I'm gonna hurt you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maggot: It's judgment day, sinners!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Col. Everett Dasher Breed: What's your name, soldier?
Pinkley: Number two, Sir!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major John Reisman: You know what to do, feed the French and shoot the Germans!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capt. Stuart Kinder: [while the dozen are cavorting with the prostitutes in the guards' barracks] I wonder if any of them even know it's Mother's Day.
Major John Reisman: [glances at Kinder and pauses briefly] is it?
Jimmy you ever read the book it is a little different and goes more into backstory for the 12
