Popular Dialogues

"[Sergeant Hills has been posted to the Spinal Unit] Sergeant 'Q' Hills: I don't know anything about paralysis. Dr. Ludwig Guttmann: You will learn. Become an expert. Sergeant 'Q' Hills: I'm a PT Instructor, not Jesus Christ. I don't raise men from the dead. Sorry. [Hills salutes and walks away] Dr. Ludwig Guttmann: You are a soldier. This is your posting. Sergeant 'Q' Hills: No. There's been some mistake. Dr. Ludwig Guttmann: Of course. I should be Head of Neurosurgery in Breslau, while watching children playing in the Oder. My friends and family should be enjoying the autumn in Silesia. But "some mistake" happened and most of them are in SS camps while I am here with you. So we must make the best of it."

"Dr. Cowan: Now, Heath, you may not remember me. Private William Heath: Oh, I remember you. You're the bastard who was measuring me up for a coffin."
