• George Halley : [the men are taking cover in a bombed-out farmhouse, shooting at German soldiers somewhere off-screen. Lloyd takes aim at a German soldier, but hesitates, then lowers his rifle]  Whatsa' matta', "Harvard," did you lose the Heine?

  Lloyd Hart : No... but he looks like a kid, about 15 years old.

  George Halley : -

  [Aims his rifle and without any hesitation shoots the young German soldier] 

  George Halley : He won't be sixteen.

  [Seconds later, a fellow soldier rushes in to tell them the war is over, the Armistice has been signed] 

• Eddie Bartlett : One thing, Lloyd. They tell me your boss is building a case against our old friend, George.

  Lloyd Hart : The case is already built, Eddie.

  Eddie Bartlett : Yeah, well, you remember what he said would happen if you ever told what you knew about him?

  Lloyd Hart : I remember.

  Eddie Bartlett : So does he.

• Lloyd Hart : [the men are taking cover in a bombed-out farmhouse, shooting at German soldiers somewhere off-screen]  When is this "armistice" they've been talking about for the past four days?

  Eddie Bartlett : That's just another rumor. This brawl's gonna' go on forever.

  Lloyd Hart : If I ever get back, I'm gonna' have a swell law office in the Woolworth Building. Have it all picked out, on the 28th floor. Can see the whole city: the Bay, Brooklyn...

  Eddie Bartlett : Whaddya' wanna' look at Brooklyn for?

• George Halley : [In the shell hole, battle raging overhead]  What's a matta' kid? Ya' scared?

  Lloyd Hart : Yes I am.

  George Halley : [Chuckles unsympathetically]  No heart, huh?

  Lloyd Hart : I'm beginning to think so. At least I haven't got any heart for this. I thought this business would be over with before I got here.

  George Halley : What, are you a college kid?

  Lloyd Hart : I just finished law school.

  Eddie Bartlett : Oh, a lawyer, huh? Can you think of anything that can get us out of this hole?

  George Halley : Aw, he wouldn't if he could. He's one of them guys that cheer the loudest back home, and then when they get over here and the goin' gets tough they fold up.

  Eddie Bartlett : [Annoyed]  Shut up...

  George Halley : I'm talkin' to him...

  Eddie Bartlett : [Talking to George]  And I'm talkin' to YOU. I don't like heroes or big mouths. We're all scared, and why shouldn't we be? Whaddya' think they're usin' in this war, water pistols?

  Eddie Bartlett : [Talking to Lloyd]  You're all right, kid. I like guys who are honest with themselves. Stay that way.

  Eddie Bartlett : [the shelling around them has died down]  Come on. It looks like it's quieted down.

  [the three men make their way out of the shell hole] 

• Lloyd Hart : This is too much for what I did. Buying a couple of taxicabs for you doesn't rate this kind of money..

  Eddie Bartlett : You saved me dough. Take it. That's just the beginning. You hang on to my shirttails and you'll be using that for wallpaper.

  Lloyd Hart : Now, listen, Eddie, you ought to use those cabs as cabs. You're on the wrong track.

  Eddie Bartlett : This dough says I'm not. Look, kid, while the gravy's flowing, I'm gonna be right there with my kisser under the faucet.

  Lloyd Hart : This isn't my kind of law. I started out to be a corporation lawyer.

  Eddie Bartlett : This is a corporation. It's making money.
