| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Post; the Dirty Dozen"Killin' generals could get to be a habit with me" Joseph T. Wladislaw: charles bronsans role Major John Reisman: Which one of you guys wants to be a general? 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: What do you think, Sergeant? Sergeant Clyde Bowren: I think you'll do just fine, sir. Major John Reisman: [emphatically] 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.

| Tirones | That is like one of my all time favorite classic war movies. It doesn't get better than Lee Marvin (Maj. John Reisman) in the dirty dozen. He was a hardcore, hard chargin s.o.b. in that movie. I also loved Telly Savalas' character (Archer J. Maggot), he played a pretty good crazy guy. But it doesn't get anybetter that the scene where they are getting Donald Sutherland (Vernon L. Pinkley) to be a general. That was great! Mike |

| Optio | yeah, It took me a time or two watching it before I liked the over all story, but I always liked the Maj. He was just too cool. Maj: The southern gentleman had a problem with the dining arragements. He and the other fellas are dicussing the placement of the placard. Sgt: So Corpal how about the dodegers? I always thought they had good hitters. Maj: You can either march or I'll kick your brains in. Fargo: ........???..... Maj: What'd you see Sgt.? Sgt: I saw the prisioner attack the Maj and the Maj was forced to defened himself. Very good Sgt.

| Optio | :At the beginning after the MPs are calling out the numbers of the men: Major Reisman: What's your name, soldier? Soldier: Eleven Now, I can't remember the soldier's name, even though I own the film, but I haven't watched it in a while, but it was the insubordinate one. Struck me funny.
