Patton Quote
Patton : What's the matter with you?
Soldier Who Gets Slapped : Well, I... I guess I... I can't take it anymore.
Patton : What did you say?
Soldier Who Gets Slapped : It's my nerves, sir. I... I just can't stand the shelling anymore.
Patton : Your *nerves*? Well, hell, you're nothing but a God-damned coward. [ Soldier start sniveling ]
Patton : Shut up! [ Slaps him, once forehanded, then backhanded on the rebound ]
Patton : I'm not going to have a man sitting here *crying*! In front of these brave men who have been wounded in battle! [ Soldier snivels some more, and Patton swings a vicious forehand slap, knocking his helmet away ]
Patton : *Shut up!* [ to the doctors ]
Patton : Don't admit this yellow bastard. There's nothing wrong with him. I won't have a man who's just afraid to fight *stinking up this place of honor!* You will get him back up to the front. [ to soldier ]
Patton : You're going back to the front, boy. You may get shot, and you may get killed, but you're going back to the fighting. Either that, or I'll stand you up before a firing squad. Why, I ought to shoot you right now, you... [ pulls his service automatic. At that, the doctors leap forward and hustle the soldier out of the tent. Patton keeps shouting at the soldier's back ]
Patton : God-damned bastard! Get him out of here! Take him back to the *front! You hear me? You God-damned coward!* [ Takes deep breath ]
Patton : I won't have cowards in my army.
