[after an incoming artillery round lands dangerously close to the trench]
Cepheglia: That's just some traveling salesman throwing iron cigars.
Rosen: Translation: German artillery.
Cepheglia: Which brings me to stuff. There're two kinds of stuff.
Rosen: Stuff going out, ours. Stuff comming in, theirs.
Cepheglia: Mud crunchers must learn to judge between different kinds of stuff. If you here something that whistles and knocks, that there is a whiz-bang. Get on the ground. Sometimes Herr whiz-bang brings along his lady friend, Minnie Waffer.
Rosen: Minenwerfer.
Cepheglia: Minnie Waffer sounds like one of those whining hot corn ladies on 10th Avenue.
Rosen: Nah, it's more like the B.R.T. coming out of the tubes.
Cepheglia: The thing is that they're real hard to judge. So just hit the ground anytime you hear something like that. And don't worry if it hits you, 'cause they got a lot of other stuff. Like Jack Johnsons, Whimpering Willies...
Rosen: G.I. Cans, airplane bombs, machine guns...
Cepheglia: And all sorts of potato masher grenades. Don't worry about any of that 'cause it all comes down to that...
[shows the troops his rifle with a fixed bayonet]
Rosen: When you go face-to-face with a mud crunching heinie bastard with one of these at the end of his rifle. You better stick it in him before he sticks it in you!
Cepheglia: That... you gotta worry about.
