  • [after an incoming artillery round lands dangerously close to the trench]

    Rosen: Translation: German artillery.

    Cepheglia: Which brings me to stuff. There're two kinds of stuff.

    Cepheglia: And all sorts of potato masher grenades. Don't worry about any of that 'cause it all comes down to that...

    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.
