BLOOD UPON THE RISERS!

The episode in the ninth episode,

Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
He ain't gonna jump no more.
"Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up.
Our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up.
He jumped into ;the icy blast, his static line unhooked.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock.
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop.
The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome.
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones.
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.
And he ain't gonna jump&n bsp;no more.

The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind.
He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind.
He thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild.
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled.
For it had been a week or more since last a'chute had failed.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high.
His comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die."
He lay there rolling'round in the welter of his gore.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the'chute.
Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit.
He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

his static line unhooked: His static line unhooked.
he waited for the shock.: He waited for the shock, it should be the decelerating shock of the umbrella opening.

The risers swung around his neck,: The hook rope goes around.
connectors cracked his dome.: Some connecting device tore the parachute.
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.: The pre-opened umbrella became a rope knot, and he rolled and fell to the ground.

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Sgt. Alton More: I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.

    Ronald Spiers: So, you looked at 'em, but you didn't take 'em?

    Sgt. Alton More: That's right, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: I don't believe you! I'll be watching you. You're dismissed.

    [as Moore leaves, smirking]

    Ronald Spiers: You'd better not be lying to me.

  • Ronald Spiers: What?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Sir, if it's not going to put you in too much of a bind, I'd like to resign as company First Sergeant. If I had my choice, I miss being back amongst the men. I'd be happy to go to as Staff Sergeant, whichever platoon you want to put me in.

    Ronald Spiers: Well, I guess you've earned your right to demote yourself.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Thank you, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: You wanna take over Sergeant Grant's platoon?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: That would do fine, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: Alright then, report to Lieutenant Peacock. Let me know if he gives you any trouble.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Oh, sir? You make your decision yet?

    Ronald Spiers: Yeah, I did.
