Captain Severance:
Look, I've had to make a few other changes. I'm promoting you, to Platoon sergeant. Mike Strank:
Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. Captain Severance:
You bet. Mike Strank:
The trouble is, I already told my men I'd see them through this. Captain Severance:
That your James Cagney impersonation? 'Cause I've heard better. Mike Strank:
Well, I'll keep practicing, then. Captain Severance:
Look, this isn't your first time through this. You don't need to prove anything. Mike Strank:
No, sir. Captain Severance:

Yes, sir, he is. Captain Severance:
The men know him, he can step right in. You know, I have actually thought this through. Platoon sergeant puts you further away from the bullets. Mike Strank:
I already gave them my word, sir. I told them I'd bring them all home to their mothers, which means I already lied to half of them. Can't lie to the rest
