Now, tomorrow... when you go over the top. You pick a point straight ahead and you walk to it. Now don't worry about where everybody else is. These are good men. They'll follow you. Now you go Ten yards, then ten more. Lt. Leak:

Ten yards at a time, and you can make the whole trip that way. Lt. Leak:
What about the Germans? Capt. McMurtry:
The boys know what to do with them. You'll figure it out pretty damn quick. Lt. Leak:
Most of my men have never been in combat before. Capt. McMurtry:
Yeah, we planned it that way. You've never been in a fight, have you? Lt. Leak:
Nothin' like this. Capt. McMurtry:
That's why you walk in front of the troops. See, you'll get there before they do. That means you'll be the one with the most experience. You can tell them what to do. Lt. Leak:
Yeah. That's right. Ain't it? Capt. McMurtry:
