Pvt. Hugh MacDonald Quotes in The Devil's Brigade (1968)

Maj. Alan Crown: [after the Canadians finished singing a mocking version of 'Yankee Doodle'] Corporal Peacock, your stripes are not a licence to behave like an ass. There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks, is that clear?

Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: Yes, sir.

Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: [addressing the Canadians] There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks.

Pvt. Hugh MacDonald: Oh, would ordinary insults be acceptable, sir?

Pvt. Rockwell 'Rocky' Rockman: [Looking up the side of a cliff in Italy] "Holy cow, it's straight up!"

Pvt. Hugh MacDonald: [Seriously] "What's the beef? It's only a mile high."
