Lt. Aldo Raine:Well, I speak the most Italian, so I'll be your escort. Donowitz speaks the second most, so he'll be your Italian cameraman. Omar speaks third most, so he'll be Donny's assistant.

Lt. Aldo Raine:Like I said, third best. Just keep your fuckin' mouth shut. In fact, why don't you start practicing, right now!

Great dialogue, great direction, sublime performances and original in its depiction of a war picture that's been repainted a thousand times before, but seldom with such entertainment - Tarantino's best in my opinion.
