George Offerman Jr.: Pvt. Tinker

Quotes 

• Windy : Hey, Tinker? How do you spell "Mare Nostrum?"

  Tinker : What's that?

  Windy : The Mediterranean. It's what the Eye-ties call it. It means "our sea."

  Tinker : Why?

  Windy : I'm writing to my sister.

  Tinker : Whattya mean, you're writing to your sister? You're packed on a landing barge, bouncing on your Mare Nostrum, and waiting to hit the beach like the rest of us slobs.
