Miguel A. Núñez Jr.: Pvt. Marcus Taylor

Quotes 

• Pvt. Marcus Taylor : [Bravo company is taking abreak while out in the bush on patrol. Taylor is cleaning his feet]  Man, my whole body turnin' into one big fungus - my 'hind, my knees, my armpits, my crotch. Stuff's still spreading, gonna turn me all green.

  SP4 Marvin Johnson : Well look at it like this, Marcus, at least there's less prejudice against green people back in the world.

  Pvt. Marcus Taylor : Man, I got 45 days and a wake up. I can't go home, my skin flakin' off me, smelling like I been dead for two weeks!

  SP4 Marvin Johnson : Ain't anybody gonna know you anyway.

  Pvt. Marcus Taylor : [Scoffs]  Those girls back home dying there wanting for me. Coz I'm the trash talker, the woman stalker, the booty shaker and the baby maker.

  Sgt. Clayton 'Zeke' Anderson : [Johnson rolls his eyes; Zeke walks over and sits behind Taylor]  Well now, well now, just makes my heart leap with joy to hear another poet celebrating another morning in the bush.

  Pvt. Marcus Taylor : Glad somebody's happy.

  Sgt. Clayton 'Zeke' Anderson : Well, tell you what Taylor - I'm cold, I'm wet, I'm hungry, I'm tried, dirty and I stink! That's everything a good rifleman lives for, hey Johnson...

  [Johnson smiles] 

  Pvt. Marcus Taylor : You forgot ugly...

  Sgt. Clayton 'Zeke' Anderson : Zeke: No I didn't

  [grins mischievously] 

  Sgt. Clayton 'Zeke' Anderson : [Taylor turns his head to Zeke and looks worried; Johnson laughs]  Zeke: You guys ready to move your tails down the trail?... Zeke: Since you're so glib all this morning, I'm gonna let you take point.
