As in Omaha Beach on D-Day? The GI who examines his helmet after it takes a bullet, and then has his brains blown out a second later? _ **Saving Private Ryan** _.

After I posted this, I remembered the line was also said by a GI (possibly the late Norman Lloyd, but I’d have to see the movie again to be sure) who is sniped in _ **A Walk in the Sun** _ (1945). I wonder if this inspired Spielberg at all.

**A:**" I think we’re dealing with a haint, man."  
**B:** “What the fuck is a haint?”  
**A:** “That’s a cross between The Abominable Snowman and Willie the Werewolf.”

The two cops investigating the Watts murders in _ **Dr Black and Mr Hyde** _ (1976).

**A:** “Haben Sie ein Pferd für mich?”  
**B:** “Nein. Wir haben nur drei. Ein zu wenig.”  
**A:** “Nein. Zwei zu viel.”

Charles Bronson and Jack Elam at the start of _ **Once upon a Time in the West** _ (German edition).
