Capt. Miller
[Goes to soldiers huddled behind a beach obstacle]
The seawall! Move up to the seawall!
Soldier
Sir, I'm staying!
Capt. Miller
Clear this beach, make way for the others!
Soldier
This is all we've got between us and the Almighty!
Capt. Miller
Every inch of this beach has been pre-sighted! You stay here, you're dead men!
Capt. Miller
Sergeant Horvath! Do you recognize where we are?
Sgt. Horvath
Right where we're supposed to be, but no one else is!
Soldier
Nobody's where they're supposed to be!
Capt. Miller
Is this all, all that's made it?
Sgt. Horvath
We're scattered pretty bad, sir. There's bound to be more of us.
Capt. Miller
Not enough. This is not enough.
Sgt. Horvath
Dog One exit, it's got to be that cut on the right, or is it the one on the left? Shit!
Capt. Miller
No, no, no, Vierville is to the west of us, this is Dog One.
Soldier
They're killing us! And we don't have a **** chance, and that ain't fair!
[Miller and his group have arrived at the outskirts of Neuville. Miller is speaking to Hamill.]
How was the road in?
Capt. Miller
Scenic. We lost most of our ammo.
Not to mention one of our men.
[Speaking to another soldier]
Lieutenant, redeploy that bazooka to the other side of the road!
Soldier
Yes, sir!
And get Ryan up here.
Soldier
[Running away from Hamill]
Ryan! Ryan! Front and center! Ryan!
[Seeing Ryan running down the road]
Here comes our boy. [Ryan runs past Reiben. At Horvath.] Told ya he was an asshole.
James Frederick Ryan
[At Hamill]
Sir, Private Ryan, reporting as ordered, sir!
At ease. Captain Miller 2nd Rangers wants a word with you.
Capt. Miller
[Directing Ryan]
This way. [Miller stops and sits on a rock] Take a knee. [He does so, taking his helmet off as well. Pause] Private, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. [Pause] Well, there isn't any real easy way to say this, so, uh...I'll just say it. Your brothers are dead. [Ryan has a saddened look on his face.] We have, uh, orders to come get you 'cause you're going home. [There is a long pause]
James Frederick Ryan
[crying]
Oh, my God, my brothers are dead. I was gonna take 'em fishing when I got home...
Capt. Miller
I'm so sorry, James.
James Frederick Ryan
[sniffling]
H-How'd they die?
Capt. Miller
They were killed in action.
James Frederick Ryan
T-That can't be. That can't be, my brothers are still in grammar school.
Capt. Miller
You're James Ryan?
James Frederick Ryan
Yeah.
Capt. Miller
James Francis Ryan from Iowa?
James Frederick Ryan
James Frederick Ryan, Minnesota? [Hamill has a confused look on his face] W...Does that mean my brothers are okay?
Capt. Miller
Yeah, I'm sure they're fine.
James Frederick Ryan
Are you sure that they're okay though? How-
Capt. Miller
We're looking for a different Private Ryan. This is just a big foul-up.
