All Quiet on the Western Front Quote

Ginger - the Cook: [looking at soldiers lined up to eat] What do you want?

Katczinsky: Beans, you homely-looking son of a frog's leg! What do you think I want?

Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout that they're hungry] Shut up! I'll feed you when you're all here.

Tjaden: We're all here now!

Ginger - the Cook: Only half the company's here. Get the rest! Wake 'em up!

Katczinsky: [the men laugh] I wish I could wake 'em up. There's 80 of us left. The rest is in dressin' stations or pushin' up daisies!

Ginger - the Cook: [shocked] 80? And I cooked for 150!

Westhus: All right, we'll have enough for once. Come on, dish out!

Tjaden: You mean you've cooked beans for 150?
[the cook nods]

Tjaden: And you've got bread for 150 and sausage for 150 and tobacco for 150?

Ginger - the Cook: Everything. It's all wrong. I should have been notified!

Katczinsky: What a feast! Everyone gets two issues!
[the waiting men shout]

Katczinsky: [trying to keep order in the ranks] Get back in line! Get back in line!

Ginger - the Cook: Oh, no, that woun't do. I can't give 80 men what's meant for 150.

Katczinsky: [he starts to punch the cook but thinks better of it and tries to be persuasive] Listen, you drew rations for the Second Company, didn't yuh?

Ginger - the Cook: Yes.

Katczinsky: All right, we're the Second Company!
[the men shout]
