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 ]
Ginger - the Cook : I got my orders.
Albert Kropp : [ agreeing with Kat ] That's right.
Paul Bäumer : We're the Second Company and if only half of us get back, that's our good luck. Come on, dish it out!
