“I’ve got to make you men strong. Because tonight, we’re going to march the platoon off a 3,000 foot cliff. Dying makes a man out of you. I died in the war, they cremated me. And they buried the ashes, right here in my skull.”
— Eugene Morris Jerome (Matthew Broderick), Biloxi Blues (1988), screenplay by Neil Simon, based on his play
