Private Witt: [voice over] This great evil. Where does it come from? How’d it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who’s doin’ this? Who’s killin’ us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin’ us with the sight of what we might’ve known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed to this night?
Hauntingly spoken in the film as a squadron of soldiers are advancing up a hill, with the unavoidable suspicion of death looming. Wind wisks the grass creating the audio backdrop for the beginning of one of the bigger “firefights” in the movie.
