"The assignment was to take the hill. There were four of us, five if you counted Vicente, but he had lost his hand when a grenade went off and couldn't fight as he could when I first met him.

And he was young and brave, and the hill was soggy from days of rain. And it sloped down toward a road and there were many German soldiers on the road. And the idea was to aim for the first group, and if our aim was true we could delay them."

Corey Stoll says all of this in one breath it seems. No blinks. The dialogue is so great. It's the kind of dialogue that you just repeat randomly, unprompted.

When I saw that Stoll was bald, I couldn't believe it.

At another point, he goes,

“I believe that love that is true and real, creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing. And then the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face, like some rhino-hunters I know or Belmonte, who is truly brave… It is because they make love with sufficient passion, to push death out of their minds… until it returns, as it does, to all men… and then you must make really good love again."

I love highly stylized dialogue. Do you guys think it is more interesting or should characters talk more so like in real life?

Kubrick made a point about it in some interview that over the top acting was more interesting.

Would love to also hear some favorite dialogue that has stayed with you throughout the years.

Another one, for me, is Don's fight with Peggy about the commercial in Mad Men.

"But, you never say thank you!"

"That's what the money's FORRRRR" LOL
