Rose: I was listening to the BB's stories, too. It's heartbreaking...
Snake: Those things happen every day on the battlefield - they're never easy to hear.

Snake: Maybe not, but that suits me just fine.
Rose: Snake!
Snake: Look, maybe it seems callous to you, but that's how things are out here - we're talking about survival.
