Lt. Aldo Raine: My name is Lt. Aldo Raine and I need me eight

soldiers. Eight Jewish-American soldiers. Now, yall might of heard

rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, well be leaving a

little earlier. Were gonna be dropped into France, dressed as

civilians. And once were in enemy territory, as a bushwackin

guerrilla army, were gonna be doing one thing and one thing

only... killing Nazis. Members of nationalist socialist party

conquered Europe through murder, torture, intimation, and terror.

And thats exactly what were gonna do to them. Now, I dont know

about yall, but I sure as hell didnt come down from the goddamn

Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way

through half Sicily and then jump out of a ****in air-o-plane to

teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi aint got no humanity.

Theyre the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin, mass murderin maniac

and they need to be dee-stroyed. Thats why every son of a bitch we

find wearin a Nazi uniform, theyre gonna die. We will be cruel to

the Germans and through our cruelty they will know who we are. They

will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled,

dismembered, disfigured bodies their brothers we leave behind us

and the Germans will not be able to help themselves from imagining

the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, at our boot heels,

and the edge of our knives. And the Germans will be sickened by us,

the Germans will talk about us and the Germans will fear us. And

when the Germans close their eyes at night and their subconscious

tortures them for the evil theyve done, it will be with thoughts

of us that it tortures them with. Sound good?

The Basterds: YES, SIR!

Lt. Aldo Raine: Thats what I like to hear. But I got a word of

warning to all would-be warriors. When you join my command, you

take on a debt. A debt you owe me personally. Each and every man

under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my

scalps. And all yall will git me one hundred Nazi scalps, taken

from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis. Or you will die tryin.
