gripe
Private Reiben:"So Captain, what about you? I mean you don't gripe at all?"
Captain Miller:"I don't gripe to you Reiben. I'm a captain. There's a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down, always up. You gripe to me, I gripe to my superior officer, so on, so on and so on. I don't gripe to you. I don't gripe in front of you. You should know that, your a Ranger."
Private Reiben:"Well I'm sorry, sir, but let's say you weren't a Captain, or maybe I was a Major. What would you say then?"
Captain Miller:"In that case, I'd say this is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir. Worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover, I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men, especially you, Reiben, to ease her suffering."
