"Christ, I'm freezin'," Toglio shouted
"Let's... "Christ, I'm freezin'," Toglio shouted
"Let's get out of here," Wyman saidHe was covered with mud and his lips were chattering"Goddam rain," he said
They stumbled out of the hole, and began to run toward the motor pool where there would be some shelter in the lee of the trucksToglio staggered as though he had lost some necessary ballast and was being driven downwind without any way to control himselfGoldstein shouted to him, "I forgot my rifle
"You don't need it," he bawled back
Goldstein tried to halt and turn around but it was impossible"You never can tell," he heard himself shoutThey were running side by side, but it felt as if they were roaring to each other across a vast roomGoldstein had a moment of glee

He and Toglio were blown into the motor poolThey collided as they tried to turn and went sprawling in the mudGoldstein felt like lying there without getting up, but he put his hands against the ground, pushed and went staggering behind one of the trucksAlmost the entire company was in the trucks or bunched together in the lee of themThere were about twenty men clustered together behind the truck he had reachedThey stood there shivering and huddled together for warmth, their teeth chattering from the icy rainThe sky was an immense

Toglio was trying to light a cigarette, but it soaked through and came apart in his mouth before he could get his matches out of his waterproof pouchHe threw it to the ground and watched it dissolve in the mudDespite the fact that he was completely wet, the rain still hurt; every drop that went down his back was like a cold slug, shocking and loathsomeHe turned to the man next to him, and shouted, "Your tent go down?"
"Yeah
It made Toglio feel betterHe rubbed his black unshaved chin, and felt intimate suddenly with all the men, liked them immensely with a burst of warmthThey were all good guys, good Americans, he told himselfIt took Americans to

Red and Wilson, who were standing a few feet away, had begun to singRed's voice was deep and gruff, and Toglio laughed as he listened to them

they sang, and jogged up and down to warm their feet
Once I built a railroad, now it's done,

Once I built a tower to the sun,
Bricks and, rivet and lime,
Once I built a tower, now it's done,
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Toglio joined in on the last line, and Red beckoned to himThe three of them kept

Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' thru Hell,
I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they call me Al?
It was Al all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal?
