Summary
“An’ what was it? Your thought,” Boyd asks, cracking open an iodine swab and painting the wound and surrounding area carefully. If it hurts, Don doesn't give him any indication. He certainly doesn't lose the crooked little smile on his face, a smile which Boyd knows very well means he's up to no good.
“Well. Thanks to you boys, the whole damn platoon is calling me Wardaddy, these days,” he says, in that same drawl. Boyd snorts. This is true enough, although Boyd had nothing to do with it. “What do you figure that makes you, Bible?”

“How many of those is it gonna take to make you my wife?” Don asks. “A hundred?”
For a moment Boyd is speechless, breathless, then he starts to laugh. It feels good to laugh - there has been little to smile about, let alone laugh about, these days.

Summary
Don doesn't know how lucky he is. Binkowski stifles a snort. Or maybe he does know how lucky he is, because he sure keeps Boyd in his goddamn pocket. It ain't often that Binkowski gets a word with him, let alone finds him all on his lonesome.
After the day he's had, it feels like a blessing straight from the Lord.

Summary
His gunner is a fine make, in more ways than one. Behind the Fury's 76 mm gun he is unparalleled - killer instincts, a crack shot and a steady, obedient disposition that makes him a goddamn pleasure to command. During a firefight he is quiet, focused, saying not much more than “Roger,” to acknowledge orders, and “On the way!” when he hits the pedal and fires - it is the only time Boyd drops the “yes sir, no sir,” his manners demand, even when Don himself doesn't. These days Don can hear it in his sleep, “On the way!” in Boyd's honey sweet accent, a sign his nightmare is about to end. His gunner's aim is always true.
The rest of him is, to Don's consternation, just as finely made.
