An Analysis of Gene Roe's dialogue in "Band of Brothers"

[kaasknot]

I re-watched “Bastogne” this weekend all fucking week because, well, originally I needed to get BoB back in my ear so I could write, but that turned into a burning need to copy out all of Gene’s dialogue so I could understand how he speaks. And what started out as an analysis of how he speaks turned into an overall character study. This post is mostly just about his speech patterns, but stay tuned--there may be another post in the future where I dissect out the emotional arc of the ep.

Tl;dr: Gene is shit at conversation. He’s not a chatty guy, and as soon as he steps outside his comfort zone he turns into an awkward dork really quick.
