    'Earn this', are the last words spoken by the main character in what movie?

    Captain Miller a/k/a Tom Hanks, Saving Private Ryan

    and I think the quote is, 'Earn this. Earn it.', meaning Ryan needs to honor the cost paid by the six men who died 'saving' him. I found the final scene, with the salute, particularly moving.

    Ih a way, you get the impression that Miller's final words have haunted Ryan all his life. In the end he asks his wife if he's a good man and if he lead a good life--as if he's desperately seeking verification that he has in fact earned the time on earth that was paid for by the lives of the men in Miller's patrol. It was a very touching ending--and one that I can imagine probably did take place in real life for some WWII veterans.
