"The Iraqi POW story`s evaporating." "Still have my gold story, though." "Returning the gold to lKuwait." "What do you know about that?" "They think it`s in a bunker somewhere." "What`s going on?" "l was about to ask you the same." "You said he was former Delta, he`d take care of me." "What a bunch of bullshit!" "Let me handle this!" "Doesn`t she have an escort?" "She`s right here." "Find her someone to fuck..." "...so she`ll leave my escort alone." "That`s unnecessary." "I don`t want him going to other reporters and giving away my stories." "You don`t have any stories." "You don`t tell people that!" "Look at what`s become of you!" "Yes, look at me." "l`ve got my clothes on!" "l`m dressed!" "I will say you`re old, Adriana." "I really don`t need this shit, major."

"Pull it out, private." "Pull it out." "Man, I didn`t join the Army to pull paper out of people`s asses." "No, sir." "Not what I signed up for." "Open it up." "You only gave me one glove." "I only have one, but you have to open it." "That`s how the chain of command works." "What is it?" "lt`s important enough to squeeze your cheeks for." "You`re supposed to make her feel good about the stories we want." "You don`t walk away from her and go screw another journalist!" "I never wanted this job, Ron." "Your work in Iraq was over."

"These have to be Saddam`s bunkers between lKarbala and Nazaria." "What`s inside?" "According to Intel, Picasso, Sony, Armani, Rolex.... lKuwait was the Arab Beverly Hills, and Saddam jacked them for it." "l`d like to bring something home besides sand fleas." "One Rolex would get me a very nice house outside of Garland." "Five would get a Lexus convertible." "Lexus doesn`t make one." "Yes, they do." "It has room for a kid seat." "Infiniti has a convertible, not Lexus." "Wrong." "The good Lord put this map in our path, and I believe we`ll find something." "He could also put a land mine in our path." "I don`t think so. l`ve been fire baptized, and this feels safe." "What are you talking about?" "I have a ring of Jesus fire to guide my decisions." "You`re putting me on, right?" "Do I look like l`m putting you on?" "Okay, ring of Jesus fire." "Halt!" "Freeze, motherfucker!" "Sir, this tent is restricted." "Get out of my way." "Mayday!" "Mayday!" "Goddamn it!"

"Did you present this map to your captain?" "Not yet, sir." "l`ll take it to him." "That`s not necessary, sir." "I can take it to him." "Don`t get grabby, sergeant." "He`s our C.O. l`d have to tell him you took it." "That won`t do either of us any good, will it?" "No, sir." "Sit down." "What do you see here?" "Bunkers, sir." "What`s in them?" "Stuff they stole from lKuwait." "Bullshit. l`m talking about millions in lKuwaiti bullions." "The little cubes you put in hot water and make soup?" "No, not the little cubes you put in hot water to make soup." "Gold bricks." "Saddam stole it from the sheiks. I have no problem stealing it from Saddam." "My guess is, he`s divided these bricks into several different stashes." "Just one stash would be easy for us to take from his deserting army." "That`d be enough to get us out of our day jobs." "Unless you reservists are in love with your day jobs." "I don`t really have a day job, sir." "First thing we have to do is make sure this is more than a love letter to an Iraqi." "lt`s a series of bunkers outside lKarbala, sir." "Maybe." "Definitely, sir." "The recon photos match." "We`ll see." "Dag!" "lt`s what makes SF so badass." "We got the best flashlights."

"Will we need a deuce-and-a-half?" "lt`s easier in a Humvee." "What if we have a lot to carry?" "We`ll grab an Iraqi truck." "lt`s better cover." "We could say we captured it." "That`s right." "We leave at dawn, back before lunch." "No big deal." "What`s the guy`s name outside?" "Walter, sir." "Bolo!" "Get in here!" "Who`s Bolo?" "A guy who doesn`t know what he`s doing." "Yes, sir." "Get this reporter off my back." "You know who Adriana Cruz is?" "Reporter on NBS, sir." "That`s right." "Tell her l`m checking a story, and you`re bringing her to meet me." "ln Iraq?" "No." "l`ll give you a fake copy of this map." "Take her on a ride that lasts all morning and goes nowhere near the villages outside lKarbala." "When you don`t find me, it`ll be because you got lost. ls that clear?" "Any other questions?" "is it true that to be SF, you got to cut off an enemy`s ear?" "Are you able to control him?" "Yes, sir." "He`ll be fine." "Let`s get ready to roll in the morning." "All right, here we go, ma`am!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Let me get some, Chief!" "I gave you a better arc!" "What do you mean?"

"You`ll never hit no Iraqi!" "l`ll hit an Iraqi." "l`ll blow his head off!" "If he talks like that, ignore him, or it`ll get worse." "You`re right." "Just can`t help myself sometimes." "Watch this!" "What was that?" "A rigged football C-4, sir." "Why`d you do that?" "You said we could fire some rounds when we left camp." "I said you could fire a few rounds." "We didn`t get to see any action." "You want to see some action?" "Yeah, I do, sir." "is this what you`re after?" "We dropped a lot of bombs out here." "We also buried a lot of guys alive." "The only action we seen was on CNN, except for that dude Troy shot." "Shot him in the neck?" "That`s right, sir." "Fucking badass. I was there." "Took him out at 400 yards." "Head popped up in the air." "Crazy shot, man!" "You know anything about gunshot wounds?" "l don`t know." "Specifically." "The worst thing about a gunshot, provided you survive the bullet is sepsis." "lnfection of the blood." "Say a bullet tears into you" "Creates a cavity of dead tissue." "That cavity it fills up with bile and bacteria." "You`re fucked." "But we`re going to do this without firing any shots and just to be sure, we`ll do a dry run." "So get your suits on." "Now, we will say that the cow is a primary guard outside the bunker." "Pull up fast, stop short." "Move very aggressively." "Got it?" "Got it!" "Let`s go!" "Who`s hurt?" "lt`s all cow." "Yeah, it`s all cow." "Y`all see that cow`s head shoot up?" "Just like a cartoon."

"Round, round, get around I get around" "Yeah, get around I get around" "We go in fast, leave the safeties on." "Hit them with the blinding power of American sunshine." "Where`s the bunker?" "There." "No, there!" "Orders from the President of the United States of America!" "Orders from the President of the United States of America!" "Stay back!" "On the ground, right now!"

"Why`d they blow up that milk truck?" "Trying to starve the people out." "Why?" "Bush told the people to rise up against Saddam." "They thought they had our support." "Now they`re getting slaughtered." "So where`s the next bunker?" "About 20 clicks on the map, according to what that guy said." "No, it`s not." "There`s something about that well." "What well?" "The well in the center of town." "There were soldiers guarding it." "I bet there`s a bunker in there." "Guy lied to us." "lt`s back where we came from." "I don`t know if I can do this, okay?"

"Full." "Full." "l`m getting a fleet of Lexus convertibles." "I told you Lexus don`t make a convertible." "l`ll bet you a Lexus they do." "You`re on, but it won`t be a convertible. I guarantee you."
