"Those passengers going on...." "Hey." "Hey, kid!" " Are you Zack?" " Yes, Sir." "I'm Byron." "Nice to meet you." " Come on, let's get your bags, okay?" " Yes, Sir." "Take your jacket off, kid." "It's hot as hell here." "This is the PI, it's what we call the Philippine Islands." "Zack, I'm sorry about what happened to your mom." "It must have been pretty rough." "I would have called you a lot sooner, but I was out at sea." "But I've been calling you for four months." "That's what I'm trying to tell you." "I was out at sea for four months." "All right, kid." "These are your mama-sans, Tiki and Maria." "Hello, Byron." "I want you to meet somebody." "This is my son, Zack." "Tiki, say hello." "Zack" " Tiki and Maria." " Hi, Zack." " Hi, Zack." "I'm out at sea three weeks out of every month." "When I'm back in port," "I don't have time for this daddy stuff, 'cause that's not who I am." "That's okay, Sir." "Now wait a second, Kid, you don't understand." "I'm too old for this." "I don't care what the Navy says." "This is no place to bring up a kid." "Like I told you on the telephone, you're better off in that state school back in Virginia." "I'm never going back there, they treat me like shit!" "Well, maybe that's not for you to say!" "God dammit!" "Don't look at me that way!" "What happened to your mother had nothing to do with me." "It did!" "You said you were gonna come back!" "You promised!" "Is that what she said?" "That's a female lie." "That's bullshit!" "That's a lie!" "I found your letters and I read 'em after she did it!" "You said you were gonna come back for us." "You said you loved her, and she believed you!" "You're a liar!" "Hurry, grow up, boy." "I'll wait for you." "Cherry boy." "You want to go to school?" "I'll teach you nice." "Chicken feet, monkey meat." "Come on, you buy, you buy." "Monkey meat." "You buy, you buy." "Hey, sailor." "What ship are you from?" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Hey!" "Big spender, give us some money." " I don't have any money." " Bullshit!" "Get it out!" "No!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone." "Holy shit." "Watch it." "I got to heave." "Jesus Christ." "Give me a towel." "Pretty fuckin' wild." "Holy shit." "Not as wild as that night we banged those three stewardesses in Manila." "Bet you didn't get it on like that in that jerkwater college you graduated from." "How long you going to hang around Seattle?" "Get ready, Man." "This one is gonna blow you away." "Hey, man, nothing you do is ever going to surprise me." " Tell me." " I joined the Navy." " You joined the Navy?" " That's right, I joined the Navy." "I'm on my way over to this Port Rainier now, this officer's training school over there." " What for?" " Jets." "I want to fly jets." "You know, this place is only a coupla hours from here, maybe you wanna... come over visit me sometime, all right?" " Who put that idea in your head?" " Nobody." "Just come to me." "What's so funny?" "You, man." "It's like saying you're gonna run for fuckin' president." "Christ, look at yourself." "Officers don't have tattoos." " Look, I'll see you, man, all right?" " Hey." " Zack, come on, don't be pissed off." " I'm not pissed off." "Yeah, you are pissed off." "I'm on your side." "I don't want to see you do something you're gonna regret." "You gotta give up six fuckin' years of your life to the Navy if you want to fly." "That's six fucking years, with the most uptight assholes God ever put on this Earth." "Officers, Man, they're not like you and me." "They're...they're a different breed." "You know what this sound like?" "...sounds like you're afraid you might have to salute me someday, Chief." "Bullshit!" "Why the fuck would be afraid of something like that?" "I don't know." "You know, it kinda sounds that way." "You want some fatherly bullshit." "You want a pat on the back." "From you?" "No." "Huh!" "." "Thanks for my graduation present, Byron." "See you around." "Zack, don't go away mad." "Hey, Babe." "Zack!" "Come on." "Zack!" "Fall in!" "I said: fall in, you slimy worms!" "Put your toes on the edge of that chalk line!" "I said put your toes on the edge of this chalk line, you slimy worms!" "Atten-hun!" "I don't believe what I'm seeing." "Where you been all your lives, at an orgy?" "Listening to Mick Jagger music and bad-mouthing your country, I'll bet." "You better stop eyeballing me, Boy." "You're not worthy enough to look your superiors in the eye." "Use your peripheral vision." "Understand?" "Yes, Sir." "Every time I say "understand", I want the whole group to say, "Yes, Sir!"" " Understand?" " Yes, Sir!" " Understand?" " Yes, Sir!" "I know why most of you are here." "I'm not stupid." "Before you get to sell what we teach you over at United Airlines, you have to give the Navy six years of your life, Sweet Pea." "Lots of things can happen in six years." "Another war can come up in six years." "And if you're too peaceful a person to not napalm an enemy village, where there are women and children, I'm going to find that out." " Understand?" " Yes, Sir!" " Understand?" " Yes, Sir!" "Hi, Son." "How you doing, Sarge?" " What did you call me?" " Beg your pardon?" "What did you call me, Boy?" " I called you "Sarge"." " Before that!" "I didn't call you anything before that." "You said, "How are 'ewe'?" I am not a "ewe", Boy." "A "ewe" is a female sheep, Boy." " Is that what you think I am, Boy?" " No." " No, Sir!" " No, Sir." " Louder, Sweet Pea!" " No, Sir!" "Hey, you want to fuck me up the ass?" "That why you called me a "ewe", Boy?" " Are you a queer?" " Hell no, Sir!" " Where are you from, Boy?" " Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Sir." "Ah!" "Only two things come out of Oklahoma." "Steers and queers." "Which one are you, Boy?" "I don't see no horns." "So, you must be a queer." "No, Sir." "Stop whispering, Sweat Pea, you're giving me a hard-on." "No, Sir!" "You laughing at me, Dickbrain?" "No, Sir!" "You better stop eyeballing me, Boy, or I'll rip your eyeballs out and skullfuck you to death." "Yes, Sir!" "What's your name, Boy?" "Mayo." "Zack Mayo, Sir!" "How did you slip into this program?" "I didn't know the Navy was so hard up." "You got an injury there, Mayo?" "Not exactly, Sir." "Hey, this is really wonderful work." "Where did you get this, Mayo?" "Subic Base, Philippines, Sir." "Thought I recognized the work." "Be proud of them wings." "They're the only ones you're going to leave here with, Mayo-nnaise!" " What's your name, Boy?" " Emiliano Santos Della Serra, Sir." "You don't say?" "You a college boy, Della Serra?" "Yes, Sir!" "Math major, Sir." "Graduated from Texas tech with honors, Sir!" "I see." "You see this cane, Della Serra?" "See the notches near the handle?" "There's a notch for every college puke like you that I got to D.O.R." "That's Drop On Request from this program." "And the first one I'm going to call out of this class is you, Emiliano." "I expect to lose half of you before I'm finished." "I will use every means necessary, fair and unfair, to trip you up, to expose your weaknesses as a potential aviator and as a human being, understand?" "Yes, Sir!" "The price at the other end is a flight education worth one million dollars!" "But first, you got to get past me!" "Hey, Paula!" "It's five o'clock!" "Where's the goddamn whistle?" "Oh, shit!" "Come on, Paula." "Let's go!" "Turn that thing off!" "Next!" "Oh, shit." "What is that?" "This is my idea of an ass bandit." "Wait till the girls see you, Scrotumhead." "Scrotumhead!" "Think that's funny, don't you, boy?" "Not all the obstacles that can trip you up are on this base." "Let me tell you something about the local girls." "Ever since there's been a base here, there's been what you'd call the Puget Sound Debs." "The poor girls come across the sound on the ferry every weekend with just one thing in mind, and that's to marry themselves a naval aviator." "A Puget Deb will tell you," ""Oh, Baby, don't you worry about no contraceptives." ""I've got that all taken care of."" "Don't believe it, Sweet Pea." "A Puget Deb will do anything and say anything to trap you." "I know this sounds silly to you, especially in this so-called modern age, but you scuzzy college pukes had better watch out, because they're out there, and you, Sweet Peas, are the answer to their dream!" "All right!" "Get up!" "Hurry up!" "On the double now!" "You lard asses, I'm going to fix you!" "C'mon, get up in there!" "Quick!" "On the double, Mayonnaise!" "Come on, Seeger." "Little girl poopies to the left, little boy poopies to the right!" "Come on, let's go!" "What a motley bunch!" "Get in there!" "All right, quick!" "On the double!" "Okay, here we go." "Now, whata we got here?" "How's it going?" "You got to be kidding." "How do they expect me to get down there?" "Hey, look!" "One of you guys want to switch bunks?" " Those're assigned bunks, man." " Yeah, I don't think we can." "Hey, Daniels, you're in there." "Who the hell is that guy?" "That's your mom and dad for the next 13 weeks." "All right!" "Fall out!" "Get outside!" "On the double!" "Come on out here!" "Quick!" "Out the door!" "On the double!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "More!" "More!" "More!" "More!" "You get down, give me 50!" "You give me 50." "Count 'em!" "You think there's any truth to what he said about those girls, the Puget Debs?" " Sure it is, Sweet Pea." " Still?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Should have warned you scuzzy female types about the Puget Dudes." "Those the ones say they're wearing a rubber, but there's really a hole bitten in the bottom." "Very funny, Mayo..." "Seeger, Mayo, Worley!" "Got enough God damned energy to run them sewers, get over there and give me 50!" "On the double!" "Right now!" "All right, Poopie Asses, get your faces on down there!" "Pump 'em out!" "You women better not expect special privileges!" "You think flying a plane is just sitting on a chair pushing buttons?" "Looks like you need a little work in your upper-body strength, See-Garr!" "All right, all right, get up." "Get up!" "Step out!" "Get back in line!" "You watch!" "Go on!" "Pilots off the Lexington oughta be getting to the Officers Club now." "You sure got the timetable down, Lynette." "After three years, you learn all the tricks." "Did you see that bodacious set of tatas?" "Hi, Mrs. Rufferwell, I brought the records the social committee asked for." "I hope you didn't come all this way just to see me tonight." "You're pissing me off, Boys!" "38... 39..." "The Blue Angels'll be in next month." "If you need and introduction just let me know." " Bye for now." " Bye, bye." " Bye." "Far fucking out!" "I've been wantin' to meet one of those Blue Angels since I can remember!" " Aw!" "Look at the Poopies." "Those poor guys." " Aw." "See you in a month when you get liberty!" "Don't worry, it grows out about an inch by then!" "Ain't gonna be no liberty for you, Boys." "You'll be going home before then." "Start from one again!" "1... 2... 3..." "Flyin' low and feelin' mean!" "Flyin' low and feelin' mean!" "Spot a family by the stream!" "Spot a family by the stream!" "Pickle a pair and hear 'em scream!" "Pickle a pair and hear 'em scream!" "'cause napalm sticks to kids!" "'cause napalm sticks to kids!" " That's disgusting!" " What are you doing here, Seeger?" "Whatsa matter, Worley, am I threatening you?" "Hey, Baby, they send you to war, you get your ass shot down." "Wouldn't mind being the first woman to fly fighters in combat." " Great!" "Go in my place." " You goin' for Jets?" "Uh-huh!" "All the way." " How about you, Mayo?" " Jets." "I hate to tell you... they only let two out of each class go to jets." "Which one of you's going with me?" " Me!" " Me!" "Talking in the ranks again." "You three just added 2 miles to this little hike...for everybody." "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Family of gooks are sittin' in a ditch!" "Family of gooks are sittin' in a ditch!" "Little baby suckin' on his mama's tit!" "Little baby suckin' on his mama's tit!" "Chemical firms don't give a shit!" "Chemical firms don't give a shit!" "'cause napalm sticks to kids!" "'cause napalm sticks to kids!" "Get up here!" "Get up here!" "Get up those stairs!" "Now!" "Get over there!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Move, move, move!" "Get up those stairs!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Move it up here!" "Get up here!" "Come on, let's go!" "Come on, let's go!" "Go, go, go!" "Come on ladies!" "Get up here!" "Faster, faster!" "Move!" "Move!" "Get up here!" "Move!" "Move it, Candy Pants!" "Double it up!" "Double it up!" "Move on!" "All right, everybody, up!" "Up on your feet!" "I don't want to see nothing coming out your mouths either!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Let's get in shape around here!" "Stand straight up!" "All right, get out of the way!" "Lift your head and hold it high!" "Lift your head and hold it high!" "The best in the regiment is runnin' on by!" "The best in the regiment is runnin' on by!" "That could be you at the end of 13 weeks...those who might survive!" "Don't even look at 'em!" "You don't deserve to look at 'em!" "Della Serra, turn you back!" "You are without a doubt the most pathetic class I've ever been assigned to!" "You big chump." "Four weeks, and you still can't shine a damn buckle." "Louis, shoot me a Kotex, Buddy." "Be careful where you stick that." " Five minutes to inspection, Mayo." " Where's your money?" "Boonies." "You better hope Foley never finds out about that, Mayo." "Hey, Perryman." "Look what I got here, Man." "Look at that." "Look at that." "Look at them buckles, Man." "Look good, huh?" "10 bucks. 15 for the boonies." "Who the hell's got 10 bucks?" "Hey, Man!" "I spend every penny they pay me around here to keep my old lady and my kid in that motel." "Hey, you're breaking my heart, Perryman." "Who you got doing this stuff for you?" "Some enlisted guy, right?" " Hey, tell me something." " Watch the sheets, Man." "Look, Man, is that piss-ass piece of change you're making from that stuff worth all of us getting kicked out of here on an honors violation?" "I don't see anybody else complaining about it, Perryman." "Excuse me." "Ready?" "Go!" "Look out, Worley, coming through." " The hell you say, Son." " Here I come." "Out of my way, Mayo, I'm gonna put my name on that wall." "Underneath mine." "Fuck!" "Give me the rope!" "Give me the rope!" "Shit!" "God damn, Mayonnaise!" "2:25." "Not bad... for a beginner." "Piece of cake." "Let's go now!" "Come on, Snyder!" "Come on, Snyder!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Kick ass!" "Let's go!" "You guys are bringing up the rear!" "You ain't getting out of here till you get over that wall, See-gar!" " I'll make it, Sir!" " Hurry up!" "Come on." "Get over there!" "You really want to be a man, See-gar?" "You another one of those little girls didn't get enough of daddy's attention 'cause he really wanted a son, See-gar?" "Ah, that's it, that's it!" "That's what'll beat you every time, See-gar... your mental attitude of a person of the female persuasion." "Deep down under all that bullshit, you're still thinking like a second-class citizen, aren't you, See-gar?" "You can never give orders to men!" "Ah!" "Walk around." "Walk around, Sugar Britches." "Bernoulli's equation gives us the total amount of energy contained in the air flow." ""P" is static pressure in pounds per square foot." ""RHO" is air density in slugs per cubic foot, and velocity is in feet per second." "2,000 pounds per square foot..." "Let's see 'em." "What about the buckles?" "Okay." "All right. 20 bucks, right?" "Hey, Bud." "Beat it." "What are you laughing about?" " I thought that's how you did it." " Did what?" "Did what!" "?" "!" "Come on, Santy Claus!" "You're not gonna tell anybody about this, are you?" "Not if you make it worth my while." "Free boonies for the duration." "That's fair." "Tell you what, tell you what I'm gonna do...you get me through aerodynamics, you can write your own ticket, My Friend." "You got a deal." "George Jones, where are you when we need you most?" "Hey, two o'clock!" "Moving in." "Della Serra." "Radar's up." "Scoping the target area." "Oh-oh!" "Zero in!" "Slick it back!" "Who'll be the lucky Deb?" "Is it the blonde?" "Is it the brunette?" "Score!" "He got her." "My God, check Perryman, check Perryman!" "Five years of marriage, still in love." "That's what life's all about." "Hey, See-gar!" "Remember that bodacious set of tatas and her pal?" " Right!" " There they are, Bud." "Think we ought to do something about it." "Captain Graves, it's so nice to meet you." "You know, the boys speak so highly of you, and uh..." "Lynette, he has several people to meet." " I'm so sorry." " Captain Rufferwell." "Mrs. Rufferwell!" "Hello, Captain." "How are you?" "Nice to meet you." "Could you introduce us to these two young ladies, please?" "Paula, Lynette." "Miss Paula Pokrifki," "Miss Lynette Pomeroy, may I present Officer Candidate Sid Worley and Officer Candidate Zachary Mayo." "Well, I hope you have a good time." "You know, we already met." "We did?" "Uh-huh!" "You said it would grow an inch by now." " That was you guys?" " Yeah." "Would you like to dance?" "Sure." "It's grown out more than an inch, Pal." "Would you like to get a drink?" "Sure." "Let's go." "So, what kind of a name is Pokrifki?" "Polish." "What kind of a name is Mayo?" "Italian." "My mom was Irish." "No, thank you." "I think I got her ears." " Yeah." "Yeah." "The rest is all wop." "Where are you from, Mayo the Wop?" "Everywhere, nowhere..." "Paula the Polack." "Seriously." "Seriously." "Seriously..." "My father's a rear admiral, seventh fleet." "You're kidding." "No, no, we lived in ports all over the world..." " Kathmandu..." "Moscow, Nairobi." " Really?" "I've never been out of Washington." "Wait a minute." "You're kidding me, right?" "We don't have any naval bases in Moscow." " No." " No." "I didn't think so." "So... you got a girl, Mayo the Wop?" "No." "I ain't looking for one, either." "What are you looking for?" "I heard about these girls who come here looking for a husband." " Not me." " Yeah?" "Why are you here?" "To meet interesting people, improve myself." "What do you do, go to school?" "No, I got a job." "I work over at National Paper." "It's a real good job." "I'm going to save enough money...travel." "Think I'd like to go to Moscow." "You been through the Dilbert Dunker yet?" "No, but my father and my brother both made it through." "So, I guess I can, too." "Oh!" "Is your brother a flier?" "He was." "He got killed." " Vietnam?" " Yeah." "My brother died over there, too." "He wasn't a flier though." "I was only 12 when it happened." "I really don't remember that much about him." "I sure remember Tommy." "Mind if we talk about something else?" "We don't have to talk about anything at all." "Do you think you'll make it all the way to getting your wings?" "Who knows?" "Guys a lot smarter than me been dropping out like flies." "Oh, you know, you got to say you're going to do it." "Ya gotta program yourself." "It'll happen." "You've just got to see yourself making it." "I know 'cause I read this article in Cosmo, it was about that very thing." "I swear." "Paula... you are a very, very pretty girl." "Do you want to go somewhere else?" "Come on." "Fall out, Worley." "Something tells me you girls have been here before." "Whatever gave you that idea?" "Oh!" "Stop it!" "You're going to ruin it." "I'm sorry." "I'll do it." "You sure this is okay?" "Don't worry." "I'll respect you in the morning." "You're crazy, Girl." "You'll respect me!" "Couldn't wait to get out of there." " Didn't you like the band?" " Not much." "You didn't like Tie a Yellow Ribbon?" "I thought their rendition was one of..." "Let's go down to the beach." "That sounds good." "Squad, halt!" "Fall out!" "Look at Foley." "Do you believe it?" "Showboat." "All right." "Listen up." "I'm the base martial arts instructor." "Those of you in 1-5 must desist thinking of me as the drill instructor for the next 60 minutes." "Just think of me...as the enemy." "Do you believe this guy?" "Now, a volunteer, please!" "Daniels." "How about you?" "I see you hidin' back there, get up here, quick!" "Put him in the hospital, Kid!" "He can't touch me, it's against the law." " Kick his ass." " Come on, Topper!" "Come on up here, Son." "Hang tough, Buddy!" "Hello, Pussy." "How bad d'you want to survive?" "Sir, this officer candidate doesn't understand the drill instructor's question, Sir." "Ah...well, let's see if I can clarify it a little bit." "You want to survive bad enough to stop me, Pussy?" "Or are you relying on my generosity, my love of humanity, to stop me from killing you?" "I... breathe." "Break loose." "Break loose!" "I... can't... breathe." "Get away!" "You're not hurt, I coulda killed you if I wanted to." "Move off." "Get out of here!" "Hurry up!" "Get back to your seat!" "You think I was really harsh on your classmate, don't you?" "Just wait 'til you get shot down behind enemy lines somewhere, and the only thing between you and a POW Camp is what you learn from me." "Now that I got your attention, we shall proceed with the class." "God, I hope she shows." "She's going to show." "She will show." "A rich, socialite Okie like you ought to be a big catch around here." "Hey, I ain't rich." " You're an officer's kid." " So what?" "Man, I spent six years living right on top of the raunchiest whorehouse in the PI." "Oy!" "Oy!" "Paquero!" "You want numbah one fucky-fucky?" "Long time, short time." "$10!" "Cheap-cheap!" "10 bucks?" "10 dollah. 10 dollah!" "Lynette, Honey, how's it hanging?" "Don't drool on her, Boy." " Hey, Ladies." " Hi." "Pansy-ass flyboys." "I remember you." "Mayo the wop." "Yep, that's me." "It's good to see you." "I was looking forward to it." " Me, too." " Really?" "Yeah." "Uh...excuse me." "You guys want to just hang out here, or can I suggest an alternate plan?" "Like pick up a bottle and go to the motel?" "Just like that, yeah." "What do you think?" "I'll vote for a motel." "My kind of group." "Troy, here they come." "Well!" "Make way for the Warmongers." "What did you call us?" "I called you a Warmonger." "Ain't that what you are?" "Yeah, right." "I just want to ask you something." "Yeah, what do you want?" "You come up here for a couple of months, you rich college boys." "You're strutting' around in your ice cream outfits like you own the goddamned place." "What are you lookin' at, Duck Butt?" " Hey, who do you think you are?" " Man, I don't want to fight you." "I do not want to fight." "Why don't you just go back inside and cool down." "I ain't finished talking, Sailor Boy!" "Get him, Troy." "Oh, God." "Back off, Man." "That's enough, Man." "Holy shit!" "Check his nose!" "He broke his nose, Man." " You asshole!" " Faggot!" "Come on, come on!" "God!" "I never seen anything like that in my whole life." "Did you see that guy's nose?" "Lynette, will you just shut up until we get to the motel?" "Can you do me that, please?" "Well, excuse me for livin'." "Asshole!" "I shouldna done it, I shoulda walked away from him." "Zack, he didn't give you a choice." "I had a choice, everybody's got a choice." "Where d'you learn how to fight like that anyways?" "I don't want to talk about it now, all right?" "All right." "You know, Zack, it wouldn't kill you to open up to me a little bit." "What do you want?" "You want to fuck?" "Is that what you want?" "You wanna fuck?" "You know what?" "Come here!" "Get on the bed." "Take your clothes off." "I'll give you a good fuck." "Where's that coming from?" " Get on the bed." " I wouldn't fuck you now if my life depended on..." "Then get the hell outta here, 'cause I don't need this shit!" "I don't know who you think you're talking to." "You know I'm not some whore you brought in here." "I'm tryin' to be nice to you." "I'm trying to be your friend, Zack." "Then be a friend." "Get out of here." "Fine." "Fine." "You know, Man, you ain't nothing special." "You got no manners." "You treat women like whores." "And if you ask me, you got no chance of being no officer." "It's okay." "It's all right." "I'm sorry." " Are you hungry?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I'm starved." " Skivvies?" " Pretty sexy, huh?" " Sporty." " Control yourself, Baby." "Good!" "Look, Paula..." "I try real hard not to fool anybody about who I am, what I want." "I know who you are and what you want." "And what do you want?" "I want to have a good time until you have to leave." " That's it?" " Uh-huh." "Hey!" " Last night was incredible." " I thought so, too." " Zack, am I your fantasy?" " What?" "I'm not getting serious on you." "I dare you not to fall in love with me." "I mean, how can you resist?" "I'm like candy." "You are better than candy." "It's going to be very hard to get enough, very hard." "Very hard!" "You're getting feisty on me, you little Polack." "You cocky Polack!" "So, Zack, what do you do with a girl when you're through with her, huh?" "You say something or just disappear?" "Huh?" "I never had a girl." "And I forgot to thank you for breakfast." "Any time, Sailor." "Heads up, Perryman." "When you hit the water, you might get the wind knocked out of you." "Don't panic." "You've got a second and a half before the cage is completely underwater and it flips upside down." "Go, Joe!" "Now, the most important thing is to watch your bubbles." "When that cage flips upside down, you're gonna be disoriented." "You're not gonna know what your bearings are, like Perryman down there." " The bubbles will determine which way is up." " Holy shit!" "All right, time's up." "Go down for him, Jason." "This is what happens if you panic." "You can die down there, Children, and this is only a swimming' pool." "Out there in the Pacific, you won't have a frogman to save your ass." "Totally unsatisfactory, Perryman." "Gotta get in the back of the line." "Do it again." "You only got two more chances to make it, or you're out." "All right." "Next!" "Hold it." "Change in order." "Mayo... since you're hotshot of the week, you're next." "Aye, aye, Sir." " Seeger, you're behind him." " Yes, Sir." "You ought to be good at this, Mayo." "Something you can do alone." "Take him up, Joe!" "You never know in this program what's gonna trip ya up, huh, Mayo?" "It could be the grades or some little flaw in your character that comes out under stress." "Let's go, Joe!" "All right!" "Way to go!" "Okay, Seeger." "You're next." "All right, Seeger, let's go, let's go!" "C'mon!" "Get a move on!" "Okay, Joe, take her up!" "Don't you cry now, Sugar Britches!" "Go, Joe!" "All right, Seeger!" "All right." "Oh, gosh, that was great!" "Ya think they'd let us do it again?" "Not bad, Seeger." "But you still got to get over that wall." "Next!" "C'mon, c'mon, Daniels, let's move it!" "Take it easy now, it's just a joy ride." "Does this thing hit with the same impact as a plane?" "This in nothin' compared to a plane." "Okay." "Don't forget to watch the bubbles." "All right, Joe, take him up!" "All right, Daniels, let's us have the thumbs-up up there!" "C'mon, Daniels, c'mon, where's the thumbs up at?" "All right." "Go, Joe!" "Take it easy." "Pull it back up!" "Can't get it right now!" "It's gonna take a coupla seconds to hook it back up." "All right, let me through!" "Grab him!" "All right." "Pull him out!" "Hold him!" "Put him on his stomach!" "Take his helmet off!" "Quick!" " God damn!" " Get it off." "Christ!" "All right. get me a corpsman." "Savage!" "Get me a corpsman!" "On the double!" "Yes, Sir!" "Okay, everybody just stand back." "Come on, Topper." " God!" " Come on." "C'mon, Buddy, c'mon." "C'mon, Man." "C'mon, Topper." "C'mon." "Breathe in, breathe in." "Hey!" "All right." "All right!" "All right." "That corpsman on the way?" "Stand back." "Let him get by." "Give him some breathing' room." "Get it back." "Somebody go check on that corpsman." "He's gonna be all right." "Take it easy." "Prepare for inspection!" "Shit." "I am not going to make it." "Help me out, Sid." " Got a spare, Man?" " My spare sucks." "You know where the hardware store is." "Zack, I need a buckle, Man." "I can't risk it." "You got plenty'a time." "Man, he's still out with the girls." "Can't do it." "Hey, Zack, I got to see my family, Man." "I couldn't take it if they didn't let me outta here this weekend." "Wouldn't want you to get an honor violation, Perryman." "Okay." "Okay." "Attention on deck!" "In every class, there's always one joker who thinks he's smarter than me." "In this class, that happens to be you... isn't it, Mayonnaise?" "Perryman, Worley..." "let us have this room." "On the double!" " Couldn't happen to a nicer guy." " Stow it." "Mayo..." "I want your D.O.R." "No, Sir." "You can kick me outta here but I ain't quitting'." "Get into your fatigues, Mayo." "By the end of this weekend, you'll quit." "Casey Jones was a son of a bitch!" "Casey Jones was a son of a bitch!" "Drove his train in a 30-foot ditch!" "Drove his train in a 30-foot ditch!" "Came on out with his dick in his hand." "Came on out with his dick in his hand." "Said, "Listen, ladies, I'm a hell of a man."" "Said, "Listen, ladies, I'm a hell of a man."" "Went to his room and lined up a hundred." "Went to his room and lined up a hundred." "Swore up and down he'd fuck every one." "Swore up and down he'd fuck every one." "Fucked 98 'til his balls turned blue." "Fucked 98 'til his balls turned blue." "Then he backed off, jacked off, and fucked the other two!" "...he backed off, jacked off, and fucked the other two!" "Wave goodbye to your buddies, Mayo." "Oh, I forgot, you don't have any buddies." "Only customers." "You having fun, Mayonnaise?" "Yes, Sir!" " Don't hear you!" " Yes, Sir!" "All right!" "98... 99..." "Now, get your face all the way down in there!" "100." " You ready to quit now, Mayo?" " No, Sir!" "Look over there, Mayo." "Look over there." "Look at her." "She decided to stay instead of taking liberty on this weekend." "She may not make it through the program, but she's got more heart and more character than you'll ever have!" "And stop eyeballing me, boy!" "Life sure has dealt you some shitty cards, hasn't it, Mayo?" "I'm doing all right, Sir!" "6..." "Bullshit." "I done some checking." "I looked through your files." "I know about your mama." "Don't you eyeball me." "I know your father's a alcoholic and a ho chaser." "That's why you don't mesh, Mayo." "Because deep down..." "And don't you eyeball me, Boy!" "Deep down inside... you know all these other boys and girls are better than you!" "Isn't that right, Mayo?" "Huh?" "Isn't that right?" "No, Sir!" "No, Sir!" "What's the matter, Mayo, you gettin' tired?" "I'm not tired!" "Move it, boy!" "This is where the fun starts!" "Move it!" "You got all day tomorrow to look forward to!" "Get on!" "6 inches off the ground." "Give me 6 to 90." "Hey, Mayo, why don't we quit this little charade of yours over a couple of beers over at TJ's?" "C'mon, Man, you're about as close to being officer material as me." "Sir, this candidate believes he would make a good officer!" "No way, Mayo." "No way, you only give a shit about yourself." "And everyone of your classmates knows it." "Do you think they'd trust you behind the controls of a plane that they'd have to fly in?" "C'mon, Man!" "I take you as a kinda guy that'd zip-off one day in my F-14 and sell it to the Cubans, right?" "No, Sir!" "No, Sir!" "I love my country." "Sell it to the Air Force, Mayo." "Sell it to the Air Force." "Talk to me!" "Now, why would a slick hustler like you wanna sign up for this kind of abuse, anyway?" "I want to fly jets, Sir." "My grandmama wants to fly jets." "I wanted it since I was a kid!" "We're not talking about flying here, we're talking about character." "I've changed." "I've changed since I've been here." " The hell you have." " I've changed, Sir!" "Nah!" "You've just polished-up your act a little bit." "You've just shined it up!" "Now, tell me what I want to hear." "I want your D.O.R." "No, Sir!" " I want your D.O.R!" " I ain't going to quit." " Spell it!" "D-O-R." " I ain't gonna quit!" "Yeah, then you can be free and you and your daddy can get drunk and go whore-chasing together, huh?" " No, Sir!" " D.O.R.!" " I ain't going to quit!" "All right then, You can forget it." "You're out!" "Don't you do it!" "Don't... you..." "I got nowhere else to go!" "I got nowhere else to g..." "I ain't got nothing else." "I got nothing else." "All right, Mayo." "On your feet." "Come on, Mayo, let's get back to the barracks." "Hey, Foley!" "Zack, don't give up!" "You got that queer on the run!" "Kiss this, Foley!" "Hang in there, Zack!" "Remember the Tides Inn." "Those friends of yours there?" " Don't give up the ship, Mayo!" " Yes, Sir." "We're with you, Zack!" "Don't quit, Zack, you can make it!" "All right, Mayo, you got some urinals to clean." "Move out." "Hey, Foley's a queer!" "He got his balls shot off in the war!" "So you're still here, huh, Mayo?" " Sid." " Yeah?" "Thanks." "Sid." "Take a look at that." "That son of a bitch." "Want me to get a towel?" "I can get you one." "I don't want you to move." "Somebody's got to move sometime...eventually." ""They found them there weeks later," ""shriveled from lack of food and water."" "Bye, Zachary." "I laughed all week, thinking about you guys on that boat." "We were so drunk." "Pretty sharp, Paula." "Pretty sharp." "I'd love to be one of those girls they're lettin' in the flight program." "I think it'd be a gas to fly." "So, what's stopping you?" "You know all those magazines what they say, it's just..." "I don't know." "It's not so easy for a girl." "That's still no excuse for you not goin' out'n getting' what you want." "Just go get it." "And who says I'm not going after what I want?" "Not me." "My mama's 39 years old." "She still works over at that factory." "And every time I look at her I know exactly what I don't want." "My old lady... took a bottle of pills one day when I was at school." "Oh, God." "The thing that got me about it..." "She didn't leave a note, she didn't..." "Nothin'...she just checked out." "I always hated her for that." "Oh, God." "That must really hurt." "Hurt?" "No." "No." "You're all alone in the world." "Once you got that down, nothing hurts anymore." "I bet most people would buy that line when you feed it to 'em, huh?" "Hey, are you really serious about having him over?" "I don't know, I haven't made up my mind yet." "Paula... just how far would you go to get Zack?" " What do you mean?" " You know what I mean." "Would you let yourself get pregnant?" "No way, Lynette." "C'mon, would you?" "Well..." "I never used to think I'd do something like that." "But I just don't know anymore." "If you ask me, nine weeks just ain't long enough to get a guy to fall in love with ya." "Yeah, but that doesn't justify trying' to trap him... or getting pregnant." "I mean I can't even believe you'd had that thought." "It's real backward." "Well, it ain't any more backward if you ask me than the way these hotshot assholes just use us 'til they've had enough, and then ditch us like we's trash." "Don't you ever feel used, Paula?" "Don't you ever feel like this is all I get for all my trouble and this son of bitch ought to be payin' for it?" "No." "I never feel like that." "Well, I do." "Thanks again for the flowers, Zack." "Oh, it was my pleasure, Ma'am" "Those are the most beautiful things I've ever saw." "Wipe that stuff off your mouth." "Zack?" "This is great." "Sir?" "How many more weeks 'til graduation?" "Oh, I have three more." "Three more weeks." "And those are the roughest ones of all, aren't they?" "Yeah, that's what they tell me." "Sir, excuse me, why do you keep staring at my food?" "Or are you staring at me?" "I'm not staring at you." "He doesn't mean anything by it, Zack." "Do you, Joe?" "No, I don't mean anything by it." " Like some more chicken, Zack?" " No." "No, thanks." "In fact, I've had it." "I can't eat another bite, this is great." "I'm stuffed, too." "This is the best meal I've had in a long, long time, Ma'am, thank you." "Why don't we go, Zack." "Thank you, Mama." " Thank you, Zack." " Thanks again, Ma'am." "Go on and eat." "Mama, Mama!" "I'm sorry." "I'm so embarrassed, Zack." "I know I shouldn't'a brought ya here." "That's Okay." "A great free meal." "A nice, relaxing dinner." "Those people are so uptight, I felt so sorry for ya." "Don't feel sorry for me, I'm used to it." "It's hereditary." "So, anyway, after this, you go to basic flight which is in Pensacola, right?" "Yeah, Pensacola." "And, uh...then we go to Beeville, Texas, when I get jets." "So, after that..." "don't you think about..." "I mean, come on..." "What's after that?" "Family, kids..." "Don't you think about all that?" "No." " Is that what you think about?" " Sometimes." "If I could do a better job than them, I'd love it." "And what would you do different?" "Everything." "First, I'd marry a man I really loved." "So why did your mom marry this guy if she didn't love him?" "'cause my real father wouldn't marry her." " Your real father?" " My real father." "I want to show you my real father." "Pop." "So, your real father was an Officers Candidate, like me?" " Yeah, about 22 years ago." " Jesus." "No wonder this guy was looking at me funny." "He always looks funny." "Well, it's about time I got back to the wars." "Yeah, I know, I know, I know." "You thank your mom for dinner again, okay?" " Yeah, great chicken, huh?" " Yeah, I loved the chicken." "If you get a chance this week, why don't ya give me a call?" "Yeah, I'll try." "I have survival training this week, so I can't make any promises." "No promises." "Zack you know, I didn't have to show you that picture if I didn't want to." " I just wanted to tell you that." " Yeah, I know." "Bye, Baby." " Be careful on that." " Yeah." "You and Paula still seeing those flight candidates over to the base?" "Why?" "Any reason to think we wouldn't be?" "I don't know, 3:40 in the afternoon and not a word outta you 'bout where ya goin', whatchya doin' over the weekend." "Hi." "I..." "I..." "I'd like to speak with Zack Mayo." "He's an AOC candidate." "Could you look for him?" "Tell him it's Paula." "Liberty time, Boys and Girls." "Fall out!" "Aye, aye, Sir!" " Where you going?" "Where's my bread?" " Forget that thing." "Come on, Perryman." "Come on." " Seeger, don't forget TJ's." " I won't." "Hey, Mayo!" "You got a phone call." "Somebody named Paula." "Tell her I already split." "C'mon, c'mon, let's go!" "I see." "Okay." "Comes a time, right after they get their survival training, when they start thinking they can make it without you." "Suddenly, they stop calling." "Suddenly, they own the goddamn world." "They said that he already left." "I don't think he did." "He hasn't called by now, Paula, he ain't gonna call." "Bunny, just shut up!" "You don't know so much." "Clock me out, Lynette." "Paula, what are you doing?" "May they all crash and burn." " Paula, wait!" "Where are you going?" " Let me go, Mama." "You're are going to the base to look for Zack." "Don't do it, Paula!" "I have to, I love him." "I can't just let him run off." "Well, how you gonna you stop him if he don't wanna be stopped?" "I don't know, but I'm gonna think of a way." " No!" " No?" "Honey, please!" "I can't let you do this." "I just can't." "Don't go, Baby." "Please, don't go." "What are you crying about?" " Huh?" " 'cause I know what you're feeling!" " Oh, what am I feeling?" " Don't do it, Paula." "Let him go!" "Don't trick him or try trap him." " I wouldn't do anything like that." " Yes, you would." " No!" "I would never try to trap him." "If you go there tonight and you find him, you'll say anything, Baby." "You will." "And God help you after that." "Mama, you're right." "Daddy!" "Zack's only 2/10 of a second off the all-time obstacle course records." "He's gonna break it before he leaves." "You boys are lucky you weren't in the program when I was." "You couldn't quit the way you can now." "When I went through it..." "my oldest boy went through it, you bilged out, you were put into the fleet as a swabby." "That's real interesting, Sir." "Sid, how come you haven't written Susan in over three weeks?" "Oh, we haven't...we haven't had time to write anybody." "I've haven't even written Y'all but once." "It's incredible." " Right?" " Oh, yeah." " Who is this Susan, anyway?" " My girl back home." "I'm marrying her as soon I get out of here." "She was Tommy's girl." "They were supposed to get married before he got killed." "I don't know why I never told ya about her, I guess I didn't want you to think I was a shit for fucking Lynette." "Man, I ain't your parents, ya know?" "Do you love this girl?" "Ah, Man!" "The greatest chick you ever wanna know." "She loves kids." "Works with handicapped kids down at the church every afternoon." "Man, that ain't what I'm talking about." "I asked you if you loved her." "Everybody loves her." "Listen, I'm not gonna make that little reunion tonight." "Why not?" "I'm meeting Lynette at the Tides." "Best head in 52 states, Man." "What can I do?" "No, no, no." "You should've done what I did, Man..." "just break it off clean, have it done with, over." "It's the best." "She was pretty torn up you didn't call her." "But, I'm not supposed to tell you that." "Women." "Women, women, women." "They say, "Yeah, good time." "A lot of laughs, no problem."" "Doesn't work that way, does it?" "Look out, TJ's!" "Here I come." " See you later, Man." " 'kay." "I don't know, I don't know what you're smiling about, Perryman." "You're lucky you got here." " What are you talking about?" " I still taste that bug." "A toast." "We made it." "To survival." " To survival." " To survival." "In spite of Perryman." "In spite of Foley." "Hey!" "Is that your Deb over there, Baby?" "I think she's pulling rank on you, Man..." "that's a flight instructor she's with." "Back in a minute." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I thought it was time for me to see Legendary TJ's once before I left here." "You come here a lot?" "I come here once in a while." "I'm sorry I didn't call ya this weekend." "This week has been unbelievable." "It's okay." "How did the survival training go?" " I survived." " You survived." "Obviously." "How was your week?" "It was good." "I'm gonna get a raise beginning of next month, yeah." "That's great." "You guys are graduating in a couple weeks?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm starting to believe I'm actually gonna make it." "You'll make it." "Remember, I told you, you saw it, and it happened." "Yeah, you told me." "I got to go, 'cause I have a date." "And..so...uh..." "Look, there's something I wanted..." "What?" "I..." "I wanted to thank you." "I don't think I wouldn't have made it through this crazy thing, if I didn't have something to look forward to." "Don't thank me for nothin', I had a good time." "And good luck in Pensacola with your flight training, and..." "Get jets, huh?" "I'll see you, Zack." "Give me another one." "In fact, leave the bottle, give me the bottle." "Come 'ere, Baby Doll." "Come here." "Come over here, come over here." "Sit down here for a second." "I gotta tell you somethin'." "Just had to have one more taste." "This stuff come in anything besides strawberry?" "How 'bout if I bring some coconut next time." "Okay." " Sid..." "I really gotta go." " Okay." "Shouldn't you 'a got your period by now?" "I'm a little late, that's all." "How late are you?" "Why?" "What's the difference?" "If anything was to happen, which I'm sure it's not, it'd be my responsibility." "Now, just exactly how late are you, Honey?" "What do you care?" "Suppose I was to get pregnant?" "You just suppose it." "I'd never try to make you do somethin' ya didn't want to do." "Oh, I know." "But, ah...that's not the only issue here." "There's a lot more to it than that." "What other issue is there, Sid?" "My responsibility as its father, for one thing." "If I've got you pregnant, then I wanna do the right thing by you." "I'll pay for the abortion, I'll be with you through the whole thing, comfort you, just like I..." "I'd be going through it, too." "We'd both be goin' through it, together." "So how late are ya?" "Let's just wait and see what happens, okay?" "See you later." "I'll call you." "Fuck!" "C'mon!" "Last chance for the record!" "Go!" " Go!" " Go for the record, Mayo!" "This is it, Mayonnaise." "Go!" "Come on!" "Go for it, Mayo!" "Go get it!" "You got it!" "Let's go, Mayo!" "Push it!" "You can, Mayo!" "Put your name on that wall, Mayo!" "Put your name on that wall!" "C'mon Mike, let's catch that animal!" "Okay, let's do this together, Seeger." " Come on, Seeger." " Forget it, just go for the record." "Come on!" "You got it!" "Come on, man!" "Hey!" "Where you going?" " Seeger, get up." " Forget it." "You want jets?" "Then get up!" "You're going over that wall!" "Right here!" "You're gonna start right here." "Three steps." "Right, left, right." "Hand over hand!" "Walk the wall!" "Go stand on your mark!" " Come on, Seeger." " Ready?" "Let's go!" "Left, right, pull!" "Walk that wall, Seeger!" "Walk it!" "Walk the wall!" "Hand over hand!" "Walk it!" "Walk it!" "Walk the wall!" "Seeger!" "Seeger, walk!" "Seeger!" "Don't you let go!" "You walk that wall!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Pull, Candidate Seeger!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "One leg!" "You got it!" "Pull!" "Pull over!" "Pull yourself over!" "All right!" "Where's Sid?" "What makes you think she's not lyin' about the whole thing?" "She went to a doctor." "She had the test." "She's pregnant." "Okay, so get an abortion." "I'd love to, believe me." "She won't even talk about it." "She's Catholic." "Sid, you're not marrying this girl." "She says it's up to me, but if I don't, she'll go off and have the baby on her own somewhere." "So what!" "Women do it all the time." "What?" "I can't let her go off and have a kid by herself." "It's my kid, too." "You sure?" "It's mine." "I'm sorry, all right?" "Just listen to this!" "What if Foley was right?" "She got herself knocked up just to trap you." "Is it still your responsibility?" "That's not the point." "No matter how it happened, there's still be a child in this world and it'd be mine." "I wouldn't know where it was or its name or nothing." "Jesus Christ, Man!" "Is everything your responsibility?" "Sit." "Adjust." "Pray." "Attack." "It's like the same your brother getting killed." "It's the same damn thing as your brother..." "him getting killed instead of you." "Is that the real reason why you promised to marry this Susan?" "Isn't 't the reason you do everything, Man?" "Out of some bullshit code of ethics you picked up from your family?" "It may be bullshit to you, Buddy, but I wasn't raised that way!" "We got a responsibility to the people in our lives." "It's the only thing that separates us from the god damned animals!" "I'm just not like you, Mayo." "I can't shit all over people and just sleep like a baby at night." "Well, I say you got responsibility to yourself first, and if you can't handle that, you got lot bigger problems than making some girl pregnant!" "Gentlemen, relax." "Without an oxygen mask at 30,000 feet, your insides will feel like this rubber glove." "Your coordination will deteriorate." "Even the most childlike exercises will seem impossible." "Look for the warning signs..." "Giddiness, shortness of breath, claustrophobia." "They can hit you at any moment." "At the instant you feel yourself losing control, go back on oxygen." "That's the whole purpose of this drill." "Now, does everyone understand the exercises?" "Aye!" "Aye!" "Okay, everybody!" "Set?" "Okay!" "Let's see a thumbs up, please." "Very good." "Everybody remove your mask, please." "All right." "You can begin the exercises..." "Now!" "Queen of diamonds." "Nine of diamonds." "If you have any problems, just go ahead and put your mask on." "Or if you have any trouble doing that, raise your hand and the corpsman will assist you." "Five of clubs." "How you doing over there, Mayo and Seeger?" "Having a little trouble?" "Concentrate." "Try to make your palms meet." "Ace of spades." "How you doing down there, Worley?" "Worley, are you all right?" "Worley, can you hear me?" "Ace of spades." "Worley, put your mask back on, please." "Put your mask back on!" " Sid, you okay?" " Sid, you all right?" " Sid!" "Sid!" "I got to get outta here." "Worley, sit down." "Corpsman, we got a problem over here." "Corpsman!" "I got to get out of here!" "Zack!" "Get him some oxygen!" "Okay!" "Corpsman, we got an emergency." "Get that mask on!" "It's all right!" "Breathe!" "Get out of here!" "It's all right." "Breathe!" "Breathe!" "Mayo, they're watching!" "One minute." "We're going to stabilize the pressure." "It's okay." "It's all right." "Everything's okay." "Everybody's watching you." "Hold on." "We'll stabilize the pressure now." "Man the doors." "One minute." "Stay where you are." "Leave your masks on!" "He's fine." "He's got it!" "He's okay." "No problem." "He's okay." "Colors!" "Secure the halyard!" "Charlie, take care of that, will ya, Man." "Okay, Mayo." "What's going on?" "You didn't kick him out?" "Hey, wait a minute." "Did he tell you what he's been goin' through?" "It doesn't matter what he's been goin' through." "It's the whole purpose of this zoo." "What does matter is that he freaked-out for SOME reason at 25,000 feet." "And that can't happen EVER." "You don't understand, Sir, he's got a girl in town, she's pregnant." "She's putting him through hell." "That don't matter." "That don't matter." "Don't matter?" "Whatdya mean?" "You've got two weeks left!" "You're out just like that?" "It can still can happen to you, too, Mayonnaise." "He ain't bullshitting you, Buddy." "I'm talking to you, Motherfucker!" "Don't fuck-it-up for you, Man!" "What did you call me?" "I thought the DI's were supposed to help everybody out around here." "What kind of a human being are you?" "You better lock it up, Boy, or you gonna be going home with him." "Zack, go back to the barracks." "Please?" "I don't get this." "He's the best candidate in the class!" "The best student, the best leader..." "the best friend to everybody." "Can't you bend your god damn rules for once?" "Zack, he didn't ask me to D.O.R. I went to him." "What are you talking about?" "I'm glad it's over, Buddy." "I wasn't here for me, he was right, I was here for everybody BUT me." "I was here for my big brother." "Hey, Buddy." "Sid, wait a minute." "Sid!" "Request permission to carry on..." "Sir!" "Get the fuck out of here!" "Yes, Sir." "Keep the change." "Thanks, Pal." "Lynette!" " Hi, Baby." " Hi, Sid." "Come here a minute." "What are you doing out of uniform?" "Don't worry about that, just..." "just come out here for a minute." "I got somethin' for ya." "Well, wait just a second, all right?" "I look a mess." "All right, then." "If you don't want it..." "All right." "What?" " Well, if you don't want it." " What?" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God." "Oh...oh, it's beautiful!" "It cost me my whole savings, but I said what the fuck!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, Sid!" "Oh!" "So... does this mean..." "Yes, Ma'am!" "That's what it means!" "Oh, Sid!" "Oh!" " Let's get a justice of the peace and do it right now!" " Okay, well, I have to tell Paula!" "Oh, shit, I wonder where we'll get stationed first?" "Oh, I hope we go to Hawaii!" "You know, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!" "Honey, we're not gonna get stationed anywhere." "I D.O.R.'d." " You what?" " I D.O.R.'d." "Hell, I was never cut out to be a pilot." "I was faking it." "I've been faking everything in my life up to now." "But..." "What'll we do?" "Where would we go?" "Oklahoma." "I'll get my old job back at JC Penney's." "Hell, in two years, I'll be floor manager." "You're going to love Oklahoma." "And you and mama will get along great." "Money might be tight at first, so we might have to live there at home." "It's going to work out." "Sid..." "There's no baby." "What?" "I'm not pregnant." "I got my period this morning." "There's no baby, Sid." "I'll be god damned." "What do ya say we get married anyway?" "I love you!" "I don't think I really knew that till just now, just this second." "I have never been happier in my life than I have in the last seven weeks." "I've never felt so relaxed, and I've never felt so loved for who I really am." "Lynette, marry me." "Make me the happiest man in the whole world." "I'm sorry, Sid." "But I don't want to marry you." "I really like you, and... and we've had ourselves some really great times, but I thought you understood." "I want to marry a pilot." "I want to live my life overseas..." "the wife of an aviator!" "Damn you!" "God damn you!" "Nobody D.O.R.s after 11 weeks!" "Nobody!" "Hi, Ma'am." "Have you seen Paula around?" "Paula!" "Paula!" "I'm looking for Sid." "He D.O.R.'d and split."

"Come on up here, Son." "Hang tough, Buddy!" "Hello, Pussy." "How bad d'you want to survive?" "Sir, this officer candidate doesn't understand the drill instructor's question, Sir." "Ah...well, let's see if I can clarify it a little bit." "You want to survive bad enough to stop me, Pussy?" "Or are you relying on my generosity, my love of humanity, to stop me from killing you?" "I... breathe." "Break loose." "Break loose!" "I... can't... breathe." "Get away!" "You're not hurt, I coulda killed you if I wanted to." "Move off." "Get out of here!" "Hurry up!" "Get back to your seat!" "You think I was really harsh on your classmate, don't you?" "Just wait 'til you get shot down behind enemy lines somewhere, and the only thing between you and a POW Camp is what you learn from me." "Now that I got your attention, we shall proceed with the class." "God, I hope she shows." "She's going to show." "She will show." "A rich, socialite Okie like you ought to be a big catch around here." "Hey, I ain't rich." " You're an officer's kid." " So what?" "Man, I spent six years living right on top of the raunchiest whorehouse in the PI." "Oy!" "Oy!" "Paquero!" "You want numbah one fucky-fucky?" "Long time, short time." "$10!" "Cheap-cheap!" "10 bucks?" "10 dollah. 10 dollah!" "Lynette, Honey, how's it hanging?" "Don't drool on her, Boy." " Hey, Ladies." " Hi." "Pansy-ass flyboys." "I remember you." "Mayo the wop." "Yep, that's me." "It's good to see you." "I was looking forward to it." " Me, too." " Really?" "Yeah." "Uh...excuse me." "You guys want to just hang out here, or can I suggest an alternate plan?" "Like pick up a bottle and go to the motel?" "Just like that, yeah." "What do you think?" "I'll vote for a motel." "My kind of group." "Troy, here they come." "Well!" "Make way for the Warmongers." "What did you call us?" "I called you a Warmonger." "Ain't that what you are?" "Yeah, right." "I just want to ask you something." "Yeah, what do you want?" "You come up here for a couple of months, you rich college boys." "You're strutting' around in your ice cream outfits like you own the goddamned place." "What are you lookin' at, Duck Butt?" " Hey, who do you think you are?" " Man, I don't want to fight you." "I do not want to fight." "Why don't you just go back inside and cool down." "I ain't finished talking, Sailor Boy!" "Get him, Troy." "Oh, God." "Back off, Man." "That's enough, Man." "Holy shit!" "Check his nose!" "He broke his nose, Man." " You asshole!" " Faggot!" "Come on, come on!" "God!" "I never seen anything like that in my whole life." "Did you see that guy's nose?" "Lynette, will you just shut up until we get to the motel?" "Can you do me that, please?" "Well, excuse me for livin'." "Asshole!" "I shouldna done it, I shoulda walked away from him." "Zack, he didn't give you a choice." "I had a choice, everybody's got a choice." "Where d'you learn how to fight like that anyways?" "I don't want to talk about it now, all right?" "All right." "You know, Zack, it wouldn't kill you to open up to me a little bit." "What do you want?" "You want to fuck?" "Is that what you want?" "You wanna fuck?" "You know what?" "Come here!" "Get on the bed." "Take your clothes off." "I'll give you a good fuck." "Where's that coming from?" " Get on the bed." " I wouldn't fuck you now if my life depended on..." "Then get the hell outta here, 'cause I don't need this shit!" "I don't know who you think you're talking to." "You know I'm not some whore you brought in here." "I'm tryin' to be nice to you." "I'm trying to be your friend, Zack." "Then be a friend." "Get out of here." "Fine." "Fine." "You know, Man, you ain't nothing special." "You got no manners." "You treat women like whores." "And if you ask me, you got no chance of being no officer." "It's okay." "It's all right." "I'm sorry." " Are you hungry?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I'm starved." " Skivvies?" " Pretty sexy, huh?" " Sporty." " Control yourself, Baby." "Good!" "Look, Paula..." "I try real hard not to fool anybody about who I am, what I want." "I know who you are and what you want." "And what do you want?" "I want to have a good time until you have to leave." " That's it?" " Uh-huh." "Hey!" " Last night was incredible." " I thought so, too." " Zack, am I your fantasy?" " What?" "I'm not getting serious on you." "I dare you not to fall in love with me." "I mean, how can you resist?" "I'm like candy." "You are better than candy." "It's going to be very hard to get enough, very hard." "Very hard!" "You're getting feisty on me, you little Polack." "You cocky Polack!" "So, Zack, what do you do with a girl when you're through with her, huh?" "You say something or just disappear?" "Huh?" "I never had a girl." "And I forgot to thank you for breakfast." "Any time, Sailor." "Heads up, Perryman." "When you hit the water, you might get the wind knocked out of you." "Don't panic." "You've got a second and a half before the cage is completely underwater and it flips upside down." "Go, Joe!" "Now, the most important thing is to watch your bubbles." "When that cage flips upside down, you're gonna be disoriented." "You're not gonna know what your bearings are, like Perryman down there." " The bubbles will determine which way is up." " Holy shit!" "All right, time's up." "Go down for him, Jason." "This is what happens if you panic." "You can die down there, Children, and this is only a swimming' pool." "Out there in the Pacific, you won't have a frogman to save your ass." "Totally unsatisfactory, Perryman." "Gotta get in the back of the line." "Do it again." "You only got two more chances to make it, or you're out." "All right." "Next!" "Hold it." "Change in order." "Mayo... since you're hotshot of the week, you're next." "Aye, aye, Sir." " Seeger, you're behind him." " Yes, Sir." "You ought to be good at this, Mayo." "Something you can do alone." "Take him up, Joe!" "You never know in this program what's gonna trip ya up, huh, Mayo?" "It could be the grades or some little flaw in your character that comes out under stress." "Let's go, Joe!" "All right!" "Way to go!" "Okay, Seeger." "You're next." "All right, Seeger, let's go, let's go!" "C'mon!" "Get a move on!" "Okay, Joe, take her up!" "Don't you cry now, Sugar Britches!" "Go, Joe!" "All right, Seeger!" "All right." "Oh, gosh, that was great!" "Ya think they'd let us do it again?" "Not bad, Seeger." "But you still got to get over that wall." "Next!" "C'mon, c'mon, Daniels, let's move it!" "Take it easy now, it's just a joy ride." "Does this thing hit with the same impact as a plane?" "This in nothin' compared to a plane." "Okay." "Don't forget to watch the bubbles." "All right, Joe, take him up!" "All right, Daniels, let's us have the thumbs-up up there!" "C'mon, Daniels, c'mon, where's the thumbs up at?" "All right." "Go, Joe!" "Take it easy." "Pull it back up!" "Can't get it right now!" "It's gonna take a coupla seconds to hook it back up." "All right, let me through!" "Grab him!" "All right." "Pull him out!" "Hold him!" "Put him on his stomach!" "Take his helmet off!" "Quick!" " God damn!" " Get it off." "Christ!" "All right. get me a corpsman." "Savage!" "Get me a corpsman!" "On the double!" "Yes, Sir!" "Okay, everybody just stand back." "Come on, Topper." " God!" " Come on." "C'mon, Buddy, c'mon." "C'mon, Man." "C'mon, Topper." "C'mon." "Breathe in, breathe in." "Hey!" "All right." "All right!" "All right." "That corpsman on the way?" "Stand back." "Let him get by." "Give him some breathing' room." "Get it back." "Somebody go check on that corpsman." "He's gonna be all right." "Take it easy." "Prepare for inspection!" "Shit." "I am not going to make it." "Help me out, Sid." " Got a spare, Man?" " My spare sucks." "You know where the hardware store is." "Zack, I need a buckle, Man." "I can't risk it." "You got plenty'a time." "Man, he's still out with the girls." "Can't do it." "Hey, Zack, I got to see my family, Man." "I couldn't take it if they didn't let me outta here this weekend." "Wouldn't want you to get an honor violation, Perryman." "Okay." "Okay." "Attention on deck!" "In every class, there's always one joker who thinks he's smarter than me." "In this class, that happens to be you... isn't it, Mayonnaise?" "Perryman, Worley..." "let us have this room." "On the double!" " Couldn't happen to a nicer guy." " Stow it." "Mayo..." "I want your D.O.R." "No, Sir." "You can kick me outta here but I ain't quitting'." "Get into your fatigues, Mayo." "By the end of this weekend, you'll quit." "Casey Jones was a son of a bitch!" "Casey Jones was a son of a bitch!" "Drove his train in a 30-foot ditch!" "Drove his train in a 30-foot ditch!" "Came on out with his dick in his hand." "Came on out with his dick in his hand." "Said, "Listen, ladies, I'm a hell of a man."" "Said, "Listen, ladies, I'm a hell of a man."" "Went to his room and lined up a hundred." "Went to his room and lined up a hundred." "Swore up and down he'd fuck every one." "Swore up and down he'd fuck every one." "Fucked 98 'til his balls turned blue." "Fucked 98 'til his balls turned blue." "Then he backed off, jacked off, and fucked the other two!" "...he backed off, jacked off, and fucked the other two!" "Wave goodbye to your buddies, Mayo." "Oh, I forgot, you don't have any buddies." "Only customers." "You having fun, Mayonnaise?" "Yes, Sir!" " Don't hear you!" " Yes, Sir!" "All right!" "98... 99..." "Now, get your face all the way down in there!" "100." " You ready to quit now, Mayo?" " No, Sir!" "Look over there, Mayo." "Look over there." "Look at her." "She decided to stay instead of taking liberty on this weekend." "She may not make it through the program, but she's got more heart and more character than you'll ever have!" "And stop eyeballing me, boy!" "Life sure has dealt you some shitty cards, hasn't it, Mayo?" "I'm doing all right, Sir!" "6..." "Bullshit." "I done some checking." "I looked through your files." "I know about your mama." "Don't you eyeball me." "I know your father's a alcoholic and a ho chaser." "That's why you don't mesh, Mayo." "Because deep down..." "And don't you eyeball me, Boy!" "Deep down inside... you know all these other boys and girls are better than you!" "Isn't that right, Mayo?" "Huh?" "Isn't that right?" "No, Sir!" "No, Sir!" "What's the matter, Mayo, you gettin' tired?" "I'm not tired!" "Move it, boy!" "This is where the fun starts!" "Move it!" "You got all day tomorrow to look forward to!" "Get on!" "6 inches off the ground." "Give me 6 to 90." "Hey, Mayo, why don't we quit this little charade of yours over a couple of beers over at TJ's?" "C'mon, Man, you're about as close to being officer material as me." "Sir, this candidate believes he would make a good officer!" "No way, Mayo." "No way, you only give a shit about yourself." "And everyone of your classmates knows it." "Do you think they'd trust you behind the controls of a plane that they'd have to fly in?" "C'mon, Man!" "I take you as a kinda guy that'd zip-off one day in my F-14 and sell it to the Cubans, right?" "No, Sir!" "No, Sir!" "I love my country." "Sell it to the Air Force, Mayo." "Sell it to the Air Force." "Talk to me!" "Now, why would a slick hustler like you wanna sign up for this kind of abuse, anyway?" "I want to fly jets, Sir." "My grandmama wants to fly jets." "I wanted it since I was a kid!" "We're not talking about flying here, we're talking about character." "I've changed." "I've changed since I've been here." " The hell you have." " I've changed, Sir!" "Nah!" "You've just polished-up your act a little bit." "You've just shined it up!" "Now, tell me what I want to hear." "I want your D.O.R." "No, Sir!" " I want your D.O.R!" " I ain't going to quit." " Spell it!" "D-O-R." " I ain't gonna quit!" "Yeah, then you can be free and you and your daddy can get drunk and go whore-chasing together, huh?" " No, Sir!" " D.O.R.!" " I ain't going to quit!" "All right then, You can forget it." "You're out!" "Don't you do it!" "Don't... you..." "I got nowhere else to go!" "I got nowhere else to g..." "I ain't got nothing else." "I got nothing else." "All right, Mayo." "On your feet." "Come on, Mayo, let's get back to the barracks." "Hey, Foley!" "Zack, don't give up!" "You got that queer on the run!" "Kiss this, Foley!" "Hang in there, Zack!" "Remember the Tides Inn." "Those friends of yours there?" " Don't give up the ship, Mayo!" " Yes, Sir." "We're with you, Zack!" "Don't quit, Zack, you can make it!" "All right, Mayo, you got some urinals to clean." "Move out." "Hey, Foley's a queer!" "He got his balls shot off in the war!" "So you're still here, huh, Mayo?" " Sid." " Yeah?" "Thanks." "Sid." "Take a look at that." "That son of a bitch." "Want me to get a towel?" "I can get you one." "I don't want you to move." "Somebody's got to move sometime...eventually." ""They found them there weeks later," ""shriveled from lack of food and water."" "Bye, Zachary." "I laughed all week, thinking about you guys on that boat." "We were so drunk." "Pretty sharp, Paula." "Pretty sharp." "I'd love to be one of those girls they're lettin' in the flight program." "I think it'd be a gas to fly." "So, what's stopping you?" "You know all those magazines what they say, it's just..." "I don't know." "It's not so easy for a girl." "That's still no excuse for you not goin' out'n getting' what you want." "Just go get it." "And who says I'm not going after what I want?" "Not me." "My mama's 39 years old." "She still works over at that factory." "And every time I look at her I know exactly what I don't want." "My old lady... took a bottle of pills one day when I was at school." "Oh, God." "The thing that got me about it..." "She didn't leave a note, she didn't..." "Nothin'...she just checked out." "I always hated her for that." "Oh, God." "That must really hurt." "Hurt?" "No." "No." "You're all alone in the world." "Once you got that down, nothing hurts anymore." "I bet most people would buy that line when you feed it to 'em, huh?" "Hey, are you really serious about having him over?" "I don't know, I haven't made up my mind yet." "Paula... just how far would you go to get Zack?" " What do you mean?" " You know what I mean." "Would you let yourself get pregnant?" "No way, Lynette." "C'mon, would you?" "Well..." "I never used to think I'd do something like that." "But I just don't know anymore." "If you ask me, nine weeks just ain't long enough to get a guy to fall in love with ya." "Yeah, but that doesn't justify trying' to trap him... or getting pregnant." "I mean I can't even believe you'd had that thought." "It's real backward." "Well, it ain't any more backward if you ask me than the way these hotshot assholes just use us 'til they've had enough, and then ditch us like we's trash." "Don't you ever feel used, Paula?" "Don't you ever feel like this is all I get for all my trouble and this son of bitch ought to be payin' for it?" "No." "I never feel like that." "Well, I do." "Thanks again for the flowers, Zack." "Oh, it was my pleasure, Ma'am" "Those are the most beautiful things I've ever saw." "Wipe that stuff off your mouth." "Zack?" "This is great." "Sir?" "How many more weeks 'til graduation?" "Oh, I have three more." "Three more weeks." "And those are the roughest ones of all, aren't they?" "Yeah, that's what they tell me." "Sir, excuse me, why do you keep staring at my food?" "Or are you staring at me?" "I'm not staring at you." "He doesn't mean anything by it, Zack." "Do you, Joe?" "No, I don't mean anything by it." " Like some more chicken, Zack?" " No." "No, thanks." "In fact, I've had it." "I can't eat another bite, this is great." "I'm stuffed, too." "This is the best meal I've had in a long, long time, Ma'am, thank you." "Why don't we go, Zack." "Thank you, Mama." " Thank you, Zack." " Thanks again, Ma'am." "Go on and eat." "Mama, Mama!" "I'm sorry." "I'm so embarrassed, Zack." "I know I shouldn't'a brought ya here." "That's Okay." "A great free meal." "A nice, relaxing dinner." "Those people are so uptight, I felt so sorry for ya." "Don't feel sorry for me, I'm used to it." "It's hereditary." "So, anyway, after this, you go to basic flight which is in Pensacola, right?" "Yeah, Pensacola." "And, uh...then we go to Beeville, Texas, when I get jets." "So, after that..." "don't you think about..." "I mean, come on..." "What's after that?" "Family, kids..." "Don't you think about all that?" "No." " Is that what you think about?" " Sometimes." "If I could do a better job than them, I'd love it." "And what would you do different?" "Everything." "First, I'd marry a man I really loved." "So why did your mom marry this guy if she didn't love him?" "'cause my real father wouldn't marry her." " Your real father?" " My real father." "I want to show you my real father." "Pop." "So, your real father was an Officers Candidate, like me?" " Yeah, about 22 years ago." " Jesus." "No wonder this guy was looking at me funny." "He always looks funny." "Well, it's about time I got back to the wars." "Yeah, I know, I know, I know." "You thank your mom for dinner again, okay?" " Yeah, great chicken, huh?" " Yeah, I loved the chicken." "If you get a chance this week, why don't ya give me a call?" "Yeah, I'll try." "I have survival training this week, so I can't make any promises." "No promises." "Zack you know, I didn't have to show you that picture if I didn't want to." " I just wanted to tell you that." " Yeah, I know." "Bye, Baby." " Be careful on that." " Yeah." "You and Paula still seeing those flight candidates over to the base?" "Why?" "Any reason to think we wouldn't be?" "I don't know, 3:40 in the afternoon and not a word outta you 'bout where ya goin', whatchya doin' over the weekend." "Hi." "I..." "I..." "I'd like to speak with Zack Mayo." "He's an AOC candidate." "Could you look for him?" "Tell him it's Paula." "Liberty time, Boys and Girls." "Fall out!" "Aye, aye, Sir!" " Where you going?" "Where's my bread?" " Forget that thing." "Come on, Perryman." "Come on." " Seeger, don't forget TJ's." " I won't." "Hey, Mayo!" "You got a phone call." "Somebody named Paula." "Tell her I already split." "C'mon, c'mon, let's go!" "I see." "Okay." "Comes a time, right after they get their survival training, when they start thinking they can make it without you." "Suddenly, they stop calling." "Suddenly, they own the goddamn world." "They said that he already left." "I don't think he did." "He hasn't called by now, Paula, he ain't gonna call." "Bunny, just shut up!" "You don't know so much." "Clock me out, Lynette." "Paula, what are you doing?" "May they all crash and burn." " Paula, wait!" "Where are you going?" " Let me go, Mama." "You're are going to the base to look for Zack." "Don't do it, Paula!" "I have to, I love him." "I can't just let him run off." "Well, how you gonna you stop him if he don't wanna be stopped?" "I don't know, but I'm gonna think of a way." " No!" " No?" "Honey, please!" "I can't let you do this." "I just can't." "Don't go, Baby." "Please, don't go." "What are you crying about?" " Huh?" " 'cause I know what you're feeling!" " Oh, what am I feeling?" " Don't do it, Paula." "Let him go!" "Don't trick him or try trap him." " I wouldn't do anything like that." " Yes, you would." " No!" "I would never try to trap him." "If you go there tonight and you find him, you'll say anything, Baby." "You will." "And God help you after that." "Mama, you're right." "Daddy!" "Zack's only 2/10 of a second off the all-time obstacle course records." "He's gonna break it before he leaves." "You boys are lucky you weren't in the program when I was." "You couldn't quit the way you can now." "When I went through it..." "my oldest boy went through it, you bilged out, you were put into the fleet as a swabby." "That's real interesting, Sir." "Sid, how come you haven't written Susan in over three weeks?" "Oh, we haven't...we haven't had time to write anybody." "I've haven't even written Y'all but once." "It's incredible." " Right?" " Oh, yeah." " Who is this Susan, anyway?" " My girl back home." "I'm marrying her as soon I get out of here." "She was Tommy's girl." "They were supposed to get married before he got killed." "I don't know why I never told ya about her, I guess I didn't want you to think I was a shit for fucking Lynette." "Man, I ain't your parents, ya know?" "Do you love this girl?" "Ah, Man!" "The greatest chick you ever wanna know." "She loves kids." "Works with handicapped kids down at the church every afternoon." "Man, that ain't what I'm talking about." "I asked you if you loved her." "Everybody loves her." "Listen, I'm not gonna make that little reunion tonight." "Why not?" "I'm meeting Lynette at the Tides." "Best head in 52 states, Man." "What can I do?" "No, no, no." "You should've done what I did, Man..." "just break it off clean, have it done with, over." "It's the best." "She was pretty torn up you didn't call her." "But, I'm not supposed to tell you that." "Women." "Women, women, women." "They say, "Yeah, good time." "A lot of laughs, no problem."" "Doesn't work that way, does it?" "Look out, TJ's!" "Here I come." " See you later, Man." " 'kay." "I don't know, I don't know what you're smiling about, Perryman." "You're lucky you got here." " What are you talking about?" " I still taste that bug." "A toast." "We made it." "To survival." " To survival." " To survival." "In spite of Perryman." "In spite of Foley." "Hey!" "Is that your Deb over there, Baby?" "I think she's pulling rank on you, Man..." "that's a flight instructor she's with." "Back in a minute." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I thought it was time for me to see Legendary TJ's once before I left here." "You come here a lot?" "I come here once in a while." "I'm sorry I didn't call ya this weekend." "This week has been unbelievable." "It's okay." "How did the survival training go?" " I survived." " You survived." "Obviously." "How was your week?" "It was good." "I'm gonna get a raise beginning of next month, yeah." "That's great." "You guys are graduating in a couple weeks?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm starting to believe I'm actually gonna make it." "You'll make it." "Remember, I told you, you saw it, and it happened." "Yeah, you told me." "I got to go, 'cause I have a date." "And..so...uh..." "Look, there's something I wanted..." "What?" "I..." "I wanted to thank you." "I don't think I wouldn't have made it through this crazy thing, if I didn't have something to look forward to." "Don't thank me for nothin', I had a good time." "And good luck in Pensacola with your flight training, and..." "Get jets, huh?" "I'll see you, Zack." "Give me another one." "In fact, leave the bottle, give me the bottle." "Come 'ere, Baby Doll." "Come here." "Come over here, come over here." "Sit down here for a second." "I gotta tell you somethin'." "Just had to have one more taste." "This stuff come in anything besides strawberry?" "How 'bout if I bring some coconut next time." "Okay." " Sid..." "I really gotta go." " Okay." "Shouldn't you 'a got your period by now?" "I'm a little late, that's all." "How late are you?" "Why?" "What's the difference?" "If anything was to happen, which I'm sure it's not, it'd be my responsibility." "Now, just exactly how late are you, Honey?" "What do you care?" "Suppose I was to get pregnant?" "You just suppose it." "I'd never try to make you do somethin' ya didn't want to do." "Oh, I know." "But, ah...that's not the only issue here." "There's a lot more to it than that." "What other issue is there, Sid?" "My responsibility as its father, for one thing." "If I've got you pregnant, then I wanna do the right thing by you." "I'll pay for the abortion, I'll be with you through the whole thing, comfort you, just like I..." "I'd be going through it, too." "We'd both be goin' through it, together." "So how late are ya?" "Let's just wait and see what happens, okay?" "See you later." "I'll call you." "Fuck!" "C'mon!" "Last chance for the record!" "Go!" " Go!" " Go for the record, Mayo!" "This is it, Mayonnaise." "Go!" "Come on!" "Go for it, Mayo!" "Go get it!" "You got it!" "Let's go, Mayo!" "Push it!" "You can, Mayo!" "Put your name on that wall, Mayo!" "Put your name on that wall!" "C'mon Mike, let's catch that animal!" "Okay, let's do this together, Seeger." " Come on, Seeger." " Forget it, just go for the record." "Come on!" "You got it!" "Come on, man!" "Hey!" "Where you going?" " Seeger, get up." " Forget it." "You want jets?" "Then get up!" "You're going over that wall!" "Right here!" "You're gonna start right here." "Three steps." "Right, left, right." "Hand over hand!" "Walk the wall!" "Go stand on your mark!" " Come on, Seeger." " Ready?" "Let's go!" "Left, right, pull!" "Walk that wall, Seeger!" "Walk it!" "Walk the wall!" "Hand over hand!" "Walk it!" "Walk it!" "Walk the wall!" "Seeger!" "Seeger, walk!" "Seeger!" "Don't you let go!" "You walk that wall!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Pull, Candidate Seeger!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "One leg!" "You got it!" "Pull!" "Pull over!" "Pull yourself over!" "All right!" "Where's Sid?" "What makes you think she's not lyin' about the whole thing?" "She went to a doctor." "She had the test." "She's pregnant." "Okay, so get an abortion." "I'd love to, believe me." "She won't even talk about it." "She's Catholic." "Sid, you're not marrying this girl." "She says it's up to me, but if I don't, she'll go off and have the baby on her own somewhere." "So what!" "Women do it all the time." "What?" "I can't let her go off and have a kid by herself." "It's my kid, too." "You sure?" "It's mine." "I'm sorry, all right?" "Just listen to this!" "What if Foley was right?" "She got herself knocked up just to trap you." "Is it still your responsibility?" "That's not the point." "No matter how it happened, there's still be a child in this world and it'd be mine." "I wouldn't know where it was or its name or nothing." "Jesus Christ, Man!" "Is everything your responsibility?" "Sit." "Adjust." "Pray." "Attack." "It's like the same your brother getting killed." "It's the same damn thing as your brother..." "him getting killed instead of you." "Is that the real reason why you promised to marry this Susan?" "Isn't 't the reason you do everything, Man?" "Out of some bullshit code of ethics you picked up from your family?" "It may be bullshit to you, Buddy, but I wasn't raised that way!" "We got a responsibility to the people in our lives." "It's the only thing that separates us from the god damned animals!" "I'm just not like you, Mayo." "I can't shit all over people and just sleep like a baby at night." "Well, I say you got responsibility to yourself first, and if you can't handle that, you got lot bigger problems than making some girl pregnant!" "Gentlemen, relax." "Without an oxygen mask at 30,000 feet, your insides will feel like this rubber glove." "Your coordination will deteriorate." "Even the most childlike exercises will seem impossible." "Look for the warning signs..." "Giddiness, shortness of breath, claustrophobia." "They can hit you at any moment." "At the instant you feel yourself losing control, go back on oxygen." "That's the whole purpose of this drill." "Now, does everyone understand the exercises?" "Aye!" "Aye!" "Okay, everybody!" "Set?" "Okay!" "Let's see a thumbs up, please." "Very good." "Everybody remove your mask, please." "All right." "You can begin the exercises..." "Now!" "Queen of diamonds." "Nine of diamonds." "If you have any problems, just go ahead and put your mask on." "Or if you have any trouble doing that, raise your hand and the corpsman will assist you." "Five of clubs." "How you doing over there, Mayo and Seeger?" "Having a little trouble?" "Concentrate." "Try to make your palms meet." "Ace of spades." "How you doing down there, Worley?" "Worley, are you all right?" "Worley, can you hear me?" "Ace of spades." "Worley, put your mask back on, please." "Put your mask back on!" " Sid, you okay?" " Sid, you all right?" " Sid!" "Sid!" "I got to get outta here." "Worley, sit down." "Corpsman, we got a problem over here." "Corpsman!" "I got to get out of here!" "Zack!" "Get him some oxygen!" "Okay!" "Corpsman, we got an emergency." "Get that mask on!" "It's all right!" "Breathe!" "Get out of here!" "It's all right." "Breathe!" "Breathe!" "Mayo, they're watching!" "One minute." "We're going to stabilize the pressure." "It's okay." "It's all right." "Everything's okay." "Everybody's watching you." "Hold on." "We'll stabilize the pressure now." "Man the doors." "One minute." "Stay where you are." "Leave your masks on!" "He's fine." "He's got it!" "He's okay." "No problem." "He's okay." "Colors!" "Secure the halyard!" "Charlie, take care of that, will ya, Man." "Okay, Mayo." "What's going on?" "You didn't kick him out?" "Hey, wait a minute." "Did he tell you what he's been goin' through?" "It doesn't matter what he's been goin' through." "It's the whole purpose of this zoo." "What does matter is that he freaked-out for SOME reason at 25,000 feet." "And that can't happen EVER." "You don't understand, Sir, he's got a girl in town, she's pregnant." "She's putting him through hell." "That don't matter." "That don't matter." "Don't matter?" "Whatdya mean?" "You've got two weeks left!" "You're out just like that?" "It can still can happen to you, too, Mayonnaise." "He ain't bullshitting you, Buddy." "I'm talking to you, Motherfucker!" "Don't fuck-it-up for you, Man!" "What did you call me?" "I thought the DI's were supposed to help everybody out around here." "What kind of a human being are you?" "You better lock it up, Boy, or you gonna be going home with him." "Zack, go back to the barracks." "Please?" "I don't get this." "He's the best candidate in the class!" "The best student, the best leader..." "the best friend to everybody." "Can't you bend your god damn rules for once?" "Zack, he didn't ask me to D.O.R. I went to him." "What are you talking about?" "I'm glad it's over, Buddy." "I wasn't here for me, he was right, I was here for everybody BUT me." "I was here for my big brother." "Hey, Buddy." "Sid, wait a minute." "Sid!" "Request permission to carry on..." "Sir!" "Get the fuck out of here!" "Yes, Sir." "Keep the change." "Thanks, Pal." "Lynette!" " Hi, Baby." " Hi, Sid." "Come here a minute." "What are you doing out of uniform?" "Don't worry about that, just..." "just come out here for a minute." "I got somethin' for ya." "Well, wait just a second, all right?" "I look a mess." "All right, then." "If you don't want it..." "All right." "What?" " Well, if you don't want it." " What?" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God." "Oh...oh, it's beautiful!" "It cost me my whole savings, but I said what the fuck!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, Sid!" "Oh!" "So... does this mean..." "Yes, Ma'am!" "That's what it means!" "Oh, Sid!" "Oh!" " Let's get a justice of the peace and do it right now!" " Okay, well, I have to tell Paula!" "Oh, shit, I wonder where we'll get stationed first?" "Oh, I hope we go to Hawaii!" "You know, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!" "Honey, we're not gonna get stationed anywhere." "I D.O.R.'d." " You what?" " I D.O.R.'d." "Hell, I was never cut out to be a pilot." "I was faking it." "I've been faking everything in my life up to now." "But..." "What'll we do?" "Where would we go?" "Oklahoma." "I'll get my old job back at JC Penney's." "Hell, in two years, I'll be floor manager." "You're going to love Oklahoma." "And you and mama will get along great." "Money might be tight at first, so we might have to live there at home." "It's going to work out." "Sid..." "There's no baby." "What?" "I'm not pregnant." "I got my period this morning." "There's no baby, Sid." "I'll be god damned." "What do ya say we get married anyway?" "I love you!" "I don't think I really knew that till just now, just this second." "I have never been happier in my life than I have in the last seven weeks." "I've never felt so relaxed, and I've never felt so loved for who I really am." "Lynette, marry me." "Make me the happiest man in the whole world." "I'm sorry, Sid." "But I don't want to marry you." "I really like you, and... and we've had ourselves some really great times, but I thought you understood." "I want to marry a pilot." "I want to live my life overseas..." "the wife of an aviator!" "Damn you!" "God damn you!" "Nobody D.O.R.s after 11 weeks!" "Nobody!" "Hi, Ma'am." "Have you seen Paula around?" "Paula!" "Paula!" "I'm looking for Sid." "He D.O.R.'d and split." "Nobody's seen him since." "I don't know where to look." " Same room?" " Yes, Sir." "Number three." "Yep." "That's the one." " Tell me something, what do ya think of this?" " Looks nice." "Watch this." "I think you'll like it." "Damn it!" "Shit." "Lynette." " Has Sid been here?" " Already come and gone." "And what happened?" "Can you believe it?" "He D.O.R.'d in the 12th week." "How can you win?" "Lynette..." "What did you tell him about the baby?" "That there isn't one... as of today." "I got my period this morning." "I couldn't believe it." "He still wanted to marry me." " And what did you say?" " I said no, of course." "I don't want no Okie from Muskogee." "I can get that right here." "You little bitch." "Who the hell do you think you are, playing with people like that?" "He loves you!" "And you just sit on him!" "You made up everything, didn't you?" "There wasn't any baby." "Of course there was a baby!" "God!" "I'd never lie about something like that!" "Would I, Paula?" "You little cunt." "God help you." "You're no different than I am, Paula." " Oh yes I am." " Oh no you're not!" " Let me see if he's here, okay?" " All right." "Hey, Mack, seen Sid Worley around here?" "Yeah, he's here." "Sid." "Sid." "Guy said he just got here." "Sid." "Sid?" "Hey, man."

"Why didn't you come and talk to me about it, huh?" "You didn't even try." "You didn't even say goodbye to me." "I just spoke to the Chaplain over to the base and he said he'd call Sid's parents." "Why can't I learn?" "Just like her all over again." "Just like her." "Zack, don't do this to yourself." "You didn't kill your mother." "You didn't kill Sid." "They killed themselves." "There's nothing you could have done about it." "Look, I gotta get outta here." "Do you want some money or something to get a cab?" " Something." "I..." " I don't deserve that." "Okay." "All right." "You know, you're not the only one that's feeling awful." "Maybe I had something to do with what happened." "I knew what Lynette was doing." "I coulda said something and I didn't."
