I thought they weren't

lettin' anyone out.

208

00:
15:36,393 -- 00:15:37,435

They are.

209

00:
15:38,312 -- 00:15:40,521

Yeah, but I thought

you were in for life -

210

00:
15:40,564 -- 00:15:42,065

family tradition and all.

211

00:
15:48,113 -- 00:15:50,907

Listen, if it has anything

to do with your marriage

212

00:
15:50,950 -- 00:15:52,909

to what's-his-name...

213

00:
15:52,952 -- 00:15:56,037

If he comes around here,

I'm gonna knock him down for ya.

214

00:
15:56,080 -- 00:15:58,289

He's a Navy SEAL, Leo.

215

00:
15:58,332 -- 00:16:00,708

Be a friggin' walrus,

I'll still knock him down.

216

00:
16:01,543 -- 00:16:02,919

He's not comin' around.

217

00:
16:08,884 -- 00:16:11,052

So you're out...

218

00:
16:12,304 -- 00:16:14,263

What next?

219

00:
16:14,306 -- 00:16:15,932

Exactly.

220

00:
16:17,643 -- 00:16:19,811

We'll have to find something

fun for you to do then.

221

00:
16:27,027 -- 00:16:28,236

Leo, I...

222

00:
16:28,278 -- 00:16:29,612

Hold that thought.

223

00:
16:29,655 -- 00:16:30,446

- Boys!

- Leo!

224

00:
16:31,240 -- 00:16:33,491

Get down here.

Somebody I want you to meet.

225

00:
16:34,076 -- 00:16:35,952

All right, guys, let's go.

To the troops!

226

00:
16:35,995 -- 00:16:37,161

To the troops!

227

00:
16:39,289 -- 00:16:41,833

-Ah!

- Yeah!

228

00:
16:41,875 -- 00:16:43,710

How would you even

know there's a war on?

229

00:
16:43,752 -- 00:16:45,169

They ain't raised taxes,

they lowered 'em.

230

00:
16:45,212 -- 00:16:46,671

Don't you read

the bumper stickers?

231

00:
16:46,714 -- 00:16:49,340

Yeah, and those yellow ribbons.

Those help.

232

00:
16:50,175 -- 00:16:53,344

So you lady Marines

all really Semper Fi and sh*t?

233

00:
16:53,387 -- 00:16:54,804

We're just called Marines.

234

00:
16:54,847 -- 00:16:57,015

But you still do all that

secretarial work, right?

235

00:
16:57,057 -- 00:16:59,142

They flyjets, idiot,

helicopters.

236

00:
16:59,184 -- 00:17:00,977

The only thing they

don't do is ground combat,

237

00:
17:01,020 -- 00:17:01,978

but that's gonna change.

238

00:
17:02,021 -- 00:17:04,480

Combat? No f***in' way.

239

00:
17:04,523 -- 00:17:05,815

No offense, honey.

240

00:
17:05,858 -- 00:17:07,150

Try not to be a prick.

241

00:
17:07,192 -- 00:17:09,527

What Turk is saying,

in his graceful manner--

242

00:
17:09,570 -- 00:17:10,737

Very graceful.

243

00:
17:10,779 -- 00:17:13,573

...the difference between

men and women--

244

00:
17:13,615 -- 00:17:15,491

A gun is a great equalizer.

245

00:
17:15,534 -- 00:17:17,660

Yeah, yeah, but some jobs

men are just better at,

246

00:
17:17,703 -- 00:17:18,995

because of the muscle mass.

247

00:
17:19,038 -- 00:17:20,496

Muscle mass, Stenny!

248

00:
17:20,539 -- 00:17:22,832

It's not that women

aren't part of the team,

249

00:
17:22,875 -- 00:17:25,168

there's just the strength issue.

250

00:
17:25,210 -- 00:17:26,002

He's right.

251

00:
17:26,045 -- 00:17:28,337

There's that saying that

the strongest woman

252

00:
17:28,380 -- 00:17:29,672

is equal to the weakest man.

253

00:
17:29,715 -- 00:17:30,673

What?

254

00:
17:30,716 -- 00:17:32,467

It's true, so if we're

talking about combat...

255

00:
17:32,509 -- 00:17:34,177

What did you just say?

256

00:
17:35,554 -- 00:17:37,346

I didn't saying anything, I'm just...

257

00:
17:37,389 -- 00:17:38,890

You just said that

258

00:
17:38,932 -- 00:17:41,768

the strongest woman

is equal to the weakest man?

259

00:
17:41,810 -- 00:17:43,478

Yeah.

260

00:
17:43,520 -- 00:17:45,688

I'd take that bet.

261

00:
17:45,731 -- 00:17:48,816

Dale, arm-wrestle her.

262

00:
17:48,859 -- 00:17:51,527

- Yeah, buddy!

- Yeah!

263

00:
17:51,570 -- 00:17:52,695

I'm not the weakest.

264

00:
17:52,738 -- 00:17:54,447

You want to go

round robin on this?

265

00:
17:54,490 -- 00:17:55,782

Cut to the chase.

You're it.

266

00:
17:55,824 -- 00:17:57,366

Woo!!!

267

00:
17:57,409 -- 00:17:59,285

Come on!

268

00:
18:00,412 -- 00:18:02,538

It'll be like

a little science experiment.

269

00:
18:02,581 -- 00:18:03,539

You got her, buddy.

270

00:
18:03,582 -- 00:18:06,209

Come on, baby,

make me proud.

271

00:
18:07,419 -- 00:18:09,045

A good clean fight...

272

00:
18:09,088 -- 00:18:12,048

No kicking, no biting, Dale.

273

00:
18:12,091 -- 00:18:13,216

I got 20 on Alex.

274

00:
18:13,258 -- 00:18:14,425

I got that bet.

275

00:
18:14,468 -- 00:18:16,052

Good. Put your money

on the table.

276

00:
18:16,095 -- 00:18:17,762

- Here we go.

- Ready?

277

00:
18:17,805 -- 00:18:20,765

One, two, wrestle.

278

00:
18:20,808 -- 00:18:22,558

Come on!

279

00:
18:22,601 -- 00:18:24,018

Put her down!

280

00:
18:29,942 -- 00:18:31,567

What the hell?!

281

00:
18:31,610 -- 00:18:32,902

What happened?

282

00:
18:32,945 -- 00:18:36,572

Well, we put that

theory to rest, boys.

283

00:
18:36,615 -- 00:18:38,324

Yeah, wait, wait!

284

00:
18:38,367 -- 00:18:41,160

I get shot, she can't

carry me off the field.

285

00:
18:41,203 -- 00:18:43,579

I can't carry you off the field.

286

00:
18:43,622 -- 00:18:45,706

All right, let's test this with a real man.

287

00:
18:45,749 -- 00:18:46,916

A lefty!

288

00:
18:50,045 -- 00:18:52,672

All right, hold on, hold on.

You know what, guys?

289

00:
18:52,714 -- 00:18:54,340

I think we proved the point.

290

00:
18:56,135 -- 00:18:57,927

- Alex, my compliments.

- Thank you.

291

00:
18:58,804 -- 00:19:01,556

- I'm buying.

- That's my money.

292

00:
19:01,598 -- 00:19:03,391

Cool!

293

00:
19:11,275 -- 00:19:14,485

The front line is just about

anywhere you drive a HumVee,

294

00:
19:14,528 -- 00:19:17,780

so women are

in combat every day.

295

00:
19:17,823 -- 00:19:19,574

But you can relax.

296

00:
19:19,616 -- 00:19:21,993

It's not gonna be

official policy any time soon.

297

00:
19:24,663 -- 00:19:29,333

I had a buddy who was a Marine,

and the women Marines...

298

00:
19:29,376 -- 00:19:33,129

well, all the other grunts

called them W.M.'s.

299

00:
19:33,172 -- 00:19:34,797

Waste of money.

300

00:
19:34,840 -- 00:19:37,049

- That's what he said.

- Jesus, Turk.

301

00:
19:37,092 -- 00:19:38,634

He's really not our friend.

302

00:
19:38,677 -- 00:19:40,511

- That's what he said.

- It's all right.

303

00:
19:40,554 -- 00:19:42,430

We have an all-volunteer military

304

00:
19:42,472 -- 00:19:43,931

that's stretched pretty thin

305

00:
19:43,974 -- 00:19:46,350

and they'll take pretty much

anyone they can get,

306

00:
19:46,393 -- 00:19:49,896

so I'd say if you're

not gonna join up,

307

00:
19:49,938 -- 00:19:51,355

you can shut the f*** up.

308

00:
19:52,566 -- 00:19:54,317

Well, she's got you there, bud.

309

00:
19:54,860 -- 00:19:56,152

What'd I miss?

310

00:
19:58,030 -- 00:19:59,989

Where are you going?

311

00:
20:00,032 -- 00:20:01,657

There's your difference

right there, boys...

312

00:
20:01,700 -- 00:20:03,409

Bladder the size of an acorn.
