00:
28:41,386 -- 00:28:43,721

What about your family?

421

00:
28:43,763 -- 00:28:46,014

No, they don't need to know.

422

00:
28:46,057 -- 00:28:48,600

Not while my brother's deployed.

423

00:
28:48,643 -- 00:28:50,561

Not while my father's

still alive.

424

00:
28:53,690 -- 00:28:55,107

Leo?

425

00:
28:56,735 -- 00:28:58,902

This needs to stay

between us, OK?

426

00:
28:58,945 -- 00:29:00,154

Of course.

427

00:
29:07,704 -- 00:29:09,705

You know, I always

thought you had

428

00:
29:09,748 -- 00:29:11,665

a little crush

on me in high school.

429

00:
29:12,917 -- 00:29:14,293

Uh uh...

430

00:
29:15,128 -- 00:29:16,545

Oh!

431

00:
29:19,758 -- 00:29:22,509

Your crush on Leo didn't

do you much good, either.

432

00:
29:22,552 -- 00:29:24,011

No thanks to you.

433

00:
29:24,763 -- 00:29:28,640

What a confused and frustrated

little triangle that was.

434

00:
29:28,683 -- 00:29:30,267

Yeah.

435

00:
29:37,442 -- 00:29:39,568

Hey...

436

00:
29:39,611 -- 00:29:41,695

You've got your ring

on the wrong hand.

437

00:
29:43,448 -- 00:29:46,116

Is that some kind of code?

438

00:
29:46,159 -- 00:29:47,409

No...

439

00:
29:47,452 -- 00:29:50,287

I just broke this finger.

It won't fit anymore.

440

00:
29:52,457 -- 00:29:54,082

Does your husband know?

441

00:
30:03,092 -- 00:30:05,803

I'm just here to

pay for the damages.

442

00:
30:05,845 -- 00:30:08,180

It's been taken care of.

443

00:
30:09,057 -- 00:30:10,182

Leo?

444

00:
30:14,270 -- 00:30:15,687

What's he drinkin'?

445

00:
30:25,949 -- 00:30:27,282

You rack.

446

00:
30:29,494 -- 00:30:31,453

I get a little dizzy bending over.

447

00:
30:37,043 -- 00:30:39,461

Garbage!

448

00:
30:39,504 -- 00:30:43,382

Garbage...is gold!

449

00:
30:44,509 -- 00:30:46,635

You ain't got a shot now.

450

00:
30:51,432 -- 00:30:53,392

Hey!

451

00:
30:53,434 -- 00:30:55,811

You forfeit the game that way.

452

00:
30:58,106 -- 00:31:00,232

Shooting willy nilly is silly.

453

00:
31:02,402 -- 00:31:03,986

Fine.

454

00:
31:04,028 -- 00:31:05,654

Forfeit then.

455

00:
31:05,697 -- 00:31:08,699

We don't train

to shoot half-cocked.

456

00:
31:10,285 -- 00:31:13,662

Half-crocked, you mean.

457

00:
31:13,705 -- 00:31:15,497

You're fully crocked.

458

00:
31:16,207 -- 00:31:19,501

I can't do it. I won't.

So, I'm going home.

459

00:
31:19,544 -- 00:31:21,336

And I'm not even gonna drive,

460

00:
31:21,379 -- 00:31:23,547

because that's just

a bigger bullet.

461

00:
31:23,590 -- 00:31:26,258

I salute that wise decision.

462

00:
31:26,301 -- 00:31:27,634

As you were.

463

00:
31:30,346 -- 00:31:31,763

Hang a right out the door

464

00:
31:31,806 -- 00:31:34,391

and keep walking

until you see your mailbox.

465

00:
31:34,434 -- 00:31:35,642

Night, Turk!

466

00:
31:35,685 -- 00:31:38,562

W.M...

467

00:
31:38,605 -- 00:31:42,608

stands for Walkin' Marine!

468

00:
31:42,650 -- 00:31:44,192

Ooo-rah!

469

00:
31:47,322 -- 00:31:51,199

I used to drive a Chevrolet...

470

00:
31:51,242 -- 00:31:56,663

Now I'm walkin' everyday...

471

00:
31:56,706 -- 00:32:02,377

I used to drive a Cadillac...

472

00:
32:02,420 -- 00:32:07,549

Now I'm humpin' with my pack...

473

00:
32:07,592 -- 00:32:10,636

If I die in a combat zone...

474

00:
32:10,678 -- 00:32:13,722

Box me up and ship me home!

475

00:
32:30,782 -- 00:32:34,826

Close Combat Instructor,

Drill Sergeant,

476

00:
32:34,869 -- 00:32:38,163

Amphibious Warfare

School graduate...

477

00:
32:38,206 -- 00:32:40,248

Top marks all around.

478

00:
32:40,291 -- 00:32:42,334

And a Mustang to boot.

479

00:
32:44,003 -- 00:32:46,046

Just so we're clear,

480

00:
32:46,089 -- 00:32:48,006

I don't see how

you being a lesbian

481

00:
32:48,049 -- 00:32:50,133

makes a damn bit of difference.

482

00:
32:50,176 -- 00:32:51,677

I am not a lesbian.

483

00:
32:51,719 -- 00:32:54,096

And I didn't just

ask you if you were.

484

00:
32:54,138 -- 00:32:56,556

I'm just following the assumption.

485

00:
32:58,476 -- 00:33:01,436

We fight side by side with the

British and they let the gays in

486

00:
33:01,479 -- 00:33:03,438

so, believe me,

I know how stupid this is.

487

00:
33:03,481 -- 00:33:04,648

Yes, sir.

488

00:
33:05,817 -- 00:33:07,818

Certainly you've had to deal

with this issue in your command,

489

00:
33:07,860 -- 00:33:09,444

haven't you?

490

00:
33:09,487 -- 00:33:11,738

I had two men tell me they

were in love with each other

491

00:
33:11,781 -- 00:33:13,615

right after September 11th.

492

00:
33:13,658 -- 00:33:14,992

How did you handle it?

493

00:
33:15,034 -- 00:33:17,119

I told them to kiss. They couldn't.

494

00:
33:18,830 -- 00:33:21,123

And you left it there?

495

00:
33:21,165 -- 00:33:23,959

They were just afraid

ofwhat was coming.

496

00:
33:24,002 -- 00:33:25,794

They got over it.

497

00:
33:25,837 -- 00:33:27,796

So they stayed in the fight.

498

00:
33:29,507 -- 00:33:32,968

See, that's the issue, right there.

499

00:
33:33,011 -- 00:33:35,554

If a homosexual is allowed

to stay in the fight,

500

00:
33:35,596 -- 00:33:37,014

maybe die in the fight,

501

00:
33:37,056 -- 00:33:39,433

there's no way in hell

some politician can tell 'em

502

00:
33:39,475 -- 00:33:41,977

who they can or can't marry.

You see what I mean?

503

00:
33:42,020 -- 00:33:47,232

It's not a matter of unit cohesion

or troop morale.

504

00:
33:47,275 -- 00:33:48,900

It's about the damn marriage issue...

505

00:
33:48,943 -- 00:33:51,903

Respectfully,

I appreciate your insight,

506

00:
33:51,946 -- 00:33:54,823

but I really, really

don't care about this crap.

507

00:
33:59,203 -- 00:34:00,787

At ease, Major.

508

00:
34:03,708 -- 00:34:05,917

I just want to be

free to do my job, sir.

509

00:
34:08,880 -- 00:34:11,048

Now is not the time

to be losing any Marine,

510

00:
34:11,090 -- 00:34:12,674

that's certain.

511

00:
34:12,717 -- 00:34:14,801

Is there a way to

at least push this off

512

00:
34:14,844 -- 00:34:17,179

until I'm eligible for

my pension next year?

513

00:
34:18,723 -- 00:34:21,224

I'll see if I can slow the wheels.

514

00:
34:21,267 -- 00:34:24,352

I'd appreciate whatever

you can do on my behalf, sir.

515

00:
34:27,523 -- 00:34:28,815

Got your back.

516

00:
34:30,068 -- 00:34:31,026

Dismissed.

517

00:
35:28,251 -- 00:35:29,751

Corpsman up!

518

00:
35:29,794 -- 00:35:31,169

Corpsman!

519

00:
35:31,212 -- 00:35:33,088

You got a man down over here...

520

00:
35:34,799 -- 00:35:36,591

Bone check.

521

00:
35:36,634 -- 00:35:38,135

All good.

522

00:
35:38,177 -- 00:35:41,012

Hotel, Echo, Lima, Papa!

523

00:
35:41,055 -- 00:35:43,557

This is Devilfish 1-2 calling medevac.

524

00:
35:43,599 -- 00:35:45,225

I'm hit!

525

00:
35:49,730 -- 00:35:51,815

Anybody copy?

I said I'm hit!

526

00:
36:00,658 -- 00:36:10,625

Where is everybody?

527

00:
37:01,886 -- 00:37:03,720

What a bender you're on.

528

00:
37:06,390 -- 00:37:07,891

Well, come on in.
