529

00:
37:17,276 -- 00:37:19,444

The first thing you're gonna

see when you get off the bus

530

00:
37:19,487 -- 00:37:21,905

is a line of yellow footmarks.

531

00:
37:21,948 -- 00:37:23,657

You put your feet on them.

532

00:
37:23,950 -- 00:37:25,825

Stand at attention, like this.

533

00:
37:25,868 -- 00:37:27,452

Eyes and head

straight to the front.

534

00:
37:27,495 -- 00:37:29,788

Don't look in my eyes.

Look straight front.

535

00:
37:29,830 -- 00:37:31,539

Do not ever make eye contact.

536

00:
37:35,628 -- 00:37:37,545

It will be late in the evening.

537

00:
37:37,588 -- 00:37:40,340

You will be tired and hungry

and disoriented.

538

00:
37:40,383 -- 00:37:42,217

And that's exactly

the way they want you,

539

00:
37:42,260 -- 00:37:43,885

because for the next few hours

540

00:
37:43,928 -- 00:37:46,846

every manifestation ofwhat you

consider to be your identity

541

00:
37:46,889 -- 00:37:48,306

will be stripped away.

542

00:
37:48,349 -- 00:37:51,518

Your clothing, your hairstyle,

your mannerisms,

543

00:
37:51,560 -- 00:37:53,812

speech patterns,

bad habits, everything.

544

00:
37:53,854 -- 00:37:56,856

They get in your face and call

you maggot even if you're a girl?

545

00:
37:56,899 -- 00:37:58,233

Yes.

546

00:
37:58,276 -- 00:38:00,235

- Show me.

- No.

547

00:
38:02,697 -- 00:38:05,073

Sheriff said you were

a drill instructor once.

548

00:
38:05,116 -- 00:38:06,408

Let's see it.

549

00:
38:06,450 -- 00:38:07,534

No.

550

00:
38:09,412 -- 00:38:11,246

Do it.

Call me a maggot.

551

00:
38:11,289 -- 00:38:13,248

You know you want to.

552

00:
38:13,291 -- 00:38:15,292

Ever since you saw me

you've had it out for me.

553

00:
38:15,334 -- 00:38:16,376

So just do it.

554

00:
38:16,419 -- 00:38:18,837

It's not like you haven't already

been a major b*tch anyway.

555

00:
38:18,879 -- 00:38:19,754

I'm curious to see...

556

00:
38:19,797 -- 00:38:21,965

Curious will get you killed, recruit!

557

00:
38:22,008 -- 00:38:25,593

From now on, everything you

need to know I will tell you!

558

00:
38:25,636 -- 00:38:28,346

Everything you think

you know, you will forget!

559

00:
38:28,389 -- 00:38:30,849

Did I not just explain to you

how to stand at attention?

560

00:
38:30,891 -- 00:38:32,142

Shoulders back!

561

00:
38:32,184 -- 00:38:33,560

How old are you, Snow?

562

00:
38:33,602 -- 00:38:35,729

- Uh, 20.

- Uh? Uh?

563

00:
38:35,771 -- 00:38:37,564

We do not say 'uh'

in the Marine Corps.

564

00:
38:37,606 -- 00:38:39,899

Uh is something you hear

from little lady meth-heads

565

00:
38:39,942 -- 00:38:41,318

who sell their twats for a fix.

566

00:
38:41,360 -- 00:38:43,361

You sell your twat

for a fix, Snowblind?

567

00:
38:43,404 -- 00:38:44,779

Uh, no--

I mean no!

568

00:
38:44,822 -- 00:38:46,614

You will answer me

ma'am, yes ma'am.

569

00:
38:46,657 -- 00:38:47,782

Do you understand me?

570

00:
38:47,825 -- 00:38:49,617

- Ma'am, yes, ma'am.

- Ma'am, yes, ma'am.

571

00:
38:49,660 -- 00:38:52,620

Did it take you 20 years to

get this stupid, Snowflake?

572

00:
38:52,663 -- 00:38:53,788

- OK.

- Hey!

573

00:
38:53,831 -- 00:38:55,790

Did I tell you

to step off your marks?

574

00:
38:55,833 -- 00:38:57,876

Why are you not

standing on your marks?

575

00:
38:57,918 -- 00:38:59,753

Do you need

your fix, Snowblind,

576

00:
38:59,795 -- 00:39:01,629

or are you just ready to

run home to grandma?

577

00:
39:01,672 -- 00:39:04,674

All right, I get it, OK!

Stop it, stop it!

578

00:
39:04,717 -- 00:39:05,884

Holy sh*t!

579

00:
39:10,931 -- 00:39:13,558

I am not a meth-head!

I've never even tried it!

580

00:
39:17,980 -- 00:39:19,814

I'm just being hard on you

581

00:
39:19,857 -- 00:39:22,817

so you're not completely

unprepared for boot camp.

582

00:
39:22,860 -- 00:39:24,736

What I've been describing here

583

00:
39:24,779 -- 00:39:27,280

is day one

with the Marine Corps.

584

00:
39:27,323 -- 00:39:30,283

The Marine Corps is

the toughest, the elite.

585

00:
39:31,577 -- 00:39:33,328

With you I think we tryAir Force.

586

00:
39:35,998 -- 00:39:37,332

Where you goin'?

587

00:
39:37,375 -- 00:39:38,458

Aspirin.

588

00:
39:47,802 -- 00:39:49,636

What's next, Major B*tch?

589

00:
39:59,438 -- 00:40:00,688

That's not bad.

590

00:
40:02,316 -- 00:40:03,650

Don't stop!

591

00:
40:03,692 -- 00:40:04,692

You said a mile.

592

00:
40:04,735 -- 00:40:06,444

Yeah, but we gotta

time you for three.

593

00:
40:06,487 -- 00:40:08,363

Keep goin'!

Go, go, go!

594

00:
40:08,406 -- 00:40:10,490

Move! Go!

595

00:
40:10,533 -- 00:40:12,325

Come on, love it, do it...

596

00:
40:13,244 -- 00:40:14,994

Just go until your body stops.

597

00:
40:15,037 -- 00:40:16,454

Don't listen to your mind.

598

00:
40:16,497 -- 00:40:17,497

Good.

599

00:
40:18,249 -- 00:40:20,708

Come on, stay up there, stay.

Come on, come on!

600

00:
40:22,211 -- 00:40:24,879

Well, you didn't pass the

minimum physical requirements,

601

00:
40:24,922 -- 00:40:26,965

but you did better

than I thought you would.

602

00:
40:27,007 -- 00:40:28,341

Really?

603

00:
40:28,384 -- 00:40:29,384

Rule number one...

604

00:
40:29,427 -- 00:40:31,094

Never smile within sight

of your drill Instructor.

605

00:
40:31,137 -- 00:40:33,221

You have no right looking

happy in boot camp.

606

00:
40:33,264 -- 00:40:35,723

and if you do look happy,

they'll remedy the situation.

607

00:
40:37,935 -- 00:40:41,312

Used to be a beauty queen...

608

00:
40:41,355 -- 00:40:43,523

Now I got my M-16...

609

00:
40:48,779 -- 00:40:52,407

They're gonna hound you all day,

make you make mistakes.

610

00:
40:52,450 -- 00:40:53,867

You're gonna feel

worthless sometimes,

611

00:
40:53,909 -- 00:40:55,535

but that's the

enemy you fight.

612

00:
40:55,578 -- 00:40:57,287

You're not worthless,

you're just learning.

613

00:
40:57,955 -- 00:40:59,247

You OK?

614

00:
41:00,040 -- 00:41:01,916

Get some rest,

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

615

00:
41:09,717 -- 00:41:11,259

- Leo.

- Saff.

616

00:
41:15,556 -- 00:41:17,432

What happened to your face?

617

00:
41:17,475 -- 00:41:19,809

Managed to get hit

with a razor this time.

618

00:
41:21,812 -- 00:41:23,730

What are you doing with her?

619

00:
41:23,772 -- 00:41:25,607

Little project.

620

00:
41:27,151 -- 00:41:30,445

Well, I came over

to offer another apology

621

00:
41:30,488 -- 00:41:33,281

over the idiocy

that happened the other night.

622

00:
41:33,324 -- 00:41:35,116

This is the idiot maker.

623

00:
41:35,159 -- 00:41:36,951

How 'bout some coffee?

624

00:
41:36,994 -- 00:41:39,120

- If you say so.

- C'mon.

625

00:
41:42,958 -- 00:41:44,876

What?

626

00:
41:44,919 -- 00:41:48,671

Just...memories.

627

00:
41:48,714 -- 00:41:51,758

I got a shoebox full of those.

C'mon.

628

00:
42:09,026 -- 00:42:10,818

Hey, you wanna ride?

629

00:
42:10,861 -- 00:42:12,862

No, thanks.

Just go on.
