00:
42:28,796 -- 00:42:30,588

Don't slam the door.

631

00:
42:34,927 -- 00:42:36,427

Food's on the counter.

632

00:
42:46,105 -- 00:42:49,274

I spoke to your mother.

633

00:
42:49,316 -- 00:42:55,613

She said don't worry,

everyone is just fine.

634

00:
42:58,576 -- 00:43:01,828

Said to make sure

I told you that.

635

00:
43:13,424 -- 00:43:15,174

Do you hear me?

636

00:
43:15,217 -- 00:43:16,467

Yes.

637

00:
43:37,281 -- 00:43:39,240

Saffron...

638

00:
43:39,283 -- 00:43:41,367

Don't worry.

639

00:
43:41,410 -- 00:43:44,579

Everyone is gonna be just fine.

640

00:
43:44,622 -- 00:43:49,792

Help is comin'...

641

00:
43:49,835 -- 00:43:52,795

Help is...

642

00:
44:33,671 -- 00:44:36,005

There's no bikes in boot camp!

643

00:
44:36,965 -- 00:44:39,425

Come on!

My legs are toast!

644

00:
44:39,468 -- 00:44:41,636

You will fall down,

but you will get up.

645

00:
44:41,679 -- 00:44:43,971

You will be pushed beyond

your limits, but you will comply

646

00:
44:44,014 -- 00:44:46,641

because you have no idea

what your limits are.

647

00:
44:46,684 -- 00:44:47,892

I'm at my limit.

648

00:
44:47,935 -- 00:44:49,977

- Are you gonna puke?

- No!

649

00:
44:50,020 -- 00:44:51,979

Then you're nowhere

near your limit.

650

00:
44:52,398 -- 00:44:55,108

Come on, keep moving.

Let's go!

651

00:
44:55,150 -- 00:44:57,902

- I can't...

- Can't? That's not a word.

652

00:
44:57,945 -- 00:44:58,903

Seriously...

653

00:
44:58,946 -- 00:45:01,030

Seriously, I will go full

Drill Instructor on you.

654

00:
45:01,073 -- 00:45:02,156

Oh, no, please don't.

655

00:
45:02,199 -- 00:45:04,659

Then block the mind chatter.

This is about willpower now.

656

00:
45:04,702 -- 00:45:06,160

Are you listening?

657

00:
45:06,203 -- 00:45:07,912

- Ears!

- Open, ma'am.

658

00:
45:07,955 -- 00:45:09,914

Then take your eyes,

put them on the horizon

659

00:
45:09,957 -- 00:45:11,249

and go there!

660

00:
45:15,713 -- 00:45:17,755

Outstanding!

661

00:
45:17,798 -- 00:45:20,591

You have been a zombie maggot

your entire life,

662

00:
45:20,634 -- 00:45:23,678

and now thanks to your country

you're starting to wake up.

663

00:
45:23,721 -- 00:45:26,013

- Say thank you!

- Ma'am, thank you, ma'am.

664

00:
45:26,056 -- 00:45:28,891

That's right!

Ma'am, thank you, Ma'am.

665

00:
45:29,560 -- 00:45:31,352

Don't let me

get ahead of you.

666

00:
45:31,395 -- 00:45:33,688

Stay in front of me

or I will own this bike.

667

00:
45:34,440 -- 00:45:36,399

This bike is mine!

668

00:
45:44,950 -- 00:45:46,909

OK, I surrender.

669

00:
45:47,578 -- 00:45:48,911

Can you swim?

670

00:
45:48,954 -- 00:45:50,788

Captain of the swim team

in high school.

671

00:
45:50,831 -- 00:45:52,999

Maybe we'll ship you

off to the Navy.

672

00:
45:58,756 -- 00:46:02,216

So...

You're friends with Leo?

673

00:
46:02,259 -- 00:46:03,801

Yeah.

674

00:
46:03,844 -- 00:46:05,720

Uh huh.

675

00:
46:05,763 -- 00:46:07,305

Old boyfriend?

676

00:
46:07,347 -- 00:46:08,931

High school.

677

00:
46:10,309 -- 00:46:11,851

He shaved for you.

678

00:
46:15,439 -- 00:46:16,773

Right.

679

00:
46:20,277 -- 00:46:22,111

Is Burner your boyfriend?

680

00:
46:23,572 -- 00:46:25,406

I guess he was.

681

00:
46:25,449 -- 00:46:27,325

They're all just boys, you know.

682

00:
46:27,367 -- 00:46:28,743

I don't know what they're doin'

683

00:
46:28,786 -- 00:46:31,621

and I don't wanna take

the time to figure it out.

684

00:
46:31,663 -- 00:46:33,998

I just want a little

squeeze here,

685

00:
46:34,041 -- 00:46:35,917

a little massage there,

686

00:
46:35,959 -- 00:46:37,710

a little exploration.

687

00:
46:37,753 -- 00:46:39,378

Not all thatjack-hammerin'!

688

00:
46:40,047 -- 00:46:41,631

Is that too much to ask?

689

00:
47:02,694 -- 00:47:04,028

[doorbell rings]

690

00:
47:06,490 -- 00:47:08,074

Ahhh!

691

00:
47:08,116 -- 00:47:09,992

And you brought

civilization with you.

692

00:
47:10,035 -- 00:47:11,285

How nice.

693

00:
47:11,995 -- 00:47:14,455

- Should I open it?

- Yes. Quickly.

694

00:
47:14,498 -- 00:47:15,790

I'll get some glasses.

695

00:
47:23,298 -- 00:47:25,258

You seem tense.

What's up?

696

00:
47:27,594 -- 00:47:30,221

I'm standing in your house...

697

00:
47:30,264 -- 00:47:32,723

I got dressed up...

698

00:
47:32,766 -- 00:47:35,476

I brought a gift.

699

00:
47:35,519 -- 00:47:38,104

I hope you don't think

I'm hitting on you.

700

00:
47:40,858 -- 00:47:42,400

Are you?

701

00:
47:43,735 -- 00:47:44,986

No...

702

00:
47:45,028 -- 00:47:46,821

- Aww...

- Oh, God, no.

703

00:
47:46,864 -- 00:47:48,239

Am I?

704

00:
47:48,282 -- 00:47:50,950

Girl, you're a hot mess.

705

00:
47:53,370 -- 00:47:55,329

It's OK to cry.

706

00:
47:55,372 -- 00:47:58,541

Marines don't cry;

their eyeballs sweat.

707

00:
48:08,510 -- 00:48:10,177

Is this a dance club?

708

00:
48:10,220 -- 00:48:11,220

Can be.

709

00:
48:12,222 -- 00:48:13,890

There aren't any men in here.

710

00:
48:13,932 -- 00:48:18,060

I know...

Every night is ladies night.

711

00:
48:18,103 -- 00:48:21,355

- Someone might see us.

- That's the whole idea.

712

00:
48:22,190 -- 00:48:24,191

Let's go!

713

00:
48:24,234 -- 00:48:27,361

You've never been

in a gay bar before.

714

00:
48:27,404 -- 00:48:29,071

Of course not.

715

00:
48:30,490 -- 00:48:34,368

But you've mingled...

with the ladies.

716

00:
48:35,287 -- 00:48:36,370

Tequila!

717

00:
48:36,413 -- 00:48:38,205

Whoa, sailor, relax.

718

00:
48:38,248 -- 00:48:40,207

We're just here

to meet a friend.

719

00:
48:42,419 -- 00:48:44,462

I don't want to meet anybody.

Let's just go.

720

00:
48:44,504 -- 00:48:45,296

Relax.

721

00:
48:45,339 -- 00:48:48,174

It's just someone

I work with at the yoga studio.

722

00:
48:48,216 -- 00:48:49,967

Oh! There she is.

723

00:
48:59,102 -- 00:49:00,686

Then you became a what?

724

00:
49:00,729 -- 00:49:03,397

A Deputy Provost Marshall.

725

00:
49:03,440 -- 00:49:04,982

It's like a cop.

726

00:
49:05,025 -- 00:49:06,567

Oh...

727

00:
49:09,529 -- 00:49:12,365

Iraq is mostly about policing now.

728

00:
49:12,407 -- 00:49:14,909

Seems like they

had you doing a lot.

729

00:
49:14,952 -- 00:49:16,452

A lot of opportunity there.

730

00:
49:17,204 -- 00:49:18,788

You think?

731

00:
49:18,830 -- 00:49:20,081

Two wars.

732

00:
49:22,626 -- 00:49:23,793

I'm sorry.

733

00:
49:23,835 -- 00:49:26,253

I gotta come right out

and ask you something.

734

00:
49:26,296 -- 00:49:27,713

What?

735

00:
49:29,466 -- 00:49:31,676

Did you vote for George Bush?

736

00:
49:31,718 -- 00:49:33,094

No.

737

00:
49:33,512 -- 00:49:34,929

Good.

738

00:
49:35,472 -- 00:49:38,224

There's really only

one answer to that question.

739

00:
49:40,310 -- 00:49:42,436

Actually, I don't vote

for presidents.

740

00:
49:43,647 -- 00:49:45,898

The Commander in Chief

is the Commander in Chief.

741

00:
49:45,941 -- 00:49:48,609

I find it's best not to
