from now on, sunshine.

And that's your ticket home.

"D"! What are you still doing in my

line trying to make this team?

Everybody knows black guys don't swim.

It's all right, sir. I'm not black!

- No?

- No, I'm the new black.

We run slow, we jump low, we swim good

and we shop at Gap.

And I make the white folk proud

when I hose down their ladies.

I dick them down!

Chicken!

There it is.

That is a quitter.

You say goodbye, I say good riddance.

He quits on you here,

he gonna quit in the field of battle.

When sh*t gets hairy, he won't step up.

Your ass gets shot, he won't pull you out.

Six.

I'm looking for warriors!

- Seven.

- Keep counting!

- Eight!

- I can't hear you!

Nine!

Want me to call your mama?

Maybe she can come and take your place!

This is foreplay!

I'm about to turn on some Marvin Gaye

and get in that ass!

That's what I'm talking about!

Squirrel, Squirrel, Squirrel,

where the f*** are your nuts?

Oh, they're gone for good, sir.

They crawled back up inside.

But they are warm!

Big talk from a little man!

Now, you.

How about you, old man? Huh?

How you feeling?

Hooyah! Dangerous. Feeling dangerous.

Hooyah! Kyle's feeling dangerous!

Move!

Take seats!

Yeah! 56 degrees! So fresh, so clean!

Here she comes!

Mother Nature's got something for you!

Only a few more hours

and you're Navy SEALs!

Grease gun, dive knife by my side

TONY".

These are the tools that'll make a man die

These are the tools that'll make a man die

I'm the only one who's hit one, so...

Boom!

Oh, yeah! Chris, your turn, man.

- You got one more.

I got one more? All right.

All right. One more. Here we go.

Hey, we want a smaller target

we'll use your arm, man.

Hello.

Hi.

How you doing?

Good. Thank you.

Can I get you a drink?

Will a drink make you

six inches taller and charming?

Will it make you not married?

I'm not ma-

Yeah, I just watched you

take your ring off, okay?

Don't be a scumbag. Go home.

Oh, my God.

It may have been the leather pants.

Oh, yeah?

What kind of pants does a girl

have to wear to be left alone?

Well, maybe corduroy.

I mean, is that how it is with you guys?

You're suddenly single after three beers?

Oh, no, after three beers

all I know is to get a fourth.

That's great. That's great.

Real redneck.

- Oh, I'm not a redneck, I'm from Texas.

- Mm.

What's the difference?

Well, we ride horses...

...and they ride their cousins.

What do you do for work?

You're obviously military.

Oh, uh, I polish dolphins.

They're in captivity.

What I do is just sort of scrape off

the crustaceans-

Do I look stupid to you?

No, honestly, you look a little sad.

Am I tall enough to buy you a drink?

Not until you tell me what you do.

Okay, how about this. Hey, Greg?

Get two shots?

How about we do a shot for a question.

Every time you ask me a question

that I answer, do a shot.

- Same, vice versa.

- Game on.

You can leave the bottle too.

Okay, shoot.

All right. Ahem.

You're obviously military.

What branch?

I just finished BUD/S,

heading to sniper school.

Are you kidding me? You're a SEAL?

Yes, ma'am.

That's two questions.

- Sh*t.

- Ha, ha.

Really?

Oh, I didn't really mean

you had to do that. Heh.

Okay. Sh*t.

I know all about you guys.

My sister was engaged to a SEAL.

- Oh, was she?

- Yeah.

- Mm.

- Mm-hm.

Hold on, how you know all about us?

What do you mean?

What I mean is, you're a bunch

of arrogant, self-centered pricks...

...who think you can lie and cheat

and do whatever the f*** you want.

I'd never date a SEAL.

Wait, why would you say I'm self-centered?

I'd lay down my life for my country.

Why?

It's the greatest country on Earth.

I'd do everything I can to protect it.

Look, I'm sorry what happened

to your sister, but that's not me.

It's nice to meet you.

Where you going?

Just gonna go home because

you said you wouldn't date a SEAL, so...

I said I'd never marry one.

Oh. Okay. Well, then, maybe, hello.

Nice to meet you.

- What's your name?

- Taya.

Taya.

Chris. I'm Chris Kyle.

Nice to meet you.

Pleasure.

I mean, it's pretty egotistical of you to

think you can protect us all. Isn't it, Chris?

Well, our BUD/S office commander said

that it's three-

0K8)'-

He said there's three things we gotta

worry about:
ego, booze and women.

Well...

...it sounds like you're under attack.

You're pretty.

You're so beautiful.

HeY- I got you.

I'm not going home with you,

so don't even think about it.

Feel breath filling every cell in your body.

This is our ritual.

We master our breath,

we master our mind.

Pulling the trigger

will become an unconscious effort.

You will be aware of it,

but not directing it.

And as you exhale,

find your natural respiratory pause...

...and the space between heartbeats.

Hey, this is Taya. [can't get to the phone.

- Leave a message. I'll call you back.

Hey, it's me again.

That guy whose shoes you puked on.

So, yeah, I was thinking maybe

you didn't get that last message?

The last message I left

or the one before that?

- So I figured that-

- You figured what?

Hey. How are you? How you been?

Good.

Good. Wow, what are you up to?

Not a lot. You?

No, just excited to talk to you.

Aim small, miss small.

If you aim for a shirt button,

you might miss by two inches.

If you aim for a shirt,

you might miss by two feet.

You better close those groupings, Kyle.

Yes, sir.

Come on. Whoo!

Not bad.

- What do we get for that?

Top shelf.

I like that one. The brown one.

- Here you go.

- Great.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, sir. Have a good day.

Hello.

Good. That looks good on you.

So did you always want to be a soldier?

Oh. Uh, no, I wanted to be a cowboy, but...

I don't know. I did that.

I thought I was meant for something more.

So you started rescuing girls from bars?

- I think I rescued that bar from you.

- Ha, ha.

You like country music?

Only when I'm depressed.

How about kids. You want kids?

Yeah, someday.

My mom says I have a nose

for picking the wrong men.

Well, that's a shitty thing to say to a girl.

Well, I've proven her right.

Them wrong picks put you here...

...made you who you are.

I like who you are.

You ever think about what happens when

there's a real person on the end of that gun?

I don't know. I just hope

I can do my job when that day comes.

Are we looking at the same target?

You're spitting dust.

And don't worry. We can always use

corpsmen for the guys who can't shoot.

Oh, f***.

You're trembling.

I know it.

- We don't have to do this.

- No, I want to. I do.

- Yeah?

- You just feel real and it scares me.

You got your off-eye shut?

Well, if I close my off-eye

then I can't see what's out there.

- There's nothing out there but the target.

- Negative, sir. There is something out there.

Punch it.

Will pushups help?

Give me 50, Kyle. Clear and safe.

I'm better when it's breathing.

Oh, my God. Chris.

- What's wrong?

- No!

Here's the tape.

You see the first plane coming in
