American Sniper Page #9

I took my hand off...

...grabbed a cigarette,

stuck it in my mouth.

When I went to go light it,

the explosion happened.

And it took the whole bottom of the

steering wheel and my left hand off.

And I was lucky that I had this.

I mean, it still f***ed up my right hand,

but...

Yeah.

- I still got it.

And you still smoke?

Yeah, I still smoke.

Miss. Three inches to the right.

Come on, Wynn.

You can do better than that.

Bring this to the right.

Make sure you keep both eyes open.

Let that trigger surprise you.

We're not shooting bad guys,

we're shooting paper.

How about the Legend stops

trying to f*** up my shot?

How about you hit one?

- Hit!

There you go.

Bull's-eye, boy.

Damn, if that don't feel like

I got my balls back.

Why you spending

all this time with us, man?

I know you got a family.

I heard you had a boot collection

before the war?

I saw we were about the same size.

Seriously, man.

Why do you do it?

Well, we take care of each other, right?

Let's see if you can't hit two in a row.

Come on, man. You got this.

- Hit!

- Nice.

- Hit!

- Whoo!

Goddamn.

Who's the legend now?

That's a title you don't want.

Trust me.

Yo, will you hop down?

I'll give them to you.

- You got one more?

- Yeah.

- All right, take them inside.

- All right.

Come here. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

It's not a bad life out here, is it?

Got a smile on his face.

Looks cheery to me.

Just doing his thing.

Wave goodbye to him.

Oh! F***, who is that?!

Oh, babe, is that you?

Yep-a-doo-dew.!

Baby, I f***ing hurt myself. Sh*t.

- What?

- No, I'm all right. I'm all right!

I'm all right. F***.

- Baby, I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

What happened?

Don't you-! Ooh!

You know that it's a heck of thing

to stop a beating heart.

Yeah.

That's why we're gonna do it together

for your first time.

All right.

Now remember, you gotta be calm...

...confident...

...and you never hesitate.

All right.

- You got it, bubba?

- I got it.

- You feel good?

- Yeah.

- Shh.

- Shh.

Hands in the air, little lady.

- No way.

- Hands in the air.

Now, you drop them drawers.

But you drop them nice and easy.

Oh, baby, look at you.

Look at you.

Look at you.

Can I tell you something, Chris?

- Tell it to the judge.

- Stop it.

No, I am so proud of you,

and I don't tell you enough.

I'm so proud of you.

You're such a great father.

And I am so happy

that I've got my husband back.

And I also know how hard you fought

to get here.

You're worth fighting for.

Now tell me one other thing.

- Did you pleat those jeans?

- Hm?

Yes, ma'am.

I believe they're right down the middle.

- Oh, you're just a regular, old cowboy again.

- Mm-hm. That's right. And-

- Why don't you really drop them drawers.

- I'm not wearing any drawers, baby.

I got four minutes.

Ha-ha-ha. Is that all it takes?

No, it takes two minutes.

But then I want two minutes to look at you.

Aren't you going to the range?

Who are you taking out?

This Marine.

His mama kept asking me.

She parks cars at the elementary school,

and she said, "Can you help out my son?"

And I just thought today's the only day

I can really do it, so...

It'll be just a bit of the afternoon.

I'll be back.

Yes! Ha-ha-ha.

Make sure you keep them drawers-

What's up?

- Dad, you wanna play "Skylanders"?

- No, I can't play right now.

I'll do it when I get back, boy.

See you're on Level 8, and that

doesn't work. I gotta be on Level 4.

I wanna win. You gotta let me win.

No way!

McKENNA:
Poke the bear!

- Poke the what?

- Poke the bear!

- Poke the what?!

Poke the bear!

- No! You're supposed to roar, like, grr!

- Like what?

- Grr!

- Like a beast, right? Like what?

Ooh. All right, bubba.

- Y'all look after our women, okay?

- Yeah.

Okay. It's a big responsibility.

You up for it?

All right. See you later, baby.

- I love you.

- Love you back.

How are you? You good?

- Good.

We're gonna go about a two-hour drive...

...shoot some guns, maybe have

a little conversation along the way.

All right. Let's go.

Thank you.
