An Officer and a Gentleman Page #4

Very hard!

You're getting feisty on me,

you little polack.

You cocky polack!

What do you do with a girl

when you're through with her?

You say something or just disappear?

I never had a girl.

I forgot to thank you for breakfast.

Any time, sailor.

Heads up, Perryman.

When you hit the water,

you might get the wind

knocked out of you. Don't panic.

You've got a second and a half

before the cage is completely

underwater and upside down.

Go, Joe!

Now, the most important thing

is to watch your bubbles.

When that cage flips upside down,

you'll be disoriented.

You won't know what your bearings

are, like Perryman down there.

The bubbles determine

which way is up.

All right, time's up.

Go down for him.

This is what happens if you panic.

You can die there,

and this is a pool.

Out in the pacific, you won't

have a frogman to save your ass.

Totally unsatisfactory, Perryman.

Do it again.

Two more chances to make it,

or you're out.

All right. Next!

Hold it. Change in order.

Mayo...since you're hotshot

of the week, you're next.

Aye, aye, sir.

- Seeger, you're behind him.

- Yes, sir.

You ought to be good at this, Mayo.

Something you can do alone.

Take him up!

You never know

when you'll trip up, Mayo.

It could be some character flaw

that comes out under stress.

Let's go, Joe!

All right! Way to go!

OK, Seeger. You're next.

All right, Seeger, let's go.

Get a move on.

Joe, take her up!

Don't you cry, sugar britches!

Go, Joe!

All right, Seeger!

All right.

Gosh, that was great!

Think they'd let us do it again?

Not bad, Seeger. But you still

got to get over that wall.

Next!

Daniels, move it.

It's just a joy ride.

Does this hit with a plane's impact?

It's nothing compared to a plane.

Don't forget to watch the bubbles.

Take him up!

All right, Daniels.

Let's have that thumbs up.

Come on. Where's the thumbs up at?

All right. Go, Joe!

Take it easy.

Pull it up!

Can't get it!

It's gonna take a couple of seconds.

Let me through!

Grab him!

All right. Pull him out!

Hold him!

Put him on his stomach!

Take his helmet off!

- God damn!

- Get it off.

Christ! He killed himself.

Somebody get me a corpsman.

On the double!

Yes, sir!

OK, everybody just stand back.

Come on, Topper.

- God!

- Come on.

Come on, buddy.

Come on, man.

Come on, Topper.

Come on. Come on.

Breathe in.

Hey!

All right.

All right!

All right.

That corpsman on the way?

Stand back. Give him room. Get back.

Somebody go check on that corpsman.

He'll be all right. Take it easy.

Prepare for inspection!

Sh*t.

I am not going to make it.

Help me out, Sid.

- Got a spare?

- My spare sucks.

You know where the hardware store is.

Zack, I need a buckle, man.

I can't risk it.

You got time. He's with the girls.

Can't do it.

I got to see my family.

I've got to get out this weekend.

Wouldn't want you to get

an honor violation, Perryman.

OK.

Attention on deck!

In every class, there's one joker

who thinks he's smarter than me.

In this class, that happens

to be you...isn't it, Mayonnaise?

Perryman, Worley...

let us have this room.

On the double.

- Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

- Stow it.

Mayo...

I want you DOR.

No, sir.

You can kick me out,

I ain't quitting.

Get into your fatigues, Mayo.

By the end of this weekend,

you'll quit.

Casey Jones was a son of a b*tch!

Drove his train in a 30-foot ditch!

Came on out with his dick in his hand

Said, "Listen, ladies,

I'm a hell of a man."

Went to his room and lined up 100.

Swore up and down

he'd f*** every one.

F***ed 98

till his balls turned blue.

Then he backed off, jacked off,

and f***ed the other two!

Wave goodbye to your buddies.

I forgot. You don't have buddies.

Only customers.

You having fun, Mayonnaise?

Yes, sir!

- Don't hear you!

- Yes, sir!

All right!

Get your face

all the way down in there!

- Ready to quit now, Mayo?

- No, sir!

Look over there, Mayo.

Look at her.

She decided to stay instead

of taking liberty this weekend.

She may not make it, but

she's got more heart and character

than you'll ever have!

And stop eyeballing me, boy!

Life's dealt you some shitty

cards, hasn't it?

I'm doing all right, sir!

Bullshit. I done some checking.

I looked through your files.

I know about your mama.

Don't you eyeball me.

I know your father's an alcoholic

and a whore chaser.

That's why you don't mesh, Mayo.

Because deep down...

Don't you eyeball me, boy!

Deep down inside...

you know the others

are better than you!

Isn't that right, Mayo?

No, sir! No, sir!

What's the matter? You getting tired?

I'm not tired.

Move it, boy!

This is where the fun starts!

Move it!

You got all day tomorrow

to look forward to!

Give me 6 to 90.

Hey, Mayo, why don't we quit

this little charade

over a couple of beers at TJ's?

You're as close

to being officer material as me.

This candidate believes

he would make a good officer!

You only give a sh*t about yourself.

All your classmates know it.

Do you think they would trust you

behind the controls of a plane?

You'd probably zipp off in my F-14

and sell it to the Cubans.

No, sir! No, sir! I love my country.

Sell it to the air force, Mayo.

Why would a slick hustler like you

sign up for this abuse?

I want to fly jets.

My grandmama wants to fly jets.

I've always wanted it!

We're not talking about flying.

We're talking about character.

I've changed, sir.

- The hell you have.

- I've changed, sir!

You've just polished your act.

You've shined it up!

Tell me what I want to hear.

I want your DOR.

I ain't going to quit.

- Spell it! D-O-R.

- I ain't gonna quit!

Then you and your daddy can get drunk

and go whore-chasing together!

No, sir! I ain't going to quit!

Then forget it. You're out!

Don't you do it!

Don't...you...

I got nowhere else to go!

I got nowhere else to go!

I ain't got nothing else.

I got nothing else.

All right, Mayo. On your feet.

Come on, Mayo,

let's get back to the barracks.

Hey, Foley!

Zack, don't give up!

You got that queer on the run!

Kiss this, Foley!

Hang in there, Zack!

Remember the Tide's ln.

Those friends of yours?

- Don't give up, Mayo!

- Yes, sir.

We're with you, Zack!

Zack, you can make it!

You got some urinals to clean.

Move out.

Hey, Foley's queer!

He got his balls shot off in the war!

You're still here, Mayo?

- Sid.

- Yeah?

Thanks.

Sid.

Look at that.

That son of a b*tch.

Want me to get a towel?

I'll get one.

I don't want you to move.

Somebody's got to move sometime...

eventually.

"They found them there weeks later,

"shriveled from lack

of food and water."

Bye, Zachary.

I laughed all week, thinking

about you guys on that boat.

We were so drunk.

Pretty sharp, Paula. Pretty sharp.

I'd love to be one of those girls

they're letting in

the flight program.

It would be a gas to fly.

What's stopping you?

You know what those magazines say.

It's just...

I don't know.

It's not so easy for a girl.

That's still no excuse
