An Officer and a Gentleman Page #6

I come here once in a while.

I'm sorry I didn't call you

this weekend.

This week has been unbelievable.

It's OK.

How did the survival training go?

- I survived.

- You survived. Obviously.

How was your week?

It was good.

I'm getting a raise

beginning of next month.

That's great.

You're graduating in a couple weeks?

Yeah.

I'm starting to believe I'll make it.

You'll make it.

I told you -

you saw it, and it happened.

Yeah, you told me.

I got to go, I have a date. So...

Look, there's something I wanted...

What?

I...I wanted to thank you.

I wouldn't have made it

through this crazy thing

if I didn't have something

to look forward to.

Don't thank me for nothing.

I had a good time.

Good luck in Pensacola

with your flight training, and...

Get jets, huh?

I'll see you, Zack.

Give me another one.

In fact, give me the bottle.

Come here, baby doll.

Come here.

Come over here.

Sit down for a second.

I'll tell you something.

Had to have one more taste.

This stuff come in anything

besides strawberry?

I'll bring some coconut next time.

Sid...I've really got to go.

Shouldn't you have

got your period by now?

I'm a little late, that's all.

How late are you?

Why? What's the difference?

If anything happened,

it would be my responsibility.

Now, just exactly how late are you?

What do you care?

Suppose I was to get pregnant.

Just suppose. I'd never make you do

something you didn't want to do.

I know.

But that's not the only issue here.

There's more to it than that.

What other issue is there, Sid?

My responsibility as its father,

for one thing.

If I've got you pregnant,

I'll do the right thing by you.

I'll pay for the abortion,

be with you through it, comfort you.

We'd go through it together.

So how late are you?

Let's just wait

and see what happens, OK?

See you later.

I'll call you.

F***!

Last chance for the record!

Go!

This is it, Mayonnaise. Go!

Come on!

Go for it, Mayo!

Go get it! You got it!

Go, Mayo! Push it!

Put your name on that wall!

Mike, let's catch that animal!

Let's do this together, Seeger.

- Come on, Seeger.

- Forget it, just go for the record.

Come on! You got it!

Come on, man!

Hey! Where you going?

- Seeger, get up.

- Forget it.

You want jets? Then get up!

You're going over! Right here!

Three steps. Right, left, right.

Hand over hand. Walk the wall.

- Come on, Seeger.

- Ready? Let's go!

Left, right, pull!

Walk that wall, Seeger! Walk it!

Hand over hand!

Hand over hand! Walk it! Walk it!

Walk the wall! Seeger! Seeger, walk!

Seeger!

Don't you let go! You walk that wall!

Pull! Pull! Pull, Candidate Seeger!

Pull! One leg! You got it!

Pull over! Pull over!

Pull yourself over! All right!

Where's Sid?

What makes you think she's not lying?

She went to a doctor. She's pregnant.

So get an abortion.

I'd love to, believe me.

She won't even talk about it.

She's Catholic.

You're not marrying this girl.

If I don't, she'll have the baby

on her own somewhere.

Women do it all the time.

I can't let her have a kid

by herself. It's my kid, too.

You sure?

It's mine.

I'm sorry, all right?

What if Foley was right?

She got knocked up to trap you.

Is it still your responsibility?

That's not the point.

No matter how it happened,

the child would still be mine.

I wouldn't know

where it was or nothing.

Jesus Christ!

Is everything your responsibility?

Sit. Adjust. Pray. Attack.

It's like your brother

getting killed.

It's the same damn thing -

him getting killed instead of you.

That's why you promised

to marry Susan.

You do everything

out of some bullshit code of ethics.

It may be bullshit to you,

but I wasn't raised that way!

We're responsible

for the people in our lives.

That's all that separates us

from the animals!

I'm not like you, Mayo.

I can't sh*t on people

and sleep at night.

I say you're responsible

to yourself first.

If you can't handle that,

you got bigger problems

than making some girl pregnant!

Gentlemen, relax.

Without an oxygen mask

at 30,000 feet,

your insides will feel

like this rubber glove.

Your coordination deteriorates.

Even the most childlike exercises

seem impossible.

Look for the warning signs...

giddiness, shortness of breath,

claustrophobia.

They can hit you at any moment.

The instant you feel yourself

losing control, go back on oxygen.

That's the purpose of this drill.

Does everyone understand

the exercises?

OK, everybody set?

Let's see a thumbs up, please.

Very good. Everybody remove

your mask, please.

All right. Begin the exercises now.

Queen of diamonds.

Nine of diamonds.

If you have any problems,

put your mask on.

If you can't, raise your hand,

and the corpsman will assist you.

How you doing, Mayo and Seeger?

Having a little trouble?

Concentrate.

Try to make your palms meet.

Ace of spades.

How you doing down there, Worley?

Worley, are you all right?

- Worley, can you hear me?

- Ace of spades.

Worley, put your mask back on,

please.

Put your mask back on!

- Sid, you OK?

- Sid!

I got to get out.

Worley, sit down.

Corpsman, we got a problem.

I got to get out of here!

Corpsman, get that mask on.

It's all right.

Get out of here!

It's all right. Breathe! Breathe!

Mayo, they're watching!

We're going

to stabilize the pressure.

It's OK. All right. Everything's OK.

Everybody's watching you. Hold on.

We'll stabilize the pressure now.

Man the doors. One minute.

Stay where you are.

Leave your masks on!

- He's got it.

- He's fine.

He's OK. No problem. He's OK.

Colours!

Secure the halyard!

Charlie, take care of that.

What's going on?

You didn't kick him out?

Did he tell you what

he's been going through?

It doesn't matter.

What does matter is that

he freaked out at 25,000 feet.

That can't happen ever.

He's got a girl who's pregnant.

That don't matter.

Don't matter?

You've got two weeks left!

That can happen to you,

too, Mayonnaise.

He ain't bullshitting you, buddy.

I'm talking to you, motherf***er!

Don't f*** for you!

What did you call me?

I thought the DI's

were supposed to help.

What kind of a human being are you?

Lock it up or you'll go with him.

Go back to the barracks. Please?

I don't get this.

He's the best candidate in the class!

The best student, the best leader...

the best friend to everybody.

Can't you bend your goddamn rules?

He didn't ask me to DOR.

I went to him.

What are you talking about?

I'm glad it's over.

I was here for everybody but me.

I was here for my big brother.

Hey, buddy.

Sid, wait a minute. Sid!

Request permission to carry on...

Sir!

Get the f*** out of here.

- Yes, sir. Keep the change.

- Thanks, pal.

Lynette!

- Hi, baby.

- Hi, Sid.

Come here a minute.

What are you doing out of uniform?

- I got something.

- Wait. I look a mess.

All right, then.

If you don't want it...

All right. What?

- Well, if you don't want it.

- What?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. It's beautiful!

It cost my savings,
