In Country

Left, Left, two, three, four.

Left.

Halt!

Left face!

Ground your gear.

Gentlemen you depart today

to fight the forces of Godless communism

You men have been chosen to be the leaders

in the fight that will never be forgotten.

You are chosen. Chosen because you are the best.

Because you are the meanest.

Because you are the hardest, fastest, toughest

sons of b*tches in the world.

And the Viet-Kong is going to learn to respect you

or he's going to die.

You are going to make him die

until he gives you that respect.

The Viet-Kong is never going to forget you.

America is never going to forget you.

God bless you.

I love you.

America loves you.

You are the best.

You are the chosen.

Good luck and go with God.

Where the f*** are we?

Blue Velvet, Blue Velvet this is night cross.

Cold LZ. Request medic.

Coordinates nine, five, six...

Take cover!

Let's get the f*** out of here.

It's going to take courage.

Courage to face the legions of Godless Communism

Wherever they may be.

America used to be God's light on this Earth.

America was the world's good samaritan .

And there was no place on the globe / i

that American couldn't walk tall

proud, respected, and safe.

But along the way

our world has fallen.

and our dreams have vanished.

And we forgot our place in God's plans

for America.

Things need to be changed.

Changed for the better.

And it's up to you,

the youth of America.

I congratulate you on the achievement

of graduation from high school.

May God bless every one of you,

because you are the future of America.

Congratulations to Hopewell High's class of 1989.

Good luck.

and may y'all find your heart's desires.

over Libertyville with all those jump shots?

Hi.

Hi Belinda!

Hi.

Lonnie says his dad told him

that they're hiring at the tire plant.

F*** the tire plant.

Marlene Good morning.

You know what I want.

F*** the tire plant by all means.

Marlene, jelly donuts and

diet coke please!

Morning Emmett.

Okay, honey.

You let her use that kind of language

around you at home Emmett?

On the HBO.

You let her watch HBO?

Hell, I don't let me wife watch HBO.

You mind if I sit next to you Sam?

I swear I ain't smelled nothing sweet in weeks

.

You can if you show me your tattoo.

Emmett, you dog.

You told her my dark secret.

Why I tell ya.

You come on out to my truck and I'll show ya.

I wonder if anybody ever tattooed his own face

on his chest like a face on a T-shirt?

Why would anybody want do that?

Well so when you get older

people could see how you started out.

That could be a lot to live with.

Emmett, what is your long-legged little niece doing here?

What's her problem?

Morning Earl.

I hear they're hiring at the tire plant Emmett.

F*** the tire plant!!!

Buddy Mangrum ain't coming.

His little girl taken sick again.

Eggs over easy Marlene. Bacon and

lot of coffee hon.

OK.

Her guts are all twisted around on itself.

He blames agent orange.

He blames everything on agent orange.

It wasn't no big deal.

Did you get sprayed with agent orange over there Emmett?

Why? Is there something wrong with Emmett?

Yes. He get's these headaches and he can't sleep.

Look, he got this rash here...

Hey!

Emmett don't be macho and pretend.

Well you know I had a place come up on my leg

all kind of brown and funny.

Kinda like a bruise on a banana.

But then it just went away.

You don't reccon that it ate clear down to my bone do ya?

Nothing gonna hurt you, Pete.

You're like that guy on TV that ate a bicycle.

Oh that was on That's Incredible.

I saw that.

It's didn't hurt him much.

He was going to go up to Canada and eat a helicopter.

If I had a car I'd drive Emmett on down to the VA hospital

and get him checked out.

I got a car I'll sell ya.

Really?

A VW Bug. I'll fix it up real good. 600 bucks.

That's what I've got in it.

I don't know where I can round up that much cash.

Do you want a car?

I'll show you a car.

Look at this man!

Wow! Jeez!

You see that little thing there

that looks like a lady bug?

Uh ha. That's my old Corvette.

My wife sold it while I was gone.

Thing would be a classic now.

You got that right.

That's my house.

That there's my street. This is the county.

I think this could be the stupidest thing

I ever did in my life.

Nobody can eat a helicopter.

You don't know how to lie.

Hey, man.

Keep it long to the left.

Ride this bucko.

Think about that VW Sam.

Come on over and take a test drive

and teach me how to lie.

See y'all later.

See ya.

Sam now you come by any time you want.

I got tattoos in places you never even dreamed of.

Is that true what you told me about Pete

chasing his wife with a shotgun?

No, was her chased him.

Why?

Why?

Why does everything always have to have a reason Sam?

Because it does.

Some things don't.

Well things just are.

You can't do nothing about them.

I don't accept that.

Oh, you don't accept that.

No.

I see. What's your plan to deal with gravity?

Do you accept it?

How come all of a sudden
