Major Movie Star Page #8

---

We should have found our soldier already.

I bet you Jeter has hers ball-gagged by now.

We gotta be, like, three hours

behind everybody else, right?

Yeah, we're gonna have to

haul ass at daylight.

- So we should probably turn it in?

- Yeah.

- Hamamori, first watch? I'll clean up.

- You got it.

Thanks.

- A little help here?

- You're doing okay on your own, Valentine.

How much further?

We're close. I know it.

- There it is!

- Finally.

We should call him Bernie.

Have you seen that movie?

Weekend at Bernie's? I love that movie.

I'll rent it. Let's do this, guys.

We have about two hours

to get Bernie to the hospital.

If we follow these coordinates,

it's at least a five-hour hike.

Then we'll never make it.

- Maybe we can hitch a ride.

- That would disqualify you.

- Can we talk to a civilian?

- As long as you don't touch them.

Hot damn! Megan Valentine.

Hey, I just seen that Rupert & Me.

You owe me eight bucks.

You do a sequel,

little less dog, little more doggie style,

you know what I'm saying?

Good note.

Could you do something for me?

Hot damn, girl.

Would you press that button right there?

- What, that little button right there?

- That little button right there.

- GuideStart. How can I help you?

- I need some direction.

Where do you need to go?

I gotta get this guy Bernie

to the Urban Warfare Center.

Well, hello, Miss Valentine.

Mr. Start? Hi. How are you?

- Pleasant and helpful. How are you?

- I'm good. But I'm lost.

Are you referring to

the Urban Warfare Center at Fort Jackson?

Yeah. That one.

What's the quickest way to get there?

You'll have to double back

and go to the Interstate.

Is there a quicker way to get there?

It's one mile straight through.

- Okay. Army time. Are we tough enough?

- Yes.

- Are we brave enough?

- Yes.

- Are we ready to kick some ass?

- Yes.

- I think I'm gonna throw up.

- You're in the right place for that. Let's go!

Are we dumb enough?

Enemy aggressor at 12 o'clock.

Divert to side entrance.

Oh, man. Jeter.

They've won.

Not yet. We get an hour off per ranger.

Peek-a-boo.

Congratulations, Private Jeter.

You not only won the challenge

but you also won the overnight pass.

You can pass that pass right on over here.

I don't believe it.

By my count, we have beat the Red by an hour and a half.

But you can't count.

She can't count.

Sorry, Jeter.

- Congratulations, Valentine.

- She can't count.

Yes!

- Awesome!

- That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking about.

- Come on.

- Oh, yeah.

Who won? We won. We won.

When each of you arrived here,

you were unshaped, unsure,

but full of potential.

You've been through the fire.

You've come out stronger.

Stronger than you ever imagined.

You're now a soldier

in the United States Army.

Congratulations, Petrovich.

Your brother would be proud.

Thank you, sir.

- Job well done.

- Yes, sir.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you, sir.

- Johnson, good for you.

- Thank you, sir.

Private Valentine.

- I knew you had it in you.

- That's so sweet. Thank you.

Good job.

I can't believe you're leaving

right after graduation.

Me either.

But that's the deal

I made with Captain Greer.

He'd let me finish Basic Training,

then I'd go be with the USO for a year.

Sidney's gonna kill me.

- We're gonna miss you.

- I'm gonna miss you guys.

But there's strong,

and then there's Army strong.

Pass and review.

Forward march! Step, step, step.

Eyes, right!

Basic is over.

You may now greet your families.

You jerk.

Hey! Hey, you guys.

- Thank you so much for coming.

- Well, thanks for inviting us.

All those letters that you wrote

meant so much to the kids.

They meant a lot to me, too.

Jinny, I know it's hard

being my sister sometimes.

And I have a lot of making up to do.

But I want you to know

that my priorities are different now.

- I really miss you.

- I miss you, too.

- Look at you.

- Excuse me.

Hi.

- I just wanted to say, well done, Private.

- Thank you, Private.

- You deserve those stripes back.

- I know.

And that comment

that I made the other day?

About me needing to get laid? I will.

Jeter, can I hug you?

No.

That personal space is reserved.

- Get back on that horse, girl.

- Okay.

- Private Valentine.

- Hey.

It was impressive what you did out there.

It was the whole platoon. We did it together.

No, I mean, coming back and finishing.

That took guts, Private.

Thank you.

That means a lot coming from you.

- USO, huh?

- Yeah. And you?

- Back to screaming about your grandma?

- No.

This is my last cycle here.

I ship off next week for Iraq.

- Wow.

- Tell me about it.

So, does this mean

you're not my sergeant anymore?

No, I'm not.

Well, I better get going.

Everybody's waiting.

Hey, Evans.

I expect that back.

Hey!
