Man Down Page #2

What are you talking about?

I see you right there.

Nope, still see you.

Now I can't see you,

but if I can't see you,

you can't see me.

Why is that?

I don't know why is that,

it's just the rules.

What are you learning in school?

You learning fun stuff?

We read, do recess,

listen to music, dance.

Rec... What kind of...?

Dancin' around?

That sounds very

arty-fatty to me, bud.

Speak of the devil...

- Dad!

- Oh, no!

What is that!

You'd better get the window, bud.

- I'm gonna die!

- Oh, no!

Oh, no! Marines, clear out!

Medic, man down!

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Is he responding?

Is he responding?

- He's responding.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay!

- What does that mean?

Responding?

No, "man down."

Man down is a military term.

It's what you say when...

one of your boys goes down

or someone gets hurt, or...

Oh.

Let me take a wild guess

of who that is.

Is that him right there?

I'm gonna come in with you

so they don't mess with you.

- No! Please.

Why?

- It's just...

- What are you embarrassed of me?

I can walk from here, really.

I know you can walk from here.

You're a grown boy.

How'd this start up? You just walked in

one day and they started in on you?

- No.

- What happened?

They heard Mom say "I love you"

when she dropped me off.

She said "I love you" in front

of your friends, huh?

Mm-hmm.

All right, I understand.

It's no good.

- And you told Mom?

- Yeah.

What'd she say?

She said she was gonna

beat the mother up.

She was gonna beat the mothers up?

All right, look.

I'm not mom, but I damn sure

am gonna tell my kid

I love him when he gets

out the car, all right?

So we gotta come up some kind

of little middle ground,

like a secret word or something.

What about "man down"?

- Man down?

- That's pretty good.

- Huh? Yeah.

- Yeah, I like that. Man down.

I like it, too.

It's got the word "man" in it,

damn sure is manly enough.

You know, we'll just sneak it out

anytime we want to say it.

Nobody will know what

we're talking about.

So, anytime I want to say I love you

what am I going to say to you?

- Man down.

- Like that, too,

with that little smirk

on your face.

- Say it again.

- Man down.

Yes, good, man.

All right, get out of here.

Have a good day, bud.

You too.

Drummer.

Yo, Drummer, you copy?

I got a tudy up ahead

approximately 100 yards southeast

of the main courtyard.

Right there.

What the f***?

How long's he been

sitting there? And yourself?

I'm not sure.

Come on, let's go.

What the f***?

Don't move.

Get up. Up. Move.

Down in that corner.

Down. Who are you?

United States Marines. If you

try anything, I take your head off!

- Got that clean'?

- Who are you?

Answer the question.

Who are you?

Charles.

My name is Charles.

Charles? Hey, Charles.

Take a breath. Breathe.

My name's Gabriel.

I'm looking for survivors,

you understand?

Okay, man.

What do you know

about what happened here?

What happened to...?

To who? The world.

How come you weren't affected?

How come you weren't affected?

Oh, please.

How is it the whole world is in sh*t

and you're not affected?

Save your compliments for someone

who'd want to hear them.

- This whole world's f***ed.

- You're alone?

You got survivors with you?

I got my friends.

I got my whole platoon.

Where? Where are thew

- Hey! Stay right there.

- Don't move.

What is it?

You semper fi?

That was a long time ago, buddy.

Whole 'nother world,

but it don't matter none.

They all left us

here in hell to rot.

Who did?

You did.

You.

Look, I've been analyzing

or pontificating

on variations

of this theme for years.

Today I'll state only facts.

There's a mini war

in the Middle East.

Iran will most likely have

a nuclear weapon.

Putin basically running unchecked,

obviously a great cause for concern.

Dude, this little guys gonna

jump out of the f***ing box.

Well, put her down.

Not yet, little buddy.

Did you see this?

I've got some bowls

for water in the truck.

No. Nice present.

Centers for Disease Control...

- He loves it.

- Has downgraded the urgency.

While the term

"weapons of mass destruction"

has become a political taboo,

no one can deny that the CDC,

the Centers for Disease Control,

has been the lead story

more frequently than ever.

Okay, I'm bringing

the birthday boy in, all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

That comes on

again at 11, right?

- All right!

- Come on, pal!

Hey!

Now, what did you want more

than anything in the world, bud?

A year's supply of gummy bears!

- More than gummy bears!

- All right, listen, your dad...

What's that noise?

- That sound like gummy bears?

- No.

What's that noise, bud?

Your daddy and I

talked about all the...

What's that sound like?

What's that sound like? A puppy!

Oh. my gosh!

A puppy! So cute!

- Don't squeeze him too hard.

- Oh, my gosh, thank you.

What do you think?

- He's amazing!

- Oh, he loves him.

Wanna show Luke?

Go show Luke the dog.

- Be careful.

- Go show Luke the dog.

Everyone, look!

It's a puppy!

- He loves it.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

I wouldn't have done

that without you.

Yeah. Be careful!

- Don't tell me I missed that.

- You missed that.

What? He lose his sh*t?

Lost it.

I'm gonna party with him.

There he is.

Okay. You gonna shoot me?

What are you gonna name the dog?

I was thinking Ichabod.

What do you know about dog hats?

What do you know about dog hats'?

You want dog hats?

You've never had a dog hat?

- Nope!

Hey, Luke, what do

you know about dog hats?

He'll be all right.

Close your eyes.

Do not rub your eyes

once I apply the application.

- Roger, Sergeant.

- Take a deep breath.

Turn around when

you're ready. OC, OC.

Open your eyes. How many

fingers am I holding up?

- Open them.

- Two, Sergeant.

- Move, go!

- That's right, let's go! Let's go!

Let's go, move!

Get bad, Marine, get bad!

Get back, get back,

get back, get back!

This is our push!

Spread out!

Move! Move! Let's go!

Speed up! Speed up!

Let's go! Let's go!

Keep moving! Keep moving!

Get back, get back, get back,

get back, get back, get back!

Just go! Let's go!

What the f*** are

you doing, Marine?

Why the f*** are you

rubbing your eyes?

- I can't see, Sarge.

- Of course you can't see.

Your f***ing eyes are closed.

What do you believe

the simple solution to that would be'?

Open my eyes, Sarge.

Well, there you go!

Figure this sh*t out.

And look how f***ing

easy that was!

Keep your head up and eyes on

the f***ing target!

Look at this sh*t, man.

Huh? F***ing beautiful!

You ask, why the pain?

Why the deprivation?

Ah, f***, man.

All right, come on.

Pain doesn't subside

as your enemy listens

for sounds to fire towards.

Move, motherf***er, move!

Keep moving! Keep moving!

Hand over your rifle.

Roberts, help out

your fellow Marine.

Looks like he

could use some water.

Next!

Open your eyes.

Open your eyes.

Come on, brother,

push it out. Come on.

Push it out.

Well, somebody gotta applaud
