[ Recruits ]

Go, Hamlet. Go, Hamlet.

Go, Hamlet.

Go, Hamlet.

Go, Hamlet.

Go, Hamlet.

- [ Man On P.A.] Fire.!

- [ Gunshots ]

- Breathe, Haywood.

- [ Console Beeping ]

- [ Gunshots Continue ]

- [ Davis ] Damn, Haywood.!

Outstanding.

Outstanding.

Drill Sergeant!

No problem, Drill Sergeant! Too easy!

- Outstanding, Haywood.

- [ Gunshots Continue ]

What ya need to get is a Winchester

.30-30 like my pa got.

Aint nothin that can touch that rifle.

You know, you could pick off

a deer at about 1 50 yards away...

but thats open-sight, mind you.

Dont get no Winchester .30-30.

Get yourself a Galil,

an Israeli assault rifle. All right?

You can stick on

twin banana clips...

pump out 60 rounds in three seconds.

- Thats what Im talkin about.

- Right? Yeah.

- Thats pretty good.

- Yeah, thats a lot of deer, I guess.

Lot of deer.

Right face.!

- At ease!

- Carry on!

Go on, man.

- Straight ahead, sir.

- Which one, Sergeant?

[ Whispering ] Hes comin to get me.

Hes comin to get me. Ahem.

[ Murdoch ]

Put down your tray, son.

[ Shouting Orders ]

Oh, this is too long for me.

[ Drill Sergeant ]

Eyes front.!

[ Murdoch ]

Carry on, Drill Sergeant.

- What? What?

- You were right. Hes a sharp kid.

His real name is Nathanial Hobbs.

He doctored his drivers license.

- I hear its the smart thing

to do in his line of work.

- What? What?

He sold crack, Rago. Apparently he was

quite the entrepreneur.

Wayne County Sheriff has

a warrant out for his arrest.

Two counts possession.

I guess he thought he could

hide out in the army.

Sorry, Bill.

Damn it!

Damn it!

- Life in the streets isnt easy

- Thats it.

- All I see is pain and misery

- You forgot about these.

I kneel and pray for the victory

Strength and protection to survive

In this society

A wild kid out to get a bid

Did some sh*t

that he never should a did

But he paid the price

lived real trite

Ruined his life

and lived by the knife

Had to learn the hard way

But someday you gotta pay

Hold it.! Wait.!

Wait! Wait up!

Wait. Look.

I talked to Colonel James.

This is ridiculous.

Its the army.

- Teach.

- I dont know what to say.

Let it be.

Im sorry this happened. I--

Just let it be, Teach.

Cause statistics show

that kids with no dough

Aint got no chance

got nowhere to go

- Thats why life on the streets--

-[ Davis ] Good luck, Hobbs.

- Itll echo in your head

til youre dead

- Bye.

[ M.P.]

Stay up, Hobbs.

- Poor bastard.

- [ Sighs ]

He had the stuff.

He could a made it.

[ Ignition Starts ]

Life in the streets is a mystery

Dont know my friends

from my enemies

Up the ladder

could be trouble

But Ill hold on tight

And I will never

never give up the fight

- How ya doin, Miranda?

- All right.

- [ Montgomery ] You all right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Keep your head up.

- All right. Um--

We just, uh--

we just finished

the play within the play.

Um, so lets discuss

what happens.

Come on.

You know what happens.

Wanna know what happens?

I know what happens.

You try to stand up,

and they knock you down.

Then you show em

that youre smart...

and they get rid

of your sorry ass.

- Thats what happens.

- Thats right.

Thats the way it always goes. Hoo-ah?

[ All ]

Hoo-ah.

A couple of days ago...

without discussing it with him...

I went to the army to ask them

to look into Hobbss record.

- You did what, man?

- [ Davis ] Oh, man.!

- [ Davis ] Oh, man.

- [ Montgomery ]

Whats the matter with you?

[ Recruits Chattering ]

I didnt know anything about his past.

- Neither did any of you.

- Yeah, right.

I believed in his potential.

I wanted to see him succeed.

I am sorry for the result.

You sorry?

All I know is, the choices we make...

dictate the life we lead.

To thine own self be true.

- One, two, three--

- [ All ] One!

- One, two, three--

- Two!

- One, two, three--

- Three.!

[ Grunting ]

Hey, excuse me, sir.

Base chapel? Go back around

Ya hang a right. Ya come to that line

of A.P.C.s, ya turn left.

Go half a click, ya come

Lend thee eye a terrible aspect.

Let it pry through the portage of

Now set the teeth...

and stretch the nostril wide.

Hold hard the breath and bend up

every spirit to his full height.

On...

on you noblest English...

whose blood is fet from

fathers of war-proof.

Fathers that like so many Alexanders

have in these parts...
