Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

Scorpion-class pulse warriors.

Kamikaze bombardiers.

Every day,

new Bugs show up on the battlefield.

Watch out! Get down, get down!

So many that some wonder:

GIQ on one.

Don't bet on it, citizen.

Here at Oppenheimer

Proving Grounds...

... federal scientists are cooking up

some nasty top-secret surprises...

... of their own.

But the newest weapon

in the Mobile Infantry's arsenal...

... is the not-so-secret shovel.

Greater Bug firepower

means trenches.

And that means digging

here on Roku San...

... this once peaceful farm planet...

... that has become the new frontline

of the Second Bug War.

There you go, trooper.

And put your back into it.

If you're against the war,

you're against us.

That's what a federal judge

said today...

... when he declared that hanging

is absolutely good enough...

... for anyone who threatens

the morale of the Federation.

- and death. Execute them all.

This is a very simple ruling.

People need to watch what they say.

Admiral Enolo Phid,

division chief, Fleet Intelligence...

... voiced another concern from her

headquarters at Terran Command.

The revival of religious worship here

and in the outer colonies...

...will not be tolerated

if it leads to sedition...

...or in any other way

destabilizes our war effort.

He's dark, he's handsome,

he's psychic.

Courage, duty, honor

Eagle high above

He's General Omar Anoke,

the sky marshal everyone loves.

And gives us strength

To go and win this war

And at last night's war rally...

... he thrilled audiences

all across the Federation...

... with a pounding rendition

of his latest hit, "A Good Day to Die."

We fight for what is right

A noble sacrifice

When duty calls, you pay the price

For the Federation

I will give my life

And hey, citizen, now you can

celebrate Sky Marshal Anoke...

... and support our war effort

at the same time.

Because it's always

a good day to buy.

- I will give my life

- Courage, duty, honor

For the Federation

I will give my life

Incoming!

- Clear out!

- Run!

Move, move, move!

Can you walk, soldier?

- Yes, sir.

- Good.

Give us a hand. Pick up that arm

and find out who it belongs to.

Yes, sir.

Mop up, people.

We got brass up our ass in T-minus-2.

Surprise inspection, sir? Tonight?

The SM can drop in and count

the sheets any time he wants.

The sky marshal's coming here?

Ask him for an autograph, Lieutenant

Manion, and I will have you shot.

No, sir. Of course not, sir.

- Officer on deck.

- Carry on.

Status?

- Archie's testing the fence again, sir.

- Stupid Bugs.

Pesky, not stupid, lieutenant.

Keep it up, Archie.

I like my Bugs fried in the morning.

Boat coming down, colonel.

Look sharp, troopers.

Sir, the sky marshal is the

Federation's top-secret top secret.

So how'd you know

he was coming?

Anoke's chief of staff

used to polish my brass.

You know General Hauzer?

Dix Hauzer was a dope lieutenant

just like you once upon a time.

Made general in two years.

Some dope.

Only took me eight years

to make colonel.

Officer on deck.

- John Rico.

- Good to see you, Dix.

- How's it going?

- Good.

I have to introduce you to someone.

I think I'm in love.

Yeah? Who'd have you?

Here he comes, everybody.

Let's go, come on.

Officer on deck.

Sorry to drop in unannounced,

colonel.

And yet I sense you expect my visit.

Get in tight on this, sergeant.

Johnny Rico, our hero of Planet P.

I just did my part, sir.

Oh, no.

Heroes inspire courage, sacrifice.

- Sacrifice?

- Yes.

By asking us

to be better than what we are.

Tell me about Roku San, colonel.

Will these farmers fight?

They need us,

but they don't like us, sir.

Hearts are more fickle than minds.

Johnny Rico.

Lola Beck?

What are you doing here?

I fly the SM.

He gets the best.

Well, you know me, Johnny.

Yes, I know you.

Captain Beck is the person

I was talking about earlier.

You?

And Lola?

What's the joke?

Captain Beck,

you should have informed me...

...of your relationship

with Colonel Rico.

You know what I do out of uniform

is off the clock, general.

You three obviously

have much to discuss.

Buy them both

a drink on me, colonel.

Yes, sir.

- Lieutenant Manion, isn't it?

- Yes, sir.

- Care to give me the post tour?

- Me?

I have all your songs, sir.

- Carry on, lieutenant.

- Yes, sir.

Follow me, sir.

Come on, kids. We got orders.

You boys are the biggest girls

I've ever known.

What do you think of them?

Bugs? I hate them, sir.

Well, no one likes

what they can't understand.

But just look at the imagination.

The sheer virtuosity

of their creation.

I hate to bother you, sir, but

could you please sign my helmet?

Of course, trooper.

- Thank you, sir.

- Anytime, son.

All I know is...

...there sure are a lot more of them

at the wire today, sir.

A lot more.

Well, maybe they heard

I was going to sing.

- Officer on deck.

- Look sharp.

At ease.

Gentlemen.

You got me confused

with someone who isn't a farmer.

- How do I get me a hat like that?

- Join up, do your part.

Farmers.

- I'd like to ask you something.

- Sorry, chief.

Already married.

Buy them a drink on me, will you?

And bring us a bottle.

Hose your cage, Harlan.

These are the kind of people

who will lose this war for us.

Why is it no one in the outer colonies

wants to fight?

Roku San used to be a nice place.

Now it's war, and they blame us.

Archie's cooking tonight.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah.

- What are they thinking?

- Archie don't think.

It's a good day to fry.

- Ten-hut.

- At ease, troopers.

Fascinating.

They seem so excited tonight.

You ought to hear them, sir.

They're howling out there.

Well, put them on the line, soldier.

What does it mean, sir?

It means we're being tested,

lieutenant.

Our loyalty, our intelligence...

...our imagination.

Excuse me, sir.

My brother really loves you.

- Of course. What's his name?

- Kevin.

- I'm sure he'll make a fine recruit.

- Thank you.

- May I, sir?

- Of course you can, trooper.

Ask him for an autograph, Lieutenant

Manion, and I will have you shot.

Hey, where'd he go?

To us.

To us.

To John, hero of Planet P.

Lola, two ships

shot out from under you.

I fly a goddamn desk.

The battles I fight are with numbers.

That's what I do.

That's what I know.

And that's why I know...

...that if everyone in here

doesn't step up, we're sunk.

- To the Federation.

- The Federation.

"To the Federation."

So, Dix.

Rico and I met...

...when Johnny was a big war hero

and I was still a six.

Bond tour. Ten planets, eight days.

Do you remember Turtle Bay?

So, Dix, how do you know Johnny?

Well, he used to be my boss

at TCOM.

Standard rotation.

Worst year of my life.

Dix saved my ass every day.

Hey, it's hanging time.

Appeals are exhausted.

Their families have said goodbye.

All that remains is payment

for their crimes against you, citizen.

The senior executive executioner

is taking his time.

Sending a message, perhaps.

One for all of us to contemplate
