Thank You for Your Service
I was a good soldier.
I had purpose,
and I loved it.
I rode shotgun
in a lead Humvee,
and I looked for bombs.
You don't see the bomb
unless they want you to.
You sense it.
You just know.
I avoided the bomb that day...
But led us right
into an ambush.
- That's how Emory happened.
- Clear.
F***.
Man down!
Hang on, Emory. I got you.
Hang on, Emory.
Hang on.
I got you.
Hang on, buddy. Hang on.
Uh, 1-4-1-3-1-7.
Roger that. Waiting on 1-1.
Oh, my god.
Why are fat people so funny?
I swear, the funniest f***ers
that ever lived,
they're always...
They're always
fat motherfuckers, you know?
What, is that why
you're getting out?
You're gonna get fat?
Yeah. Yeah.
- I'm getting fat.
- Chappelle isn't fat.
- Then you got Chris rock...
- Nah, nah, you're doing...
- What?
No, I'm not, man. I'm doing...
Doing a funny thing.

- Yeah, nice try, samo.
You're barely black.
I've seen you naked.
Ooh. I've seen your weak sh*t,
too, boy.
One and done,
and didn't see sh*t.
Yeah, you've been one and done
your whole life.
This my second deployment,
dumb f***.
Yeah, if you had
any f***ing brains up there,
it'd be your f***ing last.
F*** that.
Army saved my life.
Yeah. Okay.
So, when's the bachelor party,
champ?
Oh, man, I can't have
a bachelor party.
You've seen me drunk.
- Yeah, you'd f*** a blister.
- So what?
Nah, nah.
My girl's not into it, and...
You know, I just don't want
to f*** this up, all right?
- So much for balls, man.
- Hey, look.
The bachelor party's none
of her business, all right?
That's our thing.
Look, i-i want you guys to come
meet her before
the wedding, though.

I feel like I'm married to her.

If she found out
you saw that, seriously...

left-handed. That's... -Dude...
