And They're Counting On Me.

Well, What If

Something Else Happens?

Maddie...

This Is What I Do.

Look At The Cops

And The Firefighters

In New York City.

They Didn't Stand There

And Say, "No, I'm Not

Gonna Go In There.

It's Too Dangerous."

They Did Their Jobs

Because People Were

Counting On Them.

I Have A Lot Of People

Who Are Counting On Me.

Guess I Really Never

Thought About It

Like That.

I Said That I Would Be Home.

I Will.

But For Now,

I Have To Do My Duty.

Sir?

Mr. Horner.

What've You Heard?

Well, We Finally Received

Word From The Pentagon.

I'm Afraid...

I'm Sorry.

The Pentagon Has Reported

That Your Brother

Has Been Listed As Missing.

Thank You.

Ok?

Lieutenant.

Get Them Out

As Soon As We Can.

Yes, Sir.

[Jet Engine Warming Up]

Mr. Horner?

I'm Sorry

About Your Brother.

He Was My Little Brother.

Full-Bird Colonel

In The U.S. Marine Corps.

But He Was Always Gonna Be

My Little Brother.

At The Pentagon...

The Safest Place

On Earth.

Makes You Wonder

What It's Gonna Be Like

When We Get Back There.

Would You Do Me

A Favor?

Apologize To Your Dad

For Me.

I Was Kind Of--

He's A Good Man.

He's A Good Officer.

He Does A Job

Not Many People Would Do.

A Lot Of Sacrifice.

We Tend To Forget

About People Like That...

Until We Need 'Em.

Makes Me Feel

A Little Safer

Just Knowin' That There

Are Men Like Him...

Out There,

Keepin' An Eye On Things.

Thank You.

You're Welcome.

Grace?

Yeah?

You Ever Been Shot At?

No.

Why?

Just Wondering.

You Know,

I'd Hate To...Just...

In Case...

There's Somethin' You

Have To Realize Here.

We Are The First

Line Of Defense

For This Country.

And A Lot Of Times,

We Have No Idea

What We're Flyin' Into.

And It's Scary.

But You Have To Do

Your Duty.

[Indistinct Chatter]

[Telephone Rings]

[Ring]

It's Not A Good Time

To See The X.O., Maddie.

He's Right

In The Middle Of It.

Oh.

Wasn't Easy.

Looks Like Every Tiger

We Can't Get Home

Should Be Covered.

Great.

You Know, Only Your Dad

Could Pull This Off.

Especially With

Our Classified Arrival.

Any Message?

No. I Just Wanted

To Give Him Something.

I Can Do That.

Uh...

That's All Right.

I'll...

Just Give It

To Him Myself.

Thanks.

Good Night.

Good Night.

[Machinery Chugs

Rhythmically]

Hi.

Hey.

You Guys Hungry?

Anthony:
Yeah.

I Just Made Some

Fresh Cupcakes.

Nice.

Listen, I'm Sorry

About Your Uncle.

Thanks. It...

Helps To Keep Busy.

You Know?

Yeah, I Know.

Here.

You Guys Enjoy.

Thanks.

Here.

[Machinery Produces

Steady Pounding Beat]

[Adds Second Percussion Beat]

[Tapping]

[Plays Percussion Measure]

[Adds Inventive Beat]

[New Percussion Beat Joins In]

All Right.

[Adds Own Beat]

Ooh! Ha Ha Ha!

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Aaahh!

Ha Ha Ha!

[Ensemble Stops Playing]

Ha Ha Ha!

Whoo!

Feel So Weird.

I Mean...

We Haven't

Laughed...

I Mean, I Know

I Haven't

Laughed In...

Whoo!

Since...

Felt Good,

Didn't It?

Got That Right.

[Chuckling]

Sure Did.

[Sighs]

I Mean...There's

Gotta Be Something...

There's Gotta Be Somethin'

That Everyone Can Do.

[Sighs]

Well, They're Ready To Go!

Let's Go

Over Here!

We Know That A Lot

Of Things On The Schedule

Had To Be Canceled,

And That's Totally

Understandable.

But, Sir, I Think...

There Is One Thing,

Especially Now,

That...I Think

We Should Try To Do.

All Of Us.

Girl:
Yeah!

[Indistinct Excited Chatter]

[Chuckles]

[Laughter]

Got You.

Ha Ha!

Child:
So Cool!

Ha Ha!

Ha Ha!

Quite A Tiger,

That Daughter Of Yours.

Yes, Sir.

She Certainly Is, Sir.

Ha Ha Ha!

Ahh! Ha Ha!

If I Could Have

Your Attention, Please.

Many Of You Know

Honor, Courage,

And Commitment

Are The Core Values

Of The Navy.

And Each Of You

Has Displayed

These Values

In The Last Few Days.

Our Country's

Been Attacked,

And We May Have

Some Tough Times Ahead.

But If There's One Good Thing

To Come Out Of This Tragedy,

It's The Way That You All

Have Conducted Yourselves.

Your Actions In The Face

Of Adversity

Were Nothing Short

Of Exemplary.

And On Behalf Of The Crew,

We Want To Congratulate You.

The Unfurling Of The Flag

This Morning

Meant A Lot

To All Of Us.

You All Did A Fine Job.

I'm Really Glad

You Were With Us.

And As You Leave Here Today,

I Want You All To Know

We're Proud Of You.

P.A.:
Uss Constellation

Arriving.

[Indistinct Chatter]

Commander

Was Very Nice.

He Said You Could

Have The Leave,

No Problem...

For The Service.

Yeah. I Know. I...

I Think I Oughta

Stay With The Crew And...

Head Back Out.

Yeah. I Think

You're Right.

I Am Proud

Of You, Son.

Sailors Gotta Eat,

Right?

[Chuckles]

Right.

P.A.:
All Tigers,

Please Go To The Table

That Has The First Letter

Of Your Last Name.

All Tigers,

All Tigers,

Please Go To The Table

That Has The First Letter

Of Your Last Name.

Looks Like

We're Coming

Into An Enemy Port.

Here.

Cool.

[Chuckles]

All Right.

Here. Here.

Oh, I'm Gonna

Miss You Guys!

Miss You, Too.

Have A Safe Trip.

Bye.

All Right.

Daddy's Not

Gonna Be Here

Until Tomorrow

Night, And Then

You're Gonna

Stay With Him

At His Family's.

Why Can't You Stay?

I Just...

I Can't,

That's All.

But You Know What?

I Got A Little Time

Before I Have To Be

Back, And We Can Do

Anything You Want.

Anything?

Yep.

Can We Get

Some Ice Cream?

[Chuckles] Yeah.

Let's Go Get

Some Ice Cream.

So Be Cool

And Keep

Outta Trouble. Ok?

Yeah. You, Too.

[Chuckles]

Yo, Boats.

Thanks.

Tell Pops I'll Call Him

As Soon As I Can.

Just Be Careful, Ok?

You Got It.

Raise The Arm.

Straighten

The Fingers.

[Mouths Word]

All Right.

This Is Your Contact.

Keep An Eye On Her,

Will You?

Yes, Commander.

I, Uh...

Made This For You.

Oh.

Hey! That's Great.

That--

That's Really Great.

You Know, You're

Kinda Makin' Me

Look Pretty Dashing.

When I Get Home,

We'll Have It Framed.

[Sighs]

Dad, What If

Something Else Happens?

I Mean,

What If It's Not Over?

What If We Go

To War Or Something?

We'll Be Ready

If It Happens.

Believe Me.

Everything's

Different Now.

Don't Worry.

I Remember What

We Talked About.

Maybe I Was Wrong.

I Mean, I Want You

To Come Home,

But I Don't

Want You To Quit.

I Think You Should Keep Doing

What You're Doing.

I'll Be Ok.

Are You Sure

You're Gonna Be Ok?

Yeah.

Ehh...

I Love You.

Stop Growin' So Fast.

I Want To Recognize You

Next Time.

Aye, Aye, Sir.

The X.O.

Your Father?

Yeah.

So You're A Brat, Huh?

[Chuckles]

Yeah.

I'm A Brat.

You Know I Try To Be

All That I Can

I Know Reality

Most Things

Are Not That Bright

When My World Goes Crazy

You Won't Let Go

When The Ground

Gets Shaky

You Give Me Hope

Now, When I Start Doubtin'

You Help Me See

There's Strength

And A Light

And A Power In Me

For Believin' There

Ain't Nothin' I Can't Do

My Hero Is You

My Hero Is You, You
