Jarhead - English Transcript

l'm not going to the other side of this camp for my morning glory. Stick that *** back in there. (Lincoln) l'm waiting. [flies buzzing] l left you a little gift in there. Not too hard, not too soft. Perfect. Thank you, sir. Happy holidays, Private. Done. [clicking] Done. Again. Again. Done. Done. How many is that, Cortez? Twenty-six in a row. What would you say if l told you l was gonna kill you... for *** me over like that? l already told you, it was an accident. An accident. Right. Like when this trigger slips. Of course, your nice little mom and dad are where? Cottonwood Falls. Cottonwood Falls. They'll be sad. They won't have their little boy to send *** cookies to. l'll say it was an accidental discharge. l might even spend some time in the brig... but l'll end this *** waiting. And l'll know what it's like to kill a man. What are you doing? l'm in the firing position known as the sitting position. After the prone position, it is the platform most likely... to enable a Marine to effectively kill his target. His target being a human, generally an enemy... but sometimes a friend or friendly. We call this friendly fire, or friendly ***... or getting friendly ***. Come on, Swoff, it was your watch. lt was Christmas Eve, and l was just sitting there thinking about home. That's it. What do you think, Cortez? You think l'll accidentally kill your homeboy from boot camp? Sure you'll kill him. Accidents happen. You don't see ***, right? l don't see ***. This ain't even my tent. As a matter of fact, l ain't even here, Swoff. [breathing heavily] What are you doing, man? The M16A2 service rifle is a lightweight... air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed shoulder weapon. lt fires a 5.56 mm ball projectile... muzzle velocity 2,800 feet per second. This is my rifle. Repeat after me. Repeat after me. Repeat after me! This is my rifle. There you go. That's right. [Fergus crying] Say the *** words! There are many like it. There are many like it. But this one is mine. Without my rifle, l am nothing. Say it, you *** idiot! No. This is my rifle! There are many like it, but this one is mine! Without my rifle, l am nothing. This is-- No, come on! Shut the *** up. Shut the *** up. Shut the *** up and repeat after me! Without me, l'm.... This is my rifle. There are many like it! Without me, my rifle is nothing! *** say it! Repeat after me! Repeat after me! Without my rifle, l am nothing! l am nothing! l am nothing. Shut the *** up. l'm nothing. Shut the *** up. Shut the *** up. Get up. ***, shoot me, then. *** shoot me!

[panting] ***. ***. ***. So you had a round in the chamber? You were locked and loaded? l messed up, man. Look at him. He's *** shaking. Fergus, get up here. l messed up, man. Okay. Look at him. [grunts] You *** do that again, and l will shoot you myself. All right? Well? [voice catching] l'm sorry, man. [distant explosion sounds] What was that? lt might be an echo. [distant explosion sounds] No, it's not. l hear it, too. Call it in. See if there are friendlies in the area. Lima 2 Charlie. Lima 2 Charlie. This *** *** is ***, man. Army has satellites, and we have this *** ***. Better off sending smoke signals, man. All right, guys, spread it out. [whispering] Troy. Troy. Who are they, man? l don't know. They got RPGs under their robes, man. lf they've got anthrax in there, we're gonna *** melt. [both speaking in Spanish] [mumbling in Arabic] Form a line! Okay. What do we do now? (Swoff) Looks like they wanna talk. Yeah? How you gonna do that? [speaking in Arabic] That's his left hand. Shoot him! Easy, easy, easy. Hold your fire. [speaking in Arabic] (Troy) Swoff, what are you doing? Swoff! Guys, cover him. (Marine) *** crazy ***. [Swoff speaking in Arabic] What's up, man? [man speaking in Arabic] What? What is he doing? (Swoff) Calm down. What the *** is he doing? Don't *** touch the rifle! Back up! Back the *** up! No fire. No fire! [camels grunting] What did he say? Someone shot their camels. What? Someone shot their camels, man. (Troy) Eight men for five camels. Swoff spoke Arabic. Sounded like a duck *** or something, but he spoke Arabic. Oh, yeah, yeah. But at least we finally saw something. You guys should see what the .40 does... to the head of a *** camel, though. What does the .40 do to the head of a camel, Fowler? lt turns the head inside out in about three *** knots. The head shot's like a ***, too. lt's easy shots, slow.... Boom! [imitating splattering] [laughing] [vehicle honking] Oh, ***! Wow! Here they are! My lady love! Show's starting, boys! Hey, teach me some of that Arabic. What's ''Come suck my ***''? [talking gibberish] ...ducks ***.... Drop the zero, get with the hero. l like you. Sit down, Fowler. That's the one. You saw. She'll never forget me, man. lt's not funny, man. That *** wanted me. Did you see that? You truly are an ***. Come on, man. You just haven't got to kill anything yet. That's your problem, man. Don't *** touch me. You'll get to kill something sometime. Your day will come, man. Your day will come. Listen up! l'm about to read to you what Mr. Saddam Hussein... has just said to the lraqi people. And you better not consider this a bunch of ***. ''The mother of all battles is upon us. ''The sacrifices the lraqi people will make... ''are equal to the importance of the victory. ''Kuwait is the branch that must be returned to the tree. ''The blood of the infidels will flow like a river. ''Jihad is the way of all Arab people.'' We are now Operation Desert Storm. And we're the *** righteous hammer of God. And that hammer is coming down. lt's real now. We're going to the border. (marines) Ooh-rah! Let's go! Let's move it! Let's punch in this clock. We got work to do. Let's go. Let's move. Come on! Let's go! Move. Listen up. When we cross this berm tomorrow... we expect as many as 30,000 casualties the first day. There will be gas. lt will be *** nasty. These atropine-oxime injectors go along with your PB pill packs. ln the event that you're attacked by nerve agents such as soman... these agents will produce casualties immediately... if you do not deploy these countermeasures *** ricky-tick. Why in the ***, if we've already taken a set of PB pills... and just now been issued the *** injector? Shut the *** up. l'm sick of your ***. All right, all right, man. Calm down. Look, they don't want chemically dead fighters on CNN. Just sign it, Kruger. What the *** is this? lt's a waiver. lt says these pills aren't proven. lt says you won't sue if you get *** up. Okay, yeah, sure, fine. l'll take the *** pills, and a year later... my *** will turn inside out and start *** talking to me. lt's all a ***. These pills ain't worth a ***. Kruger, you country ***! ln 1987, Saddam lnsane used chemical weapons... against the Kurds, and he killed thousands like *** that. The ones that lived, their kids came out *** up. Eight toes to one foot, no *** opening... retarded, blind. Such *** up little ***... they should have just killed them all anyway. You want that, don't take the pills. You don't want that, sign the *** waivers... and take the *** pills! All of you, get your pills in your hand. Get them out. Get them so l can see them. [distant explosions sounding] Now take the pill and put it on your tongue. Swallow the pill. Now let me see your tongues. Now, doesn't that feel better? Don't we all feel better? Yes, Staff Sergeant! Good. Now, dig your sleeping holes. Dig your holes with the hands God gave you. [jet engines roaring] *** zoomies. They're gonna win the war all by themselves? They'll be sleeping in their own beds tonight, too. So what, man? We're scout *** snipers. When the *** hits the fan, we lead the *** way. Ooh-rah! (marines) Ooh-rah. Sure, look around. You hear those planes. This war is gonna move too fast for us. All right, we can shoot 1,000 yards. To go that far in Vietnam, that would take a week. ln World War l, a year. Here, it's gonna take about 10 *** seconds. By the time we have our rifles dialed... the war is going to be a mile down the road. Wake up! Jesus! What the *** is going on? Get out of my sleeping hole. We're about to go in the ***, and you're *** with their heads. Get out of my sleeping hole. (Sykes) Lucky day! Listen up! We've got our orders. We leave tomorrow, 0900. Swofford, you got to sign your waiver again. l can't read your *** handwriting. Yes, Staff Sergeant. Done. l don't give a ***, Swofford, l could read it the first time. Your boy, Troy got turned down for re-enlistment. What? You're *** with me. Hey, watch your mouth. l don't need your *** attitude. But that's all he-- That's all he wants, is to be in the Suck. l know that, but the Suck doesn't want him. He had a criminal record. He lied about it. And he lied about it on his application. So when we get back home, he's out. He's out. The reason l'm telling you is so you can keep him from *** up. You think you can manage that? Can you manage that? [helicopter whirring] What? So you weren't even gonna tell me? What? Why don't you just shut the *** up and mind your own business? What the *** is this, man? (Cortez) Bet it smells good, man. She sent it back, man. Sent it back like you send back a ring. (Cortez) What did she write? ''l'll always love you, Kristina.'' What's the *** problem, then? Nothing stays the same, Swoff. Not our girlfriends, not our families, not anyone. Time doesn't stop back in the real world... 'cause we're about to go in the ***. We're Marines. Nobody gives a rat's ***. No, we're jarheads.
