2:50
You're whispering. Yes, sir. I will be your mother, your father, your legal guardian, and your sister for the entire period. You are here at Marine Corps Recruit Depot. You will be treated like a man or you act like a man.
3:06
You will do things you never thought possible. You will use muscles and develop abilities you never thought you had. Left turn. Turn to the left, you dodos. Drop those bags in front of you.
3:17
What do you think this is? A shopping cart? I will now explain to you a position of attention, and you will execute it and maintain that position. You will place your heels together in a line and turn your toes outward at a 45 degree angle. If you don't know what a 45 degree angle is, cover the yellow footprints.
3:37
You will place the thumbs of your hands along the outside seams of your trousers, curling your fingers slightly so they touch the material of the trousers. Your arms are straight. Your wrist is straight. Your stomach is in. Your shoulders are up.
3:46
Your chest is out. Your chin is parallel to the ground. Your head and your eyes are straight ahead, and your mouth is shut and will remain that way. At all times, you will speak in a loud and clear voice. At all times, the first words out of your mouth and the last words out of your mouth will be, sir.

6:01
What'd he pay you? No. I was Shut your mouth. Lady, I try not to remember faces. It's not a good idea for a DI to start placing faces and names together because then he starts singing about you boots as human beings.
6:21
But, lady, I will remember your face. I will not get your face out of my mind, and that's bad. That's very bad. Because when I want something done, you're gonna weigh heavy on my mind. Why did you do this to me?
6:35
I didn't have a choice. I was drafted, sir. You were drafted in the marines. But why did you pick my marine corps? Drop your double bag.
9:35
Screw the table. Now there are certain items that you are you chewing gum? Sir. Yes, sir. Get it out of your mouth.

11:27

11:33
Why not, sir? Because I said so. You think that's funny? Sir. No, sir.
11:41
You wanna keep those teeth? Sir, get, sir, and keep them covered. Get those covers off your head in my house. The bucket's going to the racks. Store your gear.

10 minutes to full inspection. Now. Hey. Aren't you gonna do anything, man? He ain't.
12:36
He just told us to store our gear. Okay. There. She's dead. Okay.
12:45
My name's Scrunch. Scrunch Gordon. Armstrong. Let's keep a last name Gordon. That's all it really counts around here.
12:53
You've been in before? No. I was in the ROTC. 3 years. Really makes you stand tall.
12:59
You know what I mean? Yeah. Now you take that guy over there laying on his bunk. He's gonna make it tough for the rest of us. You know what I mean?
13:10
These are lousy mattresses. How do they expect a guy to get any sleep around here? Are you kidding me? He's so great. Do you know anything about this jazz?
13:19
No, baby. But the man does, and I'm sure he'll be back. Name's Washington. Sydney Washington. Washington?
13:26
Say it, baby. My name is Washington too. My cell is Washington. What's happening? That's wild.
13:33
Do do you think they'll get us confused? I don't know, man. But for now on, this bunk is a depressed area. Hey. Better start folding your clothes.
13:42
Yeah. Come on. We don't want any goof offs in this outfit. Well, he didn't say he wants anything done yet. You better get yourself in gear, buddy.
13:51
Just fold them like you do at home. Yeah. Well, move it. Just like Owen. Get back on that center for you.
14:30
Everybody's been asking me for my autograph. Yeah. Why? Why? For my record catch on the front page.
14:35
Why? Let me see that thing. Yeah. Sure. You're a record catch.
14:38
You're so lucky. Tell you, you look awful sad here. Yeah. Well, you never even been able to catch coal, let alone fish. Coal.
14:44
Look at that hat. You look like Well, that's my granddaddy's turkey hand. It's brought me luck all this time. Well, that's the first time in 10 years of fishing that I ever caught more than you. It'll be the last time too.
14:53
Remember, sir, boy. Yeah. I didn't know you had to start. Opinion yourself. Hey.
14:57
Did you read this story on the front page here? Yeah. Yeah. About our boys in Vietnam, you know, before they go into battle here, it says they've been smoking marijuana. Well, I don't believe that, boy.
15:08
Yeah. Never will. Yeah. It says you're, about 30%. If a kid of mine ever did that, I'd kill him.
15:15
You don't have any kids. It don't make any difference. I'd kill him anyway. Do you know what that is? That's communist propaganda, though.
15:23
That's all that is. Oh, wait. Not communist. Sure it is. Man, they grow it.
15:27
They sell it. They sure don't smoke it. That's not true at all. Remember up in Dong Fang? The producers of our youth.
15:32
That's why it's a communist plot. After all we do for them, they go out of here. Everything goes right down the drain. A miracle man, buddy. That's what we are.
15:41
Miracle man. Who else but a miracle man can take these scissors and turn them into marines and apes? Yeah. Well, I time for me to lay into them. You know, you better frame this there, champion.
15:51
Listen. If you, feel like finding out which way is up, meet me for game 8 ball tonight. Hey, you better practice. Hey, Ted. Get out of that rack.
16:03
We're doing it in that rack. You. No. No, sir. Those racks are the same to you and none of you.
16:30
Oh, that's very pretty. Where'd you learn to do that? Sir, Isabel. Sir. Who?
16:36
Who? Sir, my maid, sir. Who? Your maid is shut your mouth. Isabel, your maid taught you to do that.
16:43
Isn't that sweet? Did she also teach you how to make your pot? Sir, no, sir. You'll learn. What did you learn to fold your skitties like that?
16:57
Sir, I Yeah. That's the way we do it at home, sir. Oh. My mother taught me how, sir. Your mother?
17:02
Yes, sir. Our mother is wrong. All your mothers are wrong. All your maids are wrong. There is only one way to do it.
17:09
And what way is that? You can have one guess. The marine way. Say it. Sir, the marine way, sir.
17:20
Again. Sir, the marine way, sir. ROTC. Sir. Yes, sir.
17:30
Isabelle was better. The ROTC teach you how to make that bunk. Show it again, sir. Tear it up. Tear it up.
17:40
Show it again, sir. You were wrong, but you're right than they are. Hit the deck. You push up. I tell you to stop.
18:03
1, 2, 3. Stop. Why aren't you wearing skivvies? I never wear shorts, sir. On your feet.
18:14
What do you mean you never wear shorts? I like the freedom, sir. Now hear this. There will be no freedom in this camp. Is that clear?
18:28
Sir, yes, sir. You will wear skivvies. Is that clear? Sir, yes, sir. Hit the deck.
18:35
You push up until you stop. I don't hear you. 1, 2, 3. I said I'll hear you. 1, 2, 3, sir.
18:49
1, sir. 10, sir. 3, sir. 4, sir. 5, sir.
18:55
6, sir. Washington. Yes, sir. Are you idiot, Pat Washington? Yes, sir.
20:36
Pat Washington, beginning now, you will lose weight or I will cut that blubber off you. Was that clear? Oh, yes, sir. Skinny Washington. Yes, sir.
20:43
Skinny now, you will gain weight or I will take fat Washington's blubber and shove it down your throat. Is that clear? Aye aye, sir. Well, hop out of that back, driver. You ain't no cameraman.
21:39
Whew. Man, I feel like a monkey in a cage. That's right, man. 1984 gets a little closer every day. And every time he yells at me, my stomach gets all twisted up in knots.
21:50
He makes me nervous. He's supposed to. Why do you stand on your head for him, Ham? When I'm really tired, this relaxes me. 2 years in the Bolivian food never made me feel as sick as I feel right now.
22:11
Bolivia? What were you doing in Bolivia? Peace Corps. You know, that's crazy. I come back and I'm home 3 days, man, and get my draft notice.
22:26
Yeah. I almost joined the Peace Corps. I heard Bob had been to Canada for a while. Why didn't you go? I don't know.
22:39
I really don't know. Maybe it's my karma to be here. I thought that, you couldn't be drafted after the Peace Corps. She So where are you from? Well, lots of places.
22:56
I've been all over. Well, what'd you do? Whatever comes natural. Kinda hard to get an answer out of you, isn't it? I you ever been in one of those communes?
23:13
Yeah. For a while. Well, was anything like the magazine say it is? You know, free love and everything? Wow.
23:20
That was a small part of it. After a while, the tourists started coming around to look at the freaks. You know? Got all crowded up with the kind of people we're trying to get away from. Whole thing just sort of fell apart.
23:35
That's too bad, man. It sounds like a great life. Yeah. It's all what you make it. Took me a long time to realize that yesterday can't be changed, and tomorrow really can't be controlled with any certainty.
23:52
I just kinda shoot for the minute. Well, I wish I'd met you sooner before I got in this place. It's all where your head's at, man. That's all that counts. 10 Pull up your pants.
24:32
You have 10 minutes to write an obligatory letter home. In it you will explain that you have in process, that you are well, and that you will attend the church of your choice. You will use this barracks number as your return address. Is that clear? Sergeant, answer.
24:48
10 minutes starting now. RDI is all marine. RDI is all Marine. He keeps everyone in line with the crack of his voice. A Marine's Marine.
25:01
Dad, I like it. You were right. We all look the same here. You can't tell a rich guy from a poor one. It's the only time in my life I've ever felt like everybody else.
25:12
Tell Coach Pittman that I'm in real good shape. The exercises here are even easier than the ones he gave us. The guys already look to me as their leader. I really hate it here. Everything about it.
25:38
It's depersonalizing and it's depressing. I wish I were anywhere else. And there's another guy here named Washington, but I'm positive he's no relation. Tell Leonis. If he thinks they're square on the outside, you ought to take a look at him in here.
26:19
Private agent on the double. Sir, private agent on the double. Why aye, sir? I hear a woodpecker at my door. Sir, private agent reporting his orders, sir.
26:33
In. I don't like you standing on your head. Sir. Yes, sir. I don't want any of my troops standing on their head.
26:49
Sir. Yes, sir. I don't like the way you do your push ups either. Sir. Yes, sir.
26:55
But I'm doing them exactly as instructed, sir. I say you're doing them wrong. Eyes front. Not those eyeballs. You will do 100 push ups tomorrow morning before breakfast.
27:08
Sir. Yes, sir. The Marine way. Sir. Yes, sir.
27:20
You scored higher than anyone in platoon on these tests. Did you know that? Sir? No, sir. Says you're only at a year and a half high school.
27:32
What happened to kick you out? Sir, no, sir. I I quit. Thought it was a waste of time, sir. You think learning is a waste of time?
27:43
Sir, no, sir. But what they had to teach me just didn't interest me, sir. Then you tell me how you learned so much to score like this. Sir, I don't know, sir. Just hanging around, I guess.
27:52
You trying to snow me, lady? Sir, no, sir. Never play any organized sport? Sir, no, sir. Never really cared for them, sir.
28:15
I understand you're private. No high school. No teams. No supervision. Ain't you in better condition than the rest of my recruits?
28:23
Why does that bother you, sir? I'll ask the questions around here, and there will be no more standing on your head in my barracks, mister. Sir. Yes, sir. But the private understood that he had 5 minutes to relax, sir.
28:34
Oh, the private did. Sir. Yes, sir. Private finds standing on his head, relaxes him, sir. It's it's kind of like the drill instructor's drawing there.
28:42
That that's very good, sir. It has a great deal of freedom, yet it's it's precise yet very natural, sir. It's not my drawing. Sir. Yes, sir.
29:01
Get out of my sight. Aye aye, sir. Hey, blood boy. I just come to a big decision on the way over here. Yeah.
29:13
What? I'm gonna let you beat me tonight in the game of 8 ball. You don't have to let me do that. Let's go. Come on.
29:20
Oh, I I I got tonight. Come on. I'll buy you a beer. What do you say? Did you ever hear did you ever hear of a boot who never finished high school scoring the highest of anybody on these tests?
29:36
I'd say that's impossible. Yeah. Look. Look in here. Look at that.
29:42
Look. You're some kind of a genius. Yeah. Adrian. Mhmm.
29:46
Ain't that that hippie? Yeah. I guarantee you something. He got the highest score, man. He cheated.
29:54
How can you cheat? I don't know, but I'll guarantee you, he cheated. That's a tough test, man. Last go on, girl. No.
30:03
No. Later. Later. I I gotta, put the babies to bed. Tin hut, pick up that bucket.
30:37
Lights out in 3 minutes. Aren't those teeth brushed? They're ready for inspection in 1 and 1 half minutes. Move. You all enjoyed your push ups today, Didn't you?
30:53
Sir. Yes, sir. But you're going to enjoy them even more tomorrow, aren't you? Sir. Yes, sir.
31:03
You think you look silly in your new hairdos, don't you? Sir. No, sir. You'd like your girlfriend to see you now. Wouldn't you?
31:12
Sir, yes, sir. You'd all like to go to sleep now, wouldn't you? Sir, yes, sir. What? You don't really wanna go to sleep, do you?
31:25
Sir. No, sir. You'd like to run a few laps, wouldn't you? Sir. Yes, sir.
31:33
You are marines, aren't you? Sir. No, sir. But you're going to become marines, aren't you? Sir.
31:43
Yes, sir. I don't hear you, people. Sir. Yes, sir. I still don't hear you, people.
32:58
Hit the racks. I can't hear you, girls. Come on. Shut up. Yeah.
33:34
Then this is stupid. You people are stupid, aren't you? Yes, I don't understand garbage. Alright, chicken. It's 450.
34:12
Let's not sleep the day away. Out of those racks. I want you on your feet and I'll change it when I pass by. Move it. Ginkgo, Sanchez, head on the deck.
34:21
Let's go. Out of all Washington, head on the deck. Move it. What do you think you're doing? I said, what do you think you're doing?
34:41
Sir, exercising, sir. What? Your butt? No, sir. My mind, sir.
34:44
Get your mind. I'll tell you what to think and when to think and how to think. Is that clear? Sir. Yes, sir.
34:49
Put on the deck. Now. Yes, sir. 1, sir. 2, sir.
34:57
3, sir. You're gonna pick it up with your toothbrush. There you go. Alright. Come on.

36:41
I said drop them, Shirley. Take 5 laps. We're just making an order, Shirley. Yes, sir. Throw you, boy.
37:56
Stand up there. Straighten up. Sir, I I feel sick. I really feel terrible. I don't hear you, boy.
38:01
Sir. I feel sick, sir. I I really feel terrible. That's no good, Private Quintin. You tried that yesterday.
38:07
One more time, I'm gonna put you back. You have a nice trip, private? Yes. Sir, yes, sir. Sure.
38:45
Here we'll now demonstrate how to do stationary double time for us. Stationary double time. And to make sure that Shirley doesn't daydream during drill anymore, The entire platoon will do stationary double time. Put, put, stationery double time. Get those heels up.
39:45
Okay. Hey. Hey. That's something I've been to ask. How did you hold up those buckets for so long?
39:51
It wasn't easy. Boy, didn't it hurt? I mean, it seemed like you weren't feeling anything. I didn't then before. I sure do now.
40:00
Well, what about when you had all that double time to do? You were actually smiling. It it seemed like you were enjoying the whole thing. I was. You just gotta put yourself in the right frame of mind, Sydney.
40:12
Well, could you, could you teach me how to do what I mean? Could you give me a few pointers? Well, see, it's it's not like, self hypnosis or anything like that. It's it's, it's magical. It's it's kind of like taking your mind to another planet.
41:59
You know? My body. Yeah. You're separating your mind from your body. Right?
42:03
Could we over? Look. If I can do what you can do. Right? I've just about had enough of this.
42:09
You know, you're out of your head, baby. Why do you do it, baby? You know, you're messing with these guys' minds. Hey, man. So does uncle Sam.
42:21
We're sick of your anti American talk. Come on, scram. We don't want you and your kind around here. Come on. You've fallen for this hippie's propaganda stuff.
42:31
Back in the pool, baby. He doesn't belong here. Arm sounds. At ease. Well, Adrian, fall out and follow me.
43:11
What do you think you're trying to do? Sir? How do you get those dinks to hold up those buckets for so long? Sir, just some basic freaking dialed medication. Don't give me that double talk.
43:22
You are destroying the unity of my platoon. No, sir. I'm only trying to help that little guy, Sydney, sir. He's the weakest. I say you are destroying the unity of my platoon.
43:30
Do you hear me, lady? Yes, sir. I'm considering sending you back to motivation platoon. Do you know what that means? No, sir.
43:39
You have DI's much tougher than me crawling all the way up your back 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, every hour. Those 24 hours, you wish you were dead. Now is that what you want, private? No, sir. Well, then you shape up and you join my platoon.
43:56
Yes, sir. Now what were you telling them in the barracks last night? Sir, I was explaining the fundamentals of recondial meditation, sir. Take off that double talk, I said. Whatever it is, I don't like it.
44:10
Yes, sir. Sir, the private would like to know the point of holding up the buckets. Is it to strengthen our arms and determination to instill pride and self confidence, sir? The point of this exercise is to save your life. Whether you understand it or not is unimportant.
44:28
That I order it done is sufficient for you to do it. Yes, sir. Without question. Yes, sir. Get back to your platoon.
44:42
Alright, sir. Very nice job, sir. Thank you, sir. Very nice job. Gee, I didn't think religion was gonna be part of our basic training.
45:02
Well, you know, many a pair sent us a boy, and with the lord's help, he's gotten back a marine. Oh, every muscle on my body is killing me. Oh, that feels good. Can you hear me? Beautiful body.
45:15
Teach us some more. How about it? Come on. What do you say? Yeah.
45:17
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
45:19
Yeah. Wait a minute, you guys. Hey. That's right. If you can do it with the buckets, then we can do it with practically anything else.
45:25
Hey. Deal. Deal. See. He looked for him outrun.
45:28
Hey. Did you watch it? Shh. Even that stationary double time, man. Alright.
45:33
Come on. And you wait a minute. Drill. Drill. Drill.
45:36
Push up. Hey. Hey. You know, it really involves a lot of deep concentration. You really gotta get into it.
45:41
Are you kidding? It's really important to us. How about it? Hey. Hey.
45:45
Look who's joining the club, scrunch Gordon. Oh, hey. This is the fall clean. Guys. Yeah.
46:01
I'll be right there. See you inside, Paul. Got yourself some downers, I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it, Adrian. Yeah. I can dig it.
46:12
I'm not so sure I'm gonna make it myself. Do you want some of mine? No. I'll pass. Oh, I couldn't start the day without them.
46:20
Yeah. I'm hip to it. For 2 years, I couldn't leave the house without downers. Yeah. Just really a drag trying to face all that every day.
46:29
It's insane. That's just the way I feel, man. Yeah. But you know what happened then, Quint? I started doing uppers to counteract the downers and function at a normal level, which is really just where I was at to begin with.
46:47
Yeah. But that's that's what I mean. I just can't function in this place. I think I'm about ready to flip out. Maybe you should.
47:01
What? Tell them the truth. Tell them you're sick. You're so nervous you don't think you can make it. You think they'd really believe me?
47:08
I don't know. You look awful sick to me. Sanchez, look, man. I'm looking better. Right?
47:15
I mean, check this out. Yeah. You're giving me nightmares. Baby. I didn't lost a lot of weight, Sanchez.
47:21
I mean, just look at this muscle ripple. Your neck. My neck? What about my neck? It's still fat.
47:33
It hasn't lost any weight at all. Well, look at it. It's disgusting, man. Say, Sanchez. What are you saying, man?
47:39
How's a person supposed to lose weight in their neck? That's Drake. He's probably got an exercise for it. Well, it's like the key to the whole thing is calmness, inner calm, is tranquility. It's feeling good, and it's not being where the pain is.
48:00
It's like you have to take yourself on a real mental trip. You have to separate yourself from what's happening. It's like divorce thought from action by breaking thought down to its essence. And then you have to visualize something that something that's felt good to you before that you remember is good to take the place of of the pain. Think of think of of of the thing that you've experienced before.
48:36
It's like re experience until it all becomes more real than real. And then you have to visualize and taste and smell and feel, and it just fills your head. And there was nothing else there. Nothing else exists. And then you're there.
50:19
You poor? Yeah. That's hot. You keep bringing my cock, you're gonna have to buy some. You feeling okay?
50:39
You got anything you'll talk to me about? Well, actually, doctor, I've got a lot of troubles. I mean it, Drake. Drake, everything's okay between us, Oh, come on me to hold your hand? I don't know, boy.
51:01
Seems to me things have been hanging pretty heavy with you lately. Oh, come on, Frank. Come on. I haven't had time like this today. Oh, it's true, I mean, I've met the only one who's noticed it.
51:10
I mean, a lot of other guys have been interested in things too. Yeah. Like what? Well, like your whole attitude. It's like you're softening up for something.
51:18
It's like you just don't care. That's crazy. No. It's true. I got drilled this morning.
51:22
I mean, hell, it's a 110 degrees out there on that grinder, and your platoon looked happy. Yeah. So? Well, it's not like you, Drake. You should have been out there kicking yourselves a few butts.
51:31
Their marching was superior. I'm not talking about them marching. I'm talking about their attitude. That was wrong. I noticed the clear cross of grinder.
51:38
Oh, thanks. Thanks a lot. Thanks. Thanks for checking up on me, Frank, old buddy. Oh, checking up on you.
51:44
What are you talking about? Checking up. Take your distance down. You ain't the same with this bunch. Not I think it's got something to do with the hippie.
51:51
Now has it? I don't know. It seems to me there's some peculiar Frank, listen. I'm behind in my paperwork. Thanks for giving me the pep talk.
51:59
Right? Okay, boy. Boy. If you're in the trouble, Britney, you just come to me. Okay?
52:58
Watch your target. Tell you, watch your target. 25, you were not firing. Stand over there. Number 25, I repeat, you were not firing.
53:26
Adrian, Adrian, you have to fire. Sooner or later, you're gonna have to qualify. There is no way around it. Adrian, You fire, sir. I hope they all send you back for motivation for 2 now.
53:43
Do you hear me, boy? Yes, sir. Then fire. Yes, sir. Go.
54:45
Bow in the black. Run her to it. Sure ain't the weapon. Hey. Ray.
55:29
Man, I've been looking all over for you. Listen, the CO heard about your boy not firing out there today on the range. Yeah. How'd he hear about that? How's he hear about anything?
55:50
You know, buddy, you can't, let some hippie punk foul up your platoon average. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take them off your hands, Drake. I'm gonna transfer him. No, Doug.
56:00
I wish you wouldn't do that, Frank. I really wish you would. Yeah. I've given a lot of thought. That's what I'm gonna do.
56:04
Come on. What are you? Just because you're chief DI, you pull rank on me. You can't privilege 1 recruit over another. Now you know what I mean?
56:11
I don't care what the book says. The kid's got a problem I can handle. It's alright. Oh, he's got you, Drake. He's got himself.
56:18
Yeah. Well, I'm gonna transfer him. Don't do it, Frank. Then he'll rip you down, boy. I know that.
56:22
That's my problem, not yours. I'm I'm making a money, brother. My back. I'm not gonna get Don't bug me. Just bug off.
56:31
Okay, buddy. I won't bug you. You can count on it. I hear a termite, my woodwork. Sir, private equipment reporting you on, sir.
57:04
In. Sir, there's something that has to do with it. When I balled you on the grinder today, Quintin, you know your left and your right? Sir. Yes, sir.
57:18
Then how come your rifle was on your left shoulder when I distinctly ordered right shoulder arm? Sir, the private corrected that mistake, sir. The private corrected that mistake when I said left shoulder arms, then you're out within your right shoulder, wasn't it? Sir. Yes, sir.
57:32
And then when I said left shoulder arms, you were out within your right shoulder. Right? Sir. Yes, sir. Do you know your left from your right, pal Quintin?
57:40
Sir. Yes, sir. Put your arm up. Knock that one the other when you idiot. Now what arm is that?
57:46
Sir, my right arm, sir. Drop it. Left arm, up. Drop. Right arm, drop.
57:53
Left arm, who told you to drop that arm? Keep it up there till I order you not to. Drop it. Lift arm up. Now, private Quint, you keep that arm up near until I decide that you should take it down, and then maybe you'll remember which is your right from your left.
58:13
Get out of my side. Hi, Isaac. Hi, Drake. On the rotation, buddy? Yeah.
58:36
Yeah. Let's play. Hey. I tell you about last weekend. No.
58:41
Gee, you should have been there. Larry and I went up Snake River about 5 miles past the campground, and we found a spot that I can't even tell you about it. Yeah. In the first hour, we caught 10 of the biggest trout you could ever hope to see. No kidding.
58:56
Listen, I'm not telling everybody about this, but if you wanna join us this weekend, you and sergeant DePyster, we got room. No. No. Thanks, Mike. No.
59:05
I'm in mid cycle. So what? You've you've left here people on a Sunday before. They're probably better off without you anyway. What's the matter?
59:16
Something eating you? Noon. Well, there probably is, but nobody ever tells a chaplain anything. Are we here to talk or play pool, Mike? Now come on.
59:32
Let's go. It's your shot. Let's go. No. It's your shot.

61:55

62:11
As of now. Wow. Boy, what a waste. I don't know, babe. I can't do anything right.
62:29
They're always on my back yelling at me, man. Every time I turn around, there's old sergeant Drake, man, staring right down my throat. He's just waiting for me. Just waiting for me to make a mistake so he can start in on me. Quentin, you know, it's not only you.
62:51
It's all of us. Yeah. Yeah. Right. No.
62:53
It's me, man. It's me. I'm the one he picked. It's it's me, man. It's me.

Thing. I thought we were doing pretty great. We are. Here, Quintus. Give your hand.
64:27
Hey, you. You. Up there. What's that idea of knocking this bottom off? Sir, he didn't push me.
64:31
I thought this was I just pushed you. I thought I was just climbing again, sweetheart. Sir, I didn't push you. You don't talk. You don't talk back to a DI boot.
64:37
You don't jump back. Come on. Get on here. Start this course over again. Come on.
64:40
Back at the beginning. Let's go. Come on. What? What's the whole app?
64:43
What's the whole app? Just give me a little back talk here, sweetheart. Are you disobeying the orders of the DI? No, sir. And you knew what the chief said.
64:52
You start this course over again. Aye aye, sir. Bullet. Let's get up these lines here. You too, you sickbay.

65:27
Let me get a look at you. I never got this close to no flower child before. What kind of flower are you, boy? Are you a daisy? Sir, no, sir.
65:48
You're not a daisy. Are you a sweet pea boy? Sir, no, sir. I bet you're a sweet pea. Are you a sweet pea?
65:55
Sir, no, sir. Sir, no, sir. What? I can't hear you, boy. Sir, no, sir.
65:59
Sir, no, sir. What? Sir, no, sir. I'm not a sweet beast, sir. I don't have to tell your voice, boy.
66:03
I think you're mad at me. Would you like to hit me, private? Would you like to hit me, private? Sir, no, sir. I think the private would like to hit me.
66:13
Well, I tell you what, Private. I'm gonna put my hands behind my back. Now you take one. Just hit me once right here. Go ahead.
66:19
Give me one. Come on. Give me a knuckle sandwich, boy. Oh, come on, Mary. Wouldn't you like to give me a little slap?
66:24
Wouldn't you like to hit me with your purse, sweetheart? Alright. Come on. Come on. Let me get you to the deep hole.
66:26
You're gonna You what? You don't want what? You heard me. I won't want you touching my men. Well, now, Drake, buddy, you know I can discipline any recruit You said lay off my men, Frank, and I mean it.
66:59
What? I'm hippie. Oh, wow, man. Clint, this has got to be the worst. I can't even believe it.
67:17
Just a giant effort just to survive every day here. Oh, that deep pastel. You can't be considered normal, not even in this place. Quentin. Hey, Quentin.
68:23
Stupid, stupid jerk. No. Adrian, no. It's my ticket home. It's my ticket home, mate.
68:37
There is no ticket home, you idiot. No. What happened? Oh. Go get Drake at a doctor.
68:42
Oh my gosh. Now move. Gone. Get gone. Move.
68:46
Okay. Okay. No, Adrian. Leave me alone. So what's the matter with you anyway?
69:01
Leave me alone, Adrian. Sydney, get the doctor, please. What do you mean no ticket home, Adrian? If any of you are thinking the same thoughts as Private Quentin, you should read this little book. You will notice that the text and the accompanying illustrations show how to kill a man, including yourself, including slitting your wrists properly.
69:26
This makes the whole process much more efficient and much less time consuming for all parties concerned. I want you all to read it. Pass it around among yourselves. When you've completed the assignment, you will sign your name and serial number on the last page. Is that understood?
69:51
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I don't hear you very clearly tonight, gentlemen. Sir, sir. Break.
71:56
Since you kitties are so eager for fun and games, I have decided to arrange an exercise for you this morning to work off your excess energy. Now I will take great delight in watching you ladies beat each other with fuchsia sticks. Now there will be winners and there will be losers. The losers will find yourselves assigned to remedial mess duty forever. Is that clear, ladies?
72:30
Sir. Yes, sir. Private Adrian. Sir. Get someone on your head.
72:39
Final Washington. Sir. Not you fads. Skinny Washington. Hidden in a bucket.
73:31
What do you think you're doing? Sir, I thought that You thought what? What did you think? Did I tell you to think? No, sir.
73:39
I told you not to think, didn't I? Yes, sir. Pick up that digital stick. Yes, sir. Pat Washington.
73:45
Yes, sir. Get that bucket on your head. Finish it. Finish it. The name of this exercise is kill.
75:03
Gun. Yes, sir. In the bucket. Yeah. Let's go.
75:07
Come on. Go. We know you're gonna do it. He's about to go anyway. Get it.
75:13
Get it. On. Get back into your positions. Get back. You too, Gordon.
75:55
Get back. Get back. Get back. On your feet, private. What you doing in that rack?
77:18
What do you think this says? Map time? No, sir. What are you doing here anyway? Are you supposed to be with the others on free time with the PX?
77:25
Yes, sir. Well, maybe the private doesn't wanna leave his barracks. The private does, sir. Maybe he doesn't want his free time. Private does, sir.
77:35
Well, then move out. Yes, sir. Sir, I thought it was the private's privilege to spend free time where he wants, sir. Oh, you did. Well, you're wrong.
77:46
When I say go, you go. Why you leave, sir? You hang on, don't you? You still hang on. Yeah.
78:05
The whole trouble you don't understand, private. You you have to change. I have changed, sir, physically. And I'm gonna be a a full fledged, 100% basic marine in 2 days. But you really can't expect to change me and ignore my mind.
78:35
Yeah. Well, we've been doing it successfully for the past 195 years. Maybe, but that doesn't work anymore, sir. Not today, not with us. You know, you really don't know us, sir.
78:47
You expect us to buy all this in name of patriotism like it was some sort of a privilege to Shut your mouth. I know you, and I know you're kind. I know your philosophy, and I don't want it. I don't like it. For your information, it is a privilege to serve your country.
79:04
More than that, it's a necessity because we're at war, and war is a fact of life, Private Adrian. Good, bad, or indifferent, man has not been able to survive without war. It's a balance of nature, lady. Yes, sir. I guess I'll never make it as a soldier, sir.
80:07
He's the hero. He's the villain. He's the victim all in one. Bright, dark gathering. Bright, dark gathering in my Single silent soldier does each task that must be done.
81:42
He's the hero. He's the villain. He's the victim. Pronouncing the departure Better leave the country. After 30 days you were deserted.
82:40
Thanks. As a matter of fact, you're AWOL right now. I know. You're out of uniform. You could be arrested.
82:55
Hey, leave me alone, will you? I'm not listening to you anymore This isn't the voice scouts you know Now you can't just quit simply because you disagree with us We're from different tribes sergeant 2 completely different worlds. You don't understand mine, yet you force me to accept yours. Your whole world is is 4 walls and some bunks. I think you've lost touch with life.
83:26
Your whole bag is death. My whole bag is defending my country. I don't equate militarism with patriotism. I can't. I'm never gonna carry a gun, and I won't kill anybody.
83:44
And that's where it's at, isn't it? Not quite. I carry guns, and I've killed men simply so that you and I can sit here and talk like this. And death is still a common denominator Okay Why haven't you left yet? Why didn't you take 1st bus out again?
84:18
I don't know. I'm scared, And not of what you people can do to me either. It's just that I'm confused. I always thought I knew my own head. You know, it's like I I know what I left back there is wrong, but I'm not so sure that running away is the right thing to do.
84:45
Well, then why don't you go back? Sergeant, I knew what that camp is and what it represents, and there's not a thing I can do to change it. Anyway, I'm only one guy. I I can't fight all of you. Then why don't you leave?
85:18
Let's go buy your uniform back. You get out of that graduation uniform, you get into your dungarees. Aye aye, sir. Just hold it right there, prime. Snap doo, clown.
85:53
They drink. Listen, buddy. Looks like your boy ain't graduating. His orders have been changed. He's been sent back to a motivation platoon.
86:10
That's impossible. He's graduating tomorrow. I passed him. Well, I guess the CO didn't. Failure to qualify on the wife arranged, I think it says there.
86:19
This idea was Just, don't give me an ecstatic note, Drake here, because you're in enough trouble already, boy. Alright? It's the kid you're after, isn't it, De Poyster? It's not for the corps. You want him.
86:33
Boy, I wanna pretend I didn't hear you say that. Alright, sweetheart. Lady, you're in my hands now, and I'm gonna start you at the beginning, the very beginning, girl. And if you don't get it perfect, I'm gonna set your tail back and we're gonna start it all over again. You're slouching, lady.
87:07
You're still slouching, lady. I said you're slouching, lady. Alright, boss. Now you get in there and you get your gear together and prepare to move out. Now move.
87:26
Aye aye, sir. Boy, everything I do is for the corps, and don't you forget it. Hey, Drake. How's it going? Waiting for your new herd of ladies.
88:37
Yeah. Yeah. Hey, listen. About the other night. Help.
88:45
I'm sorry. Okay? Yeah. I mean, I mean, you and me, we shouldn't, flop the handle like that. Come on.
88:54
Maybe the club tonight was a meatball. I'll skin you a lot. Oh, by the way, about that hippie. Adrian? Yeah.
89:00
Well, whatever his name was, he he went over the hill last night. Man, I sure hate to be in his shoes when they catch him. You know, I knew all along you was wasting your time, Drake. He just didn't know what it takes. My name is Drake, d r a k e, gunnery sergeant Drake.
89:39
I will be your mother, your father, your legal guardian, and your sister for the entire period. You are here at Marine Corps Recruit Depot. You will be treated like a man or you act like a man. And at all times, you will maintain the fact that you are United States Marine boot. Is that clear?
