in my house again.

Now, take this away!

What's going on?

Nothing.

What do you mean,

nothing?

Nothing, Dad. O.K.?

You're out of bounds, guys.

Back inside.

Come on, Kovic, back inside.

Come on, Kovic.

Go, Ronnie.

Kovic, back inside.

Come on, Kovic.

Back inside.

Let's go.

I want to see

some explosion!

Come on, Ronnie!

No messing around!

You're great, Ronnie!

You're great, Ronnie!

Stay with him!

Come on down!

All right!

O.K. Get off

the mat.

You're going

to get...

Get him! Get him!

Get him! Get him!

Reversal.

2 points!

All right!

Oh, yes, yes, yes,

yes, yes!

Ohh, you!

One, red!

You're both up.

All right, fresh start.

Fresh start.

Stand up.

Don't let him get you!

Don't

let him get you!

Pull him out!

All right!

Watch those legs.

Watch him!

Get him down!

Don't let him get the neck!

No! No!

No!

You can beat him,

Ronnie!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie!

Bridge! Bridge!

You can win!

Don't give up!

Aah!

Oh, no!

O.K., son?

Oh, no.

Come on. Get up.

Attention!

Forward march!

Left, left.

Left, right, left.

Seats!

Good morning.

I am Gunnery

Sergeant Hayes.

This is

Sergeant Bowers.

United States Marine Recruiting Station,

Levittown, New York.

We are here today

at the request of your principal

Mr Richards

and other members

of the faculty

to tell you a little bit

about the Marine Corps.

First off,

young men,

let's get

one thing straight.

Not everybody becomes

United States Marines.

We want the best,

and we'll accept nothing

but the best,

because there

is nothing prouder,

nothing finer, nothing

standing as straight

as a United States Marine.

Now, they've got the Army.

They got the Navy.

They got

the Air Farce.

And if you want

to join them,

be my guest.

But if you want

a challenge...

if you want to try

something difficult...

if you want to try to

achieve the impossible...

you try 13 weeks of hell

at Parris Island,

South Carolina,

and you'll find out

if you got what it takes.

You'll find out

if you really are a man,

then the Marines may be

what you're looking for.

Tarawa...

Iwo Jima...

Belleau Wood...

the frozen

Chosin Reservoir.

First to fight.

We have never lost a war.

We have always come when

our country's called us.

Now, Sergeant Bowers and I

would like to open this up

to questions.

So if any of you young men

do have questions,

go ahead

and raise your hands.

Come on, now.

Don't be afraid.

Don't forget, a good

Marine's a thinking Marine.

Billy Vorsovich, sir.

When would I get to wear

a uniform like you?

You can be wearing this

in 13 weeks.

Go! Go!

Go, Massapequa!

Go! Go! Go!

- Yay!

- Yay!

Hi, Donna.
