Good Kill Page #2

used to say,

"Get your retaliation in first."

What's up?

Can you get me in a plane, sir?

- You not hear what I was just saying?

- No, I heard you. I was just...

They're yanking you jet jockeys

out of your kites faster than ever.

I know how you feel. It's like going from

a Ferrari to a Ford Fiesta, but...

You think any of us love flying at 1-G?

All right, I'll see what I can do. Okay?

- Thank you, sir.

- All right.

Not a word, Drier.

I can't have Egan burn out on me.

I need someone

who can fly these f***ing dodos.

How can you feel turbulence hit a plane

7,000 miles away? It's un-f***ing-canny.

Everyone else is trying to act like

they're in a plane in Afghanistan.

Egan f***ing is in a plane

in Afghanistan.

Suarez, go in tighter.

Fuel window closing. Can't wait

for Johnny Jihad to make a pit stop.

No, I can take him on the move.

- Old Predator, Tommy.

- What's the lag?

Latency at 2.2 seconds.

How do you know where he's gonna be

two seconds from now, sir?

You don't throw the ball

where the receiver is.

You throw where he's gonna be.

Lead them by a cross hair.

One Minnesota, two Minnesota...

Isn't it supposed to be Mississippi, sir?

I'm from St. Paul.

Lead them by another half.

We are cleared hot.

Master arm on. Weapon's hot.

Three, two, one, rifle.

Time of flight, 12 seconds.

Yes!

Got them motherfuckers.

Good splash.

- Tarfu.

- Tarfu? What's tarfu, sir?

Totally and royally f***ed up.

And I believe those gentlemen qualify.

Thank you, sir.

So she's looking at me

and I'm looking at her, right?

So, finally I decide I'm gonna go over

and introduce myself to her.

And I say,

"Hi, I'm Captain Joseph Zimmer."

- Nice.

- You know what she says?

She says her name is Anita Mann.

- It's funny.

- Yeah.

Well, she was shitfaced, of course.

At a bar at Mandalay Bay

with five of her girlfriends.

She can't get me upstairs fast enough.

The girl was getting married

the next f***ing day.

Last bachelor party I went to,

I was Dick Burns.

It was either that or Hugh Jorgen.

Classy.

- So, did you volunteer?

- Or were you "volun-told"?

I went willingly.

Yeah, I couldn't wait to sign up.

Come on, battlefields and blackjack?

Every girl's fantasy.

You'?

In my line,

this is the next best thing to Langley.

I applied twice, but I never got past

the background check.

For the life of me,

I don't know what it is.

I don't remember doing anything

that f***ing bad.

I flew cargo, Globemasters.

I might as well be working for UPS.

If you want to be where the action is,

this is the tip of the spear.

I did six tours.

After the last one, I got back from Iraq,

a row of GCS's on the tarmac.

F-16s in mothballs.
