- No, Sergeant.

- Get the f*** up!

Yes, Sergeant.

You got a mouthful

of sh*t, Marine.

Sand, Sergeant.

We need to go.

- Back to the top!

- Yes, Sergeant.

Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

I signed up for Greenpeace.

How the f***

did we wind up here?

F***ing dolphins dying, dude.

We could be saving

the dolphins, man.

You should tell him that

when we're out there.

That's right.

"Sergeant Miller, I signed

up for Greenpeace, sir."

Stay.

Seriously, you're

worse than Johnny.

Stop moving or I will cut you.

- I'm not.

- "I'm-a cut you."

- That was good, right?

- That was pretty good.

All right, come on.

I'll stop f***ing around. Go.

Ow!

Ow!

Okay, stop.

God, you're such a wimp.

I reached out

to undress you

Love let me down

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Hey, are you okay?

- Yeah, I just can't sleep.

I mean, I sleep

but then I'm up, you know?

Just back and forth.

I'll take him today.

You should take him today.

Talk to the teacher.

Kids giving him problems.

Yeah, you need to talk

to the teacher,

and then talk to that one mom.

- Which one? Which one?

- I hate that woman.

The fat kid's mom.

She...

I almost punched her

the other day.

I mean, in my mind

I punched her.

- You're a thug.

- Yeah, that's right.

Your wife's a thug.

- I'm serious. Come on.

- I love you.

Yeah? Say it to my face.

I love you.

You better.

You look good.

You look like a Marine.

Good.

Get out.

You gotta take him.

Yeah.

Let me just get it right here.

Tell that mom!

I see you.

You can't see me from there.

Yeah, I can.

I'm looking right at you.

What are you talking about?

I see you right there.

Nope, still see you.

Now I can't see you,

but if I can't see you,

you can't see me.

Why is that?

I don't know why is that,

it's just the rules.

What are you learning in school?

You learning fun stuff?

We read, do recess,

listen to music, dance.

Rec... What kind of...?

Dancin' around?

That sounds very

arty-fatty to me, bud.

Speak of the devil...

- Dad!

- Oh, no!

What is that!

You'd better get the window, bud.

- I'm gonna die!

- Oh, no!

Oh, no! Marines, clear out!

Medic, man down!

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Is he responding?

Is he responding?

- He's responding.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay!

- What does that mean?

Responding?

No, "man down."

Man down is a military term.

It's what you say when...

one of your boys goes down

or someone gets hurt, or...

Oh.

Let me take a wild guess

of who that is.

Is that him right there?

I'm gonna come in with you

so they don't mess with you.

- No! Please.

Why?

- It's just...

- What are you embarrassed of me?

I can walk from here, really.

I know you can walk from here.
