Top.

I've had enough of you.

You're doing good, though, Horvath.

You're tough.

Cold, ugly, tough.

You're pushin' it.

Button it up, a**hole.

- What'd you do, hit an officer?

- Flyboy major in a bar.

Over a woman?

No, he kept bustin' off about

our advisor policy in Central America.

I told him I didn't wanna hear any more,

he kept talkin', I dropped him.

- Why didn't you just walk away?

- You get them stripes from walking away?

There you go, Sergeant.

His name is Henke.

Here's his papers. You got orders,

per diem and tickets in there.

You got a MAC flight out of here,

commercial out of Frankfurt.

Turn him over to the provost marshal

at Belvoir. He is all yours.

Give me the keys.

If I were you, I'd keep

the cuffs on that prick, Sarge.

- You ain't him, shithead.

- Timmons, leave it alone.

- Forget it.

- Any time.

- Hold it, hold it!

- Goddamn!

Get the f*** outta here.

Yeah, that's right, get outta here.

Your mother's callin' you.

A**hole.

Damn.

You're quick, Top.

Well, enough.

Is this your wallet?

Give me that.

Get in there.

Jesus Christ.

Man, you're somethin', pal.

You ought to be

a master sergeant by now.

- How many times you been busted?

- I don't know.

"I don't know." Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Oh, man.

How long you figure before you're

back in the sh*t someplace, Johnny?

Iran, maybe. Libya.

Nicaragua.

Philippines.

Mexico, maybe.

- That's what I signed up to do.

- Right. You're a patriotic individual.

I don't have a problem with that.

You're a mercenary, John.

You're a merc for the country

you were born in. You know it.

You remind me of my dad.

He had this little

body and fender business...

he ran out a shack...

and he had this little American flag

he'd run up on a pole on that shack.

Every day he runs up

the American flag...

and when he died

we had to borrow the money to bury him.

- What's the point?

- The point, John, is...

that the Soviet and American

military-industrial complex...

has the entire flag-waving,

patriotic world right by the balls.

You know that.

What'd you do,

read a book, Walter?

You think I'm full of sh*t,

don't you, John?

I think you're going to prison,

Walter.

- You don't know where I'm goin'.

- What's that supposed to mean?

It's a joke, Sarge.

It's just a joke.

I'll tell you what's not a joke.

For that court-martial, you better wear

those ribbons, cut your hair, shape up...

- Be somebody.

- That's right.

Be all you can be.

Oh, Jesus.

Be okay with you if I call my wife?

She lives in Arlington.

Does she know

you're coming home a prisoner?

Wouldn't surprise her any.

Yeah, it's okay.

- Got a quarter?

- Oh, Jesus.

Yeah.

Sh*t.

B*tch.

Says she thought I was dead,
