American Sniper Page #3

Synopsis: Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

How you feeling?

Hooyah! Dangerous. Feeling dangerous.

Hooyah! Kyle's feeling dangerous!

Move!

Take seats!

Yeah! 56 degrees! So fresh, so clean!

Here she comes!

Mother Nature's got something for you!

Only a few more hours

and you're Navy SEALs!

Grease gun, dive knife by my side

TONY".

These are the tools that'll make a man die

These are the tools that'll make a man die

I'm the only one who's hit one, so...

Boom!

Oh, yeah! Chris, your turn, man.

- You got one more.

I got one more? All right.

All right. One more. Here we go.

Hey, we want a smaller target

we'll use your arm, man.

Hello.

Hi.

How you doing?

Good. Thank you.

Can I get you a drink?

Will a drink make you

six inches taller and charming?

Will it make you not married?

I'm not ma-

Yeah, I just watched you

take your ring off, okay?

Don't be a scumbag. Go home.

Oh, my God.

It may have been the leather pants.

Oh, yeah?

What kind of pants does a girl

have to wear to be left alone?

Well, maybe corduroy.

I mean, is that how it is with you guys?

You're suddenly single after three beers?

Oh, no, after three beers

all I know is to get a fourth.

That's great. That's great.

Real redneck.

- Oh, I'm not a redneck, I'm from Texas.

- Mm.

What's the difference?

Well, we ride horses...

...and they ride their cousins.

What do you do for work?

You're obviously military.

Oh, uh, I polish dolphins.

They're in captivity.

What I do is just sort of scrape off

the crustaceans-

Do I look stupid to you?

No, honestly, you look a little sad.

Am I tall enough to buy you a drink?

Not until you tell me what you do.

Okay, how about this. Hey, Greg?

Get two shots?

How about we do a shot for a question.

Every time you ask me a question

that I answer, do a shot.

- Same, vice versa.

- Game on.

You can leave the bottle too.

Okay, shoot.

All right. Ahem.

You're obviously military.

What branch?

I just finished BUD/S,

heading to sniper school.

Are you kidding me? You're a SEAL?

Yes, ma'am.

That's two questions.

- Sh*t.

- Ha, ha.

Really?

Oh, I didn't really mean

you had to do that. Heh.

Okay. Sh*t.

I know all about you guys.

My sister was engaged to a SEAL.

- Oh, was she?

- Yeah.

- Mm.

- Mm-hm.

Hold on, how you know all about us?

What do you mean?

What I mean is, you're a bunch

of arrogant, self-centered pricks...

...who think you can lie and cheat

and do whatever the f*** you want.

I'd never date a SEAL.

Wait, why would you say I'm self-centered?

I'd lay down my life for my country.

Why?

It's the greatest country on Earth.

I'd do everything I can to protect it.

Look, I'm sorry what happened

to your sister, but that's not me.
