That could be you at the end of

You don't deserve to look at them!

Della Serra, turn you back!

You are without a doubt

the most pathetic class

I've ever been assigned to!

You big chump. Four weeks, and you

still can't shine a damn buckle.

Shoot me a Kotex, buddy.

Be careful where you stick that.

- Five minutes to inspection, Mayo.

- Where's your money?

Boonies.

You better hope Foley

never finds out about that.

Hey, Perryman.

Look what I got here, man.

Look at that. Look at them buckles.

Look good, huh?

Who's got 10 bucks?

I spend every penny keeping

my old lady and kid in that motel.

You're breaking my heart, Perryman.

Who's doing this for you?

Some enlisted guy, right?

- Hey, tell me something.

- Watch the sheets, man.

Is that piss-ass piece of change

you're making

worth all of us getting kicked out

of here on an honors violation?

I don't see anybody else

complaining about it, Perryman.

Excuse me.

Ready? Go!

Look out, Worley, coming through.

- The hell you say, son.

- Here I come.

I'm putting my name on that wall.

Underneath mine.

F***!

Give me the rope!

Sh*t!

God damn, Mayonnaise!

Piece of cake.

Let's go! Come on, Schneider!

Come on, Schneider!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Kick ass!

Let's go!

You guys are bringing up the rear!

You ain't getting out of here

till you get over that wall, Seeger!

- I'll make it, sir!

- Hurry up!

Come on. Get over there!

You really want to be a man, Seeger?

You one of those girls didn't

get enough of daddy's attention

cos he really wanted a son, Seeger?

That's it. That's what'll

beat you every time, Seeger...

your mental attitude

is that of a female.

Deep down under all that bullshit

you're still thinking like

a second-class citizen, aren't you?

You can never give orders to men!

Walk around.

Walk around, sugar britches.

Bernoulli's equation gives us

the total amount of energy

contained in the air flow.

"P" is static pressure

in pounds per square foot.

"RHO" is air density

in slugs per cubic foot,

and velocity is in feet per second.

Let's see them.

What about the buckles?

OK. All right. 20 bucks, right?

Hey, bud.

Beat it.

What are you laughing about?

- I thought that's how you did it.

- Did what?

Come on, Santy Claus.

You won't tell anybody, will you?

Not if you make it worth my while.

Free boonies for the duration.

That's fair.

Tell you what...

you get me through aerodynamics,

you can write your own ticket,

my friend.

You got a deal.

George Jones, where are you

when we need you most?

Hey, 2:
00. Moving in. Della Serra.

Radar's up. Scoping the target area.

Zero in. Slick it back.

Who'll be the lucky Deb?

Is it the blonde? The brunette?
