Black Hawk Down Page #2

I'd keep my eye on that queen

before counselling others.

Well, she's just lying in wait.

Yikes.

It's good. You're really improving.

If I may make a suggestion... Observation.

Go ahead.

-It's a children's book, right?

-Right.

They are not supposed to scare

the living sh*t out of the children.

This is the part of the story

where our knight is slaying the dragon.

That's scary.

Besides, my daughter loves this stuff.

Thought you finished that last week.

You done?

Hey, we are at the 10-yard line here, men.

You understand?

Can you count? One, two, ten.

Okay? Where are my running backs?

Where are my running backs?

Hey, I didn't see you at church on Sunday.

You had something more important to do?

Not on Sunday, you don't. Not anymore.

I will make you believe, you understand?

Pretty funny, hoo-ah?

It was a good impression.

I recognize myself.

All right, carry on.

-I'd like a word, specialist.

-Sir.

You understand why we have

a chain of command, don't you?

Roger that, sir.

If you ever undermine me again,

you'll clean latrines with your tongue...

...till you taste no difference

between sh*t and French fries.

-Are we clear?

-Hoo-ah, sir.

All right.

Listen to this:

If one skinny kills another his clan owes

the dead guy's clan a hundred camels.

A hundred camels.

Camels. I wouldn't pay one camel.

Must be a lot of f***ing camel debt.

Is that really true, Lieutenant?

Ask Sgt. Eversmann. He likes skinnies.

Sgt. Eversmann,

you really like the skinnies?

It's not that I like them or I don't like them.

I respect them.

See, what you guys fail to realize

is the sergeant is a bit of an idealist.

He believes in this mission

down to his bones. Don't you, Sergeant?

Look, these people, they have no jobs...

...no food, no education, no future.

I just figure that, I mean,

we have two things that we can do.

We can help...

...or we can sit back and watch

the country destroy itself on CNN.

Right?

I don't know about you guys,

but I was trained to fight.

Are you trained to fight, Sergeant?

Well, I think I was trained

to make a difference, Kurth.

Like the man said, he's an idealist.

Oh, wait. This is my favourite part.

Stay away from the cans!

Die, gas-pumper!

Stay away from those cans!

No, no, stay back.

He's having a seizure.

Put something in his mouth.

John, it's okay. John, it's okay. It's okay.

Well, he'll be fine. But not in this army.

He's out of the game.

He's epileptic, going home.

I'm putting you in charge of his chalk.

-You got a problem with that?

-No, sir.

It's a big responsibility.

Your men will look to you

to make the right decisions.

They're lives depend on it.
