(crickets chirping)
(door opens)
(door closes)
So, you're probably thinking right now,
"What the f*** have I gotten myself into?"
I understand that.
When I was your age, I
was getting in trouble.
When I was your age, I
started getting arrested.
I know what it's like to f*** up.
I know what it's like
Everybody in this room...
they care.
They're gonna dog you,
But no one here
is gonna f***ing break, you understand?
Cadets:
Sir, yes, sir!I know this boot camp
program. I believe in it.
And I want the world to see
the importance of this program.
I want the world to see how
powerful this program is.
Show you something.
(camera shutter clicks)
Look at this.
That's your new life.
That's what you look like.
You may not be able to see it right now.
You can't visualize it in your
head, but the day is gonna come,
and it's gonna come like
that... (snaps fingers)
where it's graduation.
- You understand?
- Cadets:
Sir, yes, sir!No quitting.
Stay strong...
and don't f*** this thing up.
I mean that.
(music playing)
His charges are very serious.
He's facing up to life in prison.
Man:
You're going intothe boot camp program
as an alternative to
20 years in prison.
We don't have many second chances,
but you've been granted one.
Don't squander this opportunity
because there will be no other.
Man:
When you get to boot camp,it's gonna be the
shock of your life.
We are gonna beat that demon out of you
that had you on the
streets committing crimes.
(siren wailing)
(door opens)
(brakes squeaking)
- (all shouting)
- Let's go!
Welcome to Miami-Dade County Boot Camp!
(overlapping voices)
Let them off! Let's go!
- Get them off!
- Move, move, move!
Hurry up! Get off the bus!
- Hurry up!
- (shouting continues)
Do not freakin' eyeball me, you understand?
- I say something, you say something!
- Yes, sir! Aye, sir!
- That's a freaking, "Aye, sir!"
- Yes, sir!
Aye, sir! Aye, sir!
Officer:
I say something, yousay something. Don't look at me!
(door buzzes)
Officer:
Get them out.Quickly, let's go! I said...
Go! Let's go, let's go!
Today! Let's go! Every... hey, let's go!
- Hurry up! Come on, let's go!
- Officer:
Get them off!(shouting continues)
This is not easy.
It is not personal.
We have one mission and one mission only.
That's to take you from boys to men.
Somebody your mama can be proud of,
somebody your daddy can be proud of.
You're gonna cry sometime tonight.
You're gonna sweat some tears, trust me.
Your body ain't gonna be able to
take what we're gonna dish out.
I already know it.
You tried it your way all this time.
Look how far it got you.
This is where your way got you.
If you want different results,
you gotta do different things.
If you want the same
results, do the same thing!
- On your feet!
- Cadets:
Sir, yes, sir!Officer:
10, nine,eight, seven, six,
five, four, three, two, and one.
Cadets:
Sir, yes, sir!Fall in, fall in, fall in. Give
me two lines, give me two lines.
Break off and give me
another line in the front.
Let's go.
Officer:
If you stillgot the street mentality,
hey, you ain't gonna
freaking make it in here.
You're not gonna freaking
make it by yourself.
You need friggin' teamwork to make
it through this friggin' program.
If you ain't got no friggin' teamwork,
you better find some real quick.
- Do you understand that?
- Cadets:
Sir, yes, sir!(vocalizing commands)
Officer:
Right face!For those of you who haven't met me,
I am your primary drill instructor,
Officer Drill Instructor Fouquet.
- You understand that, trash?
- Cadets:
Ma'am, yes, ma'am!I'ma also go ahead and
introduce Corporal Hodge
and Drill Instructor Officer Lopez.
Platoon, attention!
Everybody get into push-up position.
Cadets:
Aye, sir.Lopez:
Every time youstinking freaking move
at the position of attention,
you're gonna go freaking pay for it.
- Down!
- Cadets:
Discipline.- Up!
- Two, sir.
- Down!
- Discipline.
- Louder!
- Three, sir.
- Get on up.
- Aye, sir.
Five, four, three, two, and freaking one.
Yes, sir.
Now, I highly recommend
you do not move
at the position of attention
or you're gonna do push-up after
darn push-up till you explode.
- You understand me?
- Sir, yes, sir!
Why are you moving?
Didn't I tell you at
the position of attention
You... you can have a...
you can smile if you want.
You can smile if you want.
If you want, I'll put the
cuffs on you right now.
Now, you want that, it's on stinkin' you.
So go ahead and stinking smile again.
Smile again!
- (Fouquet shouting)
- How many years are you facing?
- He wanna freaking die like that?
- Get him out of the squad room.
We don't need him. Get
him out of the squad room.
Does anybody else wanna
go back to freaking jail?
- Cadets:
Sir, no, sir.- Good. I hope you're inspired.
Hodge:
Dukes, you don'twanna be here no more?
Do we need to call the paddy wagon?
I'm talking to you.
Hello? I'm talking to you.
Sir, I wanna leave, but then...
and then I don't wanna leave.
Hodge:
You can't have both.Either you're gonna be here
or you're freaking rolling up out of here.
Guess what. You think all them
other cadets up there wanna be there?
I'm pretty sure they freaking don't.
Instead of doing four months of boot camp,
you'd rather go to prison?
Tell me, what's different in prison?
You're gonna eat when they
tell you to friggin' eat.
You're gonna go to freaking rec
or whatever the freak you gonna do
when they tell you to do it.
It's not gonna be at your freaking leisure.
Everything gonna be on
they freaking agenda.
Nothing on your freaking agenda.
You understand that, right?
- Sir, yes, sir.
- All right.
So, you need a moment
to get yourself together,
'cause I can tell you right now
you're not going nowhere, Dukes,
so you might as well put
your little game face on
and do what the freak you gotta do.
- It's real simple.
- (sniffles) Sir, yes, sir.
All right, get to the end of the hall.
- Aye, sir.
- Aye, sir.
Hodge:
He just goingthrough that thing
that all the cadets go
through initially...
that shock of incarceration,
of all the yelling and the screaming,
and they're not used to
conforming to that environment.
Cadets:
Sir, yes, sir!I wanna welcome you to Miami-Dade
County Boot Camp program.
You had no discipline
in the streets.
You didn't have a job,
you didn't go to school,
disrespected your community.
So, now things are gonna change.
There's nothing easy about
the freaking boot camp program.
Why don't you take a seat?
Hodge:
They never getto talk during a meal.
They don't do nothing but
sit down and eat their food.
Once they're done eating, they're
back awaiting their next command.
(chatter)
(shouting)
Aye, sir!
Aye, sir!
A lot of you guys still
got trash on my deck
