:12:01
So I expect I'll do
some teaching at V.M.I.
:12:04
I will recon the local restaurants
in a concerted effort...
:12:07
to find out what civilians eat.
:12:11
Of course, I intend to continue
serving my country...
:12:14
by honorably depleting
the trout streams...
:12:16
of the Southern United States
with my fly rod!
:12:21
That's about it.
:12:27
Let's get outta here.
:12:33
- I missed you.
- Yeah, I missed you too.
:12:37
How's the kid,
the smart Hodges?
:12:39
You know, he studies more than
any two people. I never see him.
:12:43
- You gotta fix that.
- Yeah.
:12:48
- Got my orders.
- Oh, yeah? What?
:12:50
Got command of the 24th
Marine Expeditionary Unit.
:12:54
- Special Operations capable.
- Congrats. Huh! Congrats.
:12:58
- Yeah.
- Outstanding.
:13:00
All I gotta do is lash
'em together, take 'em to sea.
:13:04
That's, uh... outstanding.
:13:08
You ain't missin' nothin', Hodge.
It's a whole new ball game.
:13:12
No friends, no enemies,
no front, no rear.
:13:15
No victories, no defeats,
no Mama, no Papa.
:13:17
- Yeah.
- We're orphans out there.
:13:20
It's funny, you know?
:13:22
One guy walks out through a swamp,
he gets to come home to a desk.
:13:25
Another guy drives up a hill
and he gets to still be doin' it,
:13:27
all over the flip
ofa goddamn coin.
:13:29
You know, that's...
:13:33
It's funny.
:13:36
You gave good service
to the corps, Hodge.
:13:39
To think otherwise
would be just plain crazy.
:13:43
- You'd have gotten your command.
- Oh, yeah, sure.
