:12:05
Read the bottom line again, please,
but read it right to left...
:12:08
and every other letter.
:12:18
E-X--
:12:21
- X-E.
- X-E.
:12:24
X-E, ma'am.
:12:26
Ma'am, I know how this looks.
:12:28
I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
I really am...
:12:30
but army and navy
requires 20/20 vision.
:12:32
Oh, I-- It's not a problem
with my eyes. I mean, I can see.
:12:36
I mean, I can hit a running rabbit
with a $3.00 pistol.
:12:38
I got a problem with letters,
that's all.
:12:39
Well, maybe after some schooling,
you could come back
and take the test again.
:12:43
No, I had schooling.
I mean, the teachersjust
never knew what to make of it.
:12:46
It'sjust letters.
I mix 'em up sometimes. That's all.
:12:48
I mean, I just get 'em
backward sometimes.
:12:52
Look here. My math and spacial reasoning
and my verbal scores are all excellent.
:12:56
But you barely passed
the written exam.
:12:58
Yeah, but he did pass it.
So is it my turn now?
:13:00
- No, you'll wait your turn.
- Yes, ma'am.
:13:02
Ma'am, I'm never gonna be
an English teacher.
:13:06
But I know why I'm here:
to be a pilot.
:13:10
And you don't dogfiight with manuals.
You don't fly with gauges.
:13:13
It is all about feeling and speed...
:13:14
and lettin' that plane become
like a part ofyour body.
:13:16
And that manual says that a guy who's
a slow reader can't be a good pilot.
:13:20
That fiile says
I'm the best pilot in this room.
:13:25
Ma'am, please,
don't take my wings.
:13:32
Well, I felt so bad.
:13:34
Evelyn, rotate to station three.
:13:36
I had no choice.
:13:38
I passed him.
:13:41
So then this cocky pilot
comes back.
:13:44
- Say, fella, are you enlisted?
- Yeah.
:13:46
""Yeah''?
Boy, you're talking to an offiicer.
:13:48
- Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
- Give me that fiile.
:13:50
- Yes, sir.
- Parade rest.
:13:52
Yes, sir.
:13:53
Ma'am, I didn't get
a chance to thankyou.
:13:55
Drop your skivvies.
:13:57
Oh. Okay.
