LLindsay

[walks over] Hey, what are y'all celebrating?

PBPFC Brian Day

[points to Trevor] This man just made Sergeant.

LLindsay

[flirtatiously] Ooooh. Well, does the sergeant speak for himself? [reaches hand out] Hi, I'm Lindsay. What's your name?

[shakes hand] I'm Trevor.

LLindsay

Tell me more, Sergeant Trevor, I'm very interested.

[cuts in while Trevor drinks from his bottle, smiles at Lindsay] He's very married! [jokingly to Trevor] You're in big trouble, Mister!

[Trevor laughs and follows her out]

[to Lindsay] Hey, I'm not married.

LLindsay

Oh yeah? What are you?

Private First Class Brian Day, at your service.

LLindsay

Private? [scoffs] As if!

[Sailors sitting behind PFC Day laugh]

PPetty Officer

Guess the lady knows dog meat when she smells it.

[A fight breaks out between PFC Day and the sailors. Trevor and his friends drag PFC Day out through the back door.]

[in amazement] The Hump is officially banned!

[Pamela catches Katie looking at herself in the mirror.]

Whatcha doin?

I'm fat.

[surprised] What?

I'm a fat cow!

Katie! Stop it! You are not!

KKate

You have to say that. You're my mom!

What I see is a young lady who is healthy and strong and looks great just the way she is. Now get dressed and come downstairs for breakfast.

I'm not hungry.

You have to eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

[retorts] If it's so important why do you just drink coffee in the morning?

[at a loss for words] ....because mommies are all grown up and they can do what they want.

Michael, I am so sorry but what could we do? She's a nut!

Yeah. Faulty intell. I thought she was just a doddering old lady. Turns out she's the merry widow.

She needs armed escort, not us.

Just get her to that ceremony tomorrow and she'll be out of our hairs. [turns to walk back to his office]

[glumly] Easy for you to say.

[smiles] That's why I'm the general.

[confronts PFC Day who is mopping the floor as punishment and angrily kicks his bucket] What's going on with you?

Nothin'.

Nothing? You're pulling extra duty for missing formation. You've been insubordinate. And what about last night, huh? Letting those squids get underneath your skin? Throwing the first punch?! [sarcastically] Right. Nothing's going on.

So what? I'm not some hotshot soldier like you.

Are you deliberately trying to sabotage your career? Because if you are, you're doing a hell of a job!

What do you know about it, huh?! You don't know nothing about me!

So tell me.

Forget it. Guys like you had it easy your whole life. You don't understand. You don't understand how–– [goes back to mopping the floor] Forget it.

[Trevor smirks as he turns to leave]

Did I say something funny?!

Don't understand, huh? My mom died when I was three. The next day in between beers my father dropped me off with social workers. And I was in and out of foster homes till I was seven.

I'd kick my old man's ass for that.

Yeah, I didn't have the chance. He's in prison doing life for murder.
