(explaining why "women's intuition" is a valid defense) Sir, when we leave this building tonight we'll do it in very different ways. You'll get in your car and drive off.I'll walk out and pay attention to shadows and dark corners. The keys will be in my hand for quick access to my car, and in case I need them for a weapon. I don't give it a second thought because it's standard operating procedure every time I leave every building. Women's intuition isn't a joke, it's a matter of survival!
And if it weren't for her instincts, Ensign Lane would be the one who's dead.
When awkwardness goes to $40 a barrel, I want the drilling rights to Bud's head.
MMac
Aw, Harm, it just takes him a little while to get warmed up.
Warmed up? Love isn't baseball, Mac.
He may still be out there somewhere, Mac.
MMac
Commander Douglas or your father?
Commander Douglas. You think I'm obsessing about my dad since I found that list, don't you?
MMac
No. You were obsessing before you found the list. And you have every right, Harm. Learning the North Vietnamese sent him to Russia only intensified it. I just hope you realize that if we find Commander Douglas, it isn't gonna give you closure with your father.
Only finding my dad will do that.
MMac
Well, you're not alone, Harm. In one way or another, we're all searching for something.
Harm.: Oh yeah? What are you searching for?
MMac
What every woman wants. A great career, a good man, and comfortable shoes, lots and lots of them.
Is that where Dalton Lowne comes in?
MMac
Are you kidding? His shoes are way too big. I mean, have you see the size of that man's feet?
I just hope you're not gonna do something stupid, Mac.
MMac
Why, Harm, are you afraid you're gonna lose me?
I just...hate having to break in new partners, you know?
MMac
You know, for a second there, I thought we were gonna have a Hallmark moment.
You know when the Admiral first told me he was partnering me with a Marine major I had these visions of a tattooed, jarhead, challenging me to arm wrestling at lunch hour.
MMac
Well, I do have a tattoo, I'm a pretty good arm wrestler, and although I don't like the term, I am technically a jarhead.
Harm.: Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up. You have a tattoo? How come I've never seen it? Now, where would one find this... tattoo?
MMac
[back pedaling fast] I'm afraid that's classified information, Commander.
Harm.: Oh yeah? You have a tattoo?
MMac
Do you want this medal, Rivers?
MMac
You know, General Patton once said he would sell his soul for the Medal of Honor.
General Patton wasn't a SEAL. We don't do what we do for the ribbons, ma'am. Men die for their buddies. Others die for their country. And some die for no reason at all. But no one, no one I know, ever died for a medal.
MMac
Do you know what the admiral has me doing? Freedom of Information Act request, student loan recovery, delinquent car loans. And Admiral Drake's wife wants clearance to hold a bingo game at Bethesda.
MMac
Yep. Why am I doing this? Do you have any idea why Admiral Chegwidden is so mad at me?
The same reason we all are, Mac.
I may not like it, but I'm happy for you. And, hell, it's not like you're going to Afghanistan. I mean, you're taking a job in Washington, right? We'll probably be fighting each other in court again next week.
That's because you're a masochist. Hey, don't start crying. If people see the Marines crying, give the Corps a bad name.
MMac
Permission to hug the commander?
Sure. Permission granted.
MMac
I'm gonna miss you, Harm.
I'm gonna miss you too, Sarah. Your ride's here. Nice car.
MMac
Yeah, but it's no Tomcat.
You know, major, I think your talents may be wasted in administrative law.
MMac
I wholeheartedly agree, sir.
Well, shall we start fresh?
MMac
I'd like that. You know, there's something I've always wanted to do.
What's that? (she kisses him on the cheek) You're not gonna do that a lot, are you, major?
