are we shooting people, or what?
that's what i'm asking you.
i don't know the answer. that's what i'm trying to find out.
"gettin' bugged drivin' up and down the same old strip, gotta find a new place where the kids are hip, i get around --"
for twenty.
you're lucky you got to see anybody shot in this war.
accept no substitute, this is the real thing, oh, jesus --
i got a really bad headache all of a sudden--
and i'm proud i to be an american, where at least i know i'm free. and i won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. and i'd gladly stand up; next to you and defend her still today. cause there ain't no doubt i love this land, god bless the u s a --
rahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
rahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
it's cool, no one's gonna hurt you --
you're making them all hysterical.
what is your fucking problem, conrad?
sir? we need you to disrobe like all the other towel heads, ok?
there's a document in that guy's ass, conrad.
it wouldn't come out perfect like that if he ate it.
go get it, private.
open it up.
i'm sorry i don't have another, but you gotta open it up. that's how the chain of command works.
important enough to squeeze your cheeks for.
you've washed your hands like a thousand times, conrad.
he's a good kid.
he's got no high school, man, he's from a group home in jackson --
the point is, conrad, 'towel head' and 'camel jockey' are perfectly good substitutes.
got any vicadan?
excellent. let's translate my iraqi ass map.
van meter's at the big pow wow?
would you take those fucking things off?
they don't work during the day and stand outside the tent.
what's inside?
silver lexus convertible.
yes, they do.
you're wrong.
if i get enough rolexes i could buy one when i got home.
my one problem, see, is the risk here --
tell me about it.
he could put a land mine in your path if we try to find this place --
cuz you have a galactic plutonium forcefield.

much closer to karbala.
gold bricks.
what about the risk of taking a humvee and all that --
wow.

i gave you a better arc, doc.
i threw the ball in a higher arc that was easier for you to hit.
stop speaking right now, conrad.

we can all agree there are many excellent black quarterbacks.
shit.

'if you could, help me rhonda, help help me rhonda --'

i'm not ashamed of liking the beach boys. it calms me down. better than mozart.
shit.
freeze.
ya -- ya -- ha --
no. we look for the gold.
kill him now.
i don't even know what happened back there. civilians were spitting on their own soldiers; the soldiers were shooting the civilians and ignoring us --
it's a war inside the same country, conrad. that's a civil war.
i can't do this, ok? because i've got a family and if i shit in a bag the rest of my life cuz i got shot after the war's already over that would be pretty fucking stupid, wouldn't it?
what the fuck are you talking about?
did you hear anything i said.
what is this bullshit?
we could've been shot.
ok. and i'll be wearing fashionable kevlar. as a necessity.
drop your weapon.

ok, i'll call u-haul in karbala to see what they have on the lot today.
conrad, we need a trailer --
yeah, we got it.
yeah, it's a lot.
'little deuce coupe with a fiat head mill, she'll walk a thunderbird like it's standin' still --'
'she'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored --'
'she's my little deuce coupe --'

let's take the truck.
archie, let's stick to the plan, sir. the plan is for gold, right?
no, we can't. it's not what we're here for.
jesus christ, we can't save everybody.
what's happening?
no.
there's no room.
what the fuck happened to necessity?
not for me.

i'm gonna be fine, honey, i don't want you to worry, i tried to do something for the family, and i want you to know --
that i love you.

what did they train you in?
great.
i don't know.
right.
so why are you doing this to me?
it's not just a job, it still matters what you do.
it still matters what you do, what you're doing right now matters.
the art of war is not for killing people, it's a stratagem to give life to many with minimum violence, minimum --
worse than death --
don't --
your son wouldn't be dead if saddam didn't invade kuwait.
i heard about some bad shit that happened there.
who's got the sick country?
too much bombing is crazy, but not saving kuwait.
yes.
you invaded another country. you can't do that.
it makes the world crazy. you got to keep it stable.
no, for stability. stabilize the region.
where's conrad?
how are we getting back?
you got a rolls?
hey. that's a convertible.

what are you doing here?
all right. you're all right.
how's your girl?
all right. excellent. how can we help?
i'm calm. don't i look calm?
we're gonna work it out. we can do it. we have to work it out.
ok, you choose who we take. you tell the others it's not convenient, they'll have to die.
you think i don't know what i'm saying. i know what i'm saying. we're gonna do more than steal, that's what i'm saying. we're gonna help these people out.
