Cultural Perspectives on Gender Roles in Dialogue

Boone Where may I ask, is my coffee? I always start my day with a cup of coffee.

Little Bear Cook? Like a woman! You are a woman!

Omri Oh, please. You guys are so old fashioned.

Boone I'll have you know I'm a civilized man. Unlike some!

[''looks at Little Bear'']

An Officer and a Gentleman

Facing Reality in Military Aspirations

Lynette Pomeroy Oh, Sid, let's do it right now! I wonder where we'll get stationed? I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!

[after Sid asks her to marry him]

Sid Worley Honey, we're not being stationed anywhere. I DOR-ed.

Lynette You what?

Worley I DOR-ed. I wasn't cut out to be a pilot. I was faking it. I've been faking everything up to now.

Lynette But what'll we do? Where would we go?

Worley Oklahoma. I'll get my old job back at JC Penney's. Hell, in two years, I'll be floor manager. You're going to love Oklahoma! You and mama will get along great. Money might be tight, so we'll live at home. It's going to work out.

Lynette Sid, there's no baby.

Worley What?

Lynette I'm not pregnant. I got my period this morning. There's no baby, Sid.

Worley I'll be god-damned. What do you say we get married anyway? I love you! I don't think I really knew that till just now, just this second. I have never been happier in my life than I have in the last seven weeks. I've never felt so relaxed, and I've never felt so loved for who I really am. Lynette, marry me. Make me the happiest man in the whole world.

Lynette I'm sorry, Sid, but I don't want to marry you. I really like you. We've had ourselves some really great times, but I thought you understood. I want to marry a pilot. I want to live my life overseas, the wife of an aviator. Damn you! God damn you! Nobody DORs after 11 weeks! Nobody!

Jack Murdock I don't work for you no more, Fallon.

Fallon Jack, you never stopped. Did you really think you won all those fights on your own? You're forty-two years old! Miller, Mack, Bendis, they're all my fighters... just like you. And now it's your turn to take a fall. Think about your boy, Jack. I'm sure you'll do the right thing.

The Two Jakes

Lines Drawn in Morality and Disappointment

Jake Gittes I wouldn't extort a nickel from my worst enemy. That's where I draw the line.

Det. Lt. Loach Well, I'll tell you, Jake. I knew a whore once. For the right amount of money, she'd piss in a guy's face. But she wouldn't shit on his chest. You see, that's where she drew the line.

Jake Gittes Well, Junior, all I can say is: I hope she wasn't too much of a disappointment to you.

An Officer and a Gentleman

Desperation Among Friends in Crisis

Lionel Perryman Shit. I am not going to make it. Help me out, Sid. You got a spare, man?

[takes out a belt buckle]

Sid Worley My spare sucks. You know where the hardware store is.

Perryman Zack, I need a buckle, man.

Zack Mayo I can't risk it.

Perryman You still have plenty of time, man. He's still up with the girls.

Mayo Can't do it.

Perryman Hey Zack, I got to see my family, man. I couldn't take it if he didn't let me out of here this weekend.

Mayo Wouldn't want you to get an honor violation, Perryman.

Perryman Okay.

Worley Attention on deck!

[as Foley enters]

Gunnery Sgt. Emil Foley In every class, there's always one joker who thinks that he's smarter than me. In this class, it happens to be you, isn't it, Mayo-naise? Perryman, Worley, let us have this room. On the double.

[pokes the ceiling tile above Mayo's bunk, revealing his contraband]

Perryman Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Worley Stow it!

Foley Mayo, I want your DOR.

Mayo No, sir. You can kick me out of here, but I ain't quitting.

Foley Get into your fatigues, Mayo. By the end of this weekend, you'll quit.

An Officer and a Gentleman

Consequences of Personal Struggles in Training

Zack Mayo What's going on. You didn't kick him out? Hey, wait a minute. Did he tell you what he's been going through?

[sees Foley off-boarding Worley]

Gunnery Sgt. Emil Foley It doesn't matter what he's been going through. That's the whole purpose of this zoo. What does matter is that he freaked out for some reason at 25,000 feet, and that can't happen, ever!

Mayo You don't understand, sir. He's got a girl in town. She's pregnant. She's put him through hell!

Sid Worley It don't matter. That don't matter.

Mayo Don't matter? What do you mean? You've got two weeks left. You're out just like that?

Foley It can still happen to you too, Mayo-naise.

Worley He ain't bullshitting you, buddy.

Mayo I'm talking to you, motherfucker!

[to Foley]

Worley Don't fuck it up for you, man!

Foley What did you call me?

Mayo I thought the DIs were supposed to help everybody out around here. What kind of human being are you?

Foley You better lock it up, boy. You're gonna be going home with him!

Worley Zack, go back to the barracks, please.

Mayo I don't get this. He's the best candidate in the class, the best student, best leader, the best friend to everybody. Can't you bend your god-damned rules for once?

Worley Zack, he didn't ask me to DOR. I went to him.

The Lords of Discipline

Conversations on Trust and Acceptance

Tradd St. Croix If you ask me it's the General's fault for letting somebody like that in. Or Poteete's father! Now he should've known that the guy was unbalanced.

Will McLean Yeah, it's just something that he said... Tradd, you wouldn't let Pearce in here, would you?

[''After a brief silence, Will looks at Tradd'']

Tradd St. Croix Not unless he was coming to cut the grass. Will, I don't have anything against Pearce. It's just the way things are. The way they've always been.

Will McLean What are you looking for?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Fly shit in sugar.... there.

Will McLean God-almighty-damn.

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau He ain't here to fry chicken or mow the lawn. Nigger's joining the long gray line.

Will McLean Yeah, for about one night, till the Corps of Cadets finds out a, a-

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Yeah. A pickaninny, a jigaboo, a coon. Why not plain old nigger? He's gonna hear em all, and worse, by tomorrow.

Will McLean Well, what do you want with me? Bear, you're the Commandant of Cadets, it's your job to-

[''The Bear looks pointedly at him'']

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau It's not my job to play favorites. No, it's gonna have to be a cadet who runs interference for Mr. Pearce.

Will McLean Yeah, but interference against the whole Corps?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau If that's what it takes.

Will McLean Oh, Bear... Colonel, are you a racist?

[''Turns away, then looks back at the Bear'']

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Yeah. I'm a racist. I'd like nothin better than to see Mr. Pearce move his black ass right outta here.

Will McLean Well, then why not let im get pushed?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Because from now on Pearce is one of my lambs, and all of my lambs get an even break.

Will McLean Yeah, but puttin my neck out for-

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Who looked out for you when you were a screw-up knob?

Will McLean Well, you did.

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Who saw something in you besides arrogance? Who made you into a cadet?

Will McLean Bear, you did.

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Bubba, I'm calling my marker due.

The Ten Never Sleep

Will McLean Bear, what's the Ten?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau Well, Bubba, when I was a cadet here, back before the beginning of time...

Will McLean Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau That's right, Bubba. Well, they'd say that the Corps sleeps, the cadre sleeps. But the Ten, they don't never sleep.

Will McLean And what's the Hole?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau They say that's where the Ten take you, if you've crossed the Institute in thought, word, or deed. They take you on a ride, and you go down the Hole. Deep into the bowels of the Earth. Into hellfire. And even if you came out alive, you'd wish you was dead.

Will McLean Bear, is the Hole a real place?

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau I don't know, Bubba. Is Hell a real place?

Will McLean I don't know.

Lieutenant Colonel "The Bear" Berrineau I don't know either, Bubba, but I sure as hell don't want to go there, you know what I mean?

Det. Lt. Loach So, either you were doing business with Mickey, or, uh...

Jake Gittes Or what?
