1 quoteFacing 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!
