Just what the hell do you think you're doing? Just enjoying the view, sir. Well, you...

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: [approaching Highway] Just what the hell do you think you're doing? Highway: Just enjoying the view, sir. Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Well, you disobeyed an order. I told you to stay in contact and not take this hill without me. Damn it! Get on your feet, Highway! Highway: With all due respect, sir, you're beginning to bore the hell out of me. [sees the helicopter landing and Colonel Meyers getting out] Colonel Meyers: Who's in charge here? Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: I am, sir. Major Malcolm Powers. Colonel Meyers: Did you lead this assault? Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Sir, Leutenant Ring and Gunnery Sergeant Highway disobeyed a direct order. I told them to wait for support but they went up this hill anyway. Colonel Meyers: [to Highway] Why? Highway: We're Marines, sir. We're paid to adapt, to improvise. Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Sir, I gave the order to take this hill. Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Ring, this is going to ruin your career. Colonel Meyers: Are you new to the infantry, Major? Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, sir. Just came over from supply. Colonel Meyers: Were you good at that? Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, sir! Colonel Meyers: Well then, stick to it because you're a walking cluster fuck as an infantry officer. My men are hard chargers, Major! Leutenant Ring and Gunny Highway took a handfull of young fire pissers, exercised some personal initiative and kicked ass! [to Lt Ring] Colonel Meyers: Good job, Leutenant! Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Thank you, sir! Colonel Meyers: Leutenant, see to it that those students are escorted back to Cherry Point. Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Yes, sir! Colonel Meyers: [to Powers] Well, you're dismissed! [Highway and Choozoo approach] Colonel Meyers: What the hell are you two sorry assed individuals looking at? Get the hell off of my LZ. Highway, Choozoo: Semper Fi! Colonel Meyers: Oo-rah! Highway: Well, Chooz, I guess we're not 0-1-1 anymore.

Just what the hell do you think you were doing? Just enjoying the view, sir. You disobeyed a direct order. I told you to stay in contact and not take this hill without me. Get on your feet, Highway! With all due respect, sir, you're beginning to bore the hell out of me. - Who's in charge here? - I am, sir. Major Malcolm Powers. Did you lead this assault? Lieutenant Ring and Gunnery Sergeant Highway disobeyed a direct order, sir. I told them to wait for support, but they still charged this hill. Why? Because we're paid to improvise, sir. To overcome, to adapt. I gave the order to take this hill, sir. Ring, this is going to ruin your career. - Are you new to the infantry, Major? - Yes, sir. I came over from Supply. - Were you good at that? - Yes, sir! Then stick to it, because you're a cluster fuck as an infantry officer. This is a Marine Amphibious Unit, Major. My men are hard chargers. Ring and Highway took a handful of young fire-pissers... ... exercised some personal initiative, and kicked ass! - Good work, Lieutenant. - Thank you, sir! Lieutenant, see that those students are escorted back to Cherry Point. You're dismissed! What are you two sorry-assed individuals looking at? Get out of my LZ. Semper Fi. Chooz, I guess we're not 0-1-1 now. - There's my family. - All right. - Got anybody here? - No. But it's a beautiful day and I'm ready to play. - Give them hell, man. - Definitely.
