An Officer and a Gentleman quotes
Page 1 of 3You know something, you ain't nothing special. You got no manners, you treat women like whores, and if you ask me, you got ne chance of being no officer.
Look, Zack. It's them. Holy shit. Look at them bodacious set of ta's ta's.
Comes a time, right after survival training, they start to believe they can make it without you.
If he ain't called by now Paula, he ain't gonna call.
May they all crash and burn.
Byron Mayo I'm out at sea three weeks out of every month, and when I'm back at port, I don't have time for this daddy stuff, 'cause that's not who I am.
That's okay, sir.
Byron Wait a second, kid, you don't understand. I'm too old for this. I don't care what the Navy says. This is no place to bring up a kid like I told you on the telephone. You're better of at that state school back at Virginia.
I'm never going back there. They treat me like shit.
Byron Maybe that's not for you to say. Goddamnit, don't look at me that way. What happened to your mother had nothing to do with me.
It did. You said you were gonna come back. You promised.
Byron Is that what she said? That's a female lie. That's bullshit! That a lie!
I found your letters. I read them right after she did it. You said you were gonna come back for us. You said you loved her, and she believed you. You're a liar!
Subic Bay, Philippines, sir.
I thought I recognized that work. Be proud of those wings. They're the only one you're leaving here with, Mayo-NAISE.
Mayo, I want your D.O.R.
No, sir. You can kick me outta here, but I ain't quitting.
Get into your fatigues, Mayo. By the end of this weekend, you'll quit.
You can forget it! You're out!
Don't you do it! Don't! You... I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I got nothin' else.
I don't want no Okie from Muskogee! I can get that right here, in Port Angeles; a dime a dozen, they are!
You little bitch! Who the HELL do you think you are? Playing with people like that! He LOVES you! And you just shit on him! [beat] You made this whole thing up, didn't you? There was never any baby, was there?
Of course there was a baby! I would never lie about something like that! Would I, Paula?
You selfish tramp!
God help you.
We both know that isn't true.
What's going on. You didn't kick him out? Hey, wait a minute. Did he tell you what he's been going through?
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!
You don't understand, sir. He's got a girl in town. She's pregnant. She's put him through hell!
It don't matter. That don't matter.
Don't matter? What do you mean? You've got two weeks left. You're out just like that?
It can still happen to you too, Mayo-naise.
He ain't bullshitting you, buddy.
Don't **** it up for you, man!
What did you call me?
I thought the DIs were supposed to help everybody out around here. What kind of human being are you?
You better lock it up, boy. You're gonna be going home with him!
Zack, go back to the barracks, please.
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?
Zack, he didn't ask me to DOR. I went to him.
Sir, this officer candidate requests permission to see you in private, sir.
Mayo, the whole class already knows about Candidate Worley, and we're sorry.
Oh, I bet you are. I want to see you in private, sir.
Not now. I'm busy.
Now!
Sir, I request permission— [Foley continues drilling] Sir, this officer candidate requests permission to see you in private, sir!
Not now. I'm busy. So are you. Now get cleaned up!
I don't need your shit! I came back to quit. DOR!
Platoon, halt!
I don't need you. I don't need the Navy. I don't need anybody.
Okay, Mayo. I see what you want. You said you wanted to meet me in private? You got it!
Zack, when you're through with a girl, what do you do? Do you you say something or do you just...disappear?
I never had a girl.
Lynette, marry me. Make me the happiest man in the whole world.
I'm sorry, Sid, but I don't wanna 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...[bitterly] Damn you! Goddamn you! Nobody DOR's after 11 weeks! NOBODY!
Akin na pera mo! ["Give me your money!" in Tagalog]
But I have no money!
Bullshit! [punches Mayo in the face. Thugs take Mayo's wallet]
Topper Daniels Who the hell is that guy?
Perryman That's you momma and daddy for the next thirteen weeks.
