Sid Worley

Look, Zack. It's them. Holy shit. Look at them bodacious set of ta's ta's.

You didn't kick him out, did you? Wait, sir! Didn't he tell you what he's been going through?

It doesn't matter what he's been going through; that's what bartenders are for. What does matter is that he freaked out for some reason at twenty-five thousand feet, and that can happen. Period.

There's this girl that he's gotten pregnant, and she's putting him through hell, sir.

Sid Worley

He's right, Zack. It doesn't matter.

Just like that? It's all over? With less than two weeks to go, you're out?

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

I am talking to you, mother****er!

What did you call me?

Sid Worley

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!

Perryman
[Zack sells pre-shined shoes to the other candidates and hides it in the ceiling rafters]

Shit. I am not going to make it. Help me out, Sid. Got a spare, man?

Worley

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

Perryman

Zack, I need a buckle, man.

Mayo

I can't risk it.

Perryman

You got plenty of time, man. He's still out with the girls.

Mayo

Can't do it.

Perryman

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

Mayo

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

Perryman

OK.

Worley

Attention on deck.

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, Mayonnaise? [hits rafter access tile with a stick, causing contraband to fall out] Perryman, Worley...let us have this room. On the double.

Perryman

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Worley

Stow it!

Mayo, I want your DOR.

Mayo

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.

[after Sid asks her to marry him]

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

Worley

Honey, we're not being stationed anywhere. I D.O.R.'d.

[Shocked]

You what?

Worley

I D.O.R.'d. I wasn't cut out to be a pilot. I was faking it. I've been faking everything up to now.

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.

Sid... There's no baby.

Worley

What?

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

Worley

I'll be goddamned. 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.

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!

Mayo
[sees Foley off-boarding Worley]

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!

Mayo

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

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?

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

Worley

He ain't bullshitting you, buddy.

Mayo
[to Foley]

I'm talking to you, mother****er!

Worley

Don't **** it up for you, man!

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?

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.
