A line from Lynette Pomeroy

Nine weeks just ain't long enough to get a guy to fall in love with you... the way these hot-shot assholes just use us till they've had enough and then ditch us like we's trash. Don't you ever feel used, Paula? Don't you ever feel like: If this is all I get for my troubles, then the sonofabitch ought to be paying for it?

Lynette

[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.

Lynette

[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.

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 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.

Lynette

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!

Bunny

Comes a time, right after survival training, they start to believe they can make it without you.

Paula

[about Zack]

They said he'd already left, didn't know when he'd be back.

Bunny

If he ain't called by now Paula, he ain't gonna call.

Lynette

[Paula runs out crying] [angrily]

Bunny!

Bunny

[bitterly]

May they all crash and burn.

Lynette

[justifying why she dumped Sid]

I don't want no Okie from Muskogee! I can get that right here, in Port Angeles; a dime a dozen, they are!

Mayo

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?

Lynette

Of course there was a baby! I would never lie about something like that! Would I, Paula?

Mayo

[they look at Paula; Paula looks away] [stares at Lynette with disgust, then walks away]

You selfish tramp!

Paula

God help you.

Lynette

[as Zack and Paula are leaving]

You're no different than I am, Paula!

Paula

We both know that isn't true.
