D-Day

We have an old saying in Delta House: don't get mad, get even.

Bluto
[Flounder has just fired a gun near Neidermeyer's horse, and the horse has dropped dead]

Holy shit!

D-Day

There were blanks in that gun!

I didn't even point the gun at him!

Bluto

HOLY SHIT!

D-Day
[checks the gun]

There WERE blanks in that gun!

Maybe he had a heart attack.

Bluto

HOLY SHIT!
[The three glance at each other in terror, then run screaming]

D-Day

Hey, quit your blubberin'. When I get through with this baby you won't even recognize it.

Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You **** up - you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.

[crying]

That's easy for you to say! What am I going to tell Fred?

I'll tell you what. We'll tell Fred you were doing a great job taking care of his car, but you parked it out back last night and in the morning, it was gone. We report it to the police, D-Day takes care of the wreck, the insurance company buys your brother a new car.

Will that work?

Hey, it's gotta work better than the truth.

Bluto
[thrusting six-pack into Flounder's hands]

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Better listen to him, Flounder, he's in pre-med.

D-Day
[firing up blow-torch]

There you go now, just leave everything to me.

Bluto

Hey! What's this lying around shit?

Stork

Well, what the hell we s'posed to do, you moron?

D-Day

War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

Bluto

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Germans?

Forget it, he's rolling.

Bluto

And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...[pauses to remember the rest of the phrase]... the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns]

Bluto

What the **** happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst! "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer—

Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

Bluto

And we're just the guys to do it.

D-Day

Let's do it.

Bluto

LET'S DO IT!!
