A scene from Full Metal Jacket 1987
Hartman

Left shoulder! Hut! [Lawrence briefly hikes his rifle to his right shoulder and corrects himself, but Hartman notices the error and angrily marches to him] Private Pyle, what are you trying to do to my beloved Corps?!

Pyle

Sir, I don't know, sir!

Hartman

You are dumb, Private Pyle, but do you expect me to believe that you don't know left from right?!

Pyle

Sir, no, sir!

Hartman

Then you did that on purpose! You wanna be different!

Pyle

Sir, no, sir!

Hartman

[slaps Private Lawrence's left cheek]

What side was that, Private Pyle?

Pyle

Sir, left side, sir!

Hartman

Are you sure, Private Pyle?!

Pyle

Sir, yes, sir!

Hartman

[slaps Private Lawrence's right cheek; knocking his cover off]

What side was that, Private Pyle?!

Pyle

[barely holding it together]

Sir, right side, sir!

Hartman

Don't **** with me again, Pyle! Pick up your ****in' cover!

Pyle

Sir, yes, sir!
