A scene from Point Break 1991
Pappas

Listen - forget about it, kid. They are ghosts.

Johnny Utah

Yeah, of course. What am I thinking? If you couldn't crack it with all your years of experience, it's impossible to conceive that I might have something to offer, right? Well, maybe I can do better than some over-the-hill burnout.

Pappas

Watch your mouth.

Johnny Utah

Maybe you just ought to take some early retirement right now, and take some rent-a-cop night security job, tell Nam stories--

Pappas

Listen, you snot-nosed little shit! I was takin' shrapnel in Khe Sanh when you were crappin' in your hands and rubbin' it on your face!

Johnny Utah

You mad?

Pappas

Yeah, I'm mad!

Johnny Utah

YOU MAD?!

Pappas

Yeah, I'm mad! Whatcha gonna do about it?!

Johnny Utah

Feels good, doesn't it? Like you're still alive, right?!

Pappas

YEAH!

Johnny Utah

Well, since you're still alive, and you're not in the box just yet, why don't you tell me this theory of yours and we'll go get these guys?!

Pappas

[sighs, calming down]

Okay... hotshot. You want to nail the bank-robbers and be a big hero?

Johnny Utah

Definitely.

Pappas

Definitely.
