Men, welcome to the United States Army. I'm Sergeant Hulka. I'm your drill sergeant. Before we proceed any further, we gotta get something straight. Your mamas are not here to take care of you now. It's just you, me, and Uncle Sam. And before I leave you, you're gonna find out that me and Uncle Sam are one and the same.

[Softly]

Uncle Hulka?

[Some of the men snicker]

When I tell you to move, you'll move fast. When I tell you to jump, you're gonna say, "How high?" And make no mistake. I don't care where you come from, I don't care what color you are, I don't care how smart you are, I don't care how dumb you are, 'cause I'm gonna teach every last one of you how to eat, sleep, walk, talk, shoot, shit like a United States soldier. Understand!?

Yes, sir?

I didn't hear you.

Yes, sir.

You don't say 'sir' to me, I'm a Sergeant, I work for a living!

Yes, Sergeant.

I didn't hear you!

YES, SERGEANT!!

Now that's what I wanna hear!

[Softly, under his breath]

Think this guy's over doing it a bit?

[The men snicker louder, drawing Hulka's attention to Winger]

We got a problem, boy?

No problem, Sergeant

On your feet, boy.

[Winger gets up from his chair]

What's your problem, boy?

I was just making a joke, Sergeant.

Well why don't you tell me your joke, son?

I don't think you'd think it's funny, Sergeant.

How do you know? I got a hell of a sense of humor. Ain't I, Corporal Briggs?

Yes, Sergeant!

Corporal Briggs, we have a comedian in our midst. Will you take this comedian outside and watch him do fifty push-ups?

[Ushering Winger outside]

Get your goat-smelling ass outta here!!

MOVE IT! HUT! HO! HUT! [Addressing the rest of the soldiers] Anybody else gonna be a comedian in here!?

No, Sergeant!

I didn't hear you!!

NO, SERGEANT!!
