This is the Army.
It's softball and low bridges.
It's a hundred ways to prove yourself.
This is the Army.
Yes, sir.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
I got a nice, warm cab right here. You sure?
Thanks for the ride, pal.
Shit!
Allow me.
Would you be careful with those?
Madam, perhaps you'd like to eat your luggage.
I'm in a hurry.
This is Basic English.
My name is Russell Ziskey...
... I've never done this before.
Yes, you speak some English?
Son of bitch. Shit.
I've never gone this way before.
What is your name?
John Ringer? What kind of a name is Ringer?
Thank you so much.
No, it's not the speed really so much.
Oh, my!
-We're going to be killed! -Oh, no.
I am going to write your name down...
Well, that hurts, ma'am.
And I don't think I want to take your abuse.
Hey, move that cab, buddy!
Hey! You can't stop in the middle of a bridge!
...and then we'll call it a day.
That's my car!
-John, is that you? -Yeah.
Fine.
I got you a pizza too.
I had a real bad day.
Yeah. Yeah, I bet you did.
I just can't take this anymore.
That's what you said last week.
It hasn't been a week, John. It's been six months.
Nothing's changed.
Then you drive your cab, what, a couple hours?
Tito Puente is gonna be dead, and you'll say:
Then you watch movies until dawn, and then...
Most guys couldn't even handle you.
It's not funny.
You're going nowhere, John.
It's just not that cute anymore.
It's a little cute.
What, you want me to run for the Senate?
I just know that I don't want you.
So the basic problem is that I'm still around?
I need you.
Come on, John.
I knew that wasn't gonna sound good.
-Anita. -No.
-Who could grow more than me? -Goodbye.
I am the little acorn that becomes the oak.
You can't go! All the plants are gonna die!
Go away.
Hi, John.
Nice shot, John.
Hey, can I take your last beer?
-No. -We'll split it.
In the last two hours...
... I've lost my job, my apartment...
...my car and my girlfriend.
Hey. Yes, thank you. Toss that up here.
Yo. Here we are, my man.
All right, come to papa. Toss that thing. Let's go.
Jeez.
What, the Army?
No. I've always thought about joining the Army.
Bullshit. You're not the type.
I've seen the kind of guys that enlist in the Army.
Five pushups?
I got $3 says I can do five pushups.
-Not Marine pushups. -No, simple pushups.
That's none.
Let's go. There's a time limit here.
He's moving now. That's two.
Not that good though.
I think you're ready for the Special Olympics.
That's three.
-That's four. -Four.
I was testing you.
And here goes five. Will he do it?
Congratulations. You just doubled your money.
I gotta get in shape.
I gotta dry out, or I'll be dead before I'm 30.
The Army's my only chance.
You could join a monastery.
You're welcome to stay at my place if you want.
Pretty much got that roach problem licked.
You've got some warped idea about the Army.
They make me a black belt.
I'll come out a human killing machine.
