精彩對(duì)白

James: Here, man. Have a hit.

Sanborn: I'm not ready to die, James.

James: Well, you're not going to die out here, bro.

Sanborn: Another two inches. Shrapnel zings by, slices my throat. I bleed out like a pig in the sand. Nobody'll give a shit. I mean, my parents'll care, but they don't count, man, Who else? I don't even have a son.

James: Well, you're going to have plenty of time for that, amigo.

Sanborn: Naw, man.

Sanborn: You know?

Sanborn: I'm done, I want a son, I want a little boy, Will. I mean, how do you do it, you know? Take the risk?

James: I don't know, I just...I guess I don't think about it.

Sanborn: But you realize every time you suit up, every time we go out it's life or death. You roll the dice^{1 and you deal with it. You recognize that, don't you?}

James: Yeah. Yeah, I do. But I don't know why. Yeah. I don't know, JT. You know why I am the way I am?

Sanborn: Naw, I don't.

James: Wow! You did some shopping.

Ex-wife of James: Yeah.

James: I got some soda^{2. We done?}

Ex-wife of James: You want to go get us some cereal and I'll meet you at the checkout^3?

James: Okay, cereal. Where? Some guy drove his truck to the middle of an Iraqi market, starts passing out free candies. All the kids coming running up, the families stuff. He detonates. They're saying 59 are dead. You know they need more bomb techs.

Ex-wife of James: You want to chop those up for me?

James: Boing, boing, boing. Yeah. You love playing with that. You love playing with all your stuffed animals. You love your mommy, your daddy, your nature pajamas^{4. You love everything, don't you? Yeah. You know what, buddy5? once you get older, some of the things that you love might not seem so special anymore. Like your Jack6 In The Box, maybe you realize it's just a piece of tin and a stuffed animal and then you forget the few things you really love, and by the time you get to my age maybe it's only one or two things. With me I think it's one.}

Soldier: Welcome to Delta^{7 Company.}

James: Sergeant^8.
