:11:02
Hey, get up here.
:11:08
Speech!
:11:12
The sword, Colonel.
You know the story, Hayes.
:11:15
Marine Lieutenant Presley O'Banion
defeated the Barbary pirates...
:11:18
on the shores ofTripoli
in 1805.
:11:20
Out of gratitude, the pasha
gave him the Mameluke sword.
:11:23
Marine officers have
carried one ever since.
:11:26
It's the symbol
ofa warrior,
:11:28
and you are a warrior.
:11:31
The best I ever served with.
:11:39
This man's been riding a desk
for the past 28 years,
:11:41
but not because he wanted to.
:11:43
He knows how to fight.
It's in his blood. Ah-ooh!
:11:50
What are you
gonna do now, Colonel?
:11:53
Well, uh... Well.
:11:56
Heh! No more wars to fight,
no more trials to lose.
:12:01
So I expect I'll do
some teaching at V.M.I.
:12:04
I will recon the local restaurants
in a concerted effort...
:12:07
to find out what civilians eat.
:12:11
Of course, I intend to continue
serving my country...
:12:14
by honorably depleting
the trout streams...
:12:16
of the Southern United States
with my fly rod!
:12:21
That's about it.
:12:27
Let's get outta here.
:12:33
- I missed you.
- Yeah, I missed you too.
:12:37
How's the kid,
the smart Hodges?
:12:39
You know, he studies more than
any two people. I never see him.
:12:43
- You gotta fix that.
- Yeah.
:12:48
- Got my orders.
- Oh, yeah? What?
:12:50
Got command of the 24th
Marine Expeditionary Unit.
:12:54
- Special Operations capable.
- Congrats. Huh! Congrats.
:12:58
- Yeah.
- Outstanding.
