Ladies and Gentlemen! And all the of the rest of you...
Welcome to the Miss Tennessee
Entertainer of the Year Pageant!
If you take a girl home tonight, and you find
that her clitoris is just a touch too prominent;
and her ovaries are hanging really low;
you might have ended up with one of our contestants.
Let us meet our judges!
Stand up judges. Give them a hand!
And what about these mother fuckers! Hmm?
Sit down, you're boring. And now...
without further adieu...
That's French for "No more fucking
around, let's get on with the show."
Ladies and Germs...
Our first contestant: Ms. Calpernia Addams!

I'm going to tell you a story. It's a simple story,

perhaps even sensational.
Like all great stories, it's a love story,
and like all great stories, it's terribly tragic.

You may think that I'm the center of the

But I'm not.
True, I glitter more than others,
And I admit: I've always craved the spotlight.
I get the attention 'cause I'm flashy, like the gowns I wear.
I'm the rhinestones of this story.
But the true hero of this story,
he was as quiet and as solid as a Chanel suit.

His name was Barry.
And like all great Americans, he was born in Missouri.
Welcome to Fort Campbell, soldier.
This is one sweet car you got.
Thank you
These are uh, my orders for me to report to the 502.
Just take this main road and that's the 502.
At ease private.
I see you had a little trouble in basic.
No, sergeant.
Late to formation,
sloppy quarters, uniform...
I guess I had to adjust.
We'll start over... clean slate.
So, Private Winchell, what are you good for?
Can you handle artillery?
I don't know, Sergeant.
- Ever shot a weapon before you
went into basic? - No, sergeant.
No BB guns,
You didn't go hunting with your daddy?
No, sergeant, my mother hates guns.
But I think can handle it, Sergeant.
We need an assistant gunner on a 40 mm grenade launcher,
- It's a big weapon, but you're a big boy. - Yes, Sergeant.
Here's the manual.
One other thing. Any problems I should know about?
Drinking, drugs, girls?
No, Sergeant.
Are you sure?
This is where you want to bring your problems,
not to your unit, not to the field.
'Cause I don't want to hear about it from the MP's.
I used to go overboard with the alcohol.
- Do you need counseling? - No Sergeant,
those days are behind me.
Ok.
I'll be watching you.
Go settle into your barracks, dismissed.
So, basically, you're talking about robbing a bank?
Which of course, you're an expert on,
being the known and world famous
mastermind criminal that you are.
Get out, it's all the same guys.
You get your account numbers; you
go on line; you can transfer funds.
I've seen people do it, I've seen millions get paid.
Millions, you can't even retrieve fucking email!
Gonna get fucked! Right?
- Who are you? - Barry.
Hey whattya know! It's Barry! Well, come in Barry, uh...
I think he needs a beer. Get him a beer. You want a beer?
Don't be dispirited, Barry.
Just relax; take a few deep breaths; pop open a brewski; have a drink...
Now Barry,
I have one more question for you.
You're Barry the fuck WHO?
Winchell.
- Robbin' a bank's the stupidest crime there is. - Is that so?
- Highest rate of capture and conviction. - Ooh!!
Who's the gangster now?
Which bed is mine?
It'd be that bed.
Maybe you were hoping for something with a better view?
The Deluxe Suite maybe?
- Well, this is fucking ridiculous.
I'm out of here. - Yeah, me too.
- What? Where are you going? - Laundry, man.
- Uh, why don't you stick around, Baker?
- I gotta go call my girl, Fisher.
You're such a pussy. Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fuck you, baby. I told you,
I don't call her twice a week, I get nothing when I go home.
- Take it easy Barry... - Take care Barry... - Barry
See you later.
Hi.
Hey!
What? You can't read?
No regulations against smoking in the barracks.
You can't smoke in my room, Gomer Pyle.
I'm allergic.
Is that what all the medication's for?
No dirty dishes in the sink.
You don't use my towels.
You will spray the shower stall
with Lysol, every time you use it.
You don't jerk off when I'm in the room,
not even if you think I'm asleep, not even if you think I'm dead.
When somebody asks your name, you say Winchell, not Barry.
No first names in the Infantry.
Not unless you want to everyone to think you're a pussy,
or a mama's boy, or a no balls bitch,
or just a plain garden variety asshole.
Thank you.
You'll find out, Barry, basic... it's one thing.
Anybody can get through that.
But the airborne infantry... it's where the
army cuts the wheat from the chaff.
Take care, Barry.
What time is it?
It's 09:00.
- You're going to be late for formation. - Fuck!
You are damned near late, Fisher!
You are to fall in at 09:00!
Is that clear, you little maggots?
Where the fuck is Winchell?
Who spearheaded the D Day assault?
- Screaming Eagles, Sergeant. - You're not counting!
76!
Who died on Hamburger Hill?
- Screaming Eagles, Sergeant. - You're not counting!
77!
Do you deserve to be called a Screaming Eagle?
- No, Sergeant! - Why is that?
- Because I'm an asshole, Sergeant! - A what?
An asshole, Sergeant!
- A what? - An asshole, Sergeant!
You're not doing any pushups!
- No sir! - Keep going, soldier!
Yes sir!
- How many is that? - 98!
How many more you got?
Two more!
If you're lucky!
I don't think you're going to make it, Winchell.
Alright, get up!
Pick it up! Alright, on your feet.
We're moving out.
Get that gear on! We're out! Let's go! Now!
Hey, Winchell, don't think about your feet, man.
Be sure to think, Barry.
Tired already Winchell?
Come on, asshole. You drop out, we're all getting shit.
I don't feel like doin' any fucking pushups.
Or latrine detail.
Lift your knees, Barry!
Where's our new kid?
- You mean Winchell? - Yeah.
Well, we beat him up pretty bad.
Let's see if he's got what it takes!
Hey Winchell. Is this too tough for ya?
How do you think you'd move with
enemy bullets being fired up your fat ass?
Do you think that'd make you move any faster?
You're a lard ass shit head! Go faster! Get on your feet boy!
Right, Winchell wants to move at double
time! Double time, Winchell!
Keep it up... Keep it up. Keep it up. Move,
that freak Winchell's not done yet.
I see you slowing down! Move it! Move it! Move it!
- Don't slow down! - Yes, sir.
Move! Move! Move! Move!
I want absolute noise and light discipline. No smoking!
Lights out.
Baker, Millens
You're on LP, I'll spin you guys in two.
You, you and you,
You're on perimeter defense.
- Move out! - Hey, Fisher
You tell the Sarge Winchell's MIA?
Whoa, whoa, whoa Guys! Gather back up.
Listen up, I reported my unit all present and accounted for.
I mean, I don't want to go out there
and look for Winchell's sorry ass.
Now, personally, I'm tired.
- How about you, Millens? - Give me a
break Fish, I'm beat man, come on.
- Baker? - I ain't fucking goin' nowhere.
Rise and shine you maggots!
Rub your dicks and get on your feet. We're moving out!
Move it!
Don't make me tell you again! Get your ass up now.
Where have you been?
Aww! Well, well, well, well...
You're lucky, Winchell. That could've been my ass.
Good morning ladies!
Now, you've got five minutes to get your shit together!
And that was ten minutes ago!
Now let's move it and I mean now!
Just move it.
Oh ho ho, a tough guy.
I like it, that's my boy.
Come on Winchell, take it.
You didn't have anything to eat. Go ahead.
♪ - Infantry is number one! - Infantry is number one. - We don't
quit 'til the job is done. - We don't quit 'til the job is done. ♪
Disgraceful!
Winchell! Fucking wake up. Winchell!
Are we in an alert?
No, no alert man.
You gotta clean your area man. Airborne
infantry does not live like this.
You're a disgrace.
It's 2:30 in the morning.
You want to hear some fucked up shit man?
My ex is moving to Hawaii, and she's takin' my kid.
How am I supposed to see my son if
the fucking bitch takes him to Hawaii?
You have a kid?
Yeah, he's 2 years old. You want to see a picture?
Sure
- Cute. - He's good lookin'.
He's Derek.
I love this kid. I really do.
Did you qualify on your weapon yet?
No.
You can not let the company down.
Everyone has to perform at the upper limit of their capability,
or we die out there.
What's holding you back?
Listen Fish,
I can't get through the manual.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm LD.
Learning Disabled, that's cool.
I'm ADHD,
A little OCD.
Hey! You want a Ritalin®?
It helps you really focus.
No, no thank you.
Sure? I got loads of...
Well let's clean up this place, and we'll study your manual.
It's 2:30 in the morning!
No no no no no no no no no no!
You straighten up and I'll sweep.
Let's go. Come on. Come on!
This thing you have with Millens,
when you say "Fuck you pay?"
It's from "Goodfellas."
Is that a movie about the mafia?
The best fucking movie ever made. It's
about the only thing that matters:
Loyalty among men

Nobody can say why, exactly, the boys came
to the club on that particular evening.
Of course, it's my nature to attribute these things to destiny.
How are you tonight?
Hey Fish, I think that waiter knows you.
In his dreams!
- You're gonna love this place Winchell. I think it's just your
speed. - Oh yeah? What's that supposed to mean?
Oh it's just another insane Fisher style adventure. Right?
Sit down, Baker.
- Jesus Christ! Aren't you sick and tired of Hooters? - No
I'm trying to broaden your horizons.
Relax boys! Nobody's going to bite
you. Not unless you want them to!
Actually, this is a gay bar.
- This a gay bar? - This is a test.
A test of what?
Character?
He's blushing!
Nice tits. How much did they cost?
Hey, that's that's good!

Hey! Hey sweetie! Stop! We want to talk to you for a second!
Don't get her over here.
What's the problem Baker? You a fag hater?
I am not a faggot hater. But she has tits.
More research! Let's research the situation.
Winchell here is point man. Now, your mission, if you choose
to accept it: Is to infiltrate enemy territory and find out...
- Find out what? - Hello everybody. - Hi
- If it's got a package, or if it's got a gash. - Oh shit!
- Fisher! - Did you enjoy the show this evening?
Oh yeah, we loved the dance.
Winchell really liked it. I think he had a hard on the whole time.
- Aren't you fresh - He said he wanted
to get to know you better.
- A lot better - For Christ's sakes, Fisher!
- I didn't say that. - Go get her, Winchell.
Shut up, Baker!
I'm guessing you boys are in from Fort Campbell this evening.
- Are your tits real? - Justin!
Don't worry sweetie, I'm used to people
asking me all kinds of questions.
I'm surprised you'd pay for being a little bit of a celebrity.
- My buddy wants to feel them. - Why don't you shut up?
What the fuck did you just say?
- What, you didn't hear me? - Easy, boys.
- Hey, what's your name, soldier? - Winchell
- You've never been to a place like
this before, have you? - No Ma'm.
Don't tell me to shut up, bitch. I tell you to shut up.
Hey, I think we'll need a time out here.
- How about I take you on a little tour? - No, thank you.
Alright, come on! Come on!
The management is not fond of drunken fighting.
You don't want them calling the MP's. Come on!
Don't forget your mission, man.
- I told you, it was a girl. - It's a man!
Hey, Baker, you remember that old school shit?
Break it, Crazy.
Whoa! Get off the stage!
This is my humble little dressing room.
Take off your shirt.
- Ex... Excuse me? - Ak, you smell like a brewery, soldier.
You don't want the MP's stopping you
on the way home smelling like that.
What do you think of Visions?
Different.
Perhaps it's not your thing.
Or perhaps you're not sure if it's your thing.
Is that it?
I thought you were the best one on stage.
I bet you say that to all the girls,
but thank you.
- They are real. - Hmm?
Your friend asked if they are real.
He can be crude, I apologize.
I see, you're a gentleman.
One doesn't meet many of those here.
Well, I was brought up to act a certain way around a lady.
A lady?
Correct.
Oh, don't be coy.
I'm sure tons of guys hit on you all the time.
Look at you!
I get a lot of attention,
from some very weird people.
Yeah, you poor stock super star.
You ever shy?
- Around half naked women. - Noo, don't get smart.
- You're not very shy, are you? - Oh yes, I am.
But I'm an actress.
So I can pretend I'm anything.
Confident, brazen, sexy.
It's all a matter of projecting these qualities.
So, what exactly is your mission?
Yeah, I'm supposed to find out if...
I'm supposed to find out, I mean...,
how you learned to dance like that.
...were here tonight. Tonight... Well! What do we have here?
Oh, a fresh fine thing in her dressing room.
I am so sorry. We have to get ready for our second show.
Oh, but you can stay sweetie. Help me dress, if you like.
Yeah, I would, but
My friends are waiting for me, sorry.
Can I have my brush?
Can I have your phone number?
You never told me your first name.
It's Barry.
My phone number.
You're under no obligation to use it.
Cali's soldier boy.
- Cali, he's so cute. - Cal you gonna get yourself some action?
Go girl!
- Heyyy! - Where's Fish? - Oh he stumbled
back there. You didn't see him? - Uh Uh
What'd you find out, big guy? Eh?
- She's a lady. - I knew it.
- I knew it! - All good for you, man.

Let me see what you got. Let me see what you got.
No, slow down...
Will you move off?
Where are you going?
I make it a point never to kiss a girl
whose dick is bigger than mine.
Yeah, well you must not make out
with very many girls, asshole.
What's up?
How'd it go with eh... eh...
Cornucopia? Didja get a blow job, what?
No, Calpernia?
What were you doing, bro?
Hey, a man who gets a blow job from a freak, is not a freak.
It's only the freak on her knees giving
the blow job that is the freak.
You're so drunk!
What the hell's wrong with you people?
Watch where you're goin'!
Get out of here!
You're so funny, fucking funny.
Did you hear that girl? She's like: "Look
out for the dumb fuck on the floor!"
Listen, Winchell, you never come here without
me. I don't trust you around all those fags.
Hey, I don't need your permission to go anywhere.
- Hey, watch out buddy. - It's about time.
Sorry guys. Winchell was getting his hole punched by a freak.
- None of my business. - Serious?
Nope, nope, no one smokes in the car.
What are you talking about? It's
Winchell's car and he smokes.
- No one smokes. I'm allergic! - Alright, alright, no
one smokes in the car. Alright can we just go?
-I didn't do anything. Nothing happened back there. I didn't
fucking touch anyone. - It's alright. We don't care.
What are you talking about? I care. He's in my unit.
Coming out of the closet there, Winchell?
Oh, only for you, sweetheart. Get in the fucking car.
Look what you've started, Fish.
Oooh, lay off, Winchell! Won't tell no one you kissed a chick.
What?
What chick?
That chick.
Ooooh! That's not a chick.
- Yes it is. - No, no, it's not. It's not a chick.
- Yes it is! - I'm not gay.
Sometimes, I wish I was gay.
What? What are you talking about?
What's wrong with you?
Hey man, open the door. Open the door!
Fish, open the fucking... What are you doin'? Fish! Open the door!
Ooh shit! Aw! It's all over the side of the car!
- It's funny, right? Oh, no!
Cover it! Go right.
Cover it! Go right.
Come right. Move it.
Cover it!
Hang back Winchell, hang back!
Damn!
Medic! We need a medic over here!
Hang in there Winchell. Everything's going to be okay. Medic!
We need a medic. You're going to be
okay. Don't you die on me Winchell.
Don't you die! You're going to be okay,
buddy. Don't you die Winchell.
It's just a fucking field maneuver!
- Not just fucking field maneuver. - Give me the key.
Hey! You're lucky! You got a chest wound.
Thanks
- Hello? - Do, do you know who this is?
I believe this is the gentleman I met Saturday evening.
Do you remember my name?
Of course I do.
- Do you remember the mine? - I can't say it right now.
I understand.
- Who you talking to? - My momma
So wha... what were you saying?
What can I do for you, private Winchell?
I need a change of scenery.
I was wondering if we could get a cup of coffee.
Well, I would like that.
But, you saw me, uh, Saturday night in a show,
with lights and stage make-up. - Yeah, so?
What you saw on stage Saturday night
is not the same creature you'll find having
a cup of coffee on Wednesday evening.
Look, I remember what you look like. You're pretty.
- You always tell your mom she's pretty? - Yeah... hold on.
I'm talking to my girlfriend from
Kansas. She ran into my mom.
I'm relaying a message.
What were you saying?
My neighbors are throwing a barbecue this evening.
Well, is that an invitation?
Yes, that's an invitation.
Wow! Look at him. He cleans up real good.
Go on! Be a hostess.
He's here, and I'm in this awful top.
Poise, voice, confidence...
-I see you made it. - Military dress?
It's my military training.
You can take the girl out of the Navy, but
you can't take the Navy out of the girl.
- You look great. - Thanks
Come on, I'll introduce you to my friends.
Um, this is Lester and this is Ginger.
- This is Barry. - Hi, nice to meet you, welcome.
- Hey man. - Nice to meet you.
- You dance at the club, right? - Yeah, I dance, sing, perform, whatever.
- Yeah, in front of strange men. - Don't listen to him!
- They're nice. - Ginger's kind of like my mentor.
Come on, let's get you a beer.
So, what do you do in the field? Just practice
camping and sneaking up on each other?
Yeah, we do that. We also get to launch TOW missiles.
I qualified on my weapon last month.
I made all my regs. Totally hit my marks.
Now, when we gotta launch missiles,
the Sarge wants me, 'cause
I hit the target.
Top gun.
- So, you don't launch real missiles all the time? - Hell no!
They're like $10,000 each.
- You don't smoke? - No
But I don't mind if you do. Seems to suit you.
Why? Because I'm a redneck from Missouri?
Under all this hair and makeup I'm just a piece
of white trash from the hills of Tennessee.
I like shit kicking country music and
sometimes, when I'm home all alone,
I eat baked beans right out of the can.
What?
You military?
Navy
was
Where were you stationed?
Saudi Arabia, in the Gulf War
I managed a field hospital.
All my training was about healing things.
Yours is all about destroying things, and killing people.
- I love the infantry. - Oh, I'm not criticizing you.
You know, your freedom has a price.
And the guys in my unit, we're the guys that pay that,
with our lives. And I love them,
- for that. - That's hot.
In the navy, were you Calpernia?
No.
God, this humidity... wrecks my hair.
- That's not funny. - I thought that you were hot?
No? Does that cool you down at all?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I apologize. Let me clean that off you.
Don't do it! Don't do it.
- Fuck! - Ohh!
Sorry
Aw, it's all over ya.
You're all wet.
I better go clean my blouse,
at home.
Yeah, I should probably get...
going back to base anyhow.
I had a good time.
I'm glad you came.
Me too, thanks for inviting me.
I'd like to see you again.
Oh no, no, no. That's very nice. But
the bars in Nashville are full of girls.
Yeah, but you're not like the other girls.
That's an understatement.
- He wants to see me again. - And why shouldn't he?
He's a straight boy,
a handsome, gentle, mannerly straight boy,
- with a job, and a car. - And he
knows... I mean, you told him?
- Cali! - I think he knows.
Or he knows as much as he wants to know.
What if he wants to make love? Does
Lester pay attention to your, uh...
My un-feminine boy parts?
He ignored them for the first few years.
And, then he started to experiment.
But to me sexual orientation isn't black and white. I mean...
very few people are 100% anything these days.
Ginger,
he's from Kansas.
- This place sucks. - Fisher, come on, man. You're
the one who dragged us here last week.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Why don't you take my car and
come back in a couple of hours?
I need a drink.

Why don't they just tell the truth? Say "I don't have the balls

Sweetheart...
Maybe you should go home,
and think about this.
Yeah
Winchell!
You got lipstick all over your face.
Chick with a dick! Chick with a dick...
Hey, don't cross the line with me Fisher.
Chick with a dick! Chick with a dick!
Oh, and that's not your girlfriend, right there?
Fisher?
Hey, honey!
Let's go. Fuck it!
You're doing well in the field. How
you coming with your class work?
I'm ah, studying every free minute.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
That's good, good. You do your studying on post or off?
Mostly on, sometimes off.
- This looks great. - Thank you! - Jenifer's a great cook.
It's frozen. Just kidding!
So, you seeing someone off post?
Yeah, I date a little, like everyone else. Do
you want to see a picture of my girlfriend?
Sure
OK!
You're a lucky man, private.
Yes, I am.
Do you know why I'm a good sergeant, Winchell?
I have instincts about my men.
You stick with it, and you never give up.
That's the way my mother raised me.
I'm going to take a chance. I'm betting
on you for Soldier of the Month .
See the two dogs here: Rufus seven
years in a row, best in show.
His brother Amadeus, every year, a loser.
Go figure.
Oh my God!
Well, do you want to come in?
- I got good news. - Oh? - Yeah, my sergeant
wants to nominate me for Soldier of the Month .
Oh, congratulations!
Please excuse the mess.
Ginger's helping me come up with a few numbers.
She wants me in her pageant on July 4.
Can I get you something to drink?
A soda, a beer? I can make some lemonade.
- Beer is good.
Thank you.
- What kind of pageant? - Miss Tennessee
Entertainer of the Year
I'll have to perform two numbers; design a gown
for the evening wear competition;
and answer some questions.
Oh, what kind of hostess am I? I didn't offer you a glass.
-I'm fine, really. - OH!
I 'm a genuine butterfingers today.
I make you nervous?
Yes
You make me nervous.
Why?
Because you're so normal.
And and, my life style is so far outside
of what's considered normal,
I'm, I'm off the charts. OW!
It's alright, that's...
Do you know what you're getting yourself into?
I don't care.

I have to get back to base.
- I must look a wreck. - Shh, go to sleep.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
You look like an angel.
- I'm some kind of... - Shh,
You're not allowed to say negative things
about yourself in my presence.
And that's an order, private.
Oh God!
Burgers almost ready, boys, burgers almost ready.
I'll make you a burger, Winchell.
Ahh, you probably already have plans tonight.
Considering you have such an active social life.
Baker
Martinez, your burger
Let's go Nasty!
- There's some ketchup, and some onions... - Get the ball.
...whatever the hell you want.
Millens, come get your burger.
It's raining out.
You guys know where I can find module A?
A for asshole?
-You ought to be able to find that. - Hoo Wah!
It's over there.
- What's your name, soldier? - Glover
Well it looks like they sent us a real seasoned warrior, Glover.
- That's your new battle buddy, Millens. - Fuck you, baby!
- Hey - Hey
That's a cool dog you got!
Nasty, she's our company mascot.
Can I have a cigarette?
Sure
I used to have a dog just like her, a pit bull. She was crazy.
If anybody ever came near me, she'd, she'd try and kill them.
- This is a Rottweiler. - Yeah, well
that's what I meant, a Rottweiler.
That Diaz is an asshole, though, eh?
I mean, he was all over me, he was like
What are you doing in the military?
Aren't you a little bit young? You
sure you want to be here, son?
- Well, how old are you? - 17, my mom had
to sign the papers to get me into this place.
That's not a spick's business, though, right?
- Hey Diaz is... he's cool. - Yeah, he's alright, he's okay.
- Did you make a burger for Nasty? - No,
I got two for me and I got two for you.
- Take the cigarettes outside. The smoke
comes right into my apartment. - Sorry
Don't worry about it. There are no regulations
against smoking in this building.
Well, you know, you could just shut the door.
Gna, gna, gna...
Your smoke comes under the door, you moron.
Why don't you back off, Fish.
It's his first day.
Oh, what's what's a matter Winchell! You like him? Huh?
He's a good looking kid.
Be careful of Winchell. He's a bona fide rope sucker.
- What are you trying to do? - Huh, wha?
Get me discharged?
It was a joke.
Calm down! Your dinner's ready.
- You're the one who disappears from post all the time. - Hey!
Nobody knows who you're with
or where you go. I'm just say...
I am entitled to a private life that's
separate from my army life.
Well just so you know, Winchell, the army's not a normal job.
We're supposed to live for each other,
- and we're supposed to die to each other. - No Fisher.
I mean people in the army they
have families, careers, girlfriends.
Right, Winchell, girlfriends,
not some... mutant, from Visions.
Who brought me to Visions in the first place?
- Are you going to eat? Because your
dinner is getting cold. - No, thank you.
Thank you very much.
You don't get it, Winchell, do you?
This is the 101st Airborne Division:
D-Day!
Hamburger Hill! Those guys laid
their lives down for each other.
In combat! This isn't combat!
Fuck you!
Why did you do that?
Are you crazy?
Listen Fisher, I think we need to go down to mental health.
Those pills you're taking are fucking up your head.
I'm not fucking around!
- You are going to clean it? - No, I'm not going to clean it!
- Clean it! - No, I didn't make the
mess. I'm not going to clean it!
- Clean it! Are you going to clean it?
- No - Clean it! - No... Get off me!
I'm not going to fucking fight you!
Jesus Christ! Oh shit! Shit, Winchell!
- You alright? - Fuck off!
- Go wash up, man. - Yeah man, go to the
hospital. - To the emergency room, man.
You're covered in blood! You got
blood all over my fucking wall!
What's wrong with you, Fisher?
- Which way the fuck...
- This is not going to pose problems. - Nothing happened, a fight, and no more.
Shut the fuck up alright, now you guys just hang back.
I'd like to be alone with Winchell for a second.
Hello, can I get some attention please?
Where the hell is everybody?
Let me see this.
- You know, I can get an article 15 for this shit.
- Fuck! It's those fucking pills you take, man.
- You mix them with alcohol. - I know, you're right.
- they fuck up your mind. - You're
right. You're right. Listen, Winchell,
first thing Monday, I'm going to talk
to somebody at mental health.
I know I need help, man. I know I need help.
I mean, they... people laugh...
And you're the only one... that takes me seriously.
I gotta fuck that shit up, man. Why do I gotta... fuck
Why do I always gotta fuck shit up, man?
Why I did I do that? Why did I do that?
- Uh, Fisher, listen... - Stupid! - Hey, hey!
I'm going to tell Diaz I threw the first punch.
You'd do that for me?
But my private life stays private.
Yeah, yeah no problem.
Everybody's entitled to a private life.
Thanks Winchell.
Can we get some help, here?
Sometimes you kill me, Lester.
- Hey guys - Hey Cal
Want some brews?
Here you go.
Cal?
This task has been performed correctly
when the installation of SB3082V1/G2
and the completed maintenance forms
have been inspected in accordance
with performance measures 1 through 3
within 10 minutes.
I think he's dangerous and you ought to report him.
He's supposed to be dangerous. We're infantry.
Here
Dear mom and Wally,
Here's my metal...
I think you mean "medal" with a d.
Yeah, fix it.
I bet you always had girls doing your homework.
My little cheerleader.
Here's my medal for marksmanship.
Wally you were right. The infantry's touff.
"Tough" with a "gh"...
But I can take it. I suck it up, and move on.
I miss you guys, and love you so much.
Barry
Your family loves you.
You're lucky.
- This is a bad idea, turn around. - I just want
to see the house that you grew up in.
I swore I'd never come back here. I
don't know why you're interested.
You ask me questions all the time,
about my mom, my old girlfriends.
You have your secrets.
- Like what ? - Like your birth father,
you want to talk about him?
He ran away when I was 4.
I don't even know him.
Ok, stop.
- Don't get any closer. They might see
us. - Cal, it's 6:00 in the morning.
They get up with the roosters.
Let's go knock on the door and say hello.
No sir ! What are you doing? Get back in the car!
Come on!
Get back in the car!
Barry? Jesus Christ! Get back!
Was this yours?
That's a boy's bike.
Come on Cal, it'is your family. You can't live without...
The first time I saw my mother, my
hair was down to my shoulders,
and I had been on hormones for a year.
I thought I looked alright.
I tried to keep the conversation flowing.
That woman could barely speak.
The tears were falling down her face,
and she called me by my boy's name.
I have to be more myself, before I walk up to that house again.
What does that mean, you're supposed to more yourself?
Please take me home.
What's, what's this word?
Orchidectomy
That's removal of the male genitalia.
- Va - Vaginoplasty
That's where they, um create a
vagina out of the penile tissues.
I'm going to finish looking at this later.
I know, it seems extreme.
How much does it cost?
Oh, up to $50,000.
Jesus! $50,000! Do you know what you can get for $50,000?
- You can get a Jaguar, a Porsche. - Uhh, I have a car.
You don't need this.
Let me show you something.
Petty Officer Third Class (E4) Alberts: Scottie
I've been running from that kid my whole life.
Now, I just feel sorry for him.
I'm tired of being a freak.
Does that make me a freak if I'm in love with a freak?
- But you said? - Yeah, I know what I said.
- You know what really pisses me off? - What?
You outrank me.
That's right private (E3). I do.
Yo Winchell! If you want, we can work on
your presentation for Soldier of the Month .

And so my mom and I, we're living
in this place with ghosts - no shit.
Did you ever hear a ghost talk at night?
I mean, they don't ever shut up.
And not only that, you can hardly understand
a word that they're saying.
Well, my mom's really great. So, she pipes up and
she says "Hey you ghosts, shut up in there."
And that was it, I mean they just fell silent. My mom's great.
Do you think a homosexual can be loyal to his unit?
No, I, I don't see how a homosexual can be loyal.
Because he'd always have this agenda
to try and hump you, right?
Right, I mean he'd always be trying
to have sex with you, and stuff.
- So, you should probably talk to Diaz about it. - Okay.
Talk to him about what?
Well about having homosexuals in our company.
We do?
One of the guys in our unit spends a
lot of time at this club for deviants.
Yeah?
And I'm pretty sure that he gave
someone fellatio, in that club.
Well, well, tell me who it is. Because I,
I can take care of that sort of thing.
- I don't want to get any of my friends in trouble.
- You don't want to get any friends...
Okay, yeah I think I know who you're talking about.
I mean, 'cause we're just talking, off the record, right?
Okay, we're just talking off the record.
Morning sergeant.
Diaz, Glover's got something to say, I think you ought to hear.
- Okay, soldier. - Yes, sergeant.
Apparently, one of the men from our company
attends a club that caters to deviants.
Deviants?
Sergeant, word is that he gave fellatio to a man in this club.
You're saying that you saw someone from
this company having sex with a man?
No sergeant,
Fellatio
And I didn't see it, I just heard about it.
So that makes it a rumor.
In which case, you don't need to be spreading it.
- Dismissed, Glover. - Yes, sergeant.
Where is this club?
- Nashville, First Sergeant. It's called Visions.
- Dismissed, soldier! - Sergeant
Close the door on your way out.
Glover's a troubled kid. He's always running around
telling tales. There's no problem in this unit.
Oh, we got a problem in this unit,
if there's a homosexual here.
I say we find out where the boys have
been spending their weekends.
According to policy, you can be a homosexual and
serve in the army, as long as you don't do anything
that's homosexual or tell anybody about it.
So, if you don't do anything homosexual and
you don't tell anybody you're a homosexual,
what makes you a homosexual?
Does this policy make any sense to you?
Come on, Diaz.
You can't directly ask someone if he or she is gay.
That's the policy.
Directly
Okay
- Hey Baker. - How you doing, sarge?
- How was your weekend? - Pretty good!
Yeah, what'd you do?
Usual shit, you know. Cruising with the boys;
having beers; partied at The Wet Spot;
giving all my money away to the strippers.
- The fucking place is a gold mine. - Sure!
Hey, you ever hear of this place, uh, I
think it's in Nashville, called Visions?
- Yeah - You ever been there? - I was there once.
Yeah? What's it like?
It's all fucking perverts, sarge. I never went back.
Yeah, who else went with you? I
mean you didn't go alone right?
Fuck no, sarge.
I didn't even want to go there in the first place.
I'm done lifting here. So, I was going to go do some cardio.
Look, uh, like I said, sarge,
once I found out what kind of place
it was, I mean, I never went back.
If it wasn't your idea, who's idea was it?
It was one of fucking Fisher's hair-brained ideas, you know,
It was just a gag, sarge, you know it's, uh,
just a little fucking goofy. Just went there,
laughed at the fucking weirdos.
Okay, Baker, okay, thanks
You've been talking shit about me.
What?
You've been talking shit about me.
No, I haven't.
Fuck, Fisher I'm going to get my ass kicked out of the army.
This is my life man, this is my career. I mean, do you think...
- you think this is funny? You think this is
some fucking joke? - Hey, hey, calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down!
Just relax, Winchell. Jesus!
- I think it's Glover... - Glover?
... got a grudge against you.
- You put him up to it. - No, I didn't.
- Yes you did, you were there. - I was where?
Visions!
So was Baker, so was Martinez
It was you, fucker, you started this
whole thing for some sick reason.
Hey don't forget man,
I kissed a person in that place.
If I was starting rumors about you,
I'd be starting rumors about myself.
- Does that make sense? - No
I, I don't know, but, somehow you worked it so that you
could stay clean and all this shit comes down on me.
You drink too much, man.
You want to hear some really weird shit?
When I was little, about two or three,
my mother and my sisters used
to dress me up in girls' clothes.
I remember them doing this.
And one time when I was twelve,
I got busted for some shit at school
and they strip searched me.
And they found out I was wearing my sister's panties.
Is that fucked up or what?
- Are you trying to be funny? - Nobody else knows this...
...but you.
You're the only human being...
...just you.
You're my battle buddy. Who helped
you get through the first few weeks?
You did.
And who helped you qualify on your weapon?
- You - That's right.
You need to stick with your friends. You want
me to help you study for Soldier of the Month?
Yeah, okay
Stay loyal to your brothers.
-I'm here for you, man. - Alright
I mean, how many people, out there in the
world, would really lay down his life for you?
How many people will say that?
"I will lay down my life for you."
This squad is the best in the company.
What about that fight he had with Fisher?
Yeah, what was that all about?
Winchell's come a long way. Let it rest.
- ...too, why did you go to the club?
- Wait, are you asking me if I'm gay?
Oh that's quite a label. I did not use that
word. No, I was talking about a club.
Why you went there, why you encouraged others to go.
Well, is this the thanks that you get trying to help a friend?
Sergeant, it's complicated.
People my age, we're really trying to find ourselves.
Aha, You jerking me around, Fisher?
No, sarge
What about that fight between you and
Winchell? Huh? What was that all about?
I threw the first punch, sergeant.
Fisher was getting on my nerves. I told you that.
That's right.
How about it Winchell? You ever been to this
uh, this club for deviants called Visions?
Yeah, Fish took me.
Comes back to you, Fisher.
Does it, sarge?
Look, I believe everybody's entitled
to a private life. Don't you?
- It's got the best music in Nashville. - Ah ha ha
It'll blow over.

for Miss Tennessee Entertainer of the Year.
My theme is going to be Independence,
you know, in honor of the 4th of July.
And I'm going to wear this with my red wig
- Whattya thi... are you ready? - Hm, yeah. - Ta Daa!
- What do you think? - It's great.
- Do you think it's too much? - Hmm Umm.
Well, it's supposed to be a little too
much. - I know you're going to win.
I won't be nervous with you there.
What's wrong?
You've got something on your mind.
I can't go to the pageant.
I've got to study for my interview for Soldier of the Month.
I mean, you've really got to know your
stuff. They ask tough questions.
Well, you can study here, or in my dressing room.
I'll get more done if I stay on base.
Okay
Ugh, who wears rhinestones but tacky drag queens like me?
I knew this would happen! - Huh what?
Did you find someone else?
- No - I'm just curious, is it a boy or a girl?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Well, if it's a boy, at least I helped you come
out of the closet. Is it your roommate?
Fisher? Are you kidding?
I saw the way he looked at you.
Fisher's straight.
What the fuck are you?
- I don't know what I am, okay? - Well,
you will not use me to figure it out!
I don't know what people want from me!
I just want everyone to be fucking happy!
I know it sounds stupid.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- I want you to do the pageant so bad. - I will. - I know...
...and I'm going to be there with you in spirit.
I know you will.
Oh... fuck...
This is embarrassing.
Why, because soldiers aren't supposed to cry?
- Exactly - You forget, I'm a veteran...
...and this is just between us, soldier to soldier.
Now let's get out of here.
Where are we going?
My favorite place in all the world.
Hey!
- Will you sing for me? - I always sing for you.
No I mean now. Without the crowd

I was beginning to coalesce a dream
of me and Barry being together.
The dangerous thing about dreams: you
begin to believe they might come true.
Company present arms.
Company order arms.
This 4th of July holiday,
most of us will be enjoying well deserved rest and recreation.
But we can not forget
that this holiday honors the birth of our nation
and the birth of freedoms that we defend with our lives.
Don't forget that. In or out of uniform, you're always a soldier.
fitting if this thing blows up in my face.
Fire in the hole!
- Medic! - You scared the shit out of me, man.
Isn't this better? Hanging out with your buddies?
- Yeah - Yeah, like a normal guy.
I am normal, man.
Hah hah, I'm the normal one.
That's nothing man. That's like back
when I was uh, like fifteen or so...
...and I was hard up for cash.
So, I needed to rob a bank.
Yeah, well yeah, I mean, I robbed it.
First part was that we scoped the place
out, right? You got, you got to shop it.
Because if I was going to rob, rob a bank, I'd definitely
want Glover on my side. Wouldn't you, guys?
Finish your story. It's a good story.
- It's a good story. - So the first place had been robbed
before. And I knew that, because it had bulletproof glass.
Oh! He's in for it... ...who signed on for that?
- I mean, - Holy moly Batman, - It's tight -bulletproof glass!
you're not going to get more than $3,000 out of it.
I mean you guys don't believe me, do you?
Who the fuck are you guys huh? You guys are bullshit.
You've never done anything big with yourselves before.
Leave me alone, fuck! You're shit heads all of you!
- Dial it back Glover. - Fuck! -Glover, hey Glover
Man, go put your drunk ass to bed.
No one wants to hear your bullshit story.
- Bullshit! Bullshit? You fucking homosexual!
- I don't want to fight you Glover.
- You don't want to fight me? - No - No, you'd rather fuck me.
- Yo, they're laughing at you. Can't you see that? - Fuck you!
- Hey Hey hey, Glover, Winchell! Guys, take it easy!
No fucking faggot's going to tell me what to do.
Glover, Glover, you don't want to fight Winchell.
Back off Fish. I don't need your help.
- Yeah, back off, man 'cause... - What? - ...come on!
- Come on. - I won't fight. - You don't want to fight!
Fucking homo.
Fuck you, faggot. You don't fight? You
fucking homosexual, you don't fight?
You made me do this!
I'm going to fucking kill you, Winchell!
- I'm going to... kill you, man! - Why'd you push me?
- I'm going to fucking kill you!
- You're the one who pushed me!
What's going on over here?
A little disagreement, sergeant.
I told them to shake hands and be over it.
Go on, guys.
It's not over, Winchell.
- It's over. - It's over.
Keep it down. Alright!
Yes, sir.
Keep it down!
- I'm going to fucking kill you, Winchell!
- Shut the fuck up, Glover.
- You got punked off and got it!
- You're always pushing things over the fucking line. - Me?
- You got punked out by that faggot? - No!
That faggot kicked your ass right here in front of everybody?
- Fisher drop it. - Shut up, Fish.
I'm going to kill him! You guys hear! I'm going to kill him !
- Right, like you robbed a bank, huh?
- I did rob the bank. - I did rob the bank!
I did it! Robbed it!
[Winchell is smoking.] What the fuck are you doing?
I'll cut you some slack. After all, it's a holiday.
Listen, Fish...
...next week, I'm going to apply for a transfer.
Maybe I can get my own room.
With all the shit going on and...
I need a place where I can study and focus,
and smoke a fucking cigarette if I feel like it.
I mean, we'll still be battle buddies but...
...I need some space.
We're going to play some baseball, if you're interested.
Are we cool? Alright, we gotta smuggle this thing all the way...
Put it in my bed.
- Hey just leave me alone, alright Winchell?
- I want to straighten this out.
I'm warning you Winchell, just leave me alone, alright?
Here are these cigarettes. They're... peace offering.
Come on, man, we're in the same
company. I can't have beef with you.
Take 'em.
Go on take 'em.
I'm sorry. Alright?
- It's cool? - Yeah it's cool.
- It's over. - Hoo Waa!
Winchell, you're going to help me take
this keg upstairs and put it in my bed.
Bitch!
Man, you're drunk, I'm going to bed. Good night.
-Whoa, it's your turn to take care of
Nasty, man. - Fine, come on Nasty.
Keep that stinky dog out of my room, Winchell.
Fine! We'll sleep in the hallway. Come on Nasty. Come here.
You know, fuck this shit man. I'm
hungry. I'm going to the shopette.
- What about the keg? - You're coming with me.
Fuck it. We'll take it.
Why let a little bit of rain get in the
way of a good baseball game?

A tribute! To 1930's Hollywood glamour!
- Happy Independence Day! - Sir!
- Oh shit! You got something on your face, man! - What?
I think it's a bruise from where Winchell hit you.
Fuck off, man!
That faggot kicked your ass!
No, he didn't!
I kicked, I kicked his ass.
He go crazy some lightning
strength
- Oh God, these stairs. - Shhh
Why don't you slap him?
Why don't you slap him?
- What, are you afraid? - No
- Smack him! - You want to smack him?
Close the door!
- You want some ramen noodles? - No, I'm fine man.
- Did you hit me? Did you hit me? - No no
What?
- It was Glover. - Leave me alone.
I'm not fucking around with you!
What?
- Fuck you, Winchell! - Fuck you, Winchell!
You know, we should fuck him up.
I ever show you this bat? This right here
is an authentic, autographed, Louisville slugger.
I boosted it from a store in Lincoln before I enlisted.
Yeah, I had a bat just like this, exactly.
We killed some skunks with it.
- And, man, it stunk so bad we had to
burn it... - Shut the fuck up, you moron.
- Hey, how does your face feel, where
he hit you? - Fuck, fuck you! Alright?
- I mean does it hurt? 'cause it looked
like it would hurt. - Fuck you!
You should go out there and fuck him up.
Yeah, you know? I ought to. I really should.
Go for it!

Personnel on this military base are reeling, from
a deadly assault that occurred here last night.
The information we have, at this moment, is
that Private First Class Barry Winchell, was
attacked under mysterious circumstances,
at approximately 1:00 A.M. He was taken first,
by ambulance, to the hospital on post,
then transferred by helicopter to University General,
where surgeons worked frantically to revive him,
but without success.
I've been told that Winchell had massive head trauma,
and his parents have authorized him being
removed from life support, just minutes ago.
That's all we have to date on this story. We'll keep you
up to date on it, as details become available. Back to...
Cali, oh my God! I just heard on the news.
They killed him! They killed him!
The 911 system was down. So the boys tried to call and um...
You seem to be upset, sergeant.
I am upset.
I'm very upset.
I lost one of my best soldiers.
The emergency system is down.
The emergency system is down.
Nobody can call for help? Aw that's,
that's rich. That's convenient.
You tell me why it takes an ambulance
one hour, one hour to get someplace?
Winchell was still alive.
I don't remember mm!
Am I going to get kicked out of the army for this?
Yeah, I showed him the bat. I mean, it's, it's a,
it's a good bat. It's a great bat. It's vintage.
It's the kind of bat that you show people.
But if he's telling you that I meant for him to kill Winchell,
that's, that's bullshit.
You're the person that Time magazine referred
to as Winchell's cross dressing friend?
Yes.
I was his friend.
We were supposed to spend the weekend together.
We're family.
This is a death in the family.
Did you hear anything about him being
harassed or being called names?
He never complained about it.
He was Airborne Infantry.
When you're Airborne Infantry, you don't complain.
The imagination is the most powerful force known to mankind.
And it is my imagined self, the one who is beautiful,
and loving, and worthy of being loved,
that has been my guiding force, my inspiration.
I can only hope to become the person
Barry imagined me to be.
I pray for the courage it will take
to become a real live "Soldier's Girl".

But I'm not.
True, I glitter more than others,
And I admit: I've always craved the spotlight.
I get the attention 'cause I'm flashy, like the gowns I wear.

His name was Barry.
And like all great Americans, he was born in Missouri.
Welcome to Fort Campbell, soldier.
This is one sweet car you got.
Thank you
These are uh, my orders for me to report to the 502.
Just take this main road and that's the 502.
At ease private.
I see you had a little trouble in basic.
No, sergeant.
Late to formation,
sloppy quarters, uniform...
I guess I had to adjust.
We'll start over... clean slate.
So, Private Winchell, what are you good for?
Can you handle artillery?
I don't know, Sergeant.
- Ever shot a weapon before you
went into basic? - No, sergeant.
No BB guns,
You didn't go hunting with your daddy?
No, sergeant, my mother hates guns.
But I think can handle it, Sergeant.
We need an assistant gunner on a 40 mm grenade launcher,
- It's a big weapon, but you're a big boy. - Yes, Sergeant.
Here's the manual.
One other thing. Any problems I should know about?
Drinking, drugs, girls?
No, Sergeant.
Are you sure?
This is where you want to bring your problems,
not to your unit, not to the field.
'Cause I don't want to hear about it from the MP's.
I used to go overboard with the alcohol.
- Do you need counseling? - No Sergeant,
those days are behind me.
Ok.
I'll be watching you.
Go settle into your barracks, dismissed.
So, basically, you're talking about robbing a bank?
Which of course, you're an expert on,
being the known and world famous
mastermind criminal that you are.
Get out, it's all the same guys.
You get your account numbers; you
go on line; you can transfer funds.
I've seen people do it, I've seen millions get paid.
Millions, you can't even retrieve fucking email!
Gonna get fucked! Right?
- Who are you? - Barry.
Hey whattya know! It's Barry! Well, come in Barry, uh...
I think he needs a beer. Get him a beer. You want a beer?
Don't be dispirited, Barry.
Just relax; take a few deep breaths; pop open a brewski; have a drink...
Now Barry,
I have one more question for you.
You're Barry the fuck WHO?
Winchell.
- Robbin' a bank's the stupidest crime there is. - Is that so?
- Highest rate of capture and conviction. - Ooh!!
Who's the gangster now?
Which bed is mine?
It'd be that bed.
Maybe you were hoping for something with a better view?
The Deluxe Suite maybe?
- Well, this is fucking ridiculous.
I'm out of here. - Yeah, me too.
- What? Where are you going? - Laundry, man.
- Uh, why don't you stick around, Baker?
- I gotta go call my girl, Fisher.
You're such a pussy. Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fuck you, baby. I told you,
I don't call her twice a week, I get nothing when I go home.
- Take it easy Barry... - Take care Barry... - Barry
See you later.
Hi.
Hey!
What? You can't read?
No regulations against smoking in the barracks.
You can't smoke in my room, Gomer Pyle.
I'm allergic.
Is that what all the medication's for?
No dirty dishes in the sink.
You don't use my towels.
You will spray the shower stall
with Lysol, every time you use it.
You don't jerk off when I'm in the room,
not even if you think I'm asleep, not even if you think I'm dead.
When somebody asks your name, you say Winchell, not Barry.
No first names in the Infantry.
Not unless you want to everyone to think you're a pussy,
or a mama's boy, or a no balls bitch,
or just a plain garden variety asshole.
Thank you.
You'll find out, Barry, basic... it's one thing.
Anybody can get through that.
But the airborne infantry... it's where the
army cuts the wheat from the chaff.
Take care, Barry.
What time is it?
It's 09:00.
- You're going to be late for formation. - Fuck!
You are damned near late, Fisher!
You are to fall in at 09:00!
Is that clear, you little maggots?
Where the fuck is Winchell?
Who spearheaded the D Day assault?
- Screaming Eagles, Sergeant. - You're not counting!
76!
Who died on Hamburger Hill?
- Screaming Eagles, Sergeant. - You're not counting!
77!
Do you deserve to be called a Screaming Eagle?
- No, Sergeant! - Why is that?
- Because I'm an asshole, Sergeant! - A what?
An asshole, Sergeant!
- A what? - An asshole, Sergeant!
You're not doing any pushups!
- No sir! - Keep going, soldier!
Yes sir!
- How many is that? - 98!
How many more you got?
Two more!
If you're lucky!
I don't think you're going to make it, Winchell.
Alright, get up!
Pick it up! Alright, on your feet.
We're moving out.
Get that gear on! We're out! Let's go! Now!
Hey, Winchell, don't think about your feet, man.
Be sure to think, Barry.
Tired already Winchell?
Come on, asshole. You drop out, we're all getting shit.
I don't feel like doin' any fucking pushups.
Or latrine detail.
Lift your knees, Barry!
Where's our new kid?
- You mean Winchell? - Yeah.
Well, we beat him up pretty bad.
Let's see if he's got what it takes!
Hey Winchell. Is this too tough for ya?
How do you think you'd move with
enemy bullets being fired up your fat ass?
Do you think that'd make you move any faster?
You're a lard ass shit head! Go faster! Get on your feet boy!
Right, Winchell wants to move at double
time! Double time, Winchell!
Keep it up... Keep it up. Keep it up. Move,
that freak Winchell's not done yet.
I see you slowing down! Move it! Move it! Move it!
- Don't slow down! - Yes, sir.
Move! Move! Move! Move!
I want absolute noise and light discipline. No smoking!
Lights out.
Baker, Millens
You're on LP, I'll spin you guys in two.
You, you and you,
You're on perimeter defense.
- Move out! - Hey, Fisher
You tell the Sarge Winchell's MIA?
Whoa, whoa, whoa Guys! Gather back up.
Listen up, I reported my unit all present and accounted for.
I mean, I don't want to go out there
and look for Winchell's sorry ass.
Now, personally, I'm tired.
- How about you, Millens? - Give me a
break Fish, I'm beat man, come on.
- Baker? - I ain't fucking goin' nowhere.
Rise and shine you maggots!
Rub your dicks and get on your feet. We're moving out!
Move it!
Don't make me tell you again! Get your ass up now.
Where have you been?
Aww! Well, well, well, well...
You're lucky, Winchell. That could've been my ass.
Good morning ladies!
Now, you've got five minutes to get your shit together!
And that was ten minutes ago!
Now let's move it and I mean now!
Just move it.
Oh ho ho, a tough guy.
I like it, that's my boy.
Come on Winchell, take it.
You didn't have anything to eat. Go ahead.

No, no alert man.
You gotta clean your area man. Airborne

You're a disgrace.

You want to hear some fucked up shit man?
My ex is moving to Hawaii, and she's takin' my kid.
How am I supposed to see my son if
the fucking bitch takes him to Hawaii?
You have a kid?
Yeah, he's 2 years old. You want to see a picture?
Sure
- Cute. - He's good lookin'.
He's Derek.
I love this kid. I really do.
Did you qualify on your weapon yet?
No.
You can not let the company down.
Everyone has to perform at the upper limit of their capability,
or we die out there.
What's holding you back?
Listen Fish,
I can't get through the manual.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm LD.
Learning Disabled, that's cool.
I'm ADHD,
A little OCD.
Hey! You want a Ritalin®?
It helps you really focus.
No, no thank you.
Sure? I got loads of...
Well let's clean up this place, and we'll study your manual.

No no no no no no no no no no!

Hey! Hey sweetie! Stop! We want to talk to you for a second!
Don't get her over here.
What's the problem Baker? You a fag hater?
I am not a faggot hater. But she has tits.
More research! Let's research the situation.
Winchell here is point man. Now, your mission, if you choose
to accept it: Is to infiltrate enemy territory and find out...
- Find out what? - Hello everybody. - Hi
- If it's got a package, or if it's got a gash. - Oh shit!
- Fisher! - Did you enjoy the show this evening?
Oh yeah, we loved the dance.
Winchell really liked it. I think he had a hard on the whole time.
- Aren't you fresh - He said he wanted
to get to know you better.
- A lot better - For Christ's sakes, Fisher!
- I didn't say that. - Go get her, Winchell.
Shut up, Baker!
I'm guessing you boys are in from Fort Campbell this evening.
- Are your tits real? - Justin!
Don't worry sweetie, I'm used to people
asking me all kinds of questions.
I'm surprised you'd pay for being a little bit of a celebrity.
- My buddy wants to feel them. - Why don't you shut up?
What the fuck did you just say?
- What, you didn't hear me? - Easy, boys.
- Hey, what's your name, soldier? - Winchell
- You've never been to a place like
this before, have you? - No Ma'm.
Don't tell me to shut up, bitch. I tell you to shut up.
Hey, I think we'll need a time out here.
- How about I take you on a little tour? - No, thank you.
Alright, come on! Come on!
The management is not fond of drunken fighting.
You don't want them calling the MP's. Come on!
Don't forget your mission, man.
- I told you, it was a girl. - It's a man!
Hey, Baker, you remember that old school shit?
Break it, Crazy.
Whoa! Get off the stage!
This is my humble little dressing room.
Take off your shirt.
- Ex... Excuse me? - Ak, you smell like a brewery, soldier.
You don't want the MP's stopping you
on the way home smelling like that.
What do you think of Visions?
Different.
Perhaps it's not your thing.
Or perhaps you're not sure if it's your thing.
Is that it?
I thought you were the best one on stage.
I bet you say that to all the girls,
but thank you.
- They are real. - Hmm?
Your friend asked if they are real.
He can be crude, I apologize.
I see, you're a gentleman.
One doesn't meet many of those here.
Well, I was brought up to act a certain way around a lady.
A lady?
Correct.
Oh, don't be coy.
I'm sure tons of guys hit on you all the time.
Look at you!
I get a lot of attention,
from some very weird people.
Yeah, you poor stock super star.
You ever shy?
- Around half naked women. - Noo, don't get smart.
- You're not very shy, are you? - Oh yes, I am.
But I'm an actress.
So I can pretend I'm anything.
Confident, brazen, sexy.
It's all a matter of projecting these qualities.
So, what exactly is your mission?
Yeah, I'm supposed to find out if...
I'm supposed to find out, I mean...,
how you learned to dance like that.
...were here tonight. Tonight... Well! What do we have here?
Oh, a fresh fine thing in her dressing room.
I am so sorry. We have to get ready for our second show.
Oh, but you can stay sweetie. Help me dress, if you like.
Yeah, I would, but
My friends are waiting for me, sorry.
Can I have my brush?
Can I have your phone number?
You never told me your first name.
It's Barry.
My phone number.
You're under no obligation to use it.

- Cali, he's so cute. - Cal you gonna get yourself some action?
Go girl!

- She's a lady. - I knew it.

Watch where you're goin'!
Get out of here!
You're so funny, fucking funny.
Did you hear that girl? She's like: "Look
out for the dumb fuck on the floor!"
Listen, Winchell, you never come here without
me. I don't trust you around all those fags.
Hey, I don't need your permission to go anywhere.
- Hey, watch out buddy. - It's about time.
Sorry guys. Winchell was getting his hole punched by a freak.
- None of my business. - Serious?
Nope, nope, no one smokes in the car.
What are you talking about? It's
Winchell's car and he smokes.
- No one smokes. I'm allergic! - Alright, alright, no
one smokes in the car. Alright can we just go?
-I didn't do anything. Nothing happened back there. I didn't
fucking touch anyone. - It's alright. We don't care.
What are you talking about? I care. He's in my unit.
Coming out of the closet there, Winchell?
Oh, only for you, sweetheart. Get in the fucking car.
Look what you've started, Fish.
Oooh, lay off, Winchell! Won't tell no one you kissed a chick.
What?
What chick?
That chick.
Ooooh! That's not a chick.
- Yes it is. - No, no, it's not. It's not a chick.
- Yes it is! - I'm not gay.
Sometimes, I wish I was gay.
What? What are you talking about?
What's wrong with you?
Hey man, open the door. Open the door!
Fish, open the fucking... What are you doin'? Fish! Open the door!
Ooh shit! Aw! It's all over the side of the car!
- It's funny, right? Oh, no!
Cover it! Go right.
Cover it! Go right.
Come right. Move it.
Cover it!
Hang back Winchell, hang back!
Damn!
Medic! We need a medic over here!
Hang in there Winchell. Everything's going to be okay. Medic!
We need a medic. You're going to be
okay. Don't you die on me Winchell.
Don't you die! You're going to be okay,
buddy. Don't you die Winchell.
It's just a fucking field maneuver!
- Not just fucking field maneuver. - Give me the key.
Hey! You're lucky! You got a chest wound.
Thanks
- Hello? - Do, do you know who this is?
I believe this is the gentleman I met Saturday evening.
Do you remember my name?
Of course I do.
- Do you remember the mine? - I can't say it right now.
I understand.
- Who you talking to? - My momma
So wha... what were you saying?
What can I do for you, private Winchell?
I need a change of scenery.
I was wondering if we could get a cup of coffee.
Well, I would like that.
But, you saw me, uh, Saturday night in a show,
with lights and stage make-up. - Yeah, so?
What you saw on stage Saturday night
is not the same creature you'll find having
a cup of coffee on Wednesday evening.
Look, I remember what you look like. You're pretty.
- You always tell your mom she's pretty? - Yeah... hold on.
I'm talking to my girlfriend from
Kansas. She ran into my mom.
I'm relaying a message.
What were you saying?
My neighbors are throwing a barbecue this evening.
Well, is that an invitation?
Yes, that's an invitation.
Wow! Look at him. He cleans up real good.
Go on! Be a hostess.
He's here, and I'm in this awful top.
Poise, voice, confidence...
-I see you made it. - Military dress?
It's my military training.
You can take the girl out of the Navy, but
you can't take the Navy out of the girl.
- You look great. - Thanks
Come on, I'll introduce you to my friends.
Um, this is Lester and this is Ginger.
- This is Barry. - Hi, nice to meet you, welcome.
- Hey man. - Nice to meet you.
- You dance at the club, right? - Yeah, I dance, sing, perform, whatever.
- Yeah, in front of strange men. - Don't listen to him!
- They're nice. - Ginger's kind of like my mentor.
Come on, let's get you a beer.
So, what do you do in the field? Just practice
camping and sneaking up on each other?
Yeah, we do that. We also get to launch TOW missiles.
I qualified on my weapon last month.
I made all my regs. Totally hit my marks.
Now, when we gotta launch missiles,
the Sarge wants me, 'cause
I hit the target.
Top gun.
- So, you don't launch real missiles all the time? - Hell no!
They're like $10,000 each.
- You don't smoke? - No
But I don't mind if you do. Seems to suit you.
Why? Because I'm a redneck from Missouri?
Under all this hair and makeup I'm just a piece
of white trash from the hills of Tennessee.
I like shit kicking country music and
sometimes, when I'm home all alone,
I eat baked beans right out of the can.
What?
You military?
Navy
was
Where were you stationed?
Saudi Arabia, in the Gulf War
I managed a field hospital.
All my training was about healing things.
Yours is all about destroying things, and killing people.
- I love the infantry. - Oh, I'm not criticizing you.
You know, your freedom has a price.
And the guys in my unit, we're the guys that pay that,
with our lives. And I love them,
- for that. - That's hot.
In the navy, were you Calpernia?
No.
God, this humidity... wrecks my hair.
- That's not funny. - I thought that you were hot?
No? Does that cool you down at all?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I apologize. Let me clean that off you.
Don't do it! Don't do it.
- Fuck! - Ohh!
Sorry
Aw, it's all over ya.
You're all wet.
I better go clean my blouse,
at home.
Yeah, I should probably get...
going back to base anyhow.
I had a good time.
I'm glad you came.
Me too, thanks for inviting me.
I'd like to see you again.
Oh no, no, no. That's very nice. But
the bars in Nashville are full of girls.
Yeah, but you're not like the other girls.
That's an understatement.
- He wants to see me again. - And why shouldn't he?
He's a straight boy,
a handsome, gentle, mannerly straight boy,
- with a job, and a car. - And he
knows... I mean, you told him?
- Cali! - I think he knows.
Or he knows as much as he wants to know.
What if he wants to make love? Does
Lester pay attention to your, uh...
My un-feminine boy parts?
He ignored them for the first few years.
And, then he started to experiment.
But to me sexual orientation isn't black and white. I mean...
very few people are 100% anything these days.
Ginger,
he's from Kansas.
- This place sucks. - Fisher, come on, man. You're
the one who dragged us here last week.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Why don't you take my car and
come back in a couple of hours?
I need a drink.

Slow down?
That's what guys usually say, before they never call me again!
Maybe we should slow down. Perhaps
we ought to take a break.
Why don't they just tell the truth? Say "I don't have the balls
for this sort of thing. I just don't have the balls for it."
Sweetheart...
Maybe you should go home,
and think about this.
Yeah
Winchell!
You got lipstick all over your face.
Chick with a dick! Chick with a dick...
Hey, don't cross the line with me Fisher.
Chick with a dick! Chick with a dick!
Oh, and that's not your girlfriend, right there?
Fisher?
Hey, honey!
Let's go. Fuck it!
You're doing well in the field. How
you coming with your class work?
I'm ah, studying every free minute.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
That's good, good. You do your studying on post or off?
Mostly on, sometimes off.
- This looks great. - Thank you! - Jenifer's a great cook.
It's frozen. Just kidding!
So, you seeing someone off post?
Yeah, I date a little, like everyone else. Do
you want to see a picture of my girlfriend?
Sure
OK!
You're a lucky man, private.
Yes, I am.
Do you know why I'm a good sergeant, Winchell?
I have instincts about my men.
You stick with it, and you never give up.
That's the way my mother raised me.
I'm going to take a chance. I'm betting
on you for Soldier of the Month .
See the two dogs here: Rufus seven
years in a row, best in show.
His brother Amadeus, every year, a loser.
Go figure.
Oh my God!
Well, do you want to come in?
- I got good news. - Oh? - Yeah, my sergeant
wants to nominate me for Soldier of the Month .
Oh, congratulations!
Please excuse the mess.
Ginger's helping me come up with a few numbers.
She wants me in her pageant on July 4.
Can I get you something to drink?
A soda, a beer? I can make some lemonade.
- Beer is good.
Thank you.
- What kind of pageant? - Miss Tennessee
Entertainer of the Year
I'll have to perform two numbers; design a gown
for the evening wear competition;
and answer some questions.
Oh, what kind of hostess am I? I didn't offer you a glass.
-I'm fine, really. - OH!
I 'm a genuine butterfingers today.
I make you nervous?
Yes
You make me nervous.
Why?
Because you're so normal.
And and, my life style is so far outside
of what's considered normal,
I'm, I'm off the charts. OW!
It's alright, that's...
Do you know what you're getting yourself into?
I don't care.

- I must look a wreck. - Shh, go to sleep.
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
You look like an angel.
- I'm some kind of... - Shh,
You're not allowed to say negative things
about yourself in my presence.
And that's an order, private.
Oh God!
Burgers almost ready, boys, burgers almost ready.
I'll make you a burger, Winchell.
Ahh, you probably already have plans tonight.
Considering you have such an active social life.
Baker
Martinez, your burger
Let's go Nasty!
- There's some ketchup, and some onions... - Get the ball.
...whatever the hell you want.
Millens, come get your burger.
It's raining out.
You guys know where I can find module A?
A for asshole?
-You ought to be able to find that. - Hoo Wah!
It's over there.
- What's your name, soldier? - Glover
Well it looks like they sent us a real seasoned warrior, Glover.
- That's your new battle buddy, Millens. - Fuck you, baby!
- Hey - Hey
That's a cool dog you got!
Nasty, she's our company mascot.
Can I have a cigarette?
Sure
I used to have a dog just like her, a pit bull. She was crazy.
If anybody ever came near me, she'd, she'd try and kill them.
- This is a Rottweiler. - Yeah, well
that's what I meant, a Rottweiler.
That Diaz is an asshole, though, eh?
I mean, he was all over me, he was like
What are you doing in the military?
Aren't you a little bit young? You
sure you want to be here, son?
- Well, how old are you? - 17, my mom had
to sign the papers to get me into this place.
That's not a spick's business, though, right?
- Hey Diaz is... he's cool. - Yeah, he's alright, he's okay.
- Did you make a burger for Nasty? - No,
I got two for me and I got two for you.
- Take the cigarettes outside. The smoke
comes right into my apartment. - Sorry
Don't worry about it. There are no regulations
against smoking in this building.
Well, you know, you could just shut the door.
Gna, gna, gna...
Your smoke comes under the door, you moron.
Why don't you back off, Fish.
It's his first day.
Oh, what's what's a matter Winchell! You like him? Huh?
He's a good looking kid.
Be careful of Winchell. He's a bona fide rope sucker.
- What are you trying to do? - Huh, wha?
Get me discharged?
It was a joke.
Calm down! Your dinner's ready.
- You're the one who disappears from post all the time. - Hey!
Nobody knows who you're with
or where you go. I'm just say...
I am entitled to a private life that's
separate from my army life.
Well just so you know, Winchell, the army's not a normal job.
We're supposed to live for each other,
- and we're supposed to die to each other. - No Fisher.
I mean people in the army they
have families, careers, girlfriends.
Right, Winchell, girlfriends,
not some... mutant, from Visions.
Who brought me to Visions in the first place?
- Are you going to eat? Because your
dinner is getting cold. - No, thank you.
Thank you very much.
You don't get it, Winchell, do you?
This is the 101st Airborne Division:
D-Day!
Hamburger Hill! Those guys laid
their lives down for each other.
In combat! This isn't combat!
Fuck you!
Why did you do that?
Are you crazy?
Listen Fisher, I think we need to go down to mental health.
Those pills you're taking are fucking up your head.
I'm not fucking around!
- You are going to clean it? - No, I'm not going to clean it!
- Clean it! - No, I didn't make the
mess. I'm not going to clean it!
- Clean it! Are you going to clean it?
- No - Clean it! - No... Get off me!
I'm not going to fucking fight you!
Jesus Christ! Oh shit! Shit, Winchell!
- You alright? - Fuck off!
- Go wash up, man. - Yeah man, go to the
hospital. - To the emergency room, man.
You're covered in blood! You got
blood all over my fucking wall!
What's wrong with you, Fisher?
- Which way the fuck...
- This is not going to pose problems. - Nothing happened, a fight, and no more.
Shut the fuck up alright, now you guys just hang back.
I'd like to be alone with Winchell for a second.
Hello, can I get some attention please?
Where the hell is everybody?
Let me see this.
- You know, I can get an article 15 for this shit.
- Fuck! It's those fucking pills you take, man.
- You mix them with alcohol. - I know, you're right.
- they fuck up your mind. - You're
right. You're right. Listen, Winchell,
first thing Monday, I'm going to talk
to somebody at mental health.
I know I need help, man. I know I need help.
I mean, they... people laugh...
And you're the only one... that takes me seriously.
I gotta fuck that shit up, man. Why do I gotta... fuck
Why do I always gotta fuck shit up, man?
Why I did I do that? Why did I do that?
- Uh, Fisher, listen... - Stupid! - Hey, hey!
I'm going to tell Diaz I threw the first punch.
You'd do that for me?
But my private life stays private.
Yeah, yeah no problem.
Everybody's entitled to a private life.
Thanks Winchell.
Can we get some help, here?
Sometimes you kill me, Lester.
- Hey guys - Hey Cal
Want some brews?
Here you go.
Cal?
This task has been performed correctly
when the installation of SB3082V1/G2
and the completed maintenance forms
have been inspected in accordance
with performance measures 1 through 3
within 10 minutes.
I think he's dangerous and you ought to report him.
He's supposed to be dangerous. We're infantry.
Here
Dear mom and Wally,
Here's my metal...
I think you mean "medal" with a d.
Yeah, fix it.
I bet you always had girls doing your homework.
My little cheerleader.
Here's my medal for marksmanship.
Wally you were right. The infantry's touff.
"Tough" with a "gh"...
But I can take it. I suck it up, and move on.
I miss you guys, and love you so much.
Barry
Your family loves you.
You're lucky.
- This is a bad idea, turn around. - I just want
to see the house that you grew up in.
I swore I'd never come back here. I
don't know why you're interested.
You ask me questions all the time,
about my mom, my old girlfriends.
You have your secrets.
- Like what ? - Like your birth father,
you want to talk about him?
He ran away when I was 4.
I don't even know him.
Ok, stop.
- Don't get any closer. They might see
us. - Cal, it's 6:00 in the morning.
They get up with the roosters.
Let's go knock on the door and say hello.
No sir ! What are you doing? Get back in the car!
Come on!
Get back in the car!
Barry? Jesus Christ! Get back!
Was this yours?
That's a boy's bike.
Come on Cal, it'is your family. You can't live without...
The first time I saw my mother, my
hair was down to my shoulders,
and I had been on hormones for a year.
I thought I looked alright.
I tried to keep the conversation flowing.
That woman could barely speak.
The tears were falling down her face,
and she called me by my boy's name.
I have to be more myself, before I walk up to that house again.
What does that mean, you're supposed to more yourself?
Please take me home.
What's, what's this word?
Orchidectomy
That's removal of the male genitalia.
- Va - Vaginoplasty
That's where they, um create a
vagina out of the penile tissues.
I'm going to finish looking at this later.
I know, it seems extreme.
How much does it cost?
Oh, up to $50,000.
Jesus! $50,000! Do you know what you can get for $50,000?
- You can get a Jaguar, a Porsche. - Uhh, I have a car.
You don't need this.
Let me show you something.
Petty Officer Third Class (E4) Alberts: Scottie
I've been running from that kid my whole life.
Now, I just feel sorry for him.
I'm tired of being a freak.
Does that make me a freak if I'm in love with a freak?
- But you said? - Yeah, I know what I said.
- You know what really pisses me off? - What?
You outrank me.
That's right private (E3). I do.
Yo Winchell! If you want, we can work on
your presentation for Soldier of the Month .

And so my mom and I, we're living
in this place with ghosts - no shit.
Did you ever hear a ghost talk at night?
I mean, they don't ever shut up.
And not only that, you can hardly understand
a word that they're saying.
Well, my mom's really great. So, she pipes up and
she says "Hey you ghosts, shut up in there."
And that was it, I mean they just fell silent. My mom's great.
Do you think a homosexual can be loyal to his unit?
No, I, I don't see how a homosexual can be loyal.
Because he'd always have this agenda
to try and hump you, right?
Right, I mean he'd always be trying
to have sex with you, and stuff.
- So, you should probably talk to Diaz about it. - Okay.
Talk to him about what?
Well about having homosexuals in our company.
We do?
One of the guys in our unit spends a
lot of time at this club for deviants.
Yeah?
And I'm pretty sure that he gave
someone fellatio, in that club.
Well, well, tell me who it is. Because I,
I can take care of that sort of thing.
- I don't want to get any of my friends in trouble.
- You don't want to get any friends...
Okay, yeah I think I know who you're talking about.
I mean, 'cause we're just talking, off the record, right?
Okay, we're just talking off the record.
Morning sergeant.
Diaz, Glover's got something to say, I think you ought to hear.
- Okay, soldier. - Yes, sergeant.
Apparently, one of the men from our company
attends a club that caters to deviants.
Deviants?
Sergeant, word is that he gave fellatio to a man in this club.
You're saying that you saw someone from
this company having sex with a man?
No sergeant,
Fellatio
And I didn't see it, I just heard about it.
So that makes it a rumor.
In which case, you don't need to be spreading it.
- Dismissed, Glover. - Yes, sergeant.
Where is this club?
- Nashville, First Sergeant. It's called Visions.
- Dismissed, soldier! - Sergeant
Close the door on your way out.
Glover's a troubled kid. He's always running around
telling tales. There's no problem in this unit.
Oh, we got a problem in this unit,
if there's a homosexual here.
I say we find out where the boys have
been spending their weekends.
According to policy, you can be a homosexual and
serve in the army, as long as you don't do anything
that's homosexual or tell anybody about it.
So, if you don't do anything homosexual and
you don't tell anybody you're a homosexual,
what makes you a homosexual?
Does this policy make any sense to you?
Come on, Diaz.
You can't directly ask someone if he or she is gay.
That's the policy.
Directly
Okay
- Hey Baker. - How you doing, sarge?
- How was your weekend? - Pretty good!
Yeah, what'd you do?
Usual shit, you know. Cruising with the boys;
having beers; partied at The Wet Spot;
giving all my money away to the strippers.
- The fucking place is a gold mine. - Sure!
Hey, you ever hear of this place, uh, I
think it's in Nashville, called Visions?
- Yeah - You ever been there? - I was there once.
Yeah? What's it like?
It's all fucking perverts, sarge. I never went back.
Yeah, who else went with you? I
mean you didn't go alone right?
Fuck no, sarge.
I didn't even want to go there in the first place.
I'm done lifting here. So, I was going to go do some cardio.
Look, uh, like I said, sarge,
once I found out what kind of place
it was, I mean, I never went back.
If it wasn't your idea, who's idea was it?
It was one of fucking Fisher's hair-brained ideas, you know,
It was just a gag, sarge, you know it's, uh,
just a little fucking goofy. Just went there,
laughed at the fucking weirdos.
Okay, Baker, okay, thanks
You've been talking shit about me.
What?
You've been talking shit about me.
No, I haven't.
Fuck, Fisher I'm going to get my ass kicked out of the army.
This is my life man, this is my career. I mean, do you think...
- you think this is funny? You think this is
some fucking joke? - Hey, hey, calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down!
Just relax, Winchell. Jesus!
- I think it's Glover... - Glover?
... got a grudge against you.
- You put him up to it. - No, I didn't.
- Yes you did, you were there. - I was where?
Visions!
So was Baker, so was Martinez
It was you, fucker, you started this
whole thing for some sick reason.
Hey don't forget man,
I kissed a person in that place.
If I was starting rumors about you,
I'd be starting rumors about myself.
- Does that make sense? - No
I, I don't know, but, somehow you worked it so that you
could stay clean and all this shit comes down on me.
You drink too much, man.
You want to hear some really weird shit?
When I was little, about two or three,
my mother and my sisters used
to dress me up in girls' clothes.
I remember them doing this.
And one time when I was twelve,
I got busted for some shit at school
and they strip searched me.
And they found out I was wearing my sister's panties.
Is that fucked up or what?
- Are you trying to be funny? - Nobody else knows this...
...but you.
You're the only human being...
...just you.
You're my battle buddy. Who helped
you get through the first few weeks?
You did.
And who helped you qualify on your weapon?
- You - That's right.
You need to stick with your friends. You want
me to help you study for Soldier of the Month?
Yeah, okay
Stay loyal to your brothers.
-I'm here for you, man. - Alright
I mean, how many people, out there in the
world, would really lay down his life for you?
How many people will say that?
"I will lay down my life for you."
This squad is the best in the company.
What about that fight he had with Fisher?
Yeah, what was that all about?
Winchell's come a long way. Let it rest.
- ...too, why did you go to the club?
- Wait, are you asking me if I'm gay?
Oh that's quite a label. I did not use that
word. No, I was talking about a club.
Why you went there, why you encouraged others to go.
Well, is this the thanks that you get trying to help a friend?
Sergeant, it's complicated.
People my age, we're really trying to find ourselves.
Aha, You jerking me around, Fisher?
No, sarge
What about that fight between you and
Winchell? Huh? What was that all about?
I threw the first punch, sergeant.
Fisher was getting on my nerves. I told you that.
That's right.
How about it Winchell? You ever been to this
uh, this club for deviants called Visions?
Yeah, Fish took me.
Comes back to you, Fisher.
Does it, sarge?
Look, I believe everybody's entitled
to a private life. Don't you?

I'm working on my speech, you know,
where you tell the judges why you oughta be chosen
for Miss Tennessee Entertainer of the Year.
My theme is going to be Independence,
you know, in honor of the 4th of July.
And I'm going to wear this with my red wig
- Whattya thi... are you ready? - Hm, yeah. - Ta Daa!
- What do you think? - It's great.
- Do you think it's too much? - Hmm Umm.
Well, it's supposed to be a little too
much. - I know you're going to win.
I won't be nervous with you there.
What's wrong?
You've got something on your mind.
I can't go to the pageant.
I've got to study for my interview for Soldier of the Month.
I mean, you've really got to know your
stuff. They ask tough questions.
Well, you can study here, or in my dressing room.
I'll get more done if I stay on base.
Okay
Ugh, who wears rhinestones but tacky drag queens like me?
I knew this would happen! - Huh what?
Did you find someone else?
- No - I'm just curious, is it a boy or a girl?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Well, if it's a boy, at least I helped you come
out of the closet. Is it your roommate?
Fisher? Are you kidding?
I saw the way he looked at you.
Fisher's straight.
What the fuck are you?
- I don't know what I am, okay? - Well,
you will not use me to figure it out!
I don't know what people want from me!
I just want everyone to be fucking happy!
I know it sounds stupid.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- I want you to do the pageant so bad. - I will. - I know...
...and I'm going to be there with you in spirit.
I know you will.
Oh... fuck...
This is embarrassing.
Why, because soldiers aren't supposed to cry?
- Exactly - You forget, I'm a veteran...
...and this is just between us, soldier to soldier.
Now let's get out of here.
Where are we going?
My favorite place in all the world.
Hey!
- Will you sing for me? - I always sing for you.
No I mean now. Without the crowd
and all the people and the money.
Perform for me?
- We left the boom box in the truck. - No boom box...

I was beginning to coalesce a dream
of me and Barry being together.
The dangerous thing about dreams: you
begin to believe they might come true.
Company present arms.
Company order arms.
This 4th of July holiday,
most of us will be enjoying well deserved rest and recreation.
But we can not forget
that this holiday honors the birth of our nation
and the birth of freedoms that we defend with our lives.
Don't forget that. In or out of uniform, you're always a soldier.
fitting if this thing blows up in my face.
Fire in the hole!
- Medic! - You scared the shit out of me, man.
Isn't this better? Hanging out with your buddies?
- Yeah - Yeah, like a normal guy.
I am normal, man.
Hah hah, I'm the normal one.
That's nothing man. That's like back
when I was uh, like fifteen or so...
...and I was hard up for cash.
So, I needed to rob a bank.
Yeah, well yeah, I mean, I robbed it.
First part was that we scoped the place
out, right? You got, you got to shop it.
Because if I was going to rob, rob a bank, I'd definitely
want Glover on my side. Wouldn't you, guys?
Finish your story. It's a good story.
- It's a good story. - So the first place had been robbed
before. And I knew that, because it had bulletproof glass.
Oh! He's in for it... ...who signed on for that?
- I mean, - Holy moly Batman, - It's tight -bulletproof glass!
you're not going to get more than $3,000 out of it.
I mean you guys don't believe me, do you?
Who the fuck are you guys huh? You guys are bullshit.
You've never done anything big with yourselves before.
Leave me alone, fuck! You're shit heads all of you!
- Dial it back Glover. - Fuck! -Glover, hey Glover
Man, go put your drunk ass to bed.
No one wants to hear your bullshit story.
- Bullshit! Bullshit? You fucking homosexual!
- I don't want to fight you Glover.
- You don't want to fight me? - No - No, you'd rather fuck me.
- Yo, they're laughing at you. Can't you see that? - Fuck you!
- Hey Hey hey, Glover, Winchell! Guys, take it easy!
No fucking faggot's going to tell me what to do.
Glover, Glover, you don't want to fight Winchell.
Back off Fish. I don't need your help.
- Yeah, back off, man 'cause... - What? - ...come on!
- Come on. - I won't fight. - You don't want to fight!
Fucking homo.
Fuck you, faggot. You don't fight? You
fucking homosexual, you don't fight?
You made me do this!
I'm going to fucking kill you, Winchell!
- I'm going to... kill you, man! - Why'd you push me?
- I'm going to fucking kill you!
- You're the one who pushed me!
What's going on over here?
A little disagreement, sergeant.
I told them to shake hands and be over it.
Go on, guys.
It's not over, Winchell.
- It's over. - It's over.
Keep it down. Alright!
Yes, sir.
Keep it down!
- I'm going to fucking kill you, Winchell!
- Shut the fuck up, Glover.
- You got punked off and got it!
- You're always pushing things over the fucking line. - Me?
- You got punked out by that faggot? - No!
That faggot kicked your ass right here in front of everybody?
- Fisher drop it. - Shut up, Fish.
I'm going to kill him! You guys hear! I'm going to kill him !
- Right, like you robbed a bank, huh?
- I did rob the bank. - I did rob the bank!
I did it! Robbed it!
[Winchell is smoking.] What the fuck are you doing?
I'll cut you some slack. After all, it's a holiday.
Listen, Fish...
...next week, I'm going to apply for a transfer.
Maybe I can get my own room.
With all the shit going on and...
I need a place where I can study and focus,
and smoke a fucking cigarette if I feel like it.
I mean, we'll still be battle buddies but...
...I need some space.
We're going to play some baseball, if you're interested.
Are we cool? Alright, we gotta smuggle this thing all the way...
Put it in my bed.
- Hey just leave me alone, alright Winchell?
- I want to straighten this out.
I'm warning you Winchell, just leave me alone, alright?
Here are these cigarettes. They're... peace offering.
Come on, man, we're in the same
company. I can't have beef with you.
Take 'em.
Go on take 'em.
I'm sorry. Alright?
- It's cool? - Yeah it's cool.
- It's over. - Hoo Waa!
Winchell, you're going to help me take
this keg upstairs and put it in my bed.
Bitch!
Man, you're drunk, I'm going to bed. Good night.
-Whoa, it's your turn to take care of
Nasty, man. - Fine, come on Nasty.
Keep that stinky dog out of my room, Winchell.
Fine! We'll sleep in the hallway. Come on Nasty. Come here.
You know, fuck this shit man. I'm
hungry. I'm going to the shopette.
- What about the keg? - You're coming with me.
Fuck it. We'll take it.
Why let a little bit of rain get in the
way of a good baseball game?

- Happy Independence Day! - Sir!
- Oh shit! You got something on your face, man! - What?
I think it's a bruise from where Winchell hit you.
Fuck off, man!
That faggot kicked your ass!
No, he didn't!
I kicked, I kicked his ass.
He go crazy some lightning
strength
- Oh God, these stairs. - Shhh
Why don't you slap him?
Why don't you slap him?
- What, are you afraid? - No
- Smack him! - You want to smack him?
Close the door!
- You want some ramen noodles? - No, I'm fine man.
- Did you hit me? Did you hit me? - No no
What?
- It was Glover. - Leave me alone.
I'm not fucking around with you!
What?
- Fuck you, Winchell! - Fuck you, Winchell!
You know, we should fuck him up.
I ever show you this bat? This right here
is an authentic, autographed, Louisville slugger.
I boosted it from a store in Lincoln before I enlisted.
Yeah, I had a bat just like this, exactly.
We killed some skunks with it.
- And, man, it stunk so bad we had to
burn it... - Shut the fuck up, you moron.
- Hey, how does your face feel, where
he hit you? - Fuck, fuck you! Alright?
- I mean does it hurt? 'cause it looked
like it would hurt. - Fuck you!
You should go out there and fuck him up.
Yeah, you know? I ought to. I really should.
Go for it!

Personnel on this military base are reeling, from
a deadly assault that occurred here last night.
The information we have, at this moment, is
that Private First Class Barry Winchell, was
attacked under mysterious circumstances,
at approximately 1:00 A.M. He was taken first,
by ambulance, to the hospital on post,
then transferred by helicopter to University General,
where surgeons worked frantically to revive him,
but without success.
I've been told that Winchell had massive head trauma,
and his parents have authorized him being
removed from life support, just minutes ago.
That's all we have to date on this story. We'll keep you
up to date on it, as details become available. Back to...
Cali, oh my God! I just heard on the news.
They killed him! They killed him!
The 911 system was down. So the boys tried to call and um...
You seem to be upset, sergeant.
I am upset.
I'm very upset.
I lost one of my best soldiers.
The emergency system is down.
The emergency system is down.
Nobody can call for help? Aw that's,
that's rich. That's convenient.
You tell me why it takes an ambulance
one hour, one hour to get someplace?
Winchell was still alive.
I don't remember mm!
Am I going to get kicked out of the army for this?
Yeah, I showed him the bat. I mean, it's, it's a,
it's a good bat. It's a great bat. It's vintage.
It's the kind of bat that you show people.
But if he's telling you that I meant for him to kill Winchell,
that's, that's bullshit.
You're the person that Time magazine referred
to as Winchell's cross dressing friend?
Yes.
I was his friend.
We were supposed to spend the weekend together.
We're family.
This is a death in the family.
Did you hear anything about him being
harassed or being called names?
He never complained about it.
He was Airborne Infantry.
When you're Airborne Infantry, you don't complain.
The imagination is the most powerful force known to mankind.
And it is my imagined self, the one who is beautiful,
and loving, and worthy of being loved,
that has been my guiding force, my inspiration.
I can only hope to become the person
Barry imagined me to be.
I pray for the courage it will take
to become a real live "Soldier's Girl".
