HARTMAN

(voice over)

From now on,

until the day you die, wherever

you are, every marine is your

brother. Most of

you will go to Vietnam. Some of you will not

come back. But always remember this:

marines die, that's what we're

here for! But

the Marine Corps lives forever. And that

means

you live forever!

a killer!

A killer, yes, sir!

in close-up, now completely with-

drawn, barely able to answer HARTMAN.

f!cking name? O-three-

hundred, Infantry. You made it. Perkins!
