			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>艾尔·帕西诺，真正的的世界级影帝，当一束强光打在台口，全场已经掌声雷动了，他岣嵝着身子，头上戴着犹太小帽，手上又夹又拿着一大叠帐本，低着头，急急地走向舞台中央的时候，仿佛夹带着一大片的气场。《威尼斯商人》这个老之又老的莎士比亚名著，在中央公园的小剧场开始了当代版的新诠释。</p>
<p>中央公园的露天小剧场座落在起伏小丘的中央，坐拥在高大的树林的掩映之中，舞台后侧是一个小湖，但从剧场的观众席望去，小湖也是被浓荫环抱着，只能依稀看到湖面上静静的绿萍。大约可以容纳两三千观众的剧场如古罗马露天剧场的格局建造的，高高的观众席有极好的视野。夏天纽约的夜，晚上8点天还没有暗下来，7：15分开始进场了，7：30开场。但观众还在陆陆续续进场。有人提醒其实戏已经开始了，舞台上空着戏服的演员已经在走去，谈话，搬动桌椅，最有意思的是右侧铁架上挂着一排巨大的算盘，一个人举着一要竹竿时不时拨动一下算盘珠，看了半天终于明白：那时在显示股票行情。8：10天终天慢慢暗下来，当几个演员走到台口说话的时候，大家才明白戏开始了。</p>
<p>《威尼斯商人》的此次改编，一直引起极大的争议，主要集中在犹太商人夏洛克身上。世人熟知的老故事，以及莎士比亚的反犹主义，其实已经没有什么意思可说的了，所以我想此次热怕是100%冲着艾尔帕西诺而来，毕竟夏洛克的银幕形象是他塑造的。我以为改编不太成功，剧情设计是安东尼奥还不上那三千金币，但他的朋友们愿意用九千金币换他的一磅肉，但夏洛克还是要割他一磅肉。难为了编剧，逻辑上是一定要把夏洛克打倒不可的意思，但就没有意思了。如果说我不太满意这种改编的话，却对艾尔的演出大为欣赏。他不再是《教父》中的威严形象，也失去了《疤面刹星》中野气，《女人香味》中的凌然，我们看到了一个计较、钻钱眼的、一根筋的、充满怨气、绝望的老头。他的一腔苦恼谁去说？苍凉，孤独，人生真不易。好象多少年来，钱总是与人作对，但谁都又离不开钱。</p>
<p>舞台设计真是绝对的一流水平，什么叫世界级，这就是。三道移动的铁架，几张桌椅，演员又是舞台人员，边演边搬动道具，你分不清他是在重新布景，还是在剧情中演出。</p>
<p>当深夜降临后，阵阵微风吹过，非常凉爽。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>我的房子的租期合同是在2009年1月1日起效，12月31日结束。年初签合同的时候，房东口头跟我说，最好在搬走前提前1-2个月通知房东，好让房东有时间去找下家，避免损失。这个要求在美国是合情合理的，我顺口答应了。</p>
<p>今年十一月初，我打电话给房产公司，申明我将在12月31日条款结束的时候撤离，并询问是否可以拿回押金。电话那头的女人说口头没用，必须要写字算数。我写了信，签了字，留了底，与当月房租一并寄出。</p>
<p>就在最近打包的时候我打电话再次跟房东确认押金一事的时候，同样的女人，口口声声说没有那回事，根据法律，房客必须提前90天通知房东，不然押金没收。在数次和房产公司交涉未果的情况下，我被那个女人指责为“幼稚”，“像小孩一般”。我无话可说，只能当面和她谈。</p>
<p>第二天，就是今天早晨，我来到那家办公室，我第一句话：“今天我们的每一句话都将承担法律责任”。我将我的合同摊开在他们面前，上面没有写清任何关于“90天”或者“60天”的条文，只有写：</p>
<blockquote><p>押金的作用是房客在搬走后房东用来进行维修和维护之用，假如房子状况完好，房东应当在房客撤离后30天内将押金连带利息（1.2%）退回给房客。</p></blockquote>
<p>然后那个傻老娘们儿开始耍赖，说文件里没有写，但是根据纽约州的法律，这个&#8221;90天”是默认的。我早就预料到她有这招，当场就把前天晚上打印出来的《纽约州房客权利》（New York State Tenant Rights by General Attorney）摔在她面前，说假如说你找到这条文字押金就是你的了。她找了老半天没有找到。</p>
<p>没有想到，那帮房地产公司傻逼开始想出更荒诞的理由：说我发的信他们没有收到，所以他们就根本不知道我要搬。然后我又举了三个理由：</p>
<ol>
<li>假如说你不知道我们要搬，那么为什么我能在网上看见你们在11月10日（合同到期50天前）就贴出广告了呢？</li>
<li>你们在合同到期前三个月前应该要寄出合同续签表，我的邻居都收到了我为什么没有收到？就算我收到了，根据法律，在收到后60天内房客若是没有回应房东，应当被视作自动弃权，必须在合同到期时准时撤出。</li>
<li>（比较勉强）我这个信是夹在支票里寄出（怎么证明呢？），你们怎么收到我支票没有收到我的信？</li>
</ol>
<p>为了确认，我当面还打电话给New York State General Attorney Office咨询，对方说，假如合同上没有写那么房客可以在任何时间通知房东都不会承受法律责任，除了月租客（month-to-month）必须要提前30天通知。</p>
<p>这样一说，对方哑口无言，但仍旧尽显刁民本色，想要压榨劳动人民的血汗钱：我保证退你一半，假如在1月15号前这套房子被租掉的话租金全部还清。</p>
<p>我勃然大怒：“你的生意关我鸟事？我还有其他事情，必须告辞。假如你不在我走之后30天内把押金还我，我们只有在法庭上见了。”</p>
<p>那个房东还要耍无赖：“打官司你肯定输的。”</p>
<p>我冷笑一声：“我不光告你无理由扣押我的押金，我还要告你种族歧视，年龄歧视。你自己想想清楚，想清楚了打电话给我”。说完推门扬长而去。</p>
<p>今天下午五点房产经理打电话给我，温声温气地跟我说：“黄先生，我们31号会来检房，若是没有问题的话将押金全部退回。”我说那31日见咯，我知道事情不会那么简单结束，31日检房的时候对方肯定要敲我竹杠，抓我扳头，说哪里哪里坏了。我将携我的佳能30D拭目以待。</p>
<p>这个事情的总结就是：美国还是法权比较完善的社会，所以必须要学会利用法律来保护自己的权益。很多刁民以为我年纪小，又是外国人，好欺负。以后凡是和法律搭接的事情，一定要有法律条文（合同），作为证据。必须要双方签字。像我这次其实也犯了几个错误，比如我不应当将我的notice寄平邮，应当寄挂号信，这样的话又是一个法律证据。我一时疏忽，想谁会抓你这个扳头呢？没想到无赖到这样的刁民是遍布在全世界啊。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>引用纽约时报科技专栏作家David Pogue在TED上的演讲大题：Simplicity Sells。至于sell不sell我不期望什么，因为这个博客没有主题。开博那么多年来其实就是写写日志，等于open diary，等于女人的月经。别人看看无所谓，一个人每个时期的想法和愿望都会被很即时很真切地记录下来，将来回味起来挺好玩的。</p>
<p>至于simplicity嘛，是相当重要的，好比Apple的产品，从硬件到软件，卖的就是简洁。所以学Apple的做法，把自己的博客做得简单明了，易于阅读，便于翻阅。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ueli Gegenschatz，瑞士基本跳伞家，跳伞分基本跳伞（BASE Jump）和高空跳伞两种，凡是在海拔1，000英尺（305米）一下跳伞都叫base jump。</p>
<p>2009年11月11日，就是在不少人还想不通为何自己是光棍的那一天，他从苏伊士的日出塔上做出了人生最后一跃。在下落的时候，他被一阵巨风打到失去控制导致降落速度太快严重受伤。于13日医治无效离开世界。享年38岁。</p>
<p>我第一次知道Ueli Gegenschatz是看今年的TED Conference，他讲述的是他穿着wing suit打破了跳伞滑翔距离最大的世界纪录。他的梦想是想要将wing suit发展到可以让人类彻底抛弃降落伞就可以安全着路。当他用蹩脚的英语做完这个惊心动魄的演说后，全场起立，掌声雷鸣。谁都没有想到，半年后他死在了追随梦想的路上。</p>
<p>Ueli Gegenschatz生前的演说：</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>一直以为这个片子是反战题材电影。原来头50分钟是搞笑片，我从头笑到尾，Kubrck到底是大师，镜头那么干净那么清爽，很久没看到那么爽的片子了。在这里把搞笑的对话全部收集下来。建议先看电影，然后到youtube上去看typography。</p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span>Full Metal Jacket</span></strong><br />
Stanley Kubrick</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your Senior Drill Instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be &#8220;Sir!&#8221; Do you maggots understand that? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RECRUITS: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Bullshit! I can&#8217;t hear you. Sound off like you got a pair. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RECRUITS: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training &#8230; you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You&#8217;re the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots understand that?</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>JOKER: Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who&#8217;s the slimy little communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother said it! Out-fucking-standing! I will P.T. you all until you fucking die! I&#8217;ll P.T. you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk. Was it you, you scroungy little fuck, huh?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: You little piece of shit! You look like a fucking worm! I&#8217;ll bet it was you! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, I said it, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Well &#8230; no shit. What have we got here, a fucking comedian? Private Joker? I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister. You little scumbag! I&#8217;ve got your name! I&#8217;ve got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not cry! You will learn by the numbers. I will teach you. Now get up! Get on your feet! You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: What&#8217;s your excuse? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, excuse for what, sir? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: I&#8217;m asking the fucking questions here, Private. Do you understand?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Well thank you very much! Can I be in charge for a while? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Are you shook up? Are you nervous? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, I am, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Do I make you nervous? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Sir, what? Were you about to call me an asshole?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: How tall are you, Private? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, five foot nine, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Five foot nine? I didn&#8217;t know they stacked shit that high! You trying to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere, huh? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, no, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Bullshit! It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama&#8217;s ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress! I think you&#8217;ve been cheated! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Where in hell are you from anyway, Private? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, Texas, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Holy dogshit! Texas! Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy! And you don&#8217;t look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down! Do you suck dicks! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Are you a peter-puffer? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: I&#8217;ll bet you&#8217;re the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around! I&#8217;ll be watching you!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Did your parents have any children that lived? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: I&#8217;ll bet they regret that! You&#8217;re so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece! What&#8217;s your name, fatbody? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, Leonard Lawrence, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Lawrence? Lawrence, what, of Arabia? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: That name sounds like royalty! Are you royalty? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Do you suck dicks? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Bullshit! I&#8217;ll bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: I don&#8217;t like the name Lawrence! Only faggots and sailors are called Lawrence! From now on you&#8217;re Gomer Pyle! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Do you think I&#8217;m cute, Private Pyle? Do you think I&#8217;m funny? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Then wipe that disgusting grin off your face! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Well, any fucking time, sweetheart! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, I&#8217;m trying, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Pyle, I&#8217;m gonna give you three seconds&#8211;excactly three fucking seconds&#8211;to wipe that stupid-looking grin off your face, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you! One! Two! Three! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, I can&#8217;t help it, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Bullshit! Get on your knees, scumbag! Now choke yourself! Goddamn it, with my hand, numbnuts!! Don&#8217;t pull my fucking hand over there! I said choke yourself! Now lean forward and choke yourself!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Tonight &#8230; you pukes will sleep with your rifles! You will give your rifle a girl&#8217;s name! Because this is the only pussy you people are going to get! Your days of finger-banging old Mary Jane Rottencrotch through her pretty pink panties are over! You&#8217;re married to this piece, this weapon of iron and wood! And you will be faithful! Port &#8230; hut! Prepare to mount! Mount! Port&#8230; hut! Pray! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RECRUITS: This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviours of my life. So be it .. . until there is no enemy&#8230; but peace. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Order&#8230; hut! At ease! Good night, ladies.</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Get up here, fatboy! Quickly! Move it up! Move it up, Pyle! Move it up! You climb obstacles like old people fuck. Do you know that, Private Pyle? Get up here! You&#8217;re too slow! Move it, move it! Private Pyle, whatever you do, don&#8217;t fall down! That would break my fucking heart! Quickly! Up and over! Up and over! Well, what in the fuck are you waiting for, Private Pyle? Get up and over! Move it, move it, move it! Are you quitting on me? Well, are you! Then quit you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit! Get the fuck off my obstacle! Get the fuck down off of my obstacle! Now! Move it! I&#8217;m gonna rip your balls off so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Pick&#8217;em up and set&#8217;em down, Pyle! Quickly! Move it up! Were you born a fat slimy scumbag, you piece of shit, Private Pyle? Or did you have to work on it? Move it up! Quickly! Hustle up! The fucking war will be over by the time we get out there, won&#8217;t it, Private Pyle? Move it! Are you going to fucking die, Pyle? Are you going to die on me!! Do it now! Move it up! Hustle it up! Quickly, quickly, quickly! Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel faint? Jesus H. Christ, I think you&#8217;ve got a hard-on!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Private Cowboy! Private Joker! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: As soon as you finish your bunks, I want you two turds to clean the head. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER &amp; COWBOY: Sir, aye-aye, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER &amp; COWBOY: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Joker, do you believe in the Virgin Mary? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, no, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Joker, I don&#8217;t believe I heard you correctly! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, the private said &#8220;No, sir,&#8221; sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Why, you little maggot! You make me want to vomit! You goddam communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary&#8230; or I&#8217;m gonna stomp your guts out! Now you do love the Virgin Mary, don&#8217;t you?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, negative, sir!! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Joker, are you trying to offend me?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, negative, sir!!! Sir, the private believes that any answer he gives will be wrong! And the Senior Drill Instructor will beat him harder if he reverses himself, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Who&#8217;s your squad leader, scumbag? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, the private&#8217;s squad leader is Private Snowball, sir!!! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Snowball! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">SNOWBALL: Sir, Private Snowball reporting as ordered, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Snowball, you&#8217;re fired! Private Joker is promoted to squad leader! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">SNOWBALL: Sir, aye-aye, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Pyle! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Private Pyle reporting as ordered, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Pyle, from now on Private Joker is your new squad leader, and you will bunk with him! He&#8217;ll teach you everything. He&#8217;ll teach you how to pee. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PYLE: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: Private Joker is silly and he&#8217;s ignorant, but he&#8217;s got guts, and guts is enough. Now, you ladies carry on. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER, COWBOY &amp; PYLE: Sir, aye-aye, sir!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines. And then you will be in a world of shit. Because marines are not allowed to die without permission! Do you maggots understand? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RECRUITS: Sir, yes, sir!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumbasses knows? Private Cowboy? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COWBOY: Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: That&#8217;s affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twelve people from a twenty-eight-storey observation tower at the University of Texas from distances up to four hundred yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: That&#8217;s right, and do you know how far away he was? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: Today&#8230; is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few marines! God has a hard-on for marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RECRUITS: Sir, yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">HARTMAN: I can&#8217;t hear you! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RECRUITS: Sir, yes, sir!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>HARTMAN: What is this Mickey Mouse shit? What in the name of Jesus H. Christ are you animals doing in my head? Why is Private Pyle out of his bunk after lights out?! Why is Private Pyle holding that weapon? Why aren&#8217;t you stomping Private Pyle&#8217;s guts out? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, it is the private&#8217;s duty to inform the Senior Drill Instructor that Private Pyie has a full magazine and has locked and loaded, sir!</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>RAFTERMAN: Yeah&#8230; You know what really pisses me off about these people? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: What? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RAFTERMAN: We&#8217;re supposed to be helping them and they shit all over us every chance they get&#8230; I just can&#8217;t feature that. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Don&#8217;t take it too hard, Rafterman. It&#8217;s just business. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RAFTERMAN: I hate Da Nang, Joker. I want to go out into the field. I&#8217;ve been in this country almost three months, and all I do is take handshake shots at awards ceremonies. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: You get wasted your first day in the field and it&#8217;d be my fault. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">RAFTERMAN: A high school girl could do my job. I want to get out into the shit. I want to get some trigger time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: If you get killed, your mom will find me after I rotate back to the world and she&#8217;ll beat the shit out of me. That&#8217;s a negative, Rafterman.</p>

<p>LOCKHART: &#8220;Diplomats in Dungarees&#8211;Marine engineers lend a helping hand rebuilding Dong Phuc villages&#8230;&#8221; Chili, if we move Vietnamese, they are evacuees. If they come to us to be evacuated, they are refugees. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">CHILI: I&#8217;ll make a note of it, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: &#8220;N.V.A. Soldier Deserts After Reading Pamphlets &#8211;A young North Vietnamese Army regular, who realized his side could not win the war, deserted from his unit after reading Open Arms program pamphlets.&#8221; That&#8217;s good, Dave. But why say North Vietnamese Army regular? Is there an irregular? How about North Vietnamese Army soldier? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">DAVE: I&#8217;ll fix it up, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: Lawrence Welk Show&#8217;s gonna go out on TV in two weeks. Dave, do a hundred words on it. AFTV&#8217;ll give you some background stuff. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">DAVE: Yes, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: &#8220;Not While We&#8217;re Eating&#8211;N.V.A. learn marines on a search and destroy mission don&#8217;t like to be interrupted while eating chow.&#8221;Search and destroy. Uh, we have a new directive from M.A.F. on this. In the future, in place of&#8221;search and destroy,&#8221; substitute the phrase &#8220;sweep and clear.&#8221; Got it? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Got it. Very catchy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: And, Joker&#8230; where&#8217;s the weenie? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: The Kill, JOKER. The kill. I mean, all that fire, the grunts must&#8217;ve hit something. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Didn&#8217;t see &#8216;em. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: Joker, I&#8217;ve told you, we run two basic stories here. Grunts who give half their pay to buy gooks toothbrushes and deodorants&#8211;Winning of Hearts and Minds&#8211;okay? And combat action that results in a kill&#8211;Winning the War. Now you must have seen blood trails&#8230; drag marks? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: It was raining, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: Well, that&#8217;s why God passed the law of probability. Now rewrite it and give it a happy ending&#8211;say, uh, one kill. Make it a sapper or an officer. Which? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Whichever you say. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: Grunts like reading about dead officers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Okay, an officer. How about a general? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: Joker, maybe you&#8217;d like our guys to read the paper and feel bad. I mean, in case you didn&#8217;t know it, this is not a particularly popular war. Now, it is our job to report the news that these why-are-we-here civilian newsmen ignore. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Sir, maybe you should go out on some ops yourself. I&#8217;m sure you could find a lot more blood trails and drag marks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">LOCKHART: JOKER, I&#8217;ve had my ass in the grass. Can&#8217;t say I liked it much. Lots of bugs and too dangerous. As it happens, my present duties keep me where I belong. In the rear with the gear.</p>
<p></span></p>

<p>STORK: Hey, Payback. How do you stop five black dudes from raping a white chick? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">PAYBACK: Fuck you, Stork. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">STORK: Throw &#8216;em a basketball.</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>DOORGUNNER: Anyone who runs is a V.C. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined V.C. You guys oughtta do a story about me sometime. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Why should we do a story about you? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">DOORGUNNER: &#8216;Cause I&#8217;m so fucking good! That ain&#8217;t no shit neither. I&#8217;ve done got me one hundred and fifty-seven dead gooks killed. And fifty water buffaloes, too. Them&#8217;re all certified. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Any women or children? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">DOORGUNNER: Sometimes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: How can you shoot women and children? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">DOORGUNNER: Easy. You just don&#8217;t lead &#8216;em so much. Ain&#8217;t war hell?</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>JOKER: The dead have been covered with lime. The dead only know one thing. It is better to be alive.</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>COLONEL: Marine, what is that button on your body armor? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: A peace symbol, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: Where&#8217;d you get it? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: I don&#8217;t remember, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: What is that you&#8217;ve got written on your helmet? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: &#8220;Born to Kill,&#8221; sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: You write &#8220;Born to Kill&#8221; on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What&#8217;s that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: No, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: You&#8217;d better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Yes, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: Now answer my question or you&#8217;ll be standing tall before the man. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: The what? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: Whose side are you on, son? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Our side, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: Don&#8217;t you love your country? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Yes, sir. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: Then how about getting with the program? Why don&#8217;t you jump on the team and come on in for the big win? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Yes, sir! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">COLONEL: Son, all I&#8217;ve ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It&#8217;s a hardball world, son. We&#8217;ve gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;">JOKER: Aye-aye, sir.</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>JOKER: I wanted to see exotic Vietnam, the jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture and&#8230; kill them. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill.</p>
<p></span></p>
<hr size="1" /><span style="font-family: ARIAL; font-size: x-small;"></p>
<p>JOKER: We have nailed our names in the pages of history enough for today. We hump down to the Perfume River to set in for the night. My thoughts drift back to erect nipple wet dreams about Mary Jane Rottencrotch and the Great Homecoming Fuck Fantasy. I am so happy that I am alive, in one piece and short. I&#8217;m in a world of shit&#8230; yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid. </span></p>
