Major, I have news so good I've decided to deliver it personally. America needs you. There's a situation in Bosnia that requires your special services. As of this moment, you are reinstated in the United States Marines... at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. - Thank you, sir ! - Congratulations. Your unit will be leaving out of Washington. You will arrive tomorrow at 1600 for briefing. Here are your tickets.

I asked to leave. Them boys are makin' me soft. Them boys need you ! All that hard work they did, they did for you. - They did it for themselves. - Benson. Look, woman. I toured 11 separate engagements. I didn't do that to come back and be conquered by no woman and a bunch of kids. What'd you really think I was gonna do, marry you ? Put up a white picket fence ? Adopt Tiger and become the lovin' male role model ? That's not me. It's not Payne !

Alex, where are you going ? To the games. You guys better start getting ready. We gotta be there in an hour. We don't have to go to the games. Payne's gone. We don't have a chance without Payne. Listen, Payne or no Payne, I'm gonna go out there and win that stupid trophy. We busted our asses off out there gettin' ready for this. Now I didn't go through all that to come out empty-handed.
