I was watching "Stripes" last week, and I remember watching this movie in the theater. Good movie from the past. It came out in 1981. "THAT'S THE FACTS, JACK!"
This really doesn't have anything to do with the northwest, but John Candy was in this film, and he did a film called, "Volunteers" and his character was named, "Tom Tuttle from Tacoma."
This is great acting and dialogue from Bill Murray in a scene where he is trying to motivate the company into finishing the training and graduate.
We're all very different people.We're not Watusi.
We're not Spartans.
We're Americans.With a capital A, huh?
You know what that means? Do you?
That means that our forefathers...
...were kicked out of every decent country in the world.
We are the wretched refuse.
We're the underdog.
We're mutts.
- Here's proof. His nose is cold.- So is his brain.
But there's no animal that's more faithful...
...that's more loyal,more loveable than the mutt.
Who saw Old Yeller?
Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end?
Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure.
I cried my eyes out.
Yeah.
So we're all dogfaces.We're all very, very different.
But there is one thing that we all have in common.
We were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army.
We're mutants.
There's something wrong with us,something very, very wrong with us.
Something seriously wrong with us.
We're soldiers,but we're American soldiers.
We've been kicking ass for 200 years!
We're 10 and 1!
