he was so qualified.
I mean, you set records in a pool?
That's amazing.
I'll bet it was like, what,
eight feet deep in the deep end?
What if your nose plug didn't work?
What if another swimmer
had cut into your lane?
(SNICKERING)
For the love of God,
you could have been killed.
Your schedule says that you will
perform a PT test this morning.
That will not be necessary.
Water is where
you've been called to serve.
Water is where you will be tested.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
This will serve
in place of your PT in-test.
This is a golno-go exercise.
You will tread water for one hour.
You touch the wall, you fail.
You touch the bottom, you fail.
You fail and you go home.
Senior, this school operates
on a two-challenge rule.
You can't throw them out
on their first day.
If you cannot survive
in a warm pool of water,
then you have no business being here.
Does this class understand?
CADETS: Yes, Senior Chief!
Oorah, Class 5506.
Now, who here can tell me
the rescue swimmer's motto?
"So others may live," Senior Chief!
Oh, I feel safer already.
You willing to sacrifice your life
so others may live, Goldfish?
Yes, I am, Senior Chief.
You will have to earn that right.
I want all of you to think about that.
There's going to come a time
when you reach the point of exhaustion
and you wanna give up.
Question is, will you?
SKINNER: There are three letters
that will set you free.
DOR. Drop on Request.
Look at that.
Waste of time.
-You all right?
-Hey. Come on, stay up.
(CADETS GRUNTING)
CADET 1: Somebody help him out.
Hey, he's going under, man!
CADET 2: Help him out.
Come on!
-Help him out.
-Help him out!
Guys, relax, man!
Come on.
CADET 3: Come on, man.
You're dismissed.
-I cramped up.
-You're gone.
INSTRUCTOR 1: Let's go, Lyons,
out of the water. Hurry up.
-Let's go.
-INSTRUCTOR 1: Let's go.
On your feet.
First lesson in physics, people:
muscle does not float.
Petty Officer Watson,
pull them out of the pool.
Aye, aye, Senior Chief.
Let's go, people, out of the water.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Hurry up! Let's move, people!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Class leader, right here.
I thought you said you were willing
to sacrifice your life for another.
I am, Senior Chief.
Then why didn't you
save your teammate
when he reached out for you?
I wasn't aware we were working
as a team, Senior Chief.
That's the only way we work,
swim champ.
Aye, aye, Senior Chief.
(OZOMATLI PLAYING
SATURDAY NIGHT)
Asshole.
-Come again?
-You heard me.
Hey, hey, hey! Ease up! Ease up!
-It's not worth it.
-Come on.
Good news, Lyons. I think there's
an opening on my buoy tender.
I'll put in a word for you, huh?
I'm really gonna miss that guy.
-Hey, man, what are you doing?
-Got your bunk back.
-Captain.
-CAPTAIN: Ben. Come in.
You work fast.
Lyons,
he was one of our top candidates.
Sometimes you gotta shoot a hostage.
Look, we all know
that you're a legend and all,
but our program
has been proven to work.
There's a gap between training and
what really happens out there, Cujo.
-Oh, really?
-That's right.
My intention is to narrow that gap.
Now, if someone has a problem
with that idea,
I'd like to hear about it.
Is this how it's gonna be, sir?
Yes, it is.
-Permission to be dismissed, sir?
-CAPTAIN: Granted.
Let's go. Let's go.
Keep it together. Look tight!
Keep it together. Let's go. Let's move.
You've got three minutes
to get this gear on. All of it.
WATSON: Set! Go!
(KASABIAN PLAYING CLUB FOOT)
INSTRUCTOR: Let's go.
Are you ready?
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Come on, rescue swimmer!
Don't quit on me.
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Pop tall! Pop tall! Pop tall!
(CADETS ROARING)
If you make a mistake, just fess up to it.
Take your licks and we'll press on.
Everybody now is gonna pay
for your potty mouth.
-Down. Up.
-CADETS: One!
Down.
-Up.
-CADETS: Three!
Down. Up.
CADETS: Five! Six!
-Forward.
-Seven!
Are you crazy?
I'm the commander! Get up!
