When You Battle 6 Trillion Enemies That Will Eat You Alive,
There Are Only Two Rules...
There Are Only Two Rules...
EVERYONE FIGHTS
NO ONE QUITS
[Johnny Rico]: Mr. Rasczak, I want to join the Federal Service and become a citizen.
But my Dad thinks I should go to college and remain a civilian as he
has.
What should I do?
[Jean Rasczak]: Figuring things out for yourself is practically the only freedom anyone
really has nowadays.
Use that freedom.
[Dizzy]: My mother always told me that violence doesn't solve anything.
[Jean Rasczak]: Really? I wonder what the city founders of Hiroshima would have to say
about that.
*to Carmen*
You.
[Carmen]: They wouldn't say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed.
[Jean Rasczak]: Correct. Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else.
The
contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful
thinking at its worst.
This is for all you new people: I only have one rule.
Everyone fights.
No one quits.
You don't do your job, I'll shoot you myself.
You get me?
[Jean Rasczak]
You once asked me for advice. You want some now? Never pass up a good
thing.
[Jean Rasczak]
Someone asked me once if I knew the difference between a civilian and a
citizen.
I know now.
A citizen has the courage to make the safety of the
human race their personal responsibility. Dizzy was my friend. She was a
soldier.
But most important, she was a citizen of the Federation.
