*****************37mm AAA position, Stockton Field***************

Lt. Col Brors conducting inspection: Keep a sharp eye out boys. Your Jap is waiting for you to close your eyes! <moves on down the runway>

PFC Suarez: Do you really think the Japs are going to attack, Sarge?

Sgt. Whitman: Suarez, let me ask you something. Did you ever hear of ****ing Stockton before this started?

PFC Suarez: No Sarge, never did.

Sgt. Whitman: Well, neither have the ****ing Japs. Nothing is going to happen in Stockton because nothing EVER happens in ****ing Stockton, Suarez. Did you ever wonder why they never issue us ammo? That's so we don't shoot down our own planes, Suarez. We are ****, Suarez, and you are lower than ****, Suarez, because you are a ****ing Mexican with no goddamn ammo in ****ing Stockton, Suarez.

PFC Suarez: I love your inspirational speeches, Sarge.

Sgt. Whitman: Goodamn it, Suarez, you are the most irrepressible SOB I ever met. What the Hell is wrong with you?

PFC Suarez: I like Stockton, Sarge. You ever been to the Imperial Valley? Stockton is the Goddamn Garden of Eden.

Don't you guys have some sort of house rule about involvement of semi-sentient autonomous life forms in this game? The guys in Novato will be more than a bit pissed about you going off copyright a mere week before their big heyday.
