Starship Troopers (1997) Edit

A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety...

A citizen has the courage...

A Company's that way.

A leadership caste, a a hive brain.

A murderer was captured this morning and tried today.

A planet hostile to life as we know it!

A planet hostile to life as we...

A writer's got a right to be nosy.

Abandon ship. That's an...

According to military intelligence, it'll be random and light.

Ace, help me! Hold her down!

Ace.

Actually, Diz, I promised Carmen...

After Fleet glasses the planet, MI mops up.

After having been duly advised and warned...

After they rip your guts out, huh?

Ah, shit.

Ah, well, we all have one thing in common.

Ain't much to look at after you sc**** them off your boot.

All crew, all sections, stand by to cut in C drive.

All is fair in love and war.

All is well

All is well

All personnel prepare for drop.

All personnel prepare for drop.

All recruits must report to the Federal Transportation Hub...

All right, Ibanez.

All right, so they grow 'em big and dumb on the farm planet, huh?

All right, where were we?

All right!

All right!

All right! Way to go, team!

All right.

All right. Spread out!

All sections secure. EBS is high normal.

All systems go.

All you gotta do is push a button, sir.

Am I right?

And a civilian.

And as much longer as may be required...

And crew for her.

And everyone will forget that this was the moment.

And here's the stomach.

And I asked him to show it to me, sir.

And if they haven't, tell 'em to talk to me.

And imposed the stability that has lasted for generations since.

And interstellar travel.

And it probably knows we're comin'.

And it wasn't the mighty Fleet, it wasn't some fancy new weapon.

And it's still 86 percent combat effective.

And so is the perfect selfless member of society.

And the score is now 41 38.

And the talk says tomorrow.

And then we'll know how to beat them.

And when it turned out to be you,

And you know...

And you think that you can lick my navs?

And your whole fucking race.

And, you know, you gotta be a citizen for that.

Anytime you miss your mommy, quit!

Anytime you think I'm being unfair...

Arachnids.

Are calling Big K...

Are joining up to fight for the future.

Are you rated to repair the M 3 Tactical Helmet, Rico?

At ease.

At ease. Listen up.

At work, at home, in your community.

Attention on deck!

Attention. All personnel report to your stations.

Aw, come on, it's just a bug. You better put your goggles on.

Aw, come on. Too bad for her if she's not around.

B Bill, pick it up. It's Johnny!

Back in school, sir. Don't you remember?

Battlegroup, this is Roughneck 2 0. We are under...

Be right with you.

Because I got to have you.

Because I think I'm gonna go career.

Between a civilian and a citizen?

Big bad bugs, huh?

Bite down on this, son.

Boat coming down, sir!

Boot's pretty tough.

Brain Bug sighted moving west of grid five.

Brain Bugs? Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive!

Bravo 6 3, two aboard.

Break for high orbit!

Break!

Buenos Aires has been wiped off the Earth.

Bug hole. There.

Bugs don't take prisoners.

Bugs! Bugs!

But do you understand it? Do you believe it?

But everyone's talking about it...

But have I taught you anything of value this year?

But more than that...

But their evolution stretches over millions of years...

But then I think about what you're doing, and I try harder.

But this time we're ready.

But what makes you think you're good enough?

But you can blow off a limb...

But, uh, yeah, sure. Why not?

But, uh...

By human standards, they are relatively stupid...

By hurling their spore into space.

By the intrusion of humans into their natural habitat...

By the Mobile Infantry to commence bombardment of Planet P.

By the needs of the Federation.

Bye.

Call for retrieval.

Can you guess what it is?

Can't we just be friends, Diz?

Cancel that!

Cancel that!

Captain, we're in the path of an unidentified object...

Captain!

Carl and I are signing up tomorrow. Come with us.

Carl! Carl! Hey!

Carmen!

Carmen! Oh!

Carmen?

Carmen.

Carmen. Carmen.

Carry on.

Cease fire. Put your hand on that wall, trooper.

Check it.

Chin up.

Citizen rule. People making a better tomorrow.

Clear in five, four...

Clear.

Close compartment 21!

Come on, Ace. Back of the line now! Back of the line!

Come on, Carmen.

Come on, Carmen. It's the last dance.

Come on, come on, come on!

Come on, Diz! Don't die on me!

Come on, let's see if they posted the math final.

Come on, you apes! You wanna live forever?

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Go, go, go!

Come on! Run, run, run, run, run!

Come on! Who am I?

Come on.

Communications are down, ma'am. They're gone.

Copy that. Move out!

Correct.

Crisis for humankind.

Damn it.

Deep inside the Arachnid Quarantine Zone...

Dirty bugs came in right while they were having chow.

Diz, stay put! What's the problem?

Dizzy was my friend.

Do I have to pull rank?

Do you get me?

Do you get me?

Do you get me?

Do you think I'm funny? Do I make you laugh?

Do you think there's any possibility of salvaging this man?

Does citizenship mean that much to you?

Doesn't look like it to me.

Dominates this galaxy, now and always!

Don't be afraid. Can't do human. Yet.

Don't change the subject.

Don't forget to write.

Don't get any ideas about my girlfriend!

Don't let... Don't let...

Don't think about it. Just go on instinct.

Down!

Down. Set. Tight left.

During a live fire exercise...

Elegant proof of intelligence, isn't it?

Enrol in the Federal Service...

Evasive action.

Every day, Federal scientists are looking for new ways to kill bugs.

Every school kid knows that Arachnids are dangerous.

Everybody hear that? Rank is not an issue here.

Everybody should have a friend like me.

Everyone fights. No one quits.

Everyone fights. No one quits.

Everyone's doing their part. Are you?

Everything copacetic, Lieutenant?

Excuse me, sir.

Execution tonight at 6...00. All net. All channels.

Fall back into the compound! Fall back!

Fall back!

Federal scientists are working around the clock to probe its secrets.

Federal scientists struggle to explain...

Federal studies are being conducted in your community.

Federation pays my way.

Figuring things out for yourself...

Fire at will!

Fire in the hole!

Fire in the hole!

Fire teams! You locate a bug hole, nuke it.

Fire!

First fire team with me. Next team in ten seconds.

First one there gets to fly.

First platoon, left flank!

First platoon, we're going for that ridge.

First sergeant, get your gear in section...

First thing Fleet Academy looks at is your math scores.

Five metres from object.

Fleet's mobilized for a big operation.

Flight Command, we have confirmation. The Rodger Young is down.

Flores, sir.

Follow me!

For failure to abide by safety regulations...

For incompetence of command...

For mobilization to destroy the Arachnid threat.

For negligence which contributed to the death of a teammate...

For not less than two years...

For you and me, Johnny.

Forget about it, Ace. You don't stand a chance.

Four!

Friends.

Fully automatic Morita. Who wants to hold it?

Fun and games are over, children.

Funny how they always want to be friends...

Future Sky Marshal. All right, Rico, your turn.

Games and Theory?

Get down!

Get in line like everyone else.

Get on the com and tell Fleet to glass that rock.

Get out of here now!

Get out of here now!

Get out of here.

Get out. Get out.

Get somebody in the communications tent and get me an uplink.

Get us clear for warp, Number Two.

Giants leading 43 41. Just over 42 seconds remaining.

Give him a squad. See what he can do.

Give me something, please!

Go, Simmons! Go, go, you sissy!

Go! Here!

God, I hate this place.

Goddam bugs whacked us, Johnny.

Good for you. Go find out.

Good, good. Then it's all settled.

Guess I ought to lose the hat when I'm off duty.

Guilty.

Hand me that towel, will you?

Hands at your side!

Has no fear, doesn't now about death...

Have fun! That's an order!

Have you ever met one? I can't believe...

Have you ever seen anybody so pleased with himself?

Have you lost your mind?

He always had this little smile.

He got him! Yeah!

He sort of discourages you.

He was a teacher. Kind of like he knew it all.

He's always late when he walks you home to fish for a kiss.

He's here because of a girl.

He's in there. It's over.

He's on a mission to go eat it.

Heard about this crazy girl coming through the Academy.

Help me!

Help me!

Help me! Help me!

Help me.

Help! Help! Help!

Here at the Buenos Aires Sports Arena.

Here! Make 'em count!

Here's a bunch of Ml kids that look like they could eat bugs for lunch.

Here's a tip... Aim for the nerve stem, and put it down for good.

Here's some of this!

Here's some! Yeah!

Here's the entertainment!

Hey, at ease, little soldier. It's all the same muck.

Hey, don't forget about this afternoon.

Hey, Flores, you know Rico from Buenos Aires.

Hey, guys, we ought to get tattoos.

Hey, hey, what's going on?

Hey, I hate to be rude, buddy, but word has it she's dead.

Hey, Johnny!

Hey, Johnny! Hey!

Hey, look. You're dead!

Hey, Rico, do you want to dance?

Hey, Rico, want to sit together?

Hey, shoot a nuke down a bug hole, you got a lot of dead bugs.

Hey, well, I got something that might hurt just a little bit more, buddy.

Hey, you like that?

Hey, you take that stroll down Washout Lane...

Hey! Goddam it, Breckinridge, clear my line of fire!

Hey! Your helmet.

Hey...

Hi, Johnny.

Hi.

His successor, Sky Marshal Tahat Meru...

His successor, Sky Marshal Tahat Meru...

Hit it!

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hold here! Hold what you've got!

Hold on. Something's up.

How about a trip to the Outer Rings?

How about you, son?

How are you, son?

How come whenever something goes wrong, it's always you, Breckinridge?

How could this happen?

How do you know?

Hut! Hut!

I am not going on vacation!

I am your senior drill instructor, Career Sergeant Zim!

I can tell you now.

I can't.

I couldn't have done it without you, Diz.

I didn't learn from one mistake, and I made another, sir.

I do now, of my own free will...

I don't get it, Rico. You took your licks.

I don't know.

I don't know. It's my last night as a civilian.

I don't think that's gonna leave a lot of room...

I doubt anyone here would recognize civic virtue...

I expect the best, and I give the best!

I feel like things might just work out.

I figure that kind of proves I don't have what it takes.

I got into Harvard, but my father says forget it.

I guess you and me could be buddies. What do you say?

I had to evade capture. The security of the Federation was at stake.

I hate farming. I mean, uh, Mobile Infantry...

I have operational knowledge of what we're up to out here.

I have to follow my heart. I'm sorry.

I hear they need a new lieutenant. Want the job?

I hope you're ready for more.

I hope you're right, Carmen.

I joined up for the wrong reasons. I got a guy killed.

I joined up to get out on my own, and you had to tag along.

I just made sure that we would run into each other.

I just want to get out on my own...

I know that's not what you wanted to hear.

I love it out here.

I love you.

I love you.

I mean, I think what I did was probably the best thing for both of us.

I mean, imagine flying a half a million tons of starship.

I need a squad to pull 'em out!

I only have one rule:

I presume, at your request.

I remember when you used to dance. Come on.

I repeat. South 42, east 118.

I see the ace of spades.

I think you heard me.

I think you should know...

I think you're gonna want to see this.

I thought you were dead.

I want to be a citizen.

I want to command a ship of my own.

I want to have babies.

I want to talk to Marco. His sister's at Fleet.

I wanted to win, sir!

I was hoping it would be all right if I came home.

I was wondering...

I will.

I wish to reconsider my request to drop out, sir.

I wish you'd just shoot me.

I wonder if there's a handful of guts in the whole bunch of you.

I wonder what the city fathers of Hiroshima would say about that.

I would.

I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for her.

I'd rather take ten lashes in Public Square than see you ruin your life.

I'll see you again.

I'll take it, till I get killed or you find someone better.

I'm afraid it just isn't true.

I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill them all!

I'm gonna go for Federal Service.

I'm gonna kill you! I'll kill you!

I'm just here to fight.

I'm not in any hurry.

I'm not, but a lot of my troopers are.

I'm out!

I'm serious. I think you have really beautiful eyes.

I'm sorry I haven't written you sooner, but, uh...

I'm sorry. I've been an idiot.

I'm the guy whose gonna teach you to fly this crate.

I'm trying to kill some bugs, sir!

I've always wanted to go there.

I've been thinking, and I'm gonna do it, Carmen.

If I knew the difference between a citizen...

If it reached up and bit you in the ass.

If they didn't want you, they would have kicked you out.

If you don't do your job, I'll kill you myself.

If you think you're psychic,

In a simulated combat environment.

In Geneva, the Federal Council convenes.

In simulation, my supervisors could never keep up.

In the form of this asteroid belt.

Incoming!

Indeed, with our very lives...

Irvin, Lathom, cover the rush.

Is anyone receiving?

Is if you bust yourself to private!

Is it safe? We've got to get out of here!

Is it you?

Is sentenced to administrative punishment.

Is the only freedom anyone really has.

Is this your signature, Rico?

Is wishful thinking at its worst.

Is wishful thinking at its worst.

It came out of the Arachnid Quarantine Zone, ma'am.

It helps. I know.

It hurts!

It just doesn't pay to be polite.

It may look bad, but if that's the worst you suffer, then that's fine.

It really stinks, you going.

It was a drill instructor named Zim who captured a Brain.

It was sweet, but it took forever.

It was you, wasn't it? You told me how to find Carmen.

It's a reward,

It's a term of service.

It's afraid!

It's afraid.

It's all right...

It's dead, Watkins! It's dead!

It's gonna cost an arm and a leg, you know?

It's just good to hear from you.

It's like pure picnic by comparison.

It's my arm. I think it's broken, sir.

It's my decision, not yours.

It's my decision. I made it.

It's my helmet! It's all screwed up!

It's my helmet! It's all screwed up!

It's not a career.

It's not really working out here for me, Dad.

It's pretty clear what she wants.

It's simple numbers. They have more.

It's strange. There's almost no wounded at all.

It's these canyons. Go to higher ground, Sergeant.

Jeez, someone really humped the bunk.

Joh... Joh...

Johnny Rico, are you jealous?

Johnny Rico.

Johnny, don't let me go!

Johnny, I'm sorry it had to be your unit on P.

Johnny, it's different now. We're at war.

Johnny, people get killed in the Federal Service.

Johnny, why won't you change your mind?

Johnny!

Join the Mobile Infantry and save the world.

Just doing my part.

Just say it once. Try it on for size.

Kitten, no!

Kitty, Kitty.

Klendathu, source of the bug meteor attacks...

Left face!

Let go of me! Come on! I'm gonna kill you!

Let me tell you something.

Let's get her out! Let's go, let's go!

Let's get out of here!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Let's go!

Let's sum up.

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant.

Lift off!

Like it happened to someone else.

Listen up!

Live to be in the Mobile Infantry.

Look at him.

Look at that. Thirty five percent, ladies and gentlemen.

Look out!

Look out!

Look, Diz, I want to talk to Mr Rasczak.

Look, when you vote, you are exercising political authority.

Looks like a bug was in his brain, sir.

Looks like I'm your girl, sir.

Luck didn't have anything to do with it.

Make it 20 minutes.

Make up your own mind, Rico.

Man, they're defended. No way in.

Maximum score has been 280.

Maybe you are.

Mayday!

Mayday. Mayday. This is Roughneck 2 0 to Battlegroup. Do you read?

Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

Means more bugs for us to kill.

Medic!

Medic!

MI does the dying. Fleet just does the flying.

Mobile Infantry is passing by

Mobile Infantry is passing by

Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today.

Mom, don't get mushy.

Most of the time I don't think about it.

Most of them are fresh out of boot.

Move, move, move!

Move, move, move!

Move!

Move! Get her into the boat!

Moving toward us at high speed.

Mr Rasczak!

My father's not home tonight.

My God.

My mother was right about you.

Naked force has resolved more issues...

Negative on your request, DeRuyter.

Nerves of steel, huh?

Never in my life have I seen...

Never pass up a good thing.

Next time we meet, I'll probably have to salute you.

Nine!

No one here in the AQZ knows exactly...

No one really knows why some people are sensitive and some aren't.

No one talks about the lieutenant that way.

No thanks, Diz.

No, forget it, Lieutenant. He's Mobile Infantry.

No, I have not been to paradise

No, luck's not a factor.

No, no, no!

No, Rasczak doesn't do that at all.

No! God!

No.

No. What do you want?

Not even the transponder signal.

Not with an officer. No, sir.

Nothing lives in what was once called the Latin Paradise.

Now that's the kind of gal who makes squad leader.

Now, who here thinks they got what it takes to knock me down?

Nuke 'em, Rico!

Number Four, contact Fleet. Tell 'em there's a loose asteroid headed their way.

Of the body politic, defending it with his life.

Of the meaning and consequences of this oath...

Oh oh, that is no way to act.

Oh, Assistant Instructor.

Oh, God, that hurts.

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Oh, God! Oh! Oh!

Oh, he just wants some attention.

Oh, I gave him the impression there's a grub crawling up my mom's leg.

Oh, I joined up for her.

Oh, I love you, baby, I love you!

Oh, Johnny, it's us.

Oh, my God!

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Not Ibanez again. She's crazy!

Oh, Rico! Lover boy!

Oh, third watch always seems to last forever.

Oh, yeah! We're gonna fight, and we're gonna win!

Oh. Anyway, I guess I'm ready to go.

Oh. At ease.

Okay, watch and learn. Watch and learn.

On whose authority, Corporal?

Once somebody asked me...

Once we understand the bug, we will defeat it.

One day it will all be over...

One day...

One zero zero niner five two.

One, two, MI!

One, two, three, four...

One!

Open that.

Or they revoke your flight status, and mine.

Orbit in five, Ibanez.

Order arms!

Orders.

Out of the ashes of Buenos Aires comes first sorrow...

Outbound group 1380, all hub 29 connections.

Outbound group 94B to Tereshkova...

Outlines her new strategy.

Ow! God! God!

Ow! Oh! Get out! Get off my leg! Oh! Carl!

Pain is in your mind!

Pay attention.

Perry, fake left. Bertolli, you go long.

Pilot Trainee Ibanez reporting for duty, ma'am.

Please repeat. Please repeat.

Please try your call again later.

Position: South 42, east 118.

Prepare for landing.

Present arms!

Prisoner, halt!

Probably won't see each other again.

Produce an unlimited supply of bug meteorites...

Profile suggests an asteroid, ma'am.

Pull! Pull! Pull!

Put your hand on that wall!

Quiet!

Ready, go!

Ready?

Really?

Recruit Flores reporting for duty, sir!

Recruit trainee John Rico...

Remember your training, and you will make it back alive!

Remember, all graduating seniors must fill out a 710 form.

Rescue party! Third squad, come with me!

Retros in three...

Rico, did you give the recruit permission to remove his helmet?

Rico, flip six three hole. Got it? Hey, Rico?

Rico, take 'em out!

Rico, what's the moral difference, if any...

Rico, where's my communication?

Rico, you are relieved of squad command!

Rico, your call's going through.

Rico!

Rico!

Rico! Rico!

Rico. Rico. Rico!

Right there, that's my bunk, where I dream about you every night.

Rodger Young cleared for undocking and departure.

Roughnecks killed more bugs than any other outfit on Big K.

Roughnecks, let's move.

Roughnecks, this is lead. Prepare for attack.

Sanchez!

Second squad, follow me!

Secure this compound. Police these bodies.

See, when you're trained to kill...

See? All it takes is the love of a good woman.

Sentence... death.

Sergeant, we've already lost two recruits over this incident.

Service guarantees citizenship.

She thinks that we ought to team up officially...

She was a citizen of the Federation.

She was a soldier.

She's dead, Carmen. She's dead!

She's still alive.

Should I be?

Should I call you " sir"?

Shujimi!

Silly name. There should be a law against...

Sir, I don't understand.

Sir, I heard it was the best, sir!

Sir, I needed everyone in my squad operational, sir!

Sir, my family, my whole family, was in Buenos Aires, sir.

Sir, no, sir!

Sir, yes, it is, sir!

Sir, yes, sir. Breckinridge reported a helmet malfunction...

Sir! I guess maybe I do, sir!

Situation is...

Sky Marshal Dienes announces plans...

Sky Marshal Dienes resigns.

So get your shit wired and report in ten minutes.

So take her out easy, cadet.

So, Rico, what are you doing after the dance?

So, what are you doing after the game?

So, what did the captain say?

So, what do you hear?

So, you haven't done it yet, have you? Don't lie.

So, you still gonna play for Rio?

Soldiers like Private Ace Levy and Lieutenant John Rico.

Some kind of smart bug.

Someone made a big goddam mistake!

Someone's got to teach you guys how to play some pool here.

Something given has no value.

Something's wrong.

Sometimes I think I won't make it.

Sorry, buddy.

Sorry, Mr Rasczak.

Source of the bug meteor that destroyed Buenos Aires.

Squad right!

Stand by. Attention on deck!

Stay down, sucker!

Steady as she goes, Number Two.

Steady as she goes, Number Two.

Suck in that gut! Feet together!

Suddenly he's afraid he's never gonna see me again or something.

Sugar, your weapon.

Sure you do.

Sure. Don't go away.

Switching to slave on my mark. Mark.

Take care of yourself, Johnny.

Take it there.

Take the example of the Arachnids...

Take the number two chair, Ibanez.

Talk things out.

Ten lashes.

Ten!

Thank you, Lieutenant!

Thank you, sir.

Thanks.

Thanks. You read my mind.

That derived from Klendathu, the Arachnids' home planet.

That mission had a very low survival probability.

That would be mine, sir. I assumed command of the mission.

That you don't have what it takes to be a citizen.

That's all, folks.

That's great.

That's home.

That's it. We're empty, ma'am.

That's me.

That's my job you're talking about.

That's the heart.

That's what the Mobile Infantry is good for.

That's where I want to go!

That's why they do these kind of Federal studies.

The Arachnids' defensive capability.

The bugs laid a trap for us, didn't they?

The contrary opinion, that violence never solves anything,

The devastation we are seeing is unparalleled.

The distress call was a trap.

The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand.

The Federal Council met moments ago and voted unanimously...

The first words and the last words out of your stinking holes will be "Sir"!

The intelligent military actions of the Arachnids.

The meteor was shot out of orbit by bug plasma...

The only good bug is a dead bug.

The Roughnecks are always ready, sir.

The Sky Marshal has other plans for Planet P.

The supreme authority from which all other authority is derived.

The trouble is, you are not good enough the way you are.

Then anger.

Then it hits me, and I, uh, can't stop crying.

Then why did you order your man to remove his helmet...

There is some kind of bug that we haven't seen yet...

There you go down Washout Lane.

There's a gravity field out there.

There's a place for that sort of thing.

They make you do things. They made Farley call headquarters.

They must have made you squad leader by now.

They probably wouldn't say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed.

They sucked his brains out.

They're doing their part, are you?

They're just like us. They want to know what makes us tick.

Third squad!

Thirty five percent. Very nice.

This came for you today.

This is for all you new people.

This is for you new people.

This is Rodger Young. We're going down Repeat, this is Rodger Young.

This is Roughneck 2 0 on tac three.

This is Roughneck 2 0 on tac three. Come in, please.

This is Roughneck 2 0 on...

This is Roughneck 2 0.

This is Roughneck 2 0. Are you receiving? Over. This is Roughneck 2 0.

This is the captain speaking.

This is the part that's best for both of us.

This is traffic control. Proceed on vector five niner two two seven.

This is when it turned.

This is where we live. It's not much, but it's home.

This isn't random or light. Someone made a mistake.

This one's for me!

This year we explored the failure of democracy...

Three metres from object.

Three, two,

Three!

Throughout history than any other factor.

Ticonderoga, this is Rodger Young requesting approach vector.

Tigers lead with 2...46 remaining...

Time out Giants.

To ensure that human civilization, not insect...

To ensure the safety of our solar system...

To fight the bug...

To make the safety of the human race their personal responsibility.

To the brink of chaos.

To think this had to happen to me.

Today we're gonna pay a visit to Bug City.
