Men of Honor (2000) Edit

A big future.

A bus ticket too.

A chief petty officer shall not drink.

A few more steps.

A person doesn't study on anything, boatswain's mate.

About face.

Admit it, Carl.

Afternoon, chief.

Ain't even been two.

Ain't that a bitch.

All he's got to do is complete the exercise.

All right, make way.

All right.

Alpha Whiskey, this is Charlie Victor.

And be sure to kick him out.

And I can keep this.

And if he should fall, he will fall in such a manner...

And lock up, would you?

And me? You better than me?

And no self respecting Navy man makes a living driving mules.

And remember: One night stands may be over by morning...

And what you gotta do now...

And when it gets hard...

And which one is that?

Answer me, goddamn it!

Anyone who ain't back here on time will have to answer to me personally.

Are you familiar with the principle of Boyle's Law?

ASNF.

Asshole, now you're going to address me as master chief...

At a constant temperature...

At ease.

At least give me that much.

Attention on deck!

AWOL. AWOL.

Baby, we can have dinner like an old married couple.

Baseball season's over.

Bastard!

Be the best.

Because diving is the most dangerous job in the Navy.

Because I'm a master diver!

Because they said I couldn't have it.

Becky, get your toys. Your daddy will be home soon.

Besides...

Best get moving.

Best get moving. Ready, Jane, John.

Better salute him, or you'll spend your first night in the brig.

Beware what you wish for.

Big future.

Biggest naval battle in history.

Billy...

Blue diver, come in.

Blue diver, this is captain.

Blue diver, we have an unknown contact.

Blue diver, your tool bag is on the river bottom.

Blue diver?

Boatswain's Mate Brashear, 37.

Boatswain's Mate Brashear, 37.

Boatswain's Mate Carl Brashear...

Boatswain's Mate Carl Brashear...

Boots, Cookie, square away, ladies. You're next in the water.

Both lobes of the lungs were severely scarred.

Boy, you're in good with Captain Pullman now.

Boyle's Law describes the behavior of gases under varying pressure.

Brashear, get on that steadying line.

Brashear, you have the barracks to yourself.

Bring him in.

Bring him up.

Bring it up anyway, chief. I like my ocean clean.

Bring them home so we can figure this out.

Brooklyn? Brooklyn.

Bust the old rules, if you have to.

But if I win, you ship out tonight. Deal?

But if you can't...

But it ain't gonna work.

But the joke is, I'll wash out if I fail my next exam.

But when you're ready to leave...

Call the shore patrol.

Can I still dive?

Can they keep up with me?

Can you really keep up with healthy divers half your age?

Can't cheat the laws of nature forever.

Captain Hanks is the senior officer...

Captain Hanks ordered you to remain here, chief.

Captain wants you back on the boat now.

Captain, I concur with your assessment.

Captain, if I recall Navy regulations, the diver may be helped to his feet.

Captain, the sub kicked up half the ocean bottom.

Carl, are you okay? Carl?

Carl, what the hell are you doing?

Carl.

Carl...

Change a fucking bedpan!

Change him out now!

Charge it when you get where you're going.

Charged with locating it before the Soviets...

Chief Brashear is AWOL. I want him found and arrested now.

Chief Brashear.

Chief Decker, you are the chief master at arms...

Chief Sunday, effective immediately...

Chief Sunday, we never met, but I served with you.

Chief, are you okay?

Chief, start the project time on all divers.

Chief!

Chief.

Class 0252, dismissed.

Colder than a well digger's ass, chief.

Come home, Carl.

Come in, blue diver.

Come in, Carl.

Come in.

Come on now.

Come on now. This ain't worth dying for.

Come on, baby. Let's go home.

Come on, boy.

Come on, Brashear. You're almost there.

Come on, Carl.

Come on, Carl. You'll miss the bus.

Come on, Cookie. Get up.

Come on, drop your dicks! Let's go!

Come on, Jane.

Come on, move. Move.

Come on. Come on! Get up there, Jane. Come on.

Come on. Good boy. Good girl.

Come on. Good girl.

Congratulations.

Cookie.

Could you do that, Senior Chief Brashear?

Cut it off.

Cut off my leg and assemble a medical review board 12 weeks from today.

Dad, the mail chopper's here, so I better get topside.

Damn!

Deal.

Did you know that ordinary house dust is composed...

Dismissed!

Disregard that order!

Diver coming up and over.

Diver, now! Tell him I want him up alive!

Diver's coming up!

Divers, square yourselves away and approach the rail.

Do I feel what?

Do they...

Do you feel that?

Do you hear me, chief?!

Do you hear me?

Do you honestly feel that, as a man...

Doc Maddox'll bring in a family where the kids work too.

Don't amount to shit.

Don't bring him up till he stops moving.

Don't come back here.

Don't end up like me.

Don't leave! Carl, don't leave me.

Don't stare at him.

Don't take promises.

Don't worry about the boat. Get that hose to Rourke.

Don't you get it? It doesn't matter if I help you.

Don't you see? I'm not like you?

Don't you, chief?

Don't. Don't ever come back here.

Donny...

Eight.

Embolism.

Engineman Crofoot, 69.

Eventually, you're gonna be able to walk again, with a cane.

Everyone calls him Mr. Pappy.

Excuse me, senior chief. Is there a problem?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Facedown.

Fine.

Fine. Irrelevant.

Fire Controlman Mellegrano, 91.

Five.

Flunk me. But don't punish him for being decent to me.

For that is the closest he will ever get to being a hero.

For those just joining us, our top story continues...

Forget it.

Forgive me, sir, but to me the Navy is not a business.

Fouled. Now get it unfouled.

Four hours, nine minutes. Better late than never, Crofoot.

Four weeks to train him, then a reinstatement hearing...

Four.

Fraternizing among Navy men?

Friend of yours.

Fucking gonna be a hot one today.

Gentlemen, sirs, returning to the issue at hand...

Gentlemen.

Gentlemen...

Get ahold, John.

Get away! Get away from me!

Get him inside.

Get in. Hoist away.

Get on with it, senior chief.

Get the hoe, Jane!

Get up there!

Get up there. Come on now.

Get your goddamn Wisconsin ass back to bed, Snowhill!

Give me a wrench, a spare lifeline and an air hose!

Give Mom a big hug for me. Your loving son, Carl.

Give us a smile, chief.

Go on home now. Nothing to see here.

Go read to yourself. Don't give me another thought.

Go, baby.

Go, Master Chief Sunday!

Go, Sunday!

Go.

Goddamn it, Cookie, move your ass! I want my 12.

Goddamn it, I got a man dying, sir!

Goddamn it!

Goddamn, I've had girlfriends who could weld faster. Move him along.

Goddamn! Hey, I got an idea. Maybe you could use me around here.

Goddamn. Looks like I missed one hell of a party.

Good afternoon, admiral.

Good flange work, Rourke.

Good morning.

Good night.

Got it, swim champ?

Green diver, you have three minutes to get your patch hung...

Had anything to drink today?

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Haul in that line.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Haven't you had enough career trouble?

He ain't gonna fail.

He ain't said not one word since we left the recruiter.

He busted him down a stripe and shipped him out.

He can stay.

He don't have to be fast tomorrow.

He drank himself into a $7 casket, but not me!

He has something. Proceed with caution.

He is a salvage expert.

He shouldn't be too hard to spot.

He stays down any longer, he'll get mail.

He still does. Permission to relieve him.

He wanted a party. Let's give him one.

He wants to know if you'll marry him.

He'd trade you and me and every other sea dog...

He'll be with us a few weeks...

He's a war hero.

He's an alcoholic and must remain here in detox for 30 days.

He's gonna pass.

He's near dead now, sir.

He's the biggest drunk in the Navy is all.

He's there.

Held your breath for...

Hell ain't got nothing on the South Pacific.

Hell, I don't know who classes up the joint more:

Hell, I don't know why anybody'd want to be a Navy diver.

Hell, I don't know why anyone would want to be a Navy diver.

Hell, you ain't in the Navy. You are a damned deserter.

Hello?

Help!

Here, sir.

Hey, Donny...

Hey, I got your telegram.

Hey! Hey! How about some flowers for your young lady?

Hold him up.

Hold that.

Honor, sir.

Hope you're better than the last cook.

Hours ago, an American B 52 bomber flying a routine mission...

How will you come back with one leg?

However, I wouldn't be here today if not for our greatest tradition.

However, if he should drink, he shall not get drunk.

However, we will pump air to you for as long as you can stand the cold.

I am a doctor, Carl.

I am a Navy diver.

I believe Gunner's Mate Snowhill's a liar!

I can quit.

I can't breathe.

I can't do that, chief. I haven't reported for duty.

I can't.

I didn't hear your answer!

I didn't know you had a daughter.

I don't hear anyone welcoming Boatswain's Mate Brashear.

I don't know any songs!

I don't know, chief!

I don't move up in rank unless I dive.

I don't owe you a goddamn fucking thing!

I expect so. Now stay there and change that boy out, you hear me?

I got no room for heroes or stuttering swim champs with a wife and kids.

I guess he did.

I guess he did.

I guess not.

I guess that fucker got his in the end.

I have an unidentified metal object protruding from the bottom.

I have located my project and request my tool bag.

I haven't seen him since I was 9.

I heard you and Mama talking.

I heard you were a hell of a swimmer, Snowhill. State champ?

I just got back from fighting a war, making the world free for democracy...

I just made you a deck seaman three days ago.

I know you. Your smell hung in every damn shack I ever lived in.

I love this song.

I love you, Jo.

I love you.

I may be some dumb ****** from Podunk but I'm making something of myself.

I might be able to pull a few strings.

I need my air hose. I can't breathe, Carl.

I pass, I become an intern, maybe someday a doctor.

I passed my finals.

I pulled my father out of too many Navy bars.

I see. Fine.

I served with him at Leyte Gulf.

I stole the pot!

I told Doc Maddox I'd be done by Friday and I will.

I told you. We're a public library, not a tutoring service.

I want to come back.

I want to dive again.

I want to go home now! I want to go home now!

I want to make master chief.

I want to quit!

I want to quit! I really want to quit!

I want you to welcome Bayonne Diving School's first colored trainee...

I was so scared.

I will grant you your hearing...

I wish I knew what I was gonna be.

I won't make master as a standby.

I wouldn't believe everything that recruiter says.

I wrote it.

I...

I'd like to make admiral before I die.

I'll bounce dive, put him on a rescue line.

I'll buy you a tall one over there.

I'll come back, help mow the hay.

I'll endorse your request.

I'll find something else.

I'll show you the barracks.

I'll tell you what.

I'm afraid the condition is totally inoperable.

I'm asking this:

I'm doing my best, Hart.

I'm from Wisconsin.

I'm getting dizzy.

I'm going to be starting my internship at Bellevue.

I'm here, captain.

I'm here, Hart. What do you need?

I'm in diving school across the river.

I'm looking to make a career move.

I'm not going to school, Daddy.

I'm not just good at it. I was born for it.

I'm not sure what I'll be, but I'll make you proud of me.

I'm okay.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'm out of here. I have to get out.

I'm ready. Let me go.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, it's just not possible.

I'm sorry, Jo.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm the best diver in the Navy.

I'm the sorry son of a bitch put here to get through your skull...

I'm three months late.

I'm transferring you to their unit.

I'm trying, but this thing's real awkward.

I'm trying, it's too tight. Send down a line.

I've lost two men, another drowning. I won't let you commit suicide.

If he should fall, he will fall in such a manner...

If he should get drunk, he shall not stagger!

If he should stagger, he shall not fall!

If he should stagger, he will not fall!

If he's lucky, he'll die 200 feet beneath the waves.

If I just work hard and keep my head down...

If I may ask, captain, how would you know?

If it's in the way, he moves it.

If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it.

If Johnny Weissmuller were in the soup wearing a 200 pound diving rig...

If Johnny Weissmuller were in the soup wearing a 200 pound diving rig...

If you do not complete the flange...

In their eyes, you'll never be as good as them.

Injured pilots have requested amputation of injured limbs.

Instead, you got your ass kicked by a couple of Marines.

Investigating in deep water will be the work of ALVIN...

Is he still active?

Is he up and around again?

Isert, finish torching that hole.

Isert, Rourke will change you out, and you'll walk out of there.

Isert, we can't talk for a bit, think of your favorite song...

It states if a diver holds his breath at 100 feet...

It took me four years of work to get through med school.

It'll be crazy. I won't have time to see you.

It's a lot of brass to sling up from a seated position.

It's always been about you.

It's gonna take time to heal.

It's in your record. You knocked her up sophomore year.

It's prom night at the Moor Bar.

It's spun copper, chief. We haven't used brass in a decade.

It's your turn, bring him home.

Jo!

Jo.

Just don't show up tomorrow.

Kamikaze ripped into an escort carrier, the Saint Lo.

Kill me? Goddamn. For a minute, I thought this was serious.

Knowing you, it's gonna be something big.

Ladies, gentlemen, and the rest of you lowdown cats...

Ladies, this is weekend liberty.

Last week, you were a cook.

Lay back into it. Keep it steady. Steady.

Lay back. On the side.

Leave him.

Leslie?

Let him out.

Let him run you over, like you do everyone else?

Let me finish it, and go home in peace.

Let's get him up! On the hatch.

Let's go now.

Let's go, son. Your father's waiting on us.

Let's go!

Listen...

Locked bulkheads. Dead bodies everywhere.

Looks like chief here is a ****** lover.

Lot of good men spend their career trying and fail.

Lucky for us you got a whole bar full of bourbon.

Machinist's Mate Rourke, 91.

Mail chopper portside.

Makes you think twice about who you invite into your home.

Man's food could kill your dog.

March.

Marry me, Jo!

Master Chief Sunday, given your current physical condition...

Master Chief Sunday, you sustained a serious embolism.

Master chief.

Master chief...

Mate DuBoyce, 85.

Maybe you can bring the little woman down one night...

Maybe you could get someone to change the bedpans.

Maybe you'll remember that next time...

Men who want to use it, before starting diving training, must walk...

Moments before, the bomber's crew jettisoned their nuclear payload.

Most of what's in those diving books you know better than me.

Move in, Jane.

Move!

Mr. Pappy blew a gasket when the son of a bitch passed you.

Much as I hate to prolong this...

My air hose is stuck!

My father always wanted a boy.

My kids go to school.

My leg's back. I ain't done yet.

My name is Jo.

My name is Master Chief Billy Sunday.

My name is...

My opinion might mean something here.

My walking leg...

My wife.

Navy diver, stand up.

Navy diver...

Navy diving studies indicate that if a subject were to become...

Navy gave me a second class diving school in Little Creek.

Negative on the come home order. Isert's air hose is tangled.

Never been there.

Never thought I'd live to see it.

Next time you scare the shit out of me give me a courtesy warning first.

******, you're crazy. Tuesday is colored swim...

Nine. The Navy diver is not a fighting man.

No disrespect to the president...

No smoking, chief.

No, I got the wire. I got the wire. How's Daddy doing?

No, Mac, I can't...

No, not you, Billy.

No, sir, I didn't know that.

No, son. No matter how hard I work, I ain't never gonna own this land.

No. Billy.

Not for a long time.

Not for three minutes.

Not till he stops moving, chief!

Not today. Not till this field is done.

Now because you pulled...

Now get better so you can go home and enjoy your retirement.

Now go on before you're late.

Now I have six weeks to study for my exam.

Now if you don't mind...

Now underway is the greatest naval search in human history.

Now you report to this line, Cookie.

Now, go on.

Now, the first 10 of you Girl Scouts step forward.

Now.

Of those unfortunates who pass, only three of you will live to retirement.

Oh, no, no problem at all.

Oh, shit.

Oh, well, baby, I didn't take the job.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah? Fine.

On Friday, that Captain Hanks...

Once you locate your project flange...

One minute, fifteen seconds.

One.

Only the Army salutes indoors, senior chief.

Open up.

Or I'm walking out of here and I am not coming back.

Or they'll never salute you the rest of your life.

Ornery son of a bitch.

Package for you, sir.

Patch the hull of the training vessel so we can pump her full of air...

Perfect assembly.

Perfect assembly. How's the water down there?

Permission to relieve the man below.

Permission to relieve the man below.

Piece of shit!

Pimple on God's ass.

Piss people off.

Please be seated, Senior Chief Brashear.

Please excuse us.

Please, I wasn't made for this!

Please.

Please.

Post.

Prepare for emergency surface. Blue diver, do you hear me?

Prepare to surface, Carl. We're bringing you home.

Probable Russian sub. Bearing at 209...

Pull him up. Faster! Faster!

Put in a good word for me so I can drive the boat.

Put it away for a rainy, or send it home to Mom and Pop.

Put Snowhill back in.

Rain coming in.

Rain coming in.

Reckon I'm gonna take a swim.

Recruiter say first leave's September.

Relax, cap. We just want to talk.

Right.

Rise and shine, Cookie. Time for training.

Roger that.

Rourke, he's got five minutes of air if he don't panic.

Rourke, stop it.

Rourke, what's wrong? Why are we moving?

Sailor! Sailor!

Say it like you got a pair!

Say now, who wants to quit?

Say we go into town and get us a nice cold one.

See this pipe?

See you in court.

See? Now wasn't that easy?

Seems Chief Brashear losing his leg for his country makes him a hero, sir.

Senior Chief Brashear, the business of the modern Navy...

Senior Chief Sunday, U.S.S. Hoist.

Senior Chief Sunday...

Seven.

Seventh.

Shall we begin?

She told me it was okay to dance with girls.

She tried to drive off the pier.

She's limping, chief. We're sliding down.

She's quite lovely.

Shit.

Shoes all shined up.

Show him, master chief.

Since the bomb disappeared in international waters...

Sir, I am a Navy man.

Sir?

Sir.

Sirs, I promise if I am killed at sea...

Six men are breathing today because I let them out of that room.

Snowhill, please step forward.

So take your time and get it right.

So the first time you go drinking and fighting and leave me waiting...

So they sent him here.

So who wants to quit?

So you can go on back to whatever burrow you sprang from.

So, what did you two kids come here to do anyway? Dance?

So, what happens next time I dive and take on pressure?

So, what's for chow, Cookie?

Some good, some bad.

Some things just don't mix.

Someone's confused here.

Son, step aside, or I'll crack you in the jaw.

Sorry to hear that.

Spoiled little girl gets her kicks dragging stray men in here.

Stay the hoe, John. Get the hoe, John.

Stay the hoe, John. Get the hoe, John.

Stay with the stewards.

Steady!

Steady. Let's take it in. Bring it up.

Step forward!

Sunday, you son of a bitch, I bet you can't hold your breath four minutes...

Surveyor Second Class Yarmouth...

Sweetheart...

Swim champ had half a chance.

Take Chief Sunday to the chamber for decompression.

Take immediate evasive action. Immediate evasive action.

Talk to me, Carl.

Talk to me, Carl.

Tell that recruiter, to take his crystal ball...

Tell the dive station to supply a standby.

Ten bucks right here!

Ten. If it's lost underwater, he finds it.

Tenders, hat the diver.

Tenders, lower your tool bags.

Tenders, unhat that diver.

Thank you, sir. I'll pack up and report to the deck department...

Thank you!

Thank you.

That I come home, mow the lawn, put a wheelchair ramp in?

That thing's light duty. It'll snap like a matchstick.

That was a long time ago, chief.

That's the closest he'll get to being a hero.

That's the highest rank in the Navy.

That's what I want to be, sir.

That's what it says in the new book?

That's why the only men to get through my course are the very, very best.

The bomb capable of leveling a major city...

The bomb capable of leveling a major city...

The fetching young lady in the fur stole or Cookie here.

The mail chopper clipped a radiomast. He's down!

The man I married never quit anything a day in his life.

The man's gonna retire your ass.

The men you are watching...

The Navy diver is not a fighting man but a salvage expert.

The new manual states the diver must rise unassisted.

The object of the test is to correctly assemble this flange underwater.

The only difference between me and that preacher...

The only reason your ass ain't in the brig is because you're high yellow.

The only way to survive is to trust each other.

The pieces required for assembly are on the river bottom.

The President of the United States...

The question is, sir:

The ship's weight is busting those pipes, chief.

The things I want are smaller.

The things I want...

The U.S. Navy is a big opportunity for a young man.

The United States Navy proudly reinstates...

The way I see it...

The what?!

Then I will demonstrate that I am fit to return to full diving duty.

Then we'll sink her and do it again.

Then why is it you don't know where Chief Brashear is?

There are seats of learning beyond the walls and control of this camp.

There was a preacher by the same name who rid Chicago...

There you go.

These slippery floors prohibit a demonstration.

They ain't gonna have you.

They don't like cocky pencil pushers like Hanks any more than we do.

They give out, this whole ship's going right to the bottom.

They put me back in the program. I start training next week.

They say you wrote over 100 letters requesting admission.

They too have endured great pains to support me.

They too have made sacrifices.

They were going to make him an admiral in D. C...

They're just giving it to me.

Think you deserve to be here?

Think you're as good as them?

Thinks we're a bunch of rednecks she can shake up for fun.

This field ain't ever gonna be done.

This hearing is concluded.

This is the latest He/O2, mixed gas rig.

This wreck is alive.

Those crackers see that nappy head...

Three 50 megaton warheads parachuted to Earth.

Three from the first row, step forward.

Three minutes, ten seconds!

Three quarters of you standing here will fail to become Navy divers.

Three.

To celebrate. You had me going. I thought I couldn't dive no more.

To return to the chief's primary concern.

Today is Friday.

Today will decide which of you will become Navy divers.

Today's my wedding anniversary.

Topside, blue diver is here. He's got a fresh line.

Topside, blue diver.

Topside, blue diver. I'm still waiting on my tool bag.

Topside, I have located my work light.

Topside, this is red diver. I have located my project...

Topside, we have a Coke can.

Trouble, mostly.

Turn off Daddy's radio and get ready for school.

Turn sonar off. A diver's down...

Two minutes, twenty five seconds.

Two tablespoons of machine oil can contaminate...

Two were recovered. However, a third hydrogen bomb remains lost at sea.

Two.

U.S.S. Hoist. I expect I remember you now.

Underwater, all you got is the man next to you.

Wait outside.

Wait, wait, wait.

Washington.

Watch the door. Try not to touch anything.

Way to go, John.

We got hot showers.

We got three square meals a day, unlike the Army...

We got to get him on a fresh hose and out of here.

We gotta go now, because Billy's gonna dance with me.

We have many traditions. In my career, I've experienced most of them.

We landed on something.

We slipped down the channel bank.

We still had intercom. Old MacArthur came over that squawk box:

We waited three years for that slot to open up.

We're closed.

We're gonna have a baby!

We're gonna have a baby!

We're gonna have a real baby!

Welcome to Bayonne, New Jersey.

Well, I'll be goddamned.

Well, I'm hot on Friday.

Well, let's just see.

Well, look at Mr. Navy. Bell bottoms bleached.

Well, we just came by to say hey.

Well...

Well...

Went down on a shallow reef, trapped me and six boys in the fire room.

What about you, chief?

What are you doing? I've got a man on.

What are you, Cookie? Some kind of goddamn hero?

What are you, some broke dick Popeye?

What do you mean, still not up?

What do you say?

What do you think? Should be you out there.

What do you want?

What else do I owe you?

What leg you got on?

What the hell you doing with him?

What the hell you doing, boy?

What the hell?

What'd I tell you, hon? He don't remember me.

What're you gonna do about it?

What's going on?

What's that supposed to mean?

What's the hitch?

What's the last grade you completed?

What's your bet, Cookie?

What's your name? Or is it a secret?

When he fails, you retire.

Where I come from there are no oceans...

Whereby Petty Officer Rourke on the 22nd of September...

Who wants to save me the sweat...

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you doing this, Sunday?

Why is this important? Forget to exhale going up, your lungs explode.

Why is this law important in diving?

With a prosthesis, several have returned to duty.

Without diving you're nothing...

Working as a Navy diver with one good leg and the other...

Would you let me go home now?

Wrong day, asshole.

Yeah, you got it. That's it.

Years ago, a man go on a bender like that...

Yes, sir, I could.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

You agree with me, of course.

You ain't gonna find him.

You and your girlfriend used to practice the breaststroke!
