King:
Hey, Taylor, how in the f*** you get here anyway? You look educated.
Chris Taylor:
I volunteered for it.
King:
You did what?
Chris Taylor:
I volunteered. I dropped out of college, told ’em I wanted the infantry, combat, Vietnam.
Crawford:
You volunteered for this shit, man?
Chris Taylor:
Believe that?
King:
You’s a crazy f***er, giving up college?
Chris Taylor:
Didn’t make much sense, I wasn’t learning anything. I figured why should just the poor kids go off to war and the rich kids always get away with it.
King:
Oh, I see, what we got here is a crusader.
Crawford:
Sounds like it.
King:
Shiiit, you gotta be rich in the first place to think like that. Ever’body know, the poor are always being f***ed over by the rich. Always have, always will.
