Marvin Johnson

JOHNSON: Are you Miss Kwan?
...
My name's Johnson - Marvin Johnson, Sergeant Bridger's new partner in the hotel.
...
JOHNSON: Excuse me, where?
...
JOHNSON: You mean Bridger didn't mention anything about our partnership?
...
TAYLOR: Johnson my man, I've been scoping' the establishment here an' this place is full of hot an' cold running hookers.
...
JOHNSON: What are you talkin' about?
...
JOHNSON: That damn Bridger! Purveyor of the American Dream, huh?
...
JOHNSON: Wait look, maybe Bridger had a will.
...
We're gonna get your money back Johnson an' then some.
...
ANDERSON: What's the matter with you Johnson?

JOHNSON: It's Taylor.
...
JOHNSON: He ain't buyin' that.
...
JOHNSON: Tried to help him like he helped me right?
...
JOHNSON: Does she always leave her door open like this?
...
JOHNSON: Hey Sarge, there's MP's outside in the lobby.
...
JOHNSON: You tell him about the girl askin' about the Embassy?

ANDERSON: No, I wanna get back to base and tell command. Johnson, you go yank Taylor out of that card game an let's get goin'.
...
JOHNSON: Taylor come on, I gotta talk to you.
...
JOHNSON: That's what I've been tryin' to tell you.
...
JOHNSON: Hold up.
...
JOHNSON: Dammit Marcus would you listen to me.
...
JOHNSON: Oh you will be when I get my hands round your neck.

BRIDGER: Hey man, Johnson, lighten up.
...
JOHNSON: Bridger, that investment was every penny I had in this world.
...
You know I oughta let Johnson have you for what you put him through.
...
JOHNSON: Yeah an' more AK-47's. So what?
...
Johnson, get the jeep.

JOHNSON: Percell maintain your intervals.
...
JOHNSON: It's a big jungle Taylor.
...
JOHNSON: ??? Percell.
...
JOHNSON: Hey-hey. What's goin' on?

PERCELL: C'mon Sarge. Don't get steamed. We're just watchin' out for you.

JOHNSON: Hey look, I don't need a bodyguard Percell.

RUIZ: You'd do the same for us.

JOHNSON: Okay-okay.
...
JOHNSON: Look, I don't need any.
...
JOHNSON: No-no-no. I'm short. I'm buyin'.

HOCKENBURY: Alright.

JOHNSON: Get us all a round.

HOCKENBURY: Yeah

JOHNSON: I guess you can afford to be a big spender now that you're gonna be a big collage man.

PERCELL: Hey, let's have this first sip to Sergeant's last mission.

HOCKENBURY: Three days an' a wake-up.

JOHNSON: No, to you guys. Thanks for everythin'.

HOCKENBURY: So you thought about what you're gonna be studying when you get to college?

JOHNSON: I don't know, maybe-maybe somethin' to do with politics.

PERCELL: Now that might work out. He's full of bull.

TAYLOR: Yeah

HOCKENBURY: Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Marvin Johnson. Yeah.

JOHNSON: Hey, look look.
...
JOHNSON: Well we gotta start somewhere ain't we Taylor? What's wrong with you anyway?

TAYLOR: Ain't nothin' wrong with me.

JOHNSON: Look I figure like this. The more education I can get right now, the better chance I got of changing things when I get back to the world.

TAYLOR: Johnson all it is is the white man getting himself elected so he can send the black man off to fight the yellow man.

JOHNSON: No, I don't buy that. It's too easy bro

TAYLOR: Don't think you've got it made 'cos the white man made you a sergeant. Over here he needs you to watch his back. Back home he just wants you to wash it.

JOHNSON: Well at least I'm tryin' to do somethin' with my life instead of hiding out in the army like you. Yeah

TAYLOR: Who you talkin' about hidin' out in the army?

JOHNSON: You.
...
What you gonna do Johnson? What you gonna do?

JOHNSON: ???? Spec-4.

TAYLOR: What you gonna do Johnson? College boy. What you gonna do?

JOHNSON: ???
...
JOHNSON (thinking): It doesn't matter what Taylor said.
...
JOHNSON: That's alright
...
Johnson, come here a minute.

JOHNSON: Yeah I know Sarge, but it ain't right.

ANDERSON: What are you talkin' about Johnson? You ain't got nothin' to prove.

JOHNSON: Sarge I know, but I-I always go out. I'm supposed to go out.

ANDERSON: Now I don't wanna hear any of that nonsense. The team's gonna have to get used to you bein' gone an' now is a good a time to start as any.

JOHNSON: Sarge, I can't break my routine now. I gotta do everythin' exactly the way I always do it or Sarge I ain't gonna make it out of here alive.

JOHNSON: No it ain't Sarge, not if you believe me.

ANDERSON: It's up to you Johnson. Up to you.l

PERCELL: Johnson that was one guy.

JOHNSON: No-no lots of guys Danny, lots of guys. You mess with routine, you're messin' with fate man.

PERCELL: Johnson now listen to me. We have all missed missions. It's no big deal.

JOHNSON: This is different man.

JOHNSON: I mean nobody, except the guys that are here, gonna know how it was.
...
JOHNSON: Alright, no more humpin' the boonies an' no more layin' awake in the hootch all night listenin' to Percell snore like a chainsaw.
...
HOCKENBURY: When you get back there, you tell your mom an' everybody that all of us here think her boy Marvin is one hell of a fine human being.

RUIZ: Oh yeah.

JOHNSON: Can't help but drink to that.
...
JOHNSON: Forget what?
...
ANDERSON: Johnson, scared of what? You just survived a full tour an' four months in country over here an' you're about to get on a chopper an' go home. What are you scared of?

JOHNSON: Sarge, when I came here I was just a kid you know. I-I'd been in the army for a while, but I was still a kid. Then they gave me a weapon and live ammunition an' told me I had to come over here an' start killin' people. Sarge what I'm tryin' to say is, I'm grown up now. I don't know what it's gonna be like back in the world.

ANDERSON: Well you're right about one thing Johnson. You're not a kid any more.
...
JOHNSON: Hey Sarge, I just thought about somethin'. This is the last time in my life I'm ever gonna have to take an order from you.

ANDERSON: Johnson, get on that chopper - now. Get out of Vietnam, that's a direct order. Now go-go-go-go-go move-move-move. Johnson.
