Flea Quotes in G.I. Jane (1997)

McCool: I had a grandfather who wanted to be a Navy man. He wanted to fire them big guns off them big-ass battleships. Navy says to him "No. You can only do one thing on a battleship, son. That's cook." And I'm not talking about a hundred years ago. I'm talking United States Navy, middle of World War II. You know the reason they gave him? The reason why they told my grandfather he couldn't fight for his country? "'Cause negroes can't see at night. Bad night vision."

Flea: Damn, man. That's unbelievable. Thank God times have changed.

McCool: Have they? So you see, O'Neil. I know where you're coming from. 'Cause to them you're just the new nigger on the block, that's all. Maybe you just moved in a little too early.

Lt. Jordan O'Neil: Thanks, man.

Flea: Nice p-party mate. I got to get the first bus back to base

Hando: You enjoy being cannon fodder for the system?

Flea: [Shrugs] ... It's a job. See you Hando

Flea: Any parties happening in this sh-shitty town?

Hando: [knock at bedroom door] What?

Davey: Hando, ah, Magoo.

Hando: [door flies open, and Magoo walks in] Magoo!

Magoo: Way to go!

[clasps hands with Hando]

Hando: Fuckin' Magoo! What are you doing here?

Magoo: Didn't have time to tell you we were coming, mate. Didn't know we were coming actually, just keep on driving forgot to fuckin' stop! Check this out.

[pulls Flea who's wearing a navy uniform into the room]

Flea: Joined up a couple months ago.

Hando: What for?

Flea: Needed a job, didn't I? Put you through school. At least you get to keep the hair short, bud.

Hando: You look like a fuckin' hippie with hair that long.

Sonny Jim: [enters the room and after wrestling with Flea and McGoo] I thought you wanted to shoot guns, mate.

Flea: I gonna get in a fuckin' sub, fire torpedos.
