  • Mr. Rico : [hands Johnny a enlistment book]  This came for you today. I presume at your request?

    Johnny Rico : A lot of my friends are doing Federal Service.

    Mrs. Rico : Well you're not thinking of applying.

    Mr. Rico : Have you lost your mind? I'd rather take ten lashes in public square than to see you ruin your life.

    Johnny Rico : It's a term of service, it's not a career. I just want to get out on my own, see the galaxy for a couple years.

    Mrs. Rico : Johnny, people get killed in the Federal Service.

    Mr. Rico : Who gave you this idea? Its that teacher isn't it, you know the one I'm talking about, what's his name?

    Johnny Rico : Mr. Rasczak.

    Mr. Rico : Rasczak? Silly name. There should be a law against using a school as a recruiting station.

    Johnny Rico : No, Rasczak doesn't do that at all. He sort of discourages you.

    Mr. Rico : Well that's good. Because you're going to Harvard and that's the end of it.

    Johnny Rico : It's my decision, not yours.

    Mr. Rico : Oh, is that how it is.

    Mrs. Rico : Wait a minute, you two! Dad and I have a surprise for you that I think should settle this, can you guess what it is?

    Johnny Rico : No.

    Mr. Rico : You said you wanted to see the Galaxy, how about a trip to the outer rings, Zegema Beach, huh?

    Johnny Rico : I've... always wanted to go there.

    Mrs. Rico : Well good then, it's all settled.

  • Mr. Rico : You'll resign and that's all there is to it it may look bad but if that's the worst you suffered then that's fine.

    Johnny Rico : I won't quit!

    Mr. Rico : I'm telling you you will. You're not going back your going on vacation.

    Johnny Rico : I am not going on vacation. I want to be a citizen. it's my decision I made it.

    Mr. Rico : You walk out that door and you are cut off young man do you understand

    [Johnny walks out] 

    Mr. Rico : Alright that's it you are cut off!

    Mrs. Rico : Johnny why would you change your mind does a citizenship really mean that much to you?

    Johnny Rico : Well... Yeah, sure.

    Mrs. Rico : I hope so. I hope you don't ruin your life over some silly little girl who wants to look handsome in a uniform.

    Johnny Rico : Don't talk about Carmen that way!

    [walks off] 

    Mrs. Rico : Johnny.
