The clip on the troop trains from Biloxi Blues (1988)

How high
The moon
How high the moon I don't think much about the "big war'"anymore,
the one they call the Second One,
because the small wars that came after it seem a lot bigger now than the big war was.
Most people today look back at the big one with sort of fond memories.
It was, in a sense, an okay war.
We knew why we were fighting it, and we felt pretty proud of ourselves for being in it.
We liked the songs. We liked the uniforms.
We liked the girls. We liked that everyone liked us.
So, looking back, it really was one of your better wars,
except if you werejust a kid, the year out ofhigh school, heading south on a troop train,
knowing that in two months you'd be in some mud hole fighting for your life.
We were in a filthy train heading for basic training...
in Biloxi, Mississippi.
And on the entire trip in the train, nobody washed.
We were getting ready to fight Germany and Japan,
but instead we were stinking up America.
Hey, what the hell's with you?
You talking to me, garbage face?
Yeah, I'm talking to you, piss head.
Who're you calling piss head, jerk-off?
Knock it off, shit brains!
Up your keister with a meat hook, 'Kowski.
It was my fifth day in the army, and so far I hated everyone.

If you do no better than they did, next time itwillbe you. They said this school was dead like the cemetery it's built on, but we call our eastside teams ghosts, don't we? And what are ghosts? Ghosts are spirits that rise from the dead. I want you to be my ghosts. You are going to lead our resurrection by defying the expectation that all of us are doomed to failure. My motto is simple. If you do not succeed in life, i don't want you to blame your parents. I don't want you to blame the white man. I want you to blame yourselves. The responsibility is yours! In two weeks, we have a practice exam and the minimum basic skills test on april 13th. That's 110 school days from now, but it's not just about those test scores. If you do not have these basic skills, you will find yourselves locked out, locked out of that american dream that you see advertised on tv, that they tell you is so easy to get. You are here for one reason, one reason only- to learn to work for what you want. The alternative is to waste your time and to fall into the trap of crime, drugs, and death.

We will repeat code 10 on the p.a. System. All teachers and guards have keys to the exit doors. When you hear code 10, proceed to your assigned door and remove the chains. Guards, resume your posts.

Maybe my vice principal can do something without me for once. Mr. Clark. I'll help you 7th period. Excuse me.
