[in the Bronx VA hospital]
Ron Kovic : This place is a fuckin' slum!
Marvin : You want out of here, man? Fine. We take that leg of yours, and we can get you out of here in two weeks!
Ron Kovic : I want my leg.
Marvin : Why?
Ron Kovic : I want my leg!
Marvin : Why? You can't feel it no how!
Ron Kovic : [incredulous and angry] It's my leg! I want my leg, you understand? Can't you understand that? All's I'm sayin' is that I want to be treated like a human being! I fought for my country! I am a Vietnam veteran! I fought for my country!
Patient : [off-camera] Shut the fuck up!
Ron Kovic : And I think that I deserve to be treated... decent!
