Gunnery Sergeant Frank Bougus : Your current orders are to take 48 hours' leave.
Lt. Nathan West : Sir, ship us out, sir.
Capt. Shane Vansen : Sir, why have we been on accelerated training if we're not going to be used, sir?
Gunnery Sergeant Frank Bougus : Listen. All we know is what you people found last week. We have no idea what lies ahead. We know basically nothing about the enemy - numbers, weapons, tactics. That is why we have been LOSING and LOSING BADLY in every battle of this war!
[quietly]
Gunnery Sergeant Frank Bougus : Don't be in such a hurry.
Gunnery Sergeant Frank Bougus : My advice: go home. See your families. It could be the last time.

[last lines]
Lt. Nathan West : [narrating] Elsewhere, stars are born. Other star systems, older, larger, continue to breathe. The Solar System dies of crib death. If that's what it takes, then okay. If I must wait that long, then all right. Because when I think of this, nothing is more desirable than the hope of watching that last day, when the sun flickers out with you beside me. We'll sit alone on a dark chunk of ice at the top of the world, and the stars above, beyond, and between us
[throws his valor medal]
Lt. Nathan West : will never shine brighter as we drift away into space.
