IRVING GONZALEZ: I think I can do better with my life out here than in there.
CPL. LISETTE DIAZ: You think so? The way the economy is going right now?
IRVING GONZALEZ: I’d rather struggle and be free.
CPL. LISETTE DIAZ: I have your best interest—what’s that?
IRVING GONZALEZ: I think I’d rather struggle.
CPL. LISETTE DIAZ: You’d rather struggle?
IRVING GONZALEZ: Yeah.
CPL. LISETTE DIAZ: Are you serious? Think about what you’re saying. The way the economy is going right now and the way it’s going to go for the next couple of years, it’s not looking good. Sometimes you have to grow up and learn how to be a man and to take care of stuff on your own. You know what I’m saying? Do you want to sit there and live with your mom for the next three, four, five, six years or whatever? You know, you want to do something different now to what your friends are doing, because when you come back and you see what your friends are doing, still living at home with mom and dad, struggling, trying to make a job, make money, make a living, you’re going to be like, bam, I’m glad I didn’t. You know what I’m saying? I’m telling you from experience, because I see that.
IRVING GONZALEZ: The main thing is, I want out. I don’t want to be in it. I don’t want to go to the Army.
IRVING GONZALEZ: Is there a way out? Is there a way for me to get out, because I don’t want to go in there if you are just going to like…
SGT. GLENN MARQUETTE: No, there is not a way out. You signed a binding contract.
IRVING GONZALEZ: There’s no way out?
SGT. GLENN MARQUETTE: No. When you sign a contract…
IRVING GONZALEZ: But, I mean, it’s kind of like a family thing, too. I’d rather just stay here. What if I just don’t show up?
SGT. GLENN MARQUETTE: Then, guess what. You’re AWOL, absent without leave, punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 86: Deserter. It’s in your contract. Read it. It’s clear as day. So then, guess what happens.
IRVING GONZALEZ: What’s that?
SGT. GLENN MARQUETTE: Guess what happens to you, I’ll tell you what happens to you, OK? This is what will happen. You want to go to school? You will not get no loans, because all college loans are federal and government loans. So you’ll be black-marked from that. As soon as you get pulled over for a speeding ticket or anything with the law, they’re gonna see that you’re a deserter. Then they’re going to apprehend you, take you to jail. They’re going to call up the military police, the nearest military installation, and they will come down there, correctional officers, 31-series in the Army, pick you up, detain you, put you on a plane and take you to Fort [inaudible], Missouri, where you will do your time, as you deserve. So guess what. All that lovey-dovey “I want to go to college” and all this? Guess what. You just threw it out the window, because you just screwed your life. There’s a right way to do things, and there’s a wrong way to do things.
