Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, f*cking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?

hehe that's one of my favorite lines from the entire movie.

Ermey also did a good one in a movie called Siege at Firebase Gloria. Outstanding Marine.

R. Lee Ermey is definitely a piece of work, Pharmboy.

Stanley Kubrick hired R. Lee as a Technical Advisor for "Full Metal Jacket" while Bruce Willis was originally given the role of DI Gunny Hartman.

Bruce and Stan had "difficulties" on the set. Stan fired Bruce. Looked at R. Lee and offered him the plum role after a few minutes of ad-libbed audition.

What's also cool, is that most of R. Lee's lines are taken verbatim from Gus Hasford's novel "The Short Timers" upon which "FMJ" is based.

Jack.
