Girl: It's So Not Fair.
I Don't Know Why
I Can't Go With You
On The Tiger Cruise.
Because You've Been There
5 Times Already.
Maddie!
Hey, Couple Minutes,
We Gotta Leave
For The Airport.
You Can Leave Now.
I'll Bet Dad
Would Let Me Go.
Too Bad He's Not Here
So You Could Ask Him.
You Get To Fly To Hawaii
And Be With Dad On The Ship.
You're So Lucky.
Oh, Yeah. Sharing A Room
The Size Of A Mattress
With A Complete Stranger
Who Probably Snores
Like The 3 Stooges
Is Not Exactly
My Idea Of A Good Time.
Wait Till You See
The Dog Machine.
You Know,
The Ice-Cream Machine.
They Call It
A Dog Machine?
That's Not
A Flavor, Is It?
It's Soft-Serve
Ice Cream.
All You Can Eat
24 Hours A Day.
Great.
You'll Learn All About
The Constellation
And How The--
Kiley...
I Know How An
Aircraft Carrier Works.
Thank You.
Sor-Ry.
[Knock On Door]
Kiley, I'd Like To Talk
To Your Sister
For A Sec, Ok?
Ok.
Alone, Please.
But That's Not Fair!
'Cause I Wanna Go,
And She's--She's...
Get Out...
And She Gets To Go...
And Stay Out!
And I Wanna Go!
But...
Bye-Bye.
Mmm.
[Sighs]
You're So Grown-Up.
I Have Some Gum.
Thank You.
You All Ready?
Yeah.
You're Sure?
I'm Sure.
Your Father
Was Really Surprised
When You Agreed To Meet Him
On The Ship In Hawaii.
It'd Be Nice To Spend
Some Time With Him, Huh?
Imagine That.
Hey.
Nobody's Forcing You
To Do This, You Know.
I Know.
Then You Mind
Tellin' Me Why,
After All These Years,
You Just Suddenly Decide
You Wanna Go
On The Tiger Cruise?
Just Drop It, Mom.
Ok? Please.
Wish I Knew What
Was Goin' On Up There.
No, You Don't.
Hey, Tiger!
Don't Forget Your Pillow!
I Was Gettin' It.
Ship Out.
And Going Out On That Boat?
That's Wack.
I Told You I Don't Like
That Expression.
Man, What If I
Start Pukin', Huh?
What If I Get Out
In The Middle Of The Ocean
And Just Start
Goin' Bleaah!
Your Brother'll
Keep An Eye Out For You.
Like He Cares.
[Chuckles]
[Rap Music Playing
On Radio]
[Jazz Music Plays]
No Way.
Why Can't I Ever Listen
To My Music?
'Cause Your Music
Is Wack.
Wack-A-Lack...
Jack.
[Laughs]
P.A.: The White Zone Is
For Loading And Unloading
Of Passengers Only.
No Parking.
All Unattended Vehicles
Will Be Towed.
It's Just That, Uh,
He's Never Flown
By Himself Before.
I'll Be With Him
The Entire Trip,
Mr. Coleman.
You Hear That, Tiger?
She's Gonna
Keep An Eye On You
The Whole Way.
So Be Good, All Right?
I'll Meet You And Mom
At The Ship
When You Dock
In San Diego.
So, Uh, Give Her
A Big Hug For Me.
P.A.: Flight 25 To Boston
Now Arriving, Gate 17.
I'll Take That.
Don't Worry.
He'll Be Fine.
Let's Go,
Handsome.
Baggage Handler
To Carousel "D."
Any Available
Baggage Handler
To Carousel "D."
Bye.
Have Fun Now.
See You
In A Few Days.
Yes...Sir.
Lieutenant Torres
Reporting For Duty...
Sir.
Man: Tina!
I'm Coming!
Tina, Let's Go!
Hold On!
Captain: Good Afternoon,
Ladies And Gentlemen.
This Is Your Captain Speaking
From The Cockpit.
I'd Like To Thank You All
For Flying With Us Today.
We Level Off At Our Cruising
Altitude Of 35,000 Feet...
You're Drawing, Huh?
Yeah.
...The Rest Of The Way,
So We're Gonna Turn Off The
"Fasten Seat Belt" Signs...
That's Sweet.
So At This Time,
You Are Free To Move
About The Cabin.
It's Called
The Tiger Cruise.
The Navy And
Its Family Members
Take A Cruise.
They Get To See
What It's Like
To Be On The Ship.
You Know, Like
Sons And Daughters
And Grandparents.
But No Wives
Or Husbands Or
Significant Others,
'Cause That Could
Complicate Things,
You Know?
Anyway, This Is
My Sister Grace.
She's A Naval Aviator.
She Flies
An F-18 Super Hornet,
And Her Flight Squadron
Is Called The Stingers.
[Sighs]
Hey, Did You Know...
[Boy Drumming]
[Sighs]
Tina: Seriously Not.
My Sister Said That
It's Like Landing
On A Postage Stamp.
Excuse Me. Is
That Seat Taken?
No. Mm-Mmm.
Are You Going
On The Tiger Cruise,
Too?
Yeah.
This Is My Sister.
She's
A Naval Aviator.
Hey, Are You
A Navy Brat?
I'm Not A Brat, Ok?
Ok.
Anyway,
The Ship's Name Is
The Constellation,
But They Call It
The Connie.
And It's 17 Stories
Above Water And 9 Below,
And If They Stood It
Straight Up,
It'd Be As Tall
As The Empire State
Building.
I Mean, They Have
100 Aircraft On Board.
And They Have
A Battle Group That
Accompanies Her,
Like A Destroyer,
A Supply Ship,
A Cruiser,
A Submarine--
Oh--Oh, My Gosh,
This Is So Scary.
Ok, Right Before
They Land,
They Have
To Gun The Engines
Just In Case
They Miss
The Arresting Cables
Or Something
And They Have
To Take Off Again.
I Mean,
Can You Imagine
Being In An Airplane
Like That?
That Would Be
So Scary.
[Kids Chattering]
Do You See What I See?
Whoa!
Wow.
My Mom's Gonna Be There
When We Get Off, Right?
She'll Be There.
Trust Me.
[Ship's Horn Blares]
Whoa, Awesome.
[Camera Clicks]
Man, That Is Big.
Tina: The Constellation's
Like A Small City.
It Has Everything.
I Mean,
It Has A Hospital
Complete With
Surgical Facilities,
5 Dentists, A Tailor,
A Post Office,
And They Conduct
Worship Services
In Over
10 Denominations.
I Mean, They Have
Catholic, Protestant,
Jewish, Buddhist,
And There's Over
100 Aircraft On Board.
They Have A Battle Group
That Accompanies Her.
There's A Destroyer...
P.A.: Your Attention, Please.
On Behalf Of
The Uss Constellation
And All Navy Personnel,
We Would Like To Welcome
All Tiger Cruise Participants.
Whoa.
All Tigers Please Proceed
To The Forward Bow.
You Will Meet Your Sponsors
On Board The Ship
In The Hanger Bay.
You're Sure
We'll Find My Mom.
[Sighs]
We'll Find Her.
Don't Worry. Come On.
Wow.
Yo, Anth.
No, Man, No.
Sorry.
How Was The Flight?
Boring.
How's Pop?
A Pain.
You Know, Pop Warned Me.
You Really Don't Wanna
Be Here, Do You?
Got That Right.
P.A.: All Tiger Cruise
Participants...
Your Escorts Will Be
Meeting You On Top Deck.
Hey, Dad!
Hey, Danny! Hey,
No Promotion Yet?
No, Not Yet.
You Got An Uncle
In The Pentagon, Son.
One Phone Call.
P.A.: The Officers And Crew
Of The Uss Constellation
Are Proud
To Welcome You Aboard
For Tiger Cruise 2001.
This Is A Great Opportunity
For You To See Firsthand
Just What
Your Naval Relatives Do
While On Board Ship.
After 6 Months
Deployed In The Gulf,
We Are Thrilled To Have
Our Family Members Join Us,
And We Have A Lot
Of Exciting Events
Planned For You
On Our 5-Day Cruise
To San Diego.
Grace!
Hey, Tina!
Oh Ho Ho!
So Good To See You!
Are You Ready? Ready?
Yeah. Uh-Huh. Go.
Both: Unh, Unh.
Let's Go, Girl.
Let's Go.
Woman: Joey!
Over Here!
There She Is! Mom!
Hi! Hi! Oh, Gosh!
I Missed You.
Sir.
Maddie.
Dad. Daddy!
Hey. Ha Ha Ha.
Oh!
Oh, It's So Good
To See You.
I Missed You.
Look At You.
I Hardly Even
Recognize You.
Been A While.
I Grew.
Yeah. Gosh, It Has Been
A While, Hasn't It?
Yeah.
I'm Really Glad
That You Came,
And I Know You're Gonna
Have A Good Time.
And I've Gotta Head
Back To The Bridge.
But After You Get
Something To Eat,
Maybe You Can Meet Me
On The Bridge.
Yeah.
Ok?
Great.
I Got That.
Here We Go.
I Still Can't
Believe You're Here.
Been Looking
Forward To This
For A Long Time.
Sorry.
Well, Look At This.
Navy's Got It Easy, Huh?
I Was A Marine.
We Were Lucky To Have
A Soft Piece Of Ground
To Sleep On.
Know What A Marine
Calls A Sailor?
No.
A Squid. Your Dad A Squid?
No, Sir. My Mom.
Oh. Yeah, Right. Well...
Women On Ships Now.
Well, I Guess
This Is My Rack.
Chuck Horner.
Joey.
Nice To Meet You, Joey.
Joey, You Don't
Wet The Bed, Do You?
No, Sir.
Good.
Not Unless I Have A Lot
Of Soda Or Something.
Good.
[Girls Chattering]
Sorry.
Grace: Yeah.
I'm Gonna Look So Cool
In This Uniform.
God, I Can't Wait.
Just 5 More Years,
And Then I Can--
Whoa. Don't Be
In Such A Hurry.
You Might Change Your Mind.
No Way.
I Want The Uniform
And The Plane.
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa,
Look, T,
Now There's Something
You Need To Realize.
I Mean, All You See
Is The Sharp-Looking Uniform,
The Planes,
And The Pictures I Send Home.
I Mean, You Think
It's All So Cool, But...
It's A Lot More
Than That, Tina.
A Lot More.
Hi.
I Think I'm In Here.
Hi! I'm Tina!
I Saw You On The Airplane,
Remember?
Yeah.
This Is My Sister
Lieutenant Torres,
But You Can
Call Her Grace.
I Took The Top Bunk.
Is That Ok?
Yeah. Sure.
No Problem.
Maddie Dolan.
Who, The X.O.?
Commander Dolan's Daughter?
He's Second In Command.
That's Right.
So You Are A Navy Brat.
I'm Not A Brat, Ok?
Ok.
Your Father's
A Great Guy.
Thanks.
P.A.: All Tigers And Crew,
The Flight Deck
Is Now Open.
We Will Be Departing...
Come On. Let's Go!
Pearl Harbor At 0800.
No, Wait, Tina. My Cover.
My Hat.
Oh, Right.
Yay!
P.A.: The Constellation
Will Be Your Home
For Our Trip.
The Cruise From Pearl Harbor
To San Diego
Is The Last Leg
On Our Cruise Home.
Pretty Cool, Huh?
Our Cruising Speed Will Be
Approximately 25 Knots,
And We Expect Clear Skies
And Calm Seas Along The Way.
So Enjoy The Trip.
Please Don't Do That.
Let Me Show You Somethin'.
This Is The Landing Gear,
And The Bombs...
Here It Goes.
Ready? 1, 2, 3.
P.A.: All Tigers Are
Encouraged To Participate
In Our Daily Activities.
Once We Set Sail,
We Will Be Passing The Memorial
To The Uss Arizona.
We Will Announce Our Passing
By A Short Blast
From The Bosun's Whistle.
Captain On Bridge.
All Right, X.O.,
Let's Get This Party
Started.
Aye, Aye, Captain.
Make Preparations
To Get Under Way.
Officer To The Deck,
Set The Special
Sea And Anchor Detail.
Aye, Sir. Both Set
For Special Sea
And Anchor Detail.
[Bell Rings]
Now Go To Your Stations
All Special
Sea And Anchor Detail.
Left Full Rudder.
Port Main Engine
Ahead 1/3. 0-2-5.
Upload On Right.
Entering Ahead 1/3,
0-2-5 Port Main Engine.
P.A.: Uss Constellation
Now Departing.
I Counted 37 F-18 Hornets,
26 Tomcats, 9 Prowlers,
3 Hawkeyes, 2 Greyhounds,
1 Viking, And 5 Helios.
It's Unbelievable.
What You Drawin'?
Uh, The Arizona
Memorial.
Pearl Harbor.
Oh, Right,
Like The Movie.
December 7, 1941.
Our Country Was Attacked
Just After 8 A.M.
Enemy Bombers
Launched An Attack,
And The Arizona
Took A Number Of Hits...
Sank In Less Than 9 Minutes.
It Took 1,100 Crew Members
To Their Deaths.
Pearl Harbor Was Caught
Completely Unaware.
December 7, 1941.
As F.D.R. Said,
That's "A Date
That Will Live In Infamy."
Nice Sketch.
[Whistle Blows]
P.A.: Today's Air-Power Show
Features Rescue
And Recovery Procedures
For A Downed Pilot
Or A Man Overboard.
For All The Young Tigers
On Board,
There Will Be
A Paper Airplane Contest,
And A Recreation Room
Has Been Set Up
For Your Enjoyment.
There You Go.
Oh, Awesome!
There You Go.
Can You Make Me
Look Like Arnold?
Rrrgh!
Sure.
Oh, The Navy's
Got It Easy, Huh?
You Know, In The Marines,
I Had To Live For 4 Days Once
On Canned Apricots.
Apricots Give Me
Diarrhea.
So That's Why
They Call It A Dog Machine.
This What
You Wanna Do?
Be, Like, An Artist
Or Somethin'?
Who Knows?
I Know What I Wanna Do.
This. Like Grace.
You Ever Thought
About Joinin' Up?
Nope.
Why Not?
'Cause Maybe Someday
I'd Like To Have Kids.
Don't Want 'Em
To Be Brats, Huh?
I'm Kidding.
Maddie?
Yeah?
I'm Lieutenant
J.G. Hillman.
Commander Dolan
Would Like You
To Report
To The Bridge After
You Finish Lunch.
Ok.
Hi.
Hi.
He's So Hot.
You're Drooling.
I'm Sorry. I Just
Love Those Uniforms.
Snake 7-1 Outbound
Bearing 3-0.
Hey, Madd, Tina.
Deck's
Right Up Here.
Sir?
Hey, Maddie.
Thanks, Lieutenant.
I Wanna Show You
Something.
Hey, Tina,
I'm Gonna Show You
Where We Are
On The Chart Here.
Basically, We Start
At This Position...
All Right. This Is It.
This Is Pretty Much
Where I Live
When I'm On Board
The Ship.
A Little Nicer
Than My Quarters.
I Do Outrank You
Just A Little Bit.
Sure. Fine. Ok.
How's School?
September, Dad.
I've Only Been There
A Couple Of Days.
Oh, Well, How's School
Been So Far?
Same As All The Others.
Yeah. Guess It's Been--
Hasn't Been Easy, Huh?
Dad, How Many
Elementary Schools
Did I Go To?
Oh, Maddie, Come On.
How Many?
Was 4.
5. Right. You Got Me.
It's Not Easy
Making Small Talk
With Your Daughter, Huh?
It's Not Easy
When She Doesn't Help.
Maddie,
I Managed To
Get Ahold Of Your Mom
On The Phone Today.
She Wanted To See How--
You Know, Find Out...
She Wanted To Know
What Was Goin' On.
Going On?
Well, Both Of Us
Have Been Wondering.
'Cause I Tried
To Get You On Board
Quite A Few Times,
And Never Any Luck,
And Now, All Of A Sudden,
You're Volunteering.
I'm Really Glad
That You're Here,
But I'm Just
A Little Curious.
P.A.: All Tigers
Please Report
To The Hanger Bay For The...
Maddie, Just...
Gotta Go.
Maddie. Maddie.
I Don't Wanna
Be Late, Dad.
The Contest.
Hey, Hey.
All Tigers Please Report
To The Hanger Bay
For The Paper Airplane
Contest.
Blue Team, Gold Team,
The Game Is
Launch And Recovery.
The Objective Is To Trap
As Many Planes As Possible
From Your Teammates.
Right Now, Looks Like
The Blue Team Is Ahead.
But The Gold Is Gaining Ground.
Go, Tigers!
I Mean, Think About It.
Brat--A Spoiled, Mischievous,
Or Ill-Behaved Child.
You Actually
Looked It Up?
Yes. I Mean, Would You
Wanna Go Through Life
Being Called That?
Hey, Pal, We've Got
Some Flight Ops
Goin' On.
No Hats On Deck.
You Kiddin', Right?
No, That's A Rule.
[Sighs]
Stupid Rule.
Oh, Man!
Oh, Man, My Hat!
Unh! Unh!
You Know What
I Really Wanna Do
Is The Whole Flag
Unfurling Thing.
Ooh, Yeah.
Oh, Man. Ha Ha.
Ha! Hey!
Hey, You Guys!
What Is He Doing?
Oh!
I Can Fly!
Anthony,
Get Away From There!
Anthony, Stop!
What Is He Doing?
Unh! Aah!
Anthony! Anthony!
Watch Out!
Aah!
Anthony!
No!
Cool.
You Guys Have Got
To Try This.
Hey, Come Back!
Please, Please!
Come Back!
Come Back,
Please! Oh!
[Music Playing]
We Had To Build
The Game Room Special
For You Tigers.
Do You Like It?
Oh!
Yeah! Yes!
Yeah! Tina!
Tina.
Oh, Oh.
Anthony:
I Got A Winner.
Yeah! Whoo!
Hey. You Forgot Somethin'.
Did You Look?
No. But I'd Like To.
Go Ahead.
Wow, These Are Good!
These Are Really Good.
Thanks.
Even Make Me
A Little Homesick.
Afraid To Say
I'm Even Missin'
That Rufus Dog,
The Mangy Mutt
That He Is.
[Laughs]
Dad, When Are You
Coming Home?
What Do You Mean?
We're Gonna Be Dockin'
On Friday.
No, I Mean...
When Are You
Coming Home For Good?
Is That Why
You Came On Board,
To Ask Me That?
Ok, This Is My Job.
So Get A New One.
You've Got The Degrees.
You Could Do, Like,
Anything You Want.
This Is What I Do.
Must Be Nice.
Travel All Over
The World,
No Responsibilities.
I'm Responsible
To A Lot Of People.
Strangers, Dad.
What About Us?
We're Strangers,
Too.
We Move All Over
The Place,
See You
For A Few Weeks
Every 4 Or 5 Months
Or Whenever The Navy
Says It's Ok.
The Navy Is A Way Of Life.
I Mean, You Go Into It,
And You Know The Sacrifices
You Have To Make.
Well, You've Done It
For My Entire Life.
I Got
A Detention First Day
Of This New School.
Some Kids Were Picking
On Me And Kiley,
And I Was Trying
To Defend Her.
They Said
I Was Fighting.
They Jumped Us Because
We Were The New Kids,
The Navy Brats.
That's Us, Dad.
We're Always
The New Kids,
And It's Not Fun.
All These Things
Are Going On With Us,
And You Don't Know
About 'Em, 'Cause
You're Never Here.
I See All These Kids,
And I Hear Them Gripe
About What Jerks
Their Fathers Are,
And I Want To
Just Tell Them
To Shut Up.
"At Least Yours
Is There."
Dad, I'm Tired
Of Being A Navy Brat.
I Want A Father
Who's There Every Day.
Well, What Do You Think?
That I Don't Want
To Be Home?
You Think That It's Easy
Being Away?
Is It?
Oh...
Look, After Friday,
I'm Gonna Be Home
For A While.
All Right?
[Scoffs]
"For A While."
Everything We Do
Is Always
For A While.
When Are We Gonna
Get Something
Permanent, Dad? Huh?
I'm Listening To You.
I Hear What You're Saying.
It's About The Family,
So We'll Need
To Talk About It
As A Family
After We Get Home.
No.
Because
When You Get Home...
We're All
So Different.
We're Happy, Dad...
For A While.
I Want To Do It Now.
What Do You Think?
I Don't Know. I--
I Don't Know
What To Think.
It's Kind Of
A Big Curve Ball
You Threw Me There.
Look, We're Gonna
Get A Chance
To Keep Talking About It,
And We Will.
That Means No.
Maddie.
You Know I Love You All...
Don't You?
I Know.
[Sighs]
[Whistle Blows]
P.A.: Good Morning,
Constellation.
We've Got A Lot
Of Exciting Activities
For You Tigers Today.
We Bake Over 2,500 Rolls
A Day,
And We Go Through
About 800 Pounds
Of Cookie Dough.
Go Over 10,000 Eggs
Just For One Breakfast,
And We Put Out Over
15,000 Meals A Day.
Danny, One Call
To The Pentagon,
And Your Uncle Bobby
Can Arrange A Transfer--
No, No, No. I Like
What I'm Doin', Dad.
It's Not, You Know,
Glamorous Or Anything,
But I Mean,
It's Important.
A Sailor's Gotta Eat,
Right?
Oh, Yeah.
And I Guess
When You Muster Out,
You Can Get A Job
Flipping Burgers
At Any Joint
In The Country.
Think About That,
Danny.
Look, Dad, I Gotta
Get Back To The Galley.
Let Me Give You
Some Directions...
Oh, I Know
Where I'm Going.
Yeah, But I Want
To Show You--
Danny, Just A Boat.
See You At Dinner,
Son.
Yeah.
Heh Heh!
Heh Heh Heh!
Heh Heh!
[Buzzer Buzzes]
So This Is It.
She's A Beauty, Huh?
F-18 Hornet.
So What Do You Think?
She's Amazing.
How Do You Know
What All This Stuff Does?
Aw, A Couple Years
Of Flight School.
I Mean, You Just Don't
Hop In And Start It Up.
I Can't Wait
For The Airshow.
We Can Get
Some Great Pix
From Up On
The Flight Deck.
Uh, No Way.
Against Regs For Any
Unauthorized Personnel
To Be On The Flight Deck
During Flight Ops.
But We Won't
Get In--In The Way.
Forget It.
You Two Can Watch It
From Vultures Row.
We Won't Be Able
To See Anything
From Up There.
You'll Just Be
A Little Speck!
Tina, This Is
The Most Dangerous Part
Of Our Whole Operation.
There's No Margin
For Error.
That Means No
Unnecessary Personnel
On Deck. Got It?
P.A.: Stinger Squadron, Report
To The Pilots' Ready Room.
Now Come On,
Let's Get Out Of Here.
I've Got To Get Ready.
Hey...
Maybe My Dad Can Help.
[Wheezing]
Excuse Me.
Excuse Me, Sir.
Should Call This
The Uss Mount Everest.
This Tabletop Represents
The Flight Deck,
And I Know It Looks
Kinda Like A Game Board,
But It's Pretty Serious,
'Cause It's Dangerous
Out There.
We Gotta Know
Where Every Plane Is
At Every Moment.
Can You See All Right
Down There?
Chief, Why Don't You
Help Him Up There.
Thanks.
How's That?
Better.
[Making Jet Sounds]
You Want To
Put Those Down, Son?
Man, I Was Just Playing.
You Can't Really
Clown Around Up Here.
You Just Put Those Down
In The Wrong Place.
If It Gets Overlooked,
We Could Have
A Pilot's Life At Stake.
Clear?
Yeah, It's Cool.
I'm Good. Whatever.
Chief, Why Don't You
Take Over Here?
If You Have Any Questions,
You Ask Chief, All Right?
Dad, We Were
Just Wondering
If We Could Be
Up On The Flight Deck
During The Airshow.
No, No,
That's Not Possible.
But Tina Just Wants
To Get Some Good Shots
Of Her Sister Taking Off.
No, It's Too Dangerous
Out There.
But We'll Be
Out Of The Way.
There Are No Exceptions.
But You Can Get
Some Good Shots
Up On Vultures Row.
All Right?
Hey, I Can Get You Guys
Out There, No Problem.
And How Are You
Gonna Do That?
Follow Me.
[Wheezing]
Oh!
If A Sailor Can Do It...
[Wheezing]
I Can Do It.
[Sighs]
P.A.: Hey, We've Got
A Great Airshow
Lined Up For You Tigers
Today.
The Top Hatters
And The Black Aces
Will Provide
A Coordinance Demonstration,
While The Stingers
Will Entertain You
Let's Go.
With A Strike Fighter
Bombing Run.
Before Every Flight Op,
Come On.
The Crew Does
An F.O.D. Walk-Down.
That Stands For
Foreign Objects And Damage.
They're Making Sure
Nothing Is On The Runway.
A Pebble Or A Loose Bolt
Lying There
Could Get Sucked
Into The Engine
And Cause A Malfunction.
Come On. Come On
So, That Being Completed,
Let's Get This Show Started.
[Engines Roaring]
[Squeaking]
[Breathing Heavily]
Hey, Buddy,
Can You Give Me
A Little Hand Here?
Go Give Him
A Hand.
P.A.: Next Up
On The Catapult
Is Our First Wave
Of Strike Fighters.
This One's About To Take Off.
This Way.
Excuse Me, Dear.
P.A.: Approaching
From The Starboard Side
On Their Low-Level
Bombing Run
Are The Black Aces!
Next Up Will Be The Stinger
Strike Fighter Squadron.
Let's Give It Up
For The Stingers!
Anthony: Follow Me.
And Stay Down!
Come On, Let's Do This
And Get Out Of Here.
Just Hold On.
Man, This Is Tight!
Hey, What's That?
That's The Catapult.
It's Sort Of Like
A Giant Slingshot.
It Helps The Planes
Get Up Enough Speed
To Get Airborne.
Ahh! This Is So Cool!
P.A.: Wow, That Sure Was
Exciting, Wasn't It?
I Tell You What,
It Takes Nerves Of Steel
For These Men And Women...
Oh, Look! There's Grace!
P.A.: ...On And Off
Of This Aircraft Carrier.
Did You See Her?
Tina, Just
Get The Shot.
We Gotta Go.
Hold On.
This Is So Cool!
Tina, Don't Push It.
I'm Serious!
Tina: Hold On.
[Laughs]
We're Busted!
Let's Go!
Come On!
We Gotta Go!
Come On, Tina!
I'm Serious.
Come On!
Tina, Come On!
Yes, Sir!
Here. In Here.
Hey, Stop!
[Laughing]
Not Very Smart.
What You Did...
Was In Direct Violation
Of Regulations.
If You Were Members
Of This Crew,
You Could Be Brought Up
On Charges.
Consider This A Warning.
The Least Bit Of Trouble
Out Of Any One Of You,
And You'll Be Confined
To Your Quarters
For The Rest Of This Voyage.
Are We Clear On That?
Yes, Sir.
Yes, Sir.
Yeah.
Ahem.
Yes, Sir.
All Right, Go On.
I Want To Talk
To Your Families.
I Think That
Ought To Do It.
Don't Be Too Rough
On 'Em.
Go Ahead.
Yell, And Just
Get It Over With.
What, So You Could Say
I Was Never There,
And Therefore
I Have No Right
To Discipline You?
We've Gone
Through That Before.
Was This Whole Thing
Some Way To Get My Attention?
No.
Well, It Did.
I'm Worried
About You, Maddie.
This Isn't Like You.
7 Weeks Ago,
We Lost A Pilot...
On A Practice Maneuver.
It Was A Nice Sunny Day,
Just Like Today.
Something Happened--
A Problem With The Landing--
And We Lost Him.
That's Why Everybody's
So Serious Out There.
It's Dangerous.
And For You
To Disobey Me, I--
[Sighs]
I Don't Understand
What You're Going Through.
I Try,
But I'll Tell You This.
You've Gotta Start Thinking
About Your Actions.
The World Doesn't Revolve
Around You.
Everybody Has To Learn That
At A Certain Point.
Hey, When Are
You Gonna Start Thinking
About Somebody Else, Huh?
I Mean, I'm Trying
To Make Something
Out Of Myself,
And Stupid Stuff Like This
Does Not Help.
Man, I Didn't Mean--
Just Shut Up And Listen! Ok?
This Was A Mistake
Having You Come
On This Thing.
It Wasn't Pop's Idea.
It Was Mine.
You Know, I Was Hoping--
I Don't Know
What I Was Hoping.
But We Got Enough
To Do Right Now
Where I Can't Have You
Running Around,
Getting In
Any More Trouble.
So That Means
For The Next Few Days,
You Behave Yourself.
You Understand Me?
When You Get Home,
You Can Run Off
With Your Idiot Friends
And Do Whatever You Want.
At This Point,
I Really Don't Care.
But Until Then,
You Watch Yourself.
Understand?
P.A.: Welcome To
The Tiger Cruise
2001 Talent Show.
[Dance Music Playing]
Whoo!
Let's Get Up!
Come On, Come On, Whoo
Yeah!
Yeah!
Unh
Look, Trouble's
Like My Middle Name.
I'm Used To People
Yelling At Me,
But I'm Sorry
I Got You Guys
Into This.
It's Not Your Fault.
I Was The One
Who Wanted To Do It.
My Sister Just Glares
When She's Mad,
But It Can Kill,
You Know?
What About Your Dad?
He Must've Been
Pretty Hot.
No, He Wasn't.
He Was...
Quiet. I Don't Know.
Real Different.
Kinda Wish He Had Yelled.
Sometimes Parents
Just Do Stuff Like That
To Freak Us Out.
Hey, Joey, You Want
Some More Ice Cream?
I Don't Think So.
[Joey Groans]
Whoo
Whoo
Come On, Come On
We Had That Made
For Him Last Year.
Nice.
We Spent The Millennium
In A Cheap Hotel
'Cause Our New House
Wasn't Ready Yet.
Lots Of Fun.
Commander Dolan Told Me
About What Happened Today.
Still Mad?
I Think "Disappointed"
Is A Better Word.
He Was Really
Looking Forward
To You Going
On This Cruise.
Really?
It's All He Talked About.
I Don't Know What It Is
You Think Your Dad's Doing...
But It's Not
A Pleasure Cruise
Out Here.
Sometimes It's Lonely,
Sometimes It's Dangerous,
But Your Dad...
He Makes It Easier On Us.
You Know, A Lot
Of These Guys Out Here
Are Younger Than Me.
I Mean,
They're Teenagers,
But We Can Talk To Him.
He's Like--He's Like
A Father Sometimes.
Must Be Nice.
Well...
Hey.
Hi.
I'm Sorry About
What Happened Today.
Sure.
But That's
Behind Us Now.
There's A Lot
To Think About.
Couple Of The Things
You Said Have A--
Have An Element
Of Truth To 'Em.
We Are Strangers.
Today's Little Incident
Kind Of Underlined That
For Me.
Dad, I Was Just--
Hear Me Out, All Right?
See, I Never Knew
How Unhappy You Were.
But You're Right.
I Missed A Lot
Of Your Life--
The Good, The Bad,
All The Moves,
The Schools.
If I Could Go Back
And Catch Up
On Everything That
I've Missed, I Would,
But I Can't.
As Captain Select,
I'm In Line
For Assignment
To Command
My Own Ship.
That's What I Worked
My Whole Life For.
You're Asking Me
To Give It Up.
Maddie...
I Don't Know
If You Know This.
Our Family Means
The Whole World To Me.
Holding It Together...
I'd Be Willing
To Give Myself
A New Direction.
I Talked To Your Mom
For A Long Time
Last Night, And...
I Decided
I'm Not Gonna Reup.
I'm Coming Home...
For Good.
Dad, Are You Serious?
Yeah.
I'm Serious.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Thank You. Thank You.
Oh, This Is So Great!
Are You Sure?
Yes, I'm Sure.
Thank You. Thank You.
[Ship Alarm Buzzing]
5:15?
P.A.: General Quarters!
General Quarters!
General Quarters!
Report To Your Stations.
[Jet Takes Off]
[Alarm Buzzer Buzzing]
All Right.
Lieutenant,
Stay With Me.
Dad. Dad!
Miss, Please.
Orders.
Return
To Your Quarters
Immediately.
Very Good. All Right,
What Do We Know?
Man: Let's Go, People.
Let's Do It Here.
Let's Go! Let's Go!
Woman: I'm On It.
Grace!
Any Squawks
That Are Unassigned,
I Want To Be Notified.
Yes, Sir.
All Right, Hey, Hey,
Mode 4s Are Challenged.
Got That, Everybody?
Mode 4s Are Challenged.
Sir. Sir.
There's A Second One.
Sir, Shall I
Prepare A Statement
For The Tigers, Sir?
No. No,
I'll Talk To 'Em.
Yes, Sir.
Lieutenant.
Sir?
We Need To Bump Up
On Our Alert Status.
C.O.S And The Cad
Report To Air Ops
Immediately.
Yes, Sir.
Man: Stand By For A-25.
Come On. Tina, Wake Up!
Tina, Something's Happening!
Cmdr. Dolan On P.A.:
I Have To Request
That All Tigers
Report To The Forecastle.
What Is It?
All Tigers, Please Report...
No Idea.
What's Going On?
This Some Sort Of Drill
Or Something?
Something About
An Explosion.
The Ship?
New York.
Yo, Dude, What'd You Say
About New York?
Mr. Horner! Mr. Horner!
Ow! What?!
Let's Go! The Bell!
What Bell?
I Heard This Big Bang,
So I Went Up On The Flight Deck,
And I Saw These Lights
And People Running
All Over The Place.
And The Crew--The Crew
Was Being Briefed
On Something.
All Right, Lieutenant,
Go To The C.D.C.
Tell 'Em We Want
All Communications Clear.
No Messages Going Out.
Only Official Messages
Coming In.
We're Gonna Have A Lot
Of Worried Folks Out There
Trying To Reach Us,
A Lot Of Nervous Tigers Here
Trying To Reach Them,
So We're Gonna Have
To Help Them Understand
The Situation We're In.
Yes, Sir.
All Right, Listen Up.
Until We Get Our Orders
From Operational Command,
We're In A Holding Pattern.
We Don't Know
Where We're Going.
Could Be Seattle,
San Diego, Honolulu...
Or We Could Be Deployed
On A Mission.
Until We Know The Full Extent
And Nature Of These Attacks,
We're Gonna Assume The Worst
And Stay On Full Alert.
We Have To Be
Ready For Battle
At A Moment's Notice.
That's Not Gonna Be Easy
With 800 Civilians On Board,
Many Of 'Em Our Own Kids.
Navy Doesn't Have
A Precedent For This.
We Cannot Allow Them
To Interfere With Our Duties.
All Of You Have To
Stay On Task.
That's The Best Thing
You Can Do
For The Loved Ones
On Board.
Excuse Me.
Excuse Me.
Excuse Me.
Joey!
Where's My Mom?
It's Ok.
I'll Stay With You.
Dad!
Maddie.
What's Going On?
Maddie, I Need You
To Stay Here
For A Little While.
Where's My Mom?
What Happened?
She's At Her Post, Son.
She'll Be With You
As Soon As She Can.
You Stay Here.
I Need To Know
Where I Can Find You.
But Tell Me What's
Going On. Dad!
...Current Report, Sir,
The Pentagon's Been Hit.
Same Way?
Yes, Sir.
If I Could Have
Your Attention, Please.
I Have To Make
An Announcement
That We All Need
To Respond To
As Intelligently
And As Calmly As Possible
Since It Will
Impact Our Lives Today,
Probably
For Many Years To Come.
We Just Received Word
A Little While Ago...
That An Orchestrated String
Of Airline Hijackings
Has Occurred.
These Planes Were Used
In A Surprise Attack
On The World Trade Center
In New York.
It Appears
The Attacks Are Continuing.
The Nation Has Gone
On Full Alert.
We Don't Know
Who's Responsible
For Them Or Why.
What We Do Know Is That
At Approximately 8 A.M.
Eastern Standard Time,
An Airliner Departed
From Boston
En Route To Los Angeles.
It Was Hijacked
Shortly After Takeoff
And Diverted To New York,
Where It Was Deliberately
Crashed Into The North Tower
Of The World Trade Center.
Almost Simultaneously,
A Second Airliner Was Hijacked,
Diverted To New York,
And Also Was Crashed,
This Time Into
The South Tower
Of The World Trade Center.
Both Of Our Towers
Are Destroyed.
The Loss Of Life
Is Expected To Be
In The Thousands.
There Are Reports
Of At Least
One Other Hijacking.
This Is An Extremely
Grave Situation
For Our Country.
Let Me Assure
All The Family Members
Of The Crew We Have
On Board With Us...
You're Gonna Be Safe.
And I Want To Say
That I Feel Proud
That Every Man And Woman
On This Ship
Is Ready And Trained
To Be Part Of Any Response
Our Nation May Decide
To Make
Against Those
Who Have Perpetrated
These Attacks.
[Quietly] Sir,
It's Now Confirmed.
A Third Airliner's
Crashed Into
The Pentagon.
All Right.
A Minimum Crew
On The Tigers.
Lieutenant Hillman
Here Will
Be Available
To Answer Any
Further Questions
You Might Have.
Lieutenant.
I'm Going To Head
For C.D.C. Before We
Head Up To The Bridge.
Dad!
Maddie, You Gotta
Stay Here, All Right?
Stay Here.
I'll Be Back.
Dad...
Tv Announcer:
Today The Crash Happened
At 9:45 A.M. Eastern Time.
A Jet Hitting The--
Danny, Here We Are
Maybe Going
Into Battle,
And You're Busy
Making Cookies?!
It's My Job, Dad.
Just As Concerned
As Everyone Else.
Announcer: No Estimates
From Pentagon Officials
On The Number Of Dead
And Injured.
What Did He Say?
The Federal Aviation
Administration Here
In Washington
Has Shut Down
The Nationwide...
The Pentagon Is
A Huge Place, Danny.
The Chances That
He Was Anywhere--
Your Uncle Bobby's
Fine.
I'm Sure He's Fine.
Well, Well, Do You
Think We Can Get Word
To Him Somehow?
Well, I'll Find Out.
As Soon
As I Hear Anything,
I'll Let You Know.
[Hushed Murmuring]
Oh, My God.
I'm Gonna Want An Assessment
Of All Munitions On Board,
Plus A Complete Evaluation
Of All The Jet Fuel
We've Got.
Sir, Another Plane's
Gone Down
Somewhere In Pennsylvania.
They Think It Was
Headed For Washington.
Unbelievable.
Well,
Let's Pray This Is
The Last One.
Sir, We've Just
Received Word
That The White House
Has Been Evacuated.
That's Confirmed?
Yes, Sir.
[Men Shouting Orders]
Are You Going
Up There?
I Don't Have
My Orders Yet.
Do You Think
We're Gonna
Get Attacked?
Tina, Look, The Connie
Is One Of The Safest Places
In The World Right Now.
Anybody Comes Near
This Ship, They're
Dealing With Me!
Even Grace Isn't Sure
What's Going On.
They're Just...
Flying Around On Patrol
In Case Somebody
Tries To Attack.
So, Joey, Is Your Dad
Gonna Meet You
When We Dock
In San Diego?
Yeah. He Wants To Win
The First Kiss Lottery
With Mom.
[Chuckles]
I'll Bet.
So, How Long
Was Your Mom Away
Before You Met Up
With Her In Hawaii?
I Don't Know.
A Long Time.
Same With My Dad.
Yeah. You Get
Used To It.
I Mean, That's
The Navy, Right?
What My Dad Says.
I Know.
Maddie.
Commander Dolan
Would Like You To Report
To The Mess Hall
Immediately.
Uh...Do You Mind
Watching Him?
No Problem.
All Right.
I'll Be Back.
Tv: This Is
The Scene Right Now
From New York City.
As You Can See,
Emergency Vehicles
Going Down The Street
Of What Used To Be
A Bustling
Financial District.
I Think We Should
Go After 'Em
With Everything
We Got.
We Don't Even Know
Who Did It.
Oh, Don't
Give Me That!
We Know Exactly
Who It Is.
No, We Don't.
And Neither Do You.
[Tv Coverage Continues,
Indistinct]
Commander.
Have You Heard
Anything More
About The Pentagon?
We're Gonna
Give You Updates
As We Get Them, Sir.
Look, I Know Many Of You
Want To Get Messages Out
To Your Relatives
And Your Loved Ones.
Unfortunately,
Until Further Notice,
All Communication
To And From The Ship
Is Suspended
For Security Purposes.
For How Long?
Until Further Notice,
Sir.
My Name's Horner,
Charles Horner,
Captain,
U.S. Marine Corps,
Retired.
My Brother Is
With The Joint Chiefs
Of Staff.
He's Assigned
To The Pentagon.
Then You Should
Be Familiar
With The Command.
Might Be A Couple
Of Hours. Might Be
A Couple Of Days.
We Have
No Way Of Knowing
At This Point.
I Just Have To Get
One Message Out.
I'm Sorry, Sir,
But That Is Impossible.
Commander, I Think
Maybe You Didn't Hear Me.
Those Are Orders, Sir.
Are We Clear?
Are There
Any Other Questions?
Is There Anything
We Can Do To Help,
Commander?
Ordinarily,
These Tiger Cruises Are
Very Happy Occasions,
And This One's
Just Gonna Be
A Little Different.
So...Until Further Notice,
All The Tiger Activities,
Including Today's
Unfurling Of The Flag,
Have Been Canceled.
The Crew Won't Be Able
To Interact With You
As Much As
We Would've Liked.
We Ask
That You Honor This
And Not Interfere
With Our Duties.
We Thank You All
Very Much
For Your Cooperation.
Lieutenant.
Sir.
I Don't Want
This News
On These
Television Sets.
I Want You
To Select Some Areas
For Those People
Who Want To Watch.
Put Something Else
On For The Kids--
Some Movies
Or Something.
Yes, Sir.
Maddie, Uh...
Look, I'm Sorry
I Ran Out On You
Earlier Today.
It's Ok. I Figured.
I Want
To Ask You.
I Need
Kind Of A Liaison
With The Young Tigers.
Not To Rat Anybody Out
Or Anything Like That.
Just To
Keep Me Posted.
Are They Scared?
Are They Bored?
What Kind Of Questions
Do They Have?
What Can We Do To Make
Things Easier On 'Em?
That Kind Of Thing,
'Cause I Think It's
Gonna Get A Little Rougher
Next Couple Of Days.
So What Do You Think?
Would You Be Up
For Something Like That?
Aye, Aye, Sir.
Please...No Sarcasm.
All Right? Not Today.
Dad.
I'll Do It. I Wasn't
Being Sarcastic,
Honest.
I'm Sorry.
It's Just...
Sometimes It's
Kinda Hard To Tell
With You.
You Know?
'Scuse Me.
Commander.
I Really Have To
Talk To You.
Mr. Horner,
This Is--
My Brother Is Stationed
In The Pentagon.
His Office
Is In The Wing
That Was Hit.
I'm Very Sorry
About That.
I Just Have To
Make One Call.
That's Impossible.
That's All
I'm Asking.
So You're Tellin' Me
What, We're Completely
Isolated Out Here?
Yes. Until Communication
Gets Restored,
We're Isolated.
So I'm Sorry.
Please!
Mr. Horner,
Please.
Charles: Sorry.
I'm Sorry.
I'm--
[Sighs]
Look, You Give Me
His Name And His Rank
And His Department.
As Soon
As I Hear Anything,
I'll Let You Know.
Thank You.
Thank You
Very Much.
May Get Worse
Before It Gets Better.
You Still
Want To Help Me?
Yeah.
Ok. Thanks.
Ok.
[Young Child Crying]
[Crying]
Ok...
Hey, Sweetie,
It's Ok.
Everything's
Gonna Be Ok.
I Just Wanna
Go Home.
[Sobbing]
It's Gonna Be--
[Sobbing]
[Tearfully]
I Want To Go
Home, Too.
I Know.
[Indistinct Chatter]
Look Here.
Yeah.
Ha! This Is Unbelievable.
The Whole Country's
At A Standstill
'Cause All
The Air Traffic
Has Been Suspended.
There Isn't A Commercial
Or A Civilian Aircraft
In The Sky.
We've Got 800 Civilians
On Board Who Live
All Over The Country,
And We Can't
Get Them Home.
Shall We Set Up
Some Sort
Of Contingency Plan
For The Tigers?
We're Gonna Need
A Long List
Of Contingency Plans.
We Don't Know Where
We're Dropping Them Off.
We Don't Even Know
If We Drop Them Off.
Maddie?
Maddie.
I'll Be Right Back.
Hey.
Hey. Say,
It's Gettin' Pretty Late.
These Kids
Ought To Get To Bed.
I Think They Want
To Stay In Here.
Yeah, I'm Sure They Do,
But We Clear The Mess--
Daddy. They're Scared.
I Mean, I Think
They Just Want To Be
With Each Other.
We Can Bend The Regs
For One Night, Can't We?
Another Half-Hour.
Deal.
Good Night.
Good Night.
Uh, Dad?
[Sighs]
Is There Anything
Going On Out There
That You're
Not Telling Us?
Well, We Don't Know
A Lot Right Now.
We're Just Gonna Have
To Be Ready, Is All.
Why?
What Are You Thinking?
Um...
Nothing.
It's Just...
It's Just, Um...
Yeah.
[Weeps Softly]
I'm Scared.
It's Gonna Be All Right.
It's Gonna Be Fine.
Child: Maddie?
Um...
Maddie?
I Gotta Go.
Ok.
Uh...
[Approaching Jet]
Tina: So What's
Goin' On Up There?
Did You See
Anything?
Grace: Not Even
A Sea Gull.
It's Very Quiet.
Nobody's Comin'
After Us, Tina.
They'd Better Not,
Or They'd Be
In Big Trouble.
Sir.
We're Gonna Be Rearming
In Less Than 2 Hours.
I Want All The Civilian
Personnel Belowdecks
During
The Entire Procedure.
Yes, Sir.
P.A.: Stand By
For Primaries.
Tv: Ladies And Gentleman,
What You're Seeing Here
Is Live Footage.
You're Seeing It
And I'm Seeing It
For The Very First Time.
There You See
Some Rescue Workers
Huggin' Each Other,
Um...Comforting
Each Other, If You Will.
Uh, It Is A Scene
Of Devastation
That, Um...
Has Got To Be So Hard
For These--
These Brave Men
And Women In The Debris.
Uh, There You Still See
The Emergency...
Connie's So Huge.
Feel So Safe.
I Guess I Never
Really Thought About Us
Being In The Middle
Of The Ocean With
People Shooting At Us.
My Dad Was
In The Gulf War.
My Mom Was A Mess
Till He Got Back.
A Lot.
Child: I Wanna
Watch A Movie.
Second Child:
Why Can't We Watch
A Movie?
Go Away. No.
So?
Go To The Wardroom
And Watch The News.
We Wanna
Watch A Movie.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Well, I Was
Here First.
What's The Problem?
No Problem.
I Was Just
Watchin' The News,
And They Wanna Watch
Some Dumb Movie.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Um...Anthony,
It Might Be A Good Idea
To Watch A Movie.
Ok. Fine.
If Y'all Want
To Sit Around And Not
Know What's Goin' On,
Great!
Watch A Dumb Movie.
Oh, Yeah.
Yeah!
[Movie Begins,
Indistinct]
Tv Announcer:
...Going In And Out.
Um...And From
What I Can See
And I'm Sure
You're Seeing As Well,
It Is A Mess. Um...
[Continues, Indistinct]
There's Another, Uh...
[Continues, Indistinct]
Do I Really
Look Like This?
Today, Yeah.
You Were A Lot More Fun
When You Were Actin'
Like A Clown.
Why Do You
Keep Watching It?
It's So Depressing.
Have You Ever Seen 'Em?
The Towers In Real Life?
Once.
Yeah?
Well, I'm
From Staten Island,
About Half A Mile
Away From The River.
[Sighs]
My Neighborhood.
A Lot Of Guys
I Knew...
Their Parents Worked
In Those Buildings.
I Used To See 'Em...
Walkin' Down The Street
To The Ferry.
This Girl In My Class...
Her Dad's A Fireman.
And My Grandfather's
Back There Right Now.
And He Knew People.
Those Towers...
[Sighs]
They Were Just There.
You Know?
I Never Got Tired
Of Lookin' At 'Em.
They Were
So Big And Cool.
The Way The Sun Would
Reflect Off Of 'Em.
It's Gonna Be
So Different.
Just Not
The Same Anymore.
[Escort's Horn Blows]
Come On.
We Better Get Inside.
[Indistinct Chatter]
This Is A Restricted Area, Sir.
You'll Have To Move Inside.
Man: Lift It!
[Horn Blows]
[Buzzer]
I Was Just On Deck,
And I'll Tell You
What We're Doing.
We're Arming This Ship!
How Can You Be
So Sure?
There's A Munitions
Supply Ship
Up There Right Now.
You Know Something's
Goin' On.
Why Can't You
Get Your Calls Out?
Commander. Is It True?
Are We Takin' On Munitions?
This Ship Always
Carries Munitions, Sir.
Then Why
The New Stuff?
Huh?
You Don't
Need Warheads
For A Tiger Cruise.
What We're Doing
Is We're Topping Off
With Weapons
And Supplies
We Would Want To Have
Just In Case
We Are Deployed.
So You're Saying
We Could Be Going
Into A Battle!
It's Always A Possibility
With A Carrier, Sir.
Look. I Understand
You're Not Familiar
With What
We Have To Do.
But You All Have
A Very Important Job
To Do Us, Too.
You Have To Stay Calm.
And Most Importantly,
You Have To Let
Our Kids Know
They're Gonna Be Ok.
Are We Clear?
Any Questions,
You Can Bring 'Em To Me.
Thank You.
We Set Course
For San Diego,
And We're Gonna Arrive
There A Day Early.
That's Great!
It's Complicated.
Our Position's
Classified.
We Have To Slip
Into Port Unannounced.
The Whole Base
Is On A Military Lockdown.
There'll Be Nobody
There To Meet You. Ok?
I'm Going Out Again,
Maddie.
When?
Straightaway.
Dad, You Promised
You'd Come Home.
Nobody Expected
What Happened Today.
And This Is My Crew,
And They're Counting On Me.
Well, What If
Something Else Happens?
Maddie...
This Is What I Do.
Look At The Cops
And The Firefighters
In New York City.
They Didn't Stand There
And Say, "No, I'm Not
Gonna Go In There.
It's Too Dangerous."
They Did Their Jobs
Because People Were
Counting On Them.
I Have A Lot Of People
Who Are Counting On Me.
Guess I Really Never
Thought About It
Like That.
I Said That I Would Be Home.
I Will.
But For Now,
I Have To Do My Duty.
Sir?
Mr. Horner.
What've You Heard?
Well, We Finally Received
Word From The Pentagon.
I'm Afraid...
I'm Sorry.
The Pentagon Has Reported
That Your Brother
Has Been Listed As Missing.
Thank You.
Ok?
Lieutenant.
Get Them Out
As Soon As We Can.
Yes, Sir.
[Jet Engine Warming Up]
Mr. Horner?
I'm Sorry
About Your Brother.
He Was My Little Brother.
Full-Bird Colonel
In The U.S. Marine Corps.
But He Was Always Gonna Be
My Little Brother.
At The Pentagon...
The Safest Place
On Earth.
Makes You Wonder
What It's Gonna Be Like
When We Get Back There.
Would You Do Me
A Favor?
Apologize To Your Dad
For Me.
I Was Kind Of--
He's A Good Man.
He's A Good Officer.
He Does A Job
Not Many People Would Do.
A Lot Of Sacrifice.
We Tend To Forget
About People Like That...
Until We Need 'Em.
Makes Me Feel
A Little Safer
Just Knowin' That There
Are Men Like Him...
Out There,
Keepin' An Eye On Things.
Thank You.
You're Welcome.
Grace?
Yeah?
You Ever Been Shot At?
No.
Why?
Just Wondering.
You Know,
I'd Hate To...Just...
In Case...
There's Somethin' You
Have To Realize Here.
We Are The First
Line Of Defense
For This Country.
And A Lot Of Times,
We Have No Idea
What We're Flyin' Into.
And It's Scary.
But You Have To Do
Your Duty.
[Indistinct Chatter]
[Telephone Rings]
[Ring]
It's Not A Good Time
To See The X.O., Maddie.
He's Right
In The Middle Of It.
Oh.
Wasn't Easy.
Looks Like Every Tiger
We Can't Get Home
Should Be Covered.
Great.
You Know, Only Your Dad
Could Pull This Off.
Especially With
Our Classified Arrival.

I Mean, I Know
I Haven't
Laughed In...
Whoo!
Since...
Felt Good,
Didn't It?
Got That Right.
[Chuckling]
Sure Did.
[Sighs]
I Mean...There's
Gotta Be Something...
There's Gotta Be Somethin'
That Everyone Can Do.
[Sighs]
Well, They're Ready To Go!
Let's Go
Over Here!
We Know That A Lot
Of Things On The Schedule
Had To Be Canceled,
And That's Totally
Understandable.
But, Sir, I Think...
There Is One Thing,
Especially Now,
That...I Think
We Should Try To Do.
All Of Us.
Girl: Yeah!
[Indistinct Excited Chatter]
[Chuckles]
[Laughter]
Got You.
Ha Ha!
Child: So Cool!
Ha Ha!
Ha Ha!
Quite A Tiger,
That Daughter Of Yours.
Yes, Sir.
She Certainly Is, Sir.
Ha Ha Ha!
Ahh! Ha Ha!
If I Could Have
Your Attention, Please.
Many Of You Know
Honor, Courage,
And Commitment
Are The Core Values
Of The Navy.
And Each Of You
Has Displayed
These Values
In The Last Few Days.
Our Country's
Been Attacked,
And We May Have
Some Tough Times Ahead.
But If There's One Good Thing
To Come Out Of This Tragedy,
It's The Way That You All
Have Conducted Yourselves.
Your Actions In The Face
Of Adversity
Were Nothing Short
Of Exemplary.
And On Behalf Of The Crew,
We Want To Congratulate You.
The Unfurling Of The Flag
This Morning
Meant A Lot
To All Of Us.
You All Did A Fine Job.
I'm Really Glad
You Were With Us.
And As You Leave Here Today,
I Want You All To Know
We're Proud Of You.
P.A.: Uss Constellation
Arriving.
[Indistinct Chatter]
Commander
Was Very Nice.
He Said You Could
Have The Leave,
No Problem...
For The Service.
Yeah. I Know. I...
I Think I Oughta
Stay With The Crew And...
Head Back Out.
Yeah. I Think
You're Right.
I Am Proud
Of You, Son.
Sailors Gotta Eat,
Right?
[Chuckles]
Right.
P.A.: All Tigers,
Please Go To The Table
That Has The First Letter
Of Your Last Name.
All Tigers,
All Tigers,
Please Go To The Table
That Has The First Letter
Of Your Last Name.
Looks Like
We're Coming
Into An Enemy Port.
Here.
Cool.
[Chuckles]
All Right.
Here. Here.
Oh, I'm Gonna
Miss You Guys!
Miss You, Too.
Have A Safe Trip.
Bye.
All Right.
Daddy's Not
Gonna Be Here
Until Tomorrow
Night, And Then
You're Gonna
Stay With Him
At His Family's.
Why Can't You Stay?
I Just...
I Can't,
That's All.
But You Know What?
I Got A Little Time
Before I Have To Be
Back, And We Can Do
Anything You Want.
Anything?
Yep.
Can We Get
Some Ice Cream?
[Chuckles] Yeah.
Let's Go Get
Some Ice Cream.
So Be Cool
And Keep
Outta Trouble. Ok?
Yeah. You, Too.
[Chuckles]
Yo, Boats.
Thanks.
Tell Pops I'll Call Him
As Soon As I Can.
Just Be Careful, Ok?
You Got It.
Raise The Arm.
Straighten
The Fingers.
[Mouths Word]
All Right.
This Is Your Contact.
Keep An Eye On Her,
Will You?
Yes, Commander.
I, Uh...
Made This For You.
Oh.
Hey! That's Great.
That--
That's Really Great.
You Know, You're
Kinda Makin' Me
Look Pretty Dashing.
When I Get Home,
We'll Have It Framed.
[Sighs]
Dad, What If
Something Else Happens?
I Mean,
What If It's Not Over?
What If We Go
To War Or Something?
We'll Be Ready
If It Happens.
Believe Me.
Everything's
Different Now.
Don't Worry.
I Remember What
We Talked About.
Maybe I Was Wrong.
I Mean, I Want You
To Come Home,
But I Don't
Want You To Quit.
I Think You Should Keep Doing
What You're Doing.
I'll Be Ok.
Are You Sure
You're Gonna Be Ok?
Yeah.
Ehh...
I Love You.
Stop Growin' So Fast.
I Want To Recognize You
Next Time.
Aye, Aye, Sir.
The X.O.
Your Father?
Yeah.
So You're A Brat, Huh?
[Chuckles]
Yeah.
I'm A Brat.
You Know I Try To Be
All That I Can
I Know Reality
Most Things
Are Not That Bright
When My World Goes Crazy
You Won't Let Go
When The Ground
Gets Shaky
You Give Me Hope
Now, When I Start Doubtin'
You Help Me See
There's Strength
And A Light
And A Power In Me
For Believin' There
Ain't Nothin' I Can't Do
My Hero Is You
My Hero Is You, You
