DURAN DURAN LYRICS
"Rio"
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: West! What the hell are you doing?
1LT Shane Vansen: He's overriden the system.
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: You are one dead marine if you don't stop right now. Think about it, West. Where the hell do you think you're going, soldier? You have a mission to fly. Drop that cockpit and you are gone! Gone! This is the dumbest move I've ever seen, West. Tellus is hot. The aliens owns it. You'll be BOLO'd before entry. Now you turn 'em and burn 'em right back here.
He's beyond insubordination. He's on the brink of desertion. He's out there operating with no regard for good order or proper conduct. He thinks he's only putting himself in danger but by bailing out of the mission, he puts all of your lives on the line! He threatens every grunt that hits the beach who relies on our recon. This war wasn't made just for Nathan West! Every life in this war is tied together!

Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Remarks at a Memorial Day Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia
May 26th, 1986
Today is the day we put aside to remember fallen heroes and to pray that no heroes will ever have to die for us again. It's a day of thanks for the valor of others, a day to remember the splendor of America and those of her children who rest in this cemetery and others. It's a day to be with the family and remember.
I was thinking this morning that across the country children and their parents will be going to the town parade and the young ones will sit on the sidewalks and wave their flags as the band goes by. Later, maybe, they'll have a cookout or a day at the beach.

All of this stuff is true. It must be true. I am finding myself thinking again about a dream I wrote about. Something about me scaling the side of some very tall concrete structure. I imagine standing there on a beach looking up at it
{{{{{

I have been having some thoughts lately that the Roberts was actually hit by a torpedo in April 1988. Then I started to wonder why they didn’t fire more to finish it off. But then I thought that maybe they expected the mines to finish it off. They timed the attack with the Roberts entering the minefield. I also think I was on the Roberts at the time and that would explain a lot. I wrote about a “memory” I have of being in Gitmo back in 1985 while the Taylor was down there for shakedown. I wrote about a large metal buoy that was floating near that island where the Navy used to store anchor chain. I have these vague thoughts of being thrown around in a Boston whaler I was in by myself one night while the rest of the guys were on the nearby island, where we were having a party. I was thrown around in the boat because I hit that big metal buoy. Then I have some “memories of towing it in to the island. I think the boat represents that I was on the Roberts at the time of the explosion. The memory of my towing the buoy may represent those thoughts I have described of towing the unexploded mines away from the Roberts so they wouldn’t drift into it and sink it. But I am confused as to whether I towed them away while swimming, with a rope tied to me and the mine, which would actually explain other thoughts, or whether I used the Roberts motor whaleboat to tow away the mines. Those whaleboats are mostly fiberglass as I recall, but the machinery is all metallic of course, and I think there are miscellaneous metallic pieces on it. Maybe I did both as the reports I read indicate there were three mines floating nearby after the explosion. I am thinking I towed them off to a safe distance where they could be detonated with a rifle from a hovering helicopter. I also need to think more about that day we were out boating in the bay at Gitmo. I have been “remembering” a lot of details from that time, but I am not sure what it means. We had a small flotilla of whalers and one large pontoon boat crossing the bay heading towards that island. I remember I had the beer in my boat. One of the other boats wanted some beers so I was throwing beers into their boat as we sped across the bay. At one point, I threw a beer and it was impaled on the other boats anchor. At another point, we couldn’t get the pontoon boat started again after we made landfall on the coast of the other side of the bank and had to fire a flare to notify the marina to send out a power boat to tow it back across the bay. I also remember some very specific, but confusing thoughts a long time ago that I was on the Roberts when it hit the mine and then I was on the Wainwright for Operation Praying Mantis. It made no sense and seemed just random thoughts. But I am wondering if it is true. I am thinking though that the Wainwright actually represents the USS Chandler and I was in charge of a SEAL platoon embarked on the Chandler. In my “memory,” the SEALs didn’t have to go aboard the GOSP but I am wondering if that is true.

We know there are wild boar on the island. Razorbacks, by the look of them.

Razorback

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_my_French
"Pardon my French" or "Excuse my French" is a common English language phrase ostensibly disguising profanity as French. The phrase is uttered in an attempt to excuse the user of profanity or curses in the presence of those offended by it under the pretense of the words being part of a foreign language. Another interpretation is that the speaker is compelled to use the distasteful language and is apologizing to the audience for the necessity.
The phrase has found large use in broadcast television and family films where less offensive words are followed by "pardon my French" to emphasise their meaning without violating censorship or rating guidelines. A good example is in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Cameron calls Mr. Rooney and says, "Pardon my French, but you're an asshole."

If a distress call was sent on April 14, 1988, at 1952.5 local time, and was repeated two times per minute, it would have repeated 17,294,535 times by September 22, 2004, at 2100. I didn't account for the probably that the reception time should match the same time as this scene aired during this particular episode of Lost, which I guess is around 2155.

[This is another obvious reference in the Pilot episode of Lost. They mention that the distress call had been going for 16 years, 5 months. The difference between April 1988, when I was in the Persian Gulf, and September 2004, when this episode aired, is 16 years, 5 months.]

SAWYER: Don't forget to carry the 1, chief.
SHANNON: She's saying, she's saying: "Please help me, please come get me."
SAWYER: Or, she's not. You don't even speak French.
KATE: Let her listen.
BOONE: Shut up man.
CHARLIE: The battery. The battery.
RADIO: Iteration 17294535.
SHANNON [translating]: I'm alone now, on the island alone. Please someone come. The others, they're, they're dead. It killed them. It killed them all.
BOONE: That was good.
SAYID: 16 years.
SAWYER: What?
SAYID: 16 years and 5 months, that's the count.
BOONE: What the hell are you talking about?
SAYID: The iterations. It's a distress call, a plea for help, a mayday. If the count is right it's been playing over and over for 16 years.
BOONE: Someone else was stranded here?
KATE: Maybe they came for them?
SAWYER: If someone came why is it still playing?
CHARLIE: Guys, where are we?

Memorable quotes for
Screamers (1995)
Hendricksson: What are we doing? What in God's name are we doing Chuck?
Chuck Elbarak: We don't know if it’s true about Green, I mean we just saw...
Hendricksson: We saw bullshit is what we saw. You know as well as I do they can send us anything they want. Hell, they can make a goddamn hologram out of a dog and pony show.
Chuck Elbarak: That kid doesn't know policy, he’s a grunt...
Hendricksson: Get your head outta the lilacs man.
Chuck Elbarak: What do you expect me to believe here? That we're being dumped just like that? That twenty years of death and a stand against the horror up here has turned into a fucking galactic gold rush? Why do they keep sending us provisions? What do you think, that they're waiting for us to grow old and die up here so they can... carry on running the universe?
Hendricksson: Yes.
Chuck Elbarak: Well fuck you, I don't buy it!
Hendricksson: Well wake up man! We are betrayed here brother. We are beached!
