She's beautiful.
You must leave her, brother.
Macleod.
I was born years ago.
In that time, I've had three wives.
The last was Shakiko, a Japanese princess.
Her father, Masamune, a genius...made this for me...
in B.C.It is the only one of its kind...
like his daughter.
When Shakiko died, I was shattered.
I would save you that pain.

What are you looking at, Rachel?
The eyes in the back of your head.
People are asking about you.
What am I supposed to say?
Hmm?
Tell them I'm immortal.

Okay, marine, this is for real!
Yah!
Let's go!
Go, go, go, go! Come on, come on!
What the hell is going on?

I checked everywhere.
There aren't any witnesses.
That's New York for you.
Twenty people standing around. Nobody saw a thing.
Tell me about Matunas. Is he on drugs?
He's a survival nut.
What?
He was a marine.
His ex-c.o. said he was paranoid...
but he was a good man.

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. And that's good, because today is a day to be with the family and to remember.

Arlington, this place of so many memories, is a fitting place for some remembering. So many wonderful men and women rest here, men and women who led colorful, vivid, and passionate lives. There are the greats of the military: Bull Halsey and the Admirals Leahy, father and son; Black Jack Pershing; and the GI's general, Omar Bradley. Great men all, military men. But there are others here known for other things.

Here in Arlington rests a sharecropper's son who became a hero to a lonely people. Joe Louis came from nowhere, but he knew how to fight. And he galvanized a nation in the days after Pearl Harbor when he put on the uniform of his country and said, "I know we'll win because we're on God's side." Audie Murphy is here, Audie Murphy of the wild, wild courage. For what else would you call it when a man bounds to the top of a disabled tank, stops an enemy advance, saves lives, and rallies his men, and all of it single-handedly. When he radioed for artillery support and was asked how close the enemy was to his position, he said, "Wait a minute and I'll let you speak to them." [Laughter]

Michael Smith is here, and Dick Scobee, both of the space shuttle Challenger. Their courage wasn't wild, but thoughtful, the mature and measured courage of career professionals who took prudent risks for great reward—in their case, to advance the sum total of knowledge in the world. They're only the latest to rest here; they join other great explorers with names like Grissom and Chaffee.

Oliver Wendell Holmes is here, the great jurist and fighter for the right. A poet searching for an image of true majesty could not rest until he seized on "Holmes dissenting in a sordid age." Young Holmes served in the Civil War. He might have been thinking of the crosses and stars of Arlington when he wrote: "At the grave of a hero we end, not with sorrow at the inevitable loss, but with the contagion of his courage; and with a kind of desperate joy we go back to the fight."

All of these men were different, but they shared this in common: They loved America very much. There was nothing they wouldn't do for her. And they loved with the sureness of the young. It's hard not to think of the young in a place like this, for it's the young who do the fighting and dying when a peace fails and a war begins. Not far from here is the statue of the three servicemen—the three fighting boys of Vietnam. It, too, has majesty and more. Perhaps you've seen it—three rough boys walking together, looking ahead with a steady gaze. There's something wounded about them, a kind of resigned toughness. But there's an unexpected tenderness, too. At first you don't really notice, but then you see it. The three are touching each other, as if they're supporting each other, helping each other on.

NEERA
(doubtful)
How will you get us out of here?

SHEPPARD
(covering his doubt)
Okay, I haven't figured that part out yet, but when I do, it's going to be real impressive.

NEERA
The Wraith will not allow us to escape.

SHEPPARD
Yeah, well I try not to let them tell me what I can and can't do.

NEERA
You do not fear them?

SHEPPARD
The Wraith? Nah. Now, clowns, that's another story. Scare the crap out of me.

Maybe that is why Suzanne Morgan told me that her husband is very afraid of clowns.

Croatia Joins Slovenia In Annulling Federal Laws

By Dusan Stojanovic

AP

ZAGREB, Yugoslavia - Croatia today invalidated all federal laws in its territory, joining Slovenia in taking a step toward secession.

Slovenia's parliament yesterday voted 173-1 to annul federal laws in the republic, and adopted a resolution formally initiating its secession from Yugoslavia.

The moves by Croatia and Slovenia, the most prosperous and Westernized of Yugoslavia's six states, bring the Balkan federation to the brink of disintegration. Both republics elected non-Communist governments last year.

``Slovenia intends to embark on the process of dissolution immediately,'' said President Milan Kucan, adding that if no consensus on Yugoslavia's total dissolution could be reached by June, Slovenia would secede.

Slovenian and Croatian officials have cited Yugoslavia's decade-long inability to solve deep ethnic, political and economic crises as the reason for their drive toward independence.

Communist-ruled Serbia, the largest republic, has strongly opposed any plans to change the current federal system governing the six republics and two provinces. It is backed by the pro-Communist, Serbian-dominated commanders of the federal armed forces.

Deputies in Croatia's parliament today overwhelmingly approved the amendment to the republic's constitution establishing the supremacy of Croatia's local laws over federal ones.

It also stipulates that federal authorities have no authority to proclaim a state of emergency in the republic, and that only Croatia's president and parliament can order the use of armed force on the republic's territory in peacetime.

These measures were aimed at defusing any potential conflict with the federal army in Croatia, the second-largest republic in the Yugoslav union after Serbia.

Croatia's legislature approved the changes, 336-4.

The Croatian and Slovenian moves raised the stakes for talks tomorrow among the six republican presidents, the national presidency and government leaders.

INT—WRAITH CELL

SHEPPARD
Do you have anything sharp? Knife? Hairpin? Anything to puncture the skin on these walls?

NEERA
No.

SHEPPARD
It's just that everyone in my last cell had one, so…

NEERA
Your people were taken by the Wraith, too?

SHEPPARD
A few.

NEERA
My whole world was destroyed, my people taken and brought here. I watched as my own mother and younger brother were fed upon.

SHEPPARD
I'm sorry to hear that.

NEERA
We had no means to fight the Wraith. We are a simple, peaceful people.

SHEPPARD
We're peaceful, too, but the good news is, we have the means to put up a hell of a fight.

NEERA
You have fought the Wraith before?

SHEPPARD
Lots of times. Won some battles, lost some. War's not over by a long shot, but we're managing to hold our own.

NEERA
And the clowns?

SHEPPARD
(sincerely)
Clowns? Oh, yeah, the clowns. Yeah, we fight them, too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens. We do our best to fight them off, but…they keep sending them in.

I'll stay right here.
Do as I say, woman!
Aaah!
