Film Transcript / Subtitles

I can't believe it. The Air Force, they wouldn't take me. They'd turn me up. I mean, down. I figured you flipped your hive trying to join. Let's get out of here. All that buzzing about extra pay for part-time training, generous retirement benefits, a refreshing change of pay. We've read that before, but they keep talking about flying positions. We've been flying like this for 20 years, give or take 10, and how they need pilots, navigators, load masses, nurses. You're sure, cousin, but the Air Force Reserve is for people. You're a bee. Yeah, now you tell me. But that wasn't why they turned me down. It was a confounded aerodynamics expert. Aerodynamics expert, yes. He claimed that bees can't fly. Bees can't fly. What are we doing, bowling? Whether you can fly or not, beeline it to your local Air Force Reserve unit or the Reserve Affairs officer at the nearest Air Force base for further information. It's the honey of a deal. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
