"[The morning after Alex has broken into a convenience store to get a chicken burrito and been arrested by the police, Alex wakes up in an ice bath while his brother is yelling at him.] I've had it! Look at yourself! How is it that you screw everything up?! Oh, by the way, that girl you were trying to impress last night? Do you know who her father is? Admiral Shane! He runs the whole damn fleet! So now, you're messing with MY JOB! MY LIFE! Now I've always stayed out of your business, haven't I? 'Cause I was hoping that maybe one day, you would learn from your mistakes- you would grow up, you would mature a bit! You're 26, and what've you got? You've got, $65 to your name? A car that doesn't start, you're living on my couch... [Alex has managed to get out of the ice bath Stone threw him in while he was passed out; he is now sitting on the couch.] As of right now, as of right this second there's a new dynamic at play. And this dynamic is the following: from here on, until I state otherwise, there will be no more debate, no more discussion, no more compromise! It's me speaking, you listening! Me saying, you doing. Do you understand that? [Pauses] It's time for a new course of action. A new direction; a game change. You're joining me in the Navy."
