[in the Bronx VA hospital]
Ron Kovic:
This place is a fuckin' slum!
Marvin:
You want out of here, man? Fine. We take that leg of yours, and we can get you out of here in two weeks!
Ron Kovic:
I want my leg.
Marvin:
Why?
Ron Kovic:
I want my leg!
Marvin:
Why? You can't feel it no how!
Ron Kovic:
(incredulous and angry) It's my leg! I want my leg, you understand? Can't you understand that? All's I'm sayin' is that I want to be treated like a human being! I fought for my country! I am a Vietnam veteran! I fought for my country!
Patient:
[off-camera]
Shut the fuck up!
Ron Kovic:
And I think that I deserve to be treated... decent!
