Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

Scorpion-class pulse warriors.

Kamikaze bombardiers.

Every day, new bugs show up on the battlefield.

Watch out! Get down, get down!

So many that some wonder:

Are we loosing this war?

Don't bet on it, citizen.

Here at Oppenheimer proving grounds...

Federal scientists are cooking up some nasty top-secret surprises...

Of their own.

Would you like to know more?

But the newest weapon in the mobile infantry's arsenal...

Is the not-so-secret shovel.

Greater bug firepower means trenches.

And that means digging here on roku San...

This once peaceful farm planet...

That has become the new frontline of the second bug war.

There you go, trooper. And put your back into it.

If you're against the war, you're against us.

That's what a federal judge said today...

When he declared that hanging is absolutely good enough...

For anyone who threatens the morale of the federation.

And death. Execute them all.

This is a very simple ruling. People need to watch what they say.

Admiral enolo phid, division chief, fleet intelligence...

Voiced another concern from her headquarters at terran command.

The revival of religious worship here and in the outer colonies...

Will not be tolerated if it leads to sedition...

Or in any other way destabilizes our war effort.

He's dark, he's handsome, he's psychic.

Courage, duty, honor

eagle high above

he's general Omar anoke, the sky marshal everyone loves.

And gives us strength to go and win this war

and at last night's war rally...

He thrilled audiences all across the federation...

With a pounding rendition of his latest hit, "a good day to die."

We fight for what is right

a noble sacrifice

when duty calls, you pay the price

for the federation i will give my life

and hey, citizen, now you can celebrate sky marshal anoke...

And support our war effort at the same time.

Because it's always a good day to buy.

- I will give my life - courage, duty, honor

for the federation i will give my life

incoming!

- Clear out! - Run!

Move, move, move!

Can you walk, soldier?

- Yes, sir. - Good.

Give us a hand. Pick up that arm and find out who it belongs to.

Yes, sir.

Mop up, people. We got brass up our ass in t-minus-2.

Surprise inspection, sir? Tonight?

The sm can drop in and count the sheets any time he wants.

The sky marshal's coming here?

Ask him for an autograph, lieutenant manion, and I will have you shot.

No, sir. Of course not, sir.

- Officer on deck. - Carry on.

Status?

- Archie's testing the fence again, sir. - Stupid bugs.

Pesky, not stupid, lieutenant.

Keep it up, Archie. I like my bugs fried in the morning.

Boat coming down, colonel.

Look sharp, troopers.

Sir, the sky marshal is the federation's top-secret top secret.

So how'd you know he was coming?

Anoke's chief of staff used to Polish my brass.

You know general hauzer?

Dix hauzer was a dope lieutenant just like you once upon a time.

Made general in two years. Some dope.

Only took me eight years to make colonel.

Officer on deck.

- John rico. - Good to see you, dix.

- How's it going? - Good.

I have to introduce you to someone. I think I'm in love.

Yeah? Who'd have you?

Here he comes, everybody. Let's go, come on.

Officer on deck.

Sorry to drop in unannounced, colonel.

And yet I sense you expect my visit.

Get in tight on this, sergeant. Johnny rico, our hero of planet p.

I just did my part, sir.

Oh, no. Heroes inspire courage, sacrifice.

- Sacrifice? - Yes.

By asking us to be better than what we are.

Tell me about roku San, colonel.

Will these farmers fight?

They need us, but they don't like us, sir.

Hearts are more fickle than minds.

Johnny rico.

Lola Beck?

What are you doing here?

I fly the sm.

He gets the best.

Well, you know me, Johnny.

Yes, I know you.

Captain Beck is the person i was talking about earlier.

You?

And Lola?

What's the joke?

Captain Beck, you should have informed me...

Of your relationship with colonel rico.

You know what I do out of uniform is off the clock, general.

You three obviously have much to discuss.

Buy them both a drink on me, colonel.

Yes, sir.

- Lieutenant manion, isn't it? - Yes, sir.

- Care to give me the post tour? - Me?

I have all your songs, sir.

- Carry on, lieutenant. - Yes, sir.

Follow me, sir.

Come on, kids. We got orders.

You boys are the biggest girls I've ever known.

What do you think of them?

Bugs? I hate them, sir.

Well, no one likes what they can't understand.

But just look at the imagination.

The sheer virtuosity of their creation.

I hate to bother you, sir, but could you please sign my helmet?

Of course, trooper.

- Thank you, sir. - Anytime, son.

All I know is...

There sure are a lot more of them at the wire today, sir.

A lot more.

Well, maybe they heard i was going to sing.

- Officer on deck. - Look sharp.

At ease.

Gentlemen.

You got me confused with someone who isn't a farmer.

- How do I get me a hat like that? - Join up, do your part.

Farmers.

- I'd like to ask you something. - Sorry, chief.

Already married.

Buy them a drink on me, will you? And bring us a bottle.

Hose your cage, Harlan.

These are the kind of people who will lose this war for us.

Why is it no one in the outer colonies wants to fight?

Roku San used to be a nice place.

Now it's war, and they blame us.

Archie's cooking tonight.

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.

- What are they thinking? - Archie don't think.

It's a good day to fry.

- Ten-hut. - At ease, troopers.

Fascinating.

They seem so excited tonight.

You ought to hear them, sir. They're howling out there.

Well, put them on the line, soldier.

What does it mean, sir?

It means we're being tested, lieutenant.

Our loyalty, our intelligence...

Our imagination.

Excuse me, sir. My brother really loves you.

- Of course. What's his name? - Kevin.

- I'm sure he'll make a fine recruit. - Thank you.

- May I, sir? - Of course you can, trooper.

Ask him for an autograph, lieutenant manion, and I will have you shot.

Hey, where'd he go?

To us.

To us.

To John, hero of planet p.

Lola, two ships shot out from under you.

I fly a goddamn desk.

The battles I fight are with numbers. That's what I do.

That's what I know.

And that's why I know...

That if everyone in here doesn't step up, we're sunk.

- To the federation. - The federation.

"To the federation."

So, dix.

Rico and I met...

When Johnny was a big war hero and I was still a six.

Bond tour. Ten planets, eight days.

Do you remember turtle bay?

So, dix, how do you know Johnny?

Well, he used to be my boss at tcom.

Standard rotation. Worst year of my life.

Dix saved my ass every day.

Hey, it's hanging time.

Appeals are exhausted. Their families have said goodbye.

All that remains is payment for their crimes against you, citizen.

The senior executive executioner is taking his time.

Sending a message, perhaps.

One for all of us to contemplate this evening.

That our ideas, no matter how pleasing...

Are dangerous.

That there are actions and consequences.

That no one really counts very much...

Unless we are part of something bigger.

There it is, justice.

You'll pay. As god is my witness, you'll pay.

- Back off. - Hold on, hold on, wait, wait.

Hey, fuck off, feddy.

You guys fail to understand a very clear lesson here.

You got something to learn me?

- Come on, dix, let's get out of here. - Colonel rico, if you please.

Yes, sir.

Mps, now. I want them arrested. Everyone. That's an order.
