You’re jonesing hard to go out to the bar but you haven’t heard my speech. The barracks in isolation is where you’re gonna be if you don’t listen to me, so sit your ass back down. Better shut your mouth, listen to me now: Don’t drive wreckless and don’t drive drunk. Just behave now or your career is sunk. Go out, get laid, but first be warned before you score...

If you go, if you go to a strip club don’t come home with a whore, with a whore, turn away and slam the door. I don’t care what you’re going to say, she just wants your cash, the gal never cared for you anyway.
