[Adrian sees the story about the bombing that he witnessed and he starts taking it to the control room, going past the two censors]

Censor #1:
What do you think you're doing? You know you're forbidden to read anything not checked by this office.

Adrian:
What's there to check? I was there.

Censor #1:
Airman, you know the rules. If this is a legitimate news story, it must go through proper channels.

Adrian:
Listen, Tweedledee, it's an actual event. [referring to the blood on his shirt] What do you think this came from? Shaving? It's the truth. I just want to report the truth. It'll be a nice change of pace.

Sergeant Major Dickerson:
What's going on here?

Adrian:
Sir, will you listen to me?

Sergeant Major Dickerson:
[reads the story] This is not official news, Airman. As far as I'm concerned, it didn't happen.

Adrian:
It did happen.

Sergeant Major Dickerson:
You shut your mouth!

Adrian:
What are you afraid of Dickerson? People might find out there's a war going on?

Sergeant Major Dickerson:
This news is not official.

Adrian:
You want everyone going under the assumption it's perfectly safe here, don'tcha? Well, it's not. The fighting's not just in the hills, it's downtown. It's a couple of f***ing BLOCKS!

Sergeant Major Dickerson:
I SAID IT IS NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS!

Adrian:
I see your point. I'm sorry. I guess I get inside, hit these air conditioners, I get a little dizzy. Thanks for setting me straight.
