Big John then asked Joe and Silvia if they really thought they could stop the Gedow invasion on their own. He snarled that they were pond scum against his platoon and Joe replied that if he thought he was elite, he should try dating Silvia. Silvia angrily pulled out one of her guns and asked what he meant by that and Big John, seeing her produce a weapon, yelled into his walkie-talkie for backup. The Drill Sergeant said it was time to end this and yelled at Joe and Silvia that his platoon would blow them to smithereens. However, Big John realized they weren’t paying attention to him, having gotten into a fight over Joe’s comment. He yelled at them to listen to him and Big John fighting JoeAdded by MajinAburaSilvia told the Drill Sergeant to brace himself, since she was going to show him what elite really meant.
