Find the mistakes.  There are several mistakes in the script below.  How many can you find?

                                     WILL
                (00:57)  Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody
                         puts a code on my desk, something
                         nobody else can break. So I take a
                         shot at it and maybe I break it. And
                         I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I
                         did my job well.  But maybe that
                         code was the location of some rebel
                         army in North Africa or the Middle
                         East. Once they have that location,
                         they bomb the village where the rebels
                         were hiding and fifteen hundred people
                         I never had a problem with get killed.
                         (rapid fire) Now the politicians are
                         sayin' "send in the Marines to secure
                         the area" 'cause they don't give a
                         shit. It won't be their kid over
                         there, gettin' shot. Just like it
                         wasn't them when their number got
                         called, 'cause they were pullin' a
                         tour in the National Guard. It'll be
                         some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel
                         in the ass.  And he comes home to
                         find that the plant he used to work
                         at got exported to the country he
                         just got back from. And the guy who
                         put the shrapnel in his ass got his
                         old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen
                         cents a day and no bathroom breaks.
                         Meanwhile my buddy from Southie
                         realizes the only reason he was over
                         there was so we could install a
                         government that would sell us oil at
                         a good price. And of course the oil
                         companies used the skirmish to scare
                         up oil prices so they could turn a
                         quick buck. A cute, little ancillary
                         benefit for them but it ain't helping
                         my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And
                         naturally they're takin' their sweet
                         time bringin' the oil back and maybe
                         even took the liberty of hiring an
                         alcoholic skipper who likes to drink
                         seven and sevens and play slalom
                         with the icebergs and it ain't too
                         long 'til he hits one, spills the
                         oil, and kills all the sea-life in
                         the North Atlantic. So my buddy's
                         out of work and he can't afford to
                         drive so he's got to walk to the job
                         interviews which sucks 'cause the
                         shrapnel in his ass is givin' him
                         chronic hemorrhoids.  And meanwhile
                         he's starvin' 'cause every time he
                         tries to get a bite to eat the only
                         blue-plate special they're servin'
                         is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker
                         State.

                        
                         So what I think?  I'm holdin' out
                         for somethin' better. I figure I'll
                         eliminate the middle man. Why not
                         just shoot my buddy, take his job
                         and give it to his sworn enemy, hike
                         up gas prices, bomb a village, club
                         a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and
                         join the National Guard? Christ, I
                         could be elected President. (2:39)
