I believe that this scene was actually improvised between Lawrence and a real military recruiter, to keep the realism of the recruiter's responses. I'm sure that he was told that she has to go away without accepting, but the manner in which it was done was improvised. I'm using the IMDb trivia page as my source - and that page doesn't list its own source, so I can't verify it. Cool bit of trivia if it is true, though.

I just want to clear a few things up, you don't get 40 grand immediately for signing up. It is called the GI Bill and you get it after you have fulfilled your contract, which realistically will be at several years in the future, and provided that you were not dishonorably discharged. Furthermore, the money is only for specific purposes, one being college tuition, you cannot use it for whatever you want. I encourage anyone considering joining the military to do as much research as you can before signing the contract. Don't be fooled by sweet deals on paper with a lot of strings attached. It's a life changing decision, and unless this is what you really want to do, don't sign up. If you've already signed up, then HOOAH! Welcome to the family :)

@qvc1212

+MrMrsJr The signing bonus is paid to the service member's checking account via direct deposit that all members must maintain, typically upon completion job training or in installments. The enlistment contract specifies. But it is a gross generalization to try and say anything like what they do in the movie, or like what you said above, because the background and service record of each specific enlistee varies. One servicemember who elects the bonus may not be eligible for the GI Bill (this happened to me), because of the complicated nature of their record, and the general rule that military will try to screw everyone they can. The character--the recruiter---in this film--doesn't exist. stay away from the military? yeah right. what fuckin' recruiter says that. wish I'd met that one.

I heard Special Forces could get huge sums for re-upping which would make sense given how much the Army spent on their training. need trumps all. Navy must have needed SeaBees.

They did need reservist Seabees. Its a specialist thing in that you really need to know what you are doing as say, an electrician as I was and reservists generally do the trade as a living not as some short term military thing. Being a bad electrician means you die in short order working live stuff or you burn the camp down later not knowing your trade. I am glad to now I got trained super fit warrior money just keeping the power on.

Or you aren't quite as good at judging acting as you think. This Army guy isn't an actor and it looks so natural because he doesn't have to act - this is the exact same thing he'd do in a real recruitment office. This is the exact same way he'd act if Ree was a real person, and there just happened to be cameras filming their conversation.
