Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Page #8
- the pride of the United States...
- Like lambs to the slaughter.
I f***in' knew it, man.
The intrepid young soldiers of Bravo!
Ooh
Can you make me
Lose my breath?
Baby, make me
Lose my breath
Beyonc!
Damn, this make me
Lose.
Make me lose my breath
Hit me!
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Kelly, Michelle and Beyonce,
the hit singing sensation,
Destiny's Child!
Can you keep UP?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath
Ooh
I put it right there
Made it easy for you to get to
- Whoa!
- F***! F***, man!
It's okay. Keep going! Come on.
Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Get the f*** off me!
I'm sorry, man. Just trying to help.
It's just fireworks, dude! It's cool!
Hey, man, this is all kinds of f***ed up.
- Twelve o'clock, what do you see'?
- Shadows...
Beyonc. Destiny's f***ing Child, dude,
right in front of you.
Ignore all the other sh*t.
Keep your eyes focused
on the good stuff, all right?
Let's go! Let's go!
Can you keep UP?
- Baby boy, make me lose my breath
- Out of the way, please! Out of the way!
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Ooh
- Come on.
- Two things I don't like
When I'm trying to get my groove
What the hell is going on?
Come on, let's stick together!
- Sykes, are you all right?
- I'm fine, Sergeant.
There you are!
Okay, that was kind of hairy,
but you guys made it.
Now, when this screen flies up,
I want you guys to step out
and march down the stairs.
And for you, you have an extra cue.
You know "Soldier"?
The song Soldier.
In the first bridge where they sing,
"They wanna spend that on me,"
that's your signal to move
to your special mark downstage.
Now, here's the important part.
Once y'all hit your marks,
you have to stay absolutely still
until the show's over
no matter what is going on around you.
Think you can manage?
All right, let's get you
in a nice straight line.
- Straight line.
- On your marks.
Come on, come on...
What the f*** did she just say?
I Want a soldier

Okay, let's go!
Down to that rock pile
and through the gate!

Lynn, Foo, when we get to that pile,
throw everything you got on that gate!
Dime, you and Crack
start working your way to the wounded!
- Mango!
- Hooah!
It's going down.
What?
I'm going down.
Sh*t!
Damn it, where the f*** did that come from?

Goddamn it, Lynn! Cover him!
Hang in there, Sergeant.
Medic!
Billy.
Hey, Billy.
Halftime show's over.
Dude, we finally saw Beyonc.
Yeah, well, ain't we f***in' special.
Sergeant, I feel bad.
That was some kind of f***ed-up sh*t.
Just another normal day in America, Billy.
We strike the set in nine minutes.
You guys have to go.
F*** off.
Hey. I told you get the hell off my stage.
- Dude, don't touch me.
- Come on.
I don't give a f*** where you go.
You can't stay here.
Second half starts in nine minutes.
All right, Rufus, I'll tell you what.
We'll go right after
you're done sucking my dick.
How about...
- What the f***, man?
- Stand down!
F*** off!
- Hey, break it up!
- What the hell is going' on?
F***ers didn't move when I asked them to.
We got f***ing work to do!
I suggest you get back to it. Now.
- F*** is wrong with you?
- We're good.
I'm frankly astonished
to see our military behaving...
Sir!
Excuse me, sir.
That is so not the way we treat our guests.
These are American heroes,
here at the personal invitation
of Mr. Norman Oglesby.
We'll take charge now, thank you very much.
Come on, guys.
- Nice work, dude.
- Hey, girl.
- Hi.
- Hey, fellas.
- You're my best friend.
- Hi, there.
- Hi.
I can't believe
they just left y'all stranded there.
And what happened to your nice uniforms?
Stage manager said we should look
more "battle-ready" for halftime.
Well, ready or not,
you still look pretty darn cute.
Really?
And you looked great.
you were doing earlier.
- Come on.
- What's wrong with him?
Sykes is kind of an emotional guy.
He just misses his wife and kids.
Sheesh.
The sacrifices you guys make.
Sometimes I wonder if we really deserve
what y'all are doing for us.
I mean, before I met you,
I'd be worried about
