Adlibs.
COWBOY:
We shoot 'em full of holes and fill 'em full of
lead.
Adlibs of
"Yeah!" etc.
A big grunt, ANIMAL MOTHER, approaches JOKER.
Trouble.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
Are you a photographer?
JOKER:
No ...
I'm a combat correspondent.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
(smiles)
Oh, you seen much combat?
JOKER returns the smile.
JOKER:
Well, I've seen a little on TV.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
You're a real comedian.
Some more laughs.
JOKER:
(pause)
Well, they call me the JOKER.
Adlibs.
"Oooooooooo!" and laughter.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
(moves
closer)
Well, I got a joke for you. I'm gonna tear you
a new
a**hole.
Adlibs, laughter.
JOKER:
(John. Wayne
voice)
Well, pilgrim ... only after you ... eat the
peanuts out
of my sh*t!
Loud laughs and shouts.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
(moves in close)
You talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?
Anticipatory adlibs of "Ooooh!" and "Whoooa!"
EIGHTBALL, a black
grunt, gets up and steps between
JOKER and ANIMAL MOTHER.
EIGHTBALL:
(to JOKER)
Now you might not believe it but
under fire
Animal Mother is one of the finest human
beings in
the world.
Laughter.
EIGHTBALL:
All he needs is
somebody to throw hand
grenades at him the rest of his life.
Laughter.
EIGHTBALL leads ANIMAL MOTHER away.
COWBOY:
(laughing)
Come on, sit down. Come on, new guy.
EIGHTBALL and
ANIMAL MOTHER sit down together.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
Hey,
jungle bunny. Thank God for the sickle
cell, huh?
EIGHTBALL:
Yeah, mother.
CRAZY EARL sits on the ground next to a
figure
sprawled in a chair.
CRAZY EARL:
Hey ...
photographer! You want to take a
good picture? Here, man ... take
this. This
... is my bro.
CRAZY EARL lifts the hat which has
been, covering
the man's face. We see he is a dead N.V.A. soldier.
Laughter.
CRAZY EARL:
This is his party. He's the guest
of honor.
Today ... is his birthday.
Adlibs:
"Happy Birthday,zipperhead!" etc.
CRAZY EARL:
day. The day I came
to Hue City and fought one million N.V.A.
gooks. I love the little Commie bastards, man,
I really do. These
enemy grunts are as hard
as slant-eyed drill instructors. These are
great days we're living, bros!'We are jolly
green giants, walking
the earth with guns.
These people we wasted here today ... are
the finest human beings we will ever know.
After we rotate back to
the world, we're gonna
miss not having anyone around that's worth
shooting.
69 EXT. A FIELD, OUTSKIRTS HUE CITY--DAY
COWBOY's platoon,
advancing towards the city in a

LIEUTENANT TOUCHDOWN is hit and goes down.
cover.
DOC JAY crawls to him and starts mouth-to-mouth.
SERGEANT:
MURPHY crawls up, has a look, moves to
the back of the tank and picks
up a field radio.
MURPHY:
Delta Six Actual, this is Murphy. Over. Delta
Six Actual, this is
Murphy. Over.
DELTA SIX:
(o.s.)
Delta Six.
MURPHY:
Delta Six, we are receiving incoming fire from
the
ville. The Lieutenant is down. We're going
to stop here and check
out what's in front of
us. Over.
CRAZY EARL, keeping low,
scrambles up to the
LUSTHOG SQUAD.
CRAZY EARL:
Okay.
Lusthog Squad, listen up! We're gonna
and check the
ville. I want the third team up this road here.
First and second fire team behind me up this
other road, okay?
Adlibs of "Right!" and "Okay!"
CRAZY EARL:
Let's go!
Let's get it done!
Bending low the squad moves out past the tanks,
leapfrogging toward some ruined buildings a couple
front of them.
HAND JOB peers cautiously around the corner of a
house and is killed instantly by a burst of
automatic fire.
ANIMAL:
MOTHER opens fire with his M-60 machine
shots came from.
Everyone opens fire, blasting chunks out of the
building with a zillion rounds.
T.H.E. ROCK fires an M-79 grenade,
blowing out a
window.
RAFTERMAN photographs the action, his Nikon
violently shaking.
The fire slackens.
Then it gets quiet.
All
their senses alert, everyone watches the
building, listening hard.
They reload.
As CRAZY EARL reloads he spots six V.C. dashing
across
the street fifty yards away. They are out of
sight in a second.
Having missed his first chance, CRAZY EARL gets
set hoping for another.
Two more V.C. rush out into the open. He fires a
long burst from his
M-16 and they both go down.
CRAZY EARL turns to the squad with a big
grin.
Music:
"Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen. This carriesover
through the next scene.
70 EXT. LOW WALL--DAY
The platoon are
hunched down behind a low wall.
Tanks fire at some distant buildings. A
three-man
TV crew, ducking low, moves past them, filming.
JOKER:
(John Wayne voice)
Is that you, John Wayne? Is
this me?
COWBOY:
Hey, start the cameras. This is
"Vietnam-the
Movie!"
EIGHTBALL:
Yeah, Joker can
be John Wayne. I'll be a
horse!
DONLON:
T.H.E. Rock
can be a rock!
T.H.E. ROCK
I'll be Ann-Margret!
DOC JAY:
Animal Mother can be a rabid buffalo!
CRAZY:
EARL:
I'll be General Custer!
RAFTERMAN:
Well,
who'll be the Indians?
ANIMAL MOTHER:
Hey, we'll let the
gooks play the Indians!
Laughter.
The bodies of LIEUTENANT TOUCHDOWN and HAND
JOB laid out on ground
sheets. The LUSTHOG SQUAD
are gathered around them. The camera moves to
each man, pausing for them to speak.
T.H.E. ROCK
You're
going home now.
Camera move.
CRAZY EARL:
Semper fi.
Camera move.
DONLON:
We're mean marines, sir.
Camera
move.
EIGHTBALL:
Go easy, bros.
Camera move.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
Better you than me.
RAFTERMAN:
Well,
at least they died for a good cause.
ANIMAL MOTHER:
What
cause was that?
RAFTERMAN:
Freedom.
ANIMAL:
MOTHER:
Flush out your head gear, new guy. You think
we waste
gooks for freedom? This is a
slaughter. If I'm gonna get my balls
blown off
for a word ... my word is "poontang."
COWBOY:
Tough break for Hand Job. He was all set to
get shipped out on a
medical.
JOKER:
What was the matter with him?
COWBOY:
He was jerkin' off ten times a day.
EIGHTBALL:
It's no sh*t. At least ten times a day.
COWBOY:
Last
week he was sent down to Da Nang to
see the Navy head shrinker, and
the crazy
f***er starts jerking off in the waiting room.
Instant Section Eight. He was just waiting for
his papers to clear
division.
