and take positions behind the low wall.

to wave the rest of the

door and window in the direction of the shot.
COWBOY:
Okay, cease fire! Cease fire, goddamn it!
Some of the squad keep
firing.
COWBOY:
Cool it, goddamn it! Cool it! Cease
fire!
AdLibs of "Cease fire!"

No!
DONLON:
Nothing!
RAFTERMAN:
Negative!
T.H.E. ROCK
Nothing!
Adlibs of "No!"
COWBOY:
Okay, then save your ammo! Nobody fire till I
tell you!
Seen, in
slow, motion, the SNIPER fires again and hits
EIGHTBALL in the arm. He
screams in pain.
The squad opens fire at buildings facing them.
COWBOY:
No, no! Cease fire! Cease fire! Animal, cease
fire!
Keeping low, DONLON comes up and hands COWBOY
the radio.
DONLON:
Cowboy, it's Sergeant Murphy.
COWBOY:
(into radio)
This is Cowboy. Over.
MURPHY:
(o.s.)
This is Murphy. What is your present
position? Over.
COWBOY:
Murph, we're receiving enemy sniper fire.
Eightball is
down. Our position is about half
a klick north of checkpoint four.
Believe possible
strong enemy force occupying buildings
in
front of us. Request immediate tank
support. Over.
MURPHY:
(o.s.)
Roger. Understand. I'll see what I can do.
Over.
COWBOY:
Roger. Over and out.
COWBOY:
(to Donlon)
Stay close.
DONLON:
Got it.
COWBOY:
thinks hard for a few seconds.
COWBOY:
(to squad)
Okay, listen up! I think we're being set up
for an ambush. I think
there may be strong
enemy forces in those buildings over there.
I've requested tank support. We're gonna sit
tight until it comes,
but keep your eyes open.
If they decide to hit us, we'll have to
pull
back fast.
The SNIPER fires, wounding EIGHTBALL again, this
time in the foot. He shrieks in agony.
COWBOY:
Goddamn it! Hold! Cease your fire, Mother!
Cease your
f***ing fire!
The firing stops.
DOC JAY:
Cowboy!
COWBOY:
What?
DOC JAY:
We can't leave him out there!
COWBOY:
We're not leaving him! We'll get him when the
tank comes
up.
DOC JAY:
He's hit three f***ing times! He can't wait
that long!
COWBOY:
I've seen this before! That sniper's
just trying
to suck us in one at a time!
hits EIGHTBALL in the thigh.
His cries echo across the open space
ground.
COWBOY:
(shouting)
Goddamn it! No!
COWBOY:
Goddamn it, cease fire!
ANIMAL MOTHER:
He's out there alone!
COWBOY:
Cease
fire!
The firing stops.
DOC JAY:
Man, f*** this, f***
this sh*t! I'm going out to
bring him in!
COWBOY:
No! You stay the f*** down!
DOC JAY:
Cover me!
DOC:

across the open
ground.
