JOKER:
(trembling)
Easy, Leonard. Go easy, man.
PYLE breathes heavily, and Keeps the
rifle aimed at
JOKER.
JOKER is scared shitless.
PYLE looks at
JOKER for several seconds and slowly
lowers the rifle. Then he stumbles
back a few steps
and sits down, heavily on the toilet.
PYLE turns
away from JOKER and stares into space,
transforming his face.
He places the muzzle of the rifle in his mouth.
JOKER:
No!!!
BANG!
PYLE pulls the trigger and blows the back of
his
head over the white tiled wall behind him.
FADE IN:
51 EXT. DA NANG STREET, VIETNAM--DAY
Motorcycles, cars,
Vietnamese civilians. Swinging
her hips ruith exaggerated sexiness, an
attractive
HOOKER in a mini-skirt walks toward a cafe' table
on the
pavement ulhere JOKER and RAFTERMAN are
seated.
Music:
NancySinatra's "These Boots Are Made
for Walking."
The girl stops at
JOKER's table.
HOOKER:
Hey, baby, you got girlfriend
Vietnam?
JOKER:
Not just this minute.
HOOKER:
Well, baby, me so horny. Me so horny. Me
love you long
time. You party?
JOKER:
Yeah, we might party. How much?
HOOKER:
Fifteen dolla.
JOKER:
Fifteen dollars for
both of us?
HOOKER:
No. Each you fifteen dolla. Me love
you long
time. Me so horny.
JOKER:
Fifteen dollar
too boo-coo. Five dollars each.
HOOKER:
Me
suckee-suckee. Me love you too much.
JOKER:
Five dollars
is all my mom allows me to
spend.
HOOKER:
Okay! Ten
dolla each.
JOKER:
What do we get for ten dollars?
HOOKER:
Everything you want.
JOKER:
Everything?
HOOKER:
Everything.
JOKER:
Well, old buddy, feel
like spending some of
your hard-earned money?
RAFTERMAN:
Just a minute.
RAFTERMAN raises his Nikon and starts
photographing
JOKER and the HOOKER.
The girl strikes quick poses for the camera and
coughs.
JOKER puts his arm around her.
JOKER:
You
know, half these gook whores are serving
officers in the Viet Cong.
The girl coughs again.
JOKER:
The other half have got
T.B. Make sure you
only f*** the ones that cough.
A young
vietnamese boy walks up behind
RAFTERMAN and grabs the Nikon camera
from his
hands.
The boy runs to an accomplice sitting on a waiting
motorbike and tosses the camera to him. Then in
mockery the BOY
excecutes a few, Bruce Lee moves
before jumping on the bike and zooming
off:
JOKER laughs.
DISSOLVE TO:
52 EXT. U.S. MARINE BASE--DAY
The main gates of the base. High-security fencing.
Tanks, jeeps,
trucks. A military helicopter lands.
DISSOLVE TO:
53 EXT. DA NANG
BASE--DAY
JOKER and RAFTERMAN walk down the base street
past rows of
hootches and other buildings. In the
background some marines play
basketball.
JOKER:
That little sucker really had some
moves on
him, didn't he?
RAFTERMAN:
Yeah ... You
know what really pisses me off
about these people?
JOKER:
What?
RAFTERMAN:
We're supposed to be
helping them and they
sh*t all over us every chance they get ... I
just can't feature that.
JOKER:
Don't take it too hard,
Rafterman. It's just
business.
RAFTERMAN:
I hate Da
Nang, Joker. I want to go out into
the field. I've been in this
country almost
three months, and all I do is take handshake
shots at awards ceremonies.
JOKER:
You get wasted your
first day in the field and
it'd be my fault.
RAFTERMAN:
A high school girl could do my job. I want to
get out into the sh*t.
I want to get some
trigger time.
JOKER:
If you get
killed, your mom will find me after
I rotate back to the world and
she'll beat the
sh*t out of me. That's a negative, Rafterman.
54
INT. SEA-TIGER HUT--DAY
A Quonset hut. An editorial meeting of The Sea
Tiger, the official marine newspaper, is in progress
presided over by
LIEUTENANT LOCKHART.
JOKER, RAFTERMAN, and six other marine
correspondens are seated around a large messy
table covered with
cameras, photographs,
newspapers artd magazines.
LOCKHART:
Okay, guys, let's keep it short and sweet
today. Anybody got
anything new?
JOKER:
There's a rumor going around that
the Tet
ceasefire is gonna be cancelled.
LOCKHART:
Rear-echelon paranoia.
JOKER:
A bro in Intelligence says
Charlie might try to
pull off something big during the Tet holiday.
LOCKHART:
They say the same thing every year.
JOKER:
There's a lot of talk about it, sir.
LOCKHART:
I:
wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The Tet
holiday's like the Fourth
of July, Christmas
and New Year all rolled into one. Every
zipperhead in Nam, North and South, will be
banging gongs, barking
at the moon and
visiting his dead relatives.
LOCKHART:
All right ...Ann-Margret and entourage are
due here next week. I
want someone to be
there on the airfield and stick with her for a
couple of days. Uh, Rafterman, you take it.
RAFTERMAN:
Aye-aye, sir.
LOCKHART:
Get me some good low-angle
stuff. Don't make
it too obvious, but I want to see fur and early
morning dew.
RAFTERMAN:
Yes, sir.
LOCKHART:
(reading)
"Diplomats in Dungarees--Marine engineers
lend a
helping hand rebuilding Dong Phuc
villages . . ." Chili, if we move
Vietnamese,
they are evacuees. If they come to us to be
evacuated, they are refugees.
CHILI:
I'll make a note of
it, sir.
LOCKHART:
(reading)
"N.V.A. Soldier
Deserts After Reading
Pamphlets --A young North Vietnamese Army
regular, who realized his side could not win
the war, deserted from
his unit after reading
Open Arms program pamphlets." That's good,
Dave. But why say North Vietnamese Army
regular? Is there an
irregular? How about
North Vietnamese Army soldier?
DAVE:
I'll fix it up, sir.
LOCKHART:
Lawrence Welk
two weeks. Dave, do a hundred words on
it.
AFTV'll give you some background stuff.
DAVE:
Yes, sir.
LOCKHART:
(reading)
"Not While
We're Eating--N.V.A. learn
marines on a search and destroy mission
don't
like to be interrupted while eating chow."
Search and
destroy. Uh, we have a new
directive from M.A.F. on this. In the
future, in
place of"search and destroy," substitute the
phrase
"sweep and clear." Got it?
JOKER:
Got it. Very catchy.
LOCKHART:
And, Joker ... where's the weenie?
JOKER:
Sir!
LOCKHART:
The Kill, JOKER. The kill. I mean, all
that fire,
the grunts must've hit something.
JOKER:
Didn't see 'em.
LOCKHART:
Joker, I've told you, we run
two basic stories
here. Grunts who give half their pay to buy
gooks toothbrushes and deodorants--Winning
of Hearts and
Minds--okay? And combat
action that results in a kill--Winning the
War.
Now you must have seen blood trails ... drag
marks?
JOKER:
It was raining, sir.
LOCKHART:
Well, that's
why God passed the law of
probability. Now rewrite it and give it a
happy
ending--say, uh, one kill. Make it a sapper or
