G.I. Joe: Retaliation Page #5

Just right around the corner.

(HORN HONKS)

(SHOUTS)

(GRUNTS)

That tingly feeling is amobarbital.

It's a sedative that causes

anterograde amnesia.

In five minutes, you're gonna be asleep.

In another five, you're gonna wake up

with no idea I ever existed.

Notice anything strange

about your boss?

Maybe. Why?

'Cause you're gonna make

a phone call for us. Get us close to him.

But don't worry.

You're gonna forget everything,

so your conscience will be clear.

Why are you doing this?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Make the call.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

JAMES CARVILLE:
El Presidente is on a roll.

His numbers are up.

And I'm not just talking about his age.

(SCATTERED LAUGHTER)

Now, I'm not gonna call

our Commander-in-Chief old.

Actually, he called me the other day

for some advice.

MAN:
- Good evening.

- Good evening.

He wanted to hook up

the nation's nuclear arsenal

to the Clapper.

(ALL LAUGHING)

(APPLAUSE)

I'm sorry, ma'am, you're...

Late, I know.

Imagine the army it takes

to make me look like this.

Forgive me.

That's an army I'd like to enlist in.

Speaking of lists,

would you like to explain

why you're not on ours?

MAN:
Here she is. Chief of Staff.

Enjoy your evening, Miss Vandervoort.

JAYE:
I'm in.

Roger that. Standing by.

Jaye?

You keep your head down. Be safe.

ZARTAN:
Mr Carville was

nice enough to mention

one of my passions.

Nuclear disarmament.

In just days,

the leaders of the world's

eight nuclear nations

will gather at historic Fort Sumter

for a nuclear summit.

But before the Atomic Eight

break bread,

it's our turn.

Thank you, James. Thank you so much.

Mr President.

Amy Vandervoort, Fox News.

Oh, Fox, of course.

That's why you look so

"fair and balanced."

(BOTH LAUGH)

Very cute.

But I was actually hoping to have a...

Dance?

- I was going to say, quote.

- Ah.

Okay, here's a quote.

The world will change

after my nuclear summit.

How about we dance?

JAYE:
I really, I don't dance.

Sorry.

Thank you, Mr President.

You gave me what I need.

But I really have to make my deadline.

- It's been a pleasure.

(LAUGHS) - Thank you.

How are you?

Good, sir.

JAYE:
I got a strand of hair

from his jacket. I hope it's enough.

Come on.

FLINT:
Copy that.

Standing by for I.D.

All units, setting condition orange.

Stand by.

ZARTAN:
I don't take no for an answer.

Almost there.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Zartan?

Jaye, get out of there now.

Oh, my God.

We have an unauthorised I.D.

She's a Joe.

We have a Joe on the premises.

Jaye.

Jaye, now.

I'm out.

Plan B, rendezvous Bravo.

Negative.

Proceed to rendezvous Charlie.

Charlie.

What's that supposed to mean?

Sorry, Jaye.

I got it from here.

Don't.

We have proof.

We're taking it to Joe Colton.

You planned this all along.

Block, stand down.

We ain't lawyers. We're soldiers.

I told you I was gonna

find the man who did this.

I was gonna kill him.

No! That's... No. Negative!

Block. Block.

Damn it!

One in the chamber.

Block? Block, where are you?

(GRUNTS)

(TYRES SQUEAL)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

I want to see that face.

(GROANING)

The one where you realise

today's the day.

It's the face all those pretty little Joes

had in the desert

when I lit them all up like fireworks!

(GRUNTS)

I really want to see that face.

There it is.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(GASPING)

BLIND MASTER:
If Cobra and Zartan

are in the White House,

then the world is at stake.

Storm Shadow.

You will tell us Cobra's endgame,

or die

by the same sword you once

used to kill our master.

Your sword,

given to you

by our beloved Hard Master.

Do you deny that your envy and hatred

drove you to shed

the Hard Master's blood?

STORM SHADOW:
It's possible

to feel so much hate

you stop feeling it at all.

Like a fish not knowing it's in water.

But my path was chosen for me

by my enemy

who framed me

for killing the Hard Master.

And my friends

who believed it.

Why defend yourself to men

too blind to see?

That is the Hard Master's blood.

But that is not...

(YELLS)

Wait!

...my sword.

Arashikage steel does not break.

I have asked myself over and over

who despised me enough

to destroy my life?

BLIND MASTER:
I am sorry,

Storm Shadow.

But who would stand to gain the most

by framing you for this crime?

Your young adversary

who chased you away?

Or the man into whose arms

you were chased.

Someone who welcomed you,

showed you kindness.

STORM SHADOW:
He needed me.

For who I would become.

A warrior of great skill and anger.

The man who betrayed me

was capable of great ingenuity,

violence,

but most of all,

disguise.

Zartan.

BLIND MASTER:
Yes.

Tell us what he and Cobra have planned

so we can destroy our common enemy

together.

Try to hold still.

(DOOR OPENING)

You want to remind me how knuckles

are supposed to strike again?

Together.

Those were your words.

- I had a shot and I took it.

- Now, don't give me that!

You went rogue.

And I'd do it again.

Yeah? And what was

your big plan, then, huh?

You get yourself killed?

Jesus Christ. I listened to everything

you said over and over again.

I never questioned...

I wasn't going to bury any more Joes.

I've got guns to clean.

Hey.

Help me out here?

Thanks.

If my dad could see me now...

What are you talking about?

He wouldn't believe it.

Why?

Third generation military.

Desperately wanted a fourth, and

my mom had me.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Well, he must be

real proud of you, then.

JAYE:
He didn't believe

in female soldiers.

I finally asked him why. He said

he didn't want to put his life

in the hands of a woman.

I enlisted the next day.

Spent the next seven years

trying to outrank him

so he'd have to salute me.

Did it work?

He died before I got the chance.

I'm sorry.

I'm actually gonna miss the red.

You look real nice.

Hey. I said we got guns to clean.

The world ain't saving itself.

That was for the tax hike.

Like you pay taxes.

Ain't always about me.

ZARTAN:
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

We still need the man.

Besides, we've grown close.

Is Storm Shadow in?

Don't you worry about him.

He'll be more than ready.

I'm not too impressed with your Cabinet.

(CHUCKLING) No confirmation

hearings, that's what you get.

COBRA COMMANDER:
Enough!

I'll take it from here.

He who controls this briefcase,

controls the U.S. nuclear arsenal

and the fate of humanity.

Open your eyes, Mr Ex-President.

FIREFLY:
The eyes are

the windows to the soul.
