Murphy hold most of them.

The two men start to stretch in silence.

Luttrell wanders in. A giant bowl of cereal.

LUTTRELL:

Since when does she want an Arabic

horse?

MURPHY:

Since I got an email this morning.

Probably saw it on Oprah.

LUTTRELL:

Oprah rides Arabic horses?

MURPHY:

I don’t know what Oprah does.

LUTTRELL:

She can afford them.

MURPHY:

Why? How much do they cost?

LUTTRELL:

I don’t know. Oprah money.

MURPHY:

F***.

LUTTRELL:

I thought you guys were doing this

tomorrow.

Murphy and Dietz strap on Body Armor.

LUTTRELL (CONT’D)

Maybe I’m starting to become tele

f***ing pathic - non-verbal yoda or

something. I could swear I just

said outloud, that I thought this

was happening tomorrow.

Murphy stretching.

MURPHY:

I think Red Wings a go. Tonight.

LUTTRELL:

Oh.

(beat)

Outstanding.

SHANE PATTON wanders in.

They’re going at it now?

SHANE PATTON:

HEALY:

No idea

LUTTRELL:

I don’t know.

SHANE PATTON:

You know.

LUTTRELL:

If I say I don’t know. I don’t

know.

SHANE PATTON:

You know.

LUTTRELL:

If you go you’ll go. If you don’t

go, trust me you will go.

Eventually. Comprende?

SHANE PATTON:

So, I’m not going?

LUTTRELL:

I didn’t say that.

SHANE PATTON:

You said if you don’t go, you will

eventually go.

LUTTRELL:

Yea, that’s not saying your not

going.

feet coming back to Ouellette iron wall. Murphy throws open

the gate, runs inside.

Dietz a second behind.

Luttrell looks at his watch.

LUTTRELL:

Murphy by 1.1.

Exhausted Dietz and Murphy sit in the dirt.

LUTTRELL (CONT’D)

Head shave?

DIETZ:

F***.

Axe walks up, shorts and flip flops.

AXE:

Who won?

LUTTRELL:

Murphy. Barely.

AXE:

Head shave?

Dietz looks pained.

MURPHY:

Man...I got to think this one out.

If I shave his head, I’m going to

have to look at him. Really look at

him. Ears, face, funny shaped

head...I don’t know. Marcus? What

do you think?

LUTTRELL:

I don’t know boss...I don’t want to

be looking at him that close

either, but he has been running his

mouth about beating you...a lot.

Head shave is fair.

MURPHY:

Axe?

12.

AXE:

Hell yea, I say shave him, and he

can’t eat with us, make him eat

with E3 Marines until it grows

back. Shave the boy.

MURPHY:

Shane?

SHANE PATTON:

Well, I could go both ways on this.

He did lose but, he was close and

you’re Mike Murphy and I would have

expected a much bigger separation.

Plus, we’re at war and there’s the

whole Samson thing, so I’m not

sure. I’ll plead the fifth on this

one.

Murphy looks stares at Shane.

SHANE PATTON (CONT’D)

But you’re the boss, boss. So I’m

with you. I’ll shave his head, wax

his balls if you give me the order.

Sir, I’ll wax my own balls if you

take me on Red Wings.

Murphy shakes his head at Patton, looks over to Dietz.

DANNY:

Come on Mike.

MURPHY:

Yea Danny this is probably not

gonna go your way. Shane, get my

razor.

SHANE PATTON:

Getting razor, copy that.
