Rescue Dawn Page #6

You idiots!

You almost killed me!

(SOBBING)

I dreamed there was a fire.

Why did they think a whole damn village

would be burning?

How could we be Vietcong?

Now they must've heard us.

They must've seen this.

The Vietcong will be on their way.

They could be here any moment.

Let's leave here.

Dieter.

My feet are cold.

(MAN SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

I'm cold.

My feet are cold.

You can have the sole.

Duane?

(DIETER SHOUTING)

Hey, you!

I'm here!

Please turn around.

Hey!

Don't leave. Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Don't go away.

Don't go away.

Hey!

Oh, come on!

Oh, please!

Come on!

Okay. Hey!

Over here! Over here!

Help me!

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on down. Yeah, come on.

They're coming.

Yes! Yes, please!

See me!

Yes!

MAN:
Who are you, buddy?

Name?

Flight Lieutenant Dieter Dengler,

U.S.S. Ranger.

Authenticator?

- What's your authenticator?

- Rescue Dawn.

- Rescue Dawn.

- Louder!

Rescue Dawn!

- Favorite sport?

- Hunting.

Favorite fish?

Trout.

Confirmed. Confirmed. It's him!

I can't believe it.

Jesus, buddy,

you made it out of the bush.

Bring him home!

He's coming home with us.

- Oh, sh*t!

- Going home.

All right.

Way to go, buddy.

MAN:
Easy, easy, easy.

Hold up here, hold up here.

Hey, everyone listen to me.

- We're in charge here.

- Back up. Back up.

This man has been on

a highly classified operation. Hold.

No one is to see him. No one is

to touch him. No one is to talk to him.

AGENT 2:
Get him inside.

AGENT 1:
You'll forget what you've seen.

AGENT 1:
In fact, from now on,

it's a black operation. Is that clear?

You got me on that?

AGENT 2:
Back up. Back up.

AGENT 1:
Stand back.

All right. Let's go.

NURSE:
You're doing great, Dieter.

You don't need this anymore.

(WHISPERING)

Hey, when can I go back to my ship?

I don't know.

Okay, go, go, go, go, go.

You guys are a lot of fun.

You know, how many times I have to

tell you? I don't know the coordinates.

Let's go back to the guards.

Tell me about their uniforms.

There were some with red stars,

maybe they're Vietcong.

The others were Laotians...

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Dieter!

There's my buddies.

- Happy birthday.

- That's my buddies.

You made it.

It's good to see you, Spook.

Dieter.

Norman. Oh, my God.

Gentlemen, can you give us

a couple of minutes alone, please?

It should be all right.

I got a little letter from his fiance.

It's kind of personal.

You know what I mean?

Keep it personal, Lieutenant.

We're in the middle of

a highly classified debriefing.

Will do. It's from his old lady.

- Ten minutes.

- Okay.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Hey, Spook, what's with the birthday...

It's not my birthday.

Dieter, those two CIA dudes wanna take

you back to Guam for debriefing.

You don't wanna do that, do you?

I didn't think so.

Hey, hold on, guys.

Hey, guys, he's a bit choked up in there.

You mind giving him just a couple of

minutes to sort of pull himself together?

Yeah, it should be fine.

We'll give it a few minutes.

- He's a good kid, huh?

- Yeah.

- Thanks, guys.

- Yup.

MAN:
... Right, left.

Left, left, left, right, left.

Come on, now.

Hurry up. Come on, get him in.

Get him in now, fast!

Get inside.

(WHOOPING) It's my day!

What are we doing?

DIETER:
Hey.

SPOOK:
What?

DIETER:
Where is everybody?

- Where?

- Right here.

Why the decks... They're empty.

Have they gone home?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

They're on vacation.

Is the war over?

No.

DIETER:
You know I'm in a lot of trouble.

Boys, here he is.

They kidnapped him,

they brought him here to us.

The CIA held him for four days

but they can't hang onto him forever!

Dieter Dengler!

All right, all right. Hold on.

Hold on a second.

Boys, listen up for a second.

Admiral Willoughby's

got something to say.

Lieutenant Dengler.

Good to have you back.

- Thank you.

- All right. That's not all.

There's more! Hold on, fellows.

Hold on, hold on!

So, let's start with the man himself.

Dieter, it is just incredible

you made it home.

Now, tell us, was it your faith

in God and country?

Come on, Dieter,

you got to believe in something.

I believe I need a steak.

A steak! This guy needs a steak!

We're grilling up a big old cow for you.

All right. Hey, listen up. Hang on.

Can you pass something on to the boys?

You know, something you learned

during your ordeal,

something to keep them going

no matter how bad it gets?

Sure I can.

Empty what is full.

Fill what is empty.

Scratch where it itches. That's it.

Now look at these boys ' faces.

Do they love you, man!

Do they love you!
