FIRST SERGEANT

Come in .....come in.

THE DOOR OPENS AND PFC WINTERS ENTERS, DRESSED IN HIS BDU CLOTHES,

WALKS TO THE DESK AND ASSUMES A PARADE REST STANCE.

PFC Joseph Winters, reporting as ordered, First Sergeant.

FIRST SERGEANT

At ease, PFC Winters.

Have a seat.

PFC WINTERS NODS, AND SITS IN THE DESIGNATED CHAIR BY THE DESK.

WINTERS

Thank you, First Sergeant.

FIRST SERGEANT

(Picks up the paper he's writing)

Relax.

You're my 25P.

I've got a little job for you to do.

WINTERS

(obviously less tense, now)

Great, sir..I mean, First Sergeant...Film or video?

FIRST SERGEANT

Film.

The colonel needs some new opening footage shot for the

"Welcome to Fort Halliday" visitor's briefing.

THE FIRST SERGEANT RISES AND WALKS TO THE WINDOW.

HE BECKONS PFC

WINTERS TO FOLLOW HIM. THEN HE POINTS OUTSIDE.

FIRST SERGEANT

Somewhere over there on the parade ground.

The first camera

man's work was too flat and dark.

Try to pick a good vantage

point, and with people going in and coming out of the main door.

Got it?
