A Few Good Men Page #4

LAWRENCE:

She's a hall of an investigator,

Jerry --

GIBBS:

In Internal Affairs, sure. She can

crawl up a lawyer's ass with the

best of 'em, but when it comes to

trial work --

WEST:

I know. All passion, no street smarts.

Bring her back in.

LAWRENCE goes to the door and motions for JO to come back

in.

WEST:

(continuing)

Commander, we're gonna move the

defendants up here in the morning.

JO:

Thank you, sir.

WEST:

And I'll have Division assign them

counsel...

JO:

(beat)

But... not me.

WEST:

From what I understand from your

colleagues, you're much too valuable

in your present assignment to be

wasted on what I'm sure will boil

down to a five minute plea bargain

and a week's worth of paper work.

JO:

Sir --

WEST:

Don't worry about it. I promise you,

division'll assign the right man for

the job.

CUT TO:

EXT. SOFTBALL FIELD - DAY

THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB

His name is LIEUTENANT JUNIOR GRADE DANIEL ALLISTAIR KAFFEE,

and it's almost impossible not to like him. At the moment

he's hitting fungoes to about a dozen LAWYERS who are spread

out on the softball field on a corner of the bass. The '27

Yankees they're not, but they could probably hold their own

against a group of, say, Airforce dentists.

KAFFEE's in his late 20's, 15 months out of Harvard Law

School, and a brilliant legal mind waiting for a courageous

spirit to drive it. He is, at this point in his life,

passionate about nothing... except maybe softball.
