Apocalypse Now Redux Page #4

The colonel turns and offers Willard a cigarette from the

pack.

COLONEL:

(to Willard)

Do you want a cigarette?

WILLARD:

No thank you, sir.

COLONEL:

(indicating civilian)

Captain, have you ever seen this

gentleman before?

WILLARD:

No, sir. Not personally.

COLONEL:

You've worked a lot on your own,

haven't you, Captain?

WILLARD:

Yes, sir, I have.

COLONEL:

Your report specifies intelligence,

counter-intelligence with Com-Sec,

I Corps.

WILLARD:

I'm not presently disposed to

discuss those operations, sir.

There is a pause as the colonel lights his cigarette, then

moves to the sofa. He bends down and picks up a dossier,

looks at it.

COLONEL:

Did you not work for the CIA in I

Corps?

WILLARD:

(pause)

No, sir.

COLONEL:

Did you not assassinate a government

tax collector...Quang Tri province

June 18, 1968?

Willard doesn't answer.

COLONEL:

Captain?

WILLARD:

Sir, I am unaware of any such

activity or operation, nor would I

be disposed to discuss an operation,

if it did in fact exist, sir.

A pause. Willard is tired and confused and hung over, but

he is handling himself well. The general rises.

GENERAL:

I thought we'd have a bit of lunch

while we talked. I hope you brought

a good appetite, Captain.
