EXT. CONFEDERATE WALL - DAY
Ragged CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS crouch sullenly behind one of
the walls.
EXT. UNION WALL - DAY
And just behind the other wall are UNION MEN, better equipped
perhaps, but just as weary as their enemies.
We hold on one man, an enlisted soldier, SERGEANT PEPPER. He
chances to glance behind and squints at a strange sight.
A solitary officer is standing a few feet behind him. The
sun is at his back, giving him a ghostly feel. Eerily he
takes a step or two forward. He's limping badly.
The sergeant recognizes him. It's Dunbar.
PEPPER:
Lieutenant... izat you?
Dunbar says nothing. He just stands and stares. It unnerves
the sergeant.
PEPPER:
What're you doing here lieutenant?
DUNBAR:
This is where I belong... this is my
outfit.
The sergeant stares at Dunbar's foot.
PEPPER:
You went to hospital?
DUNBAR:
It was no good... what's going on
here?
A ping of riflefire flies overhead and the sergeant dives
for the wall. He calls over his shoulder.
PEPPER:
Better come to cover lieutenant...
those boys are shooters.
