MILLER:

That's the route.

Miller motions to six men huddled near him.

MILLER:

Go!

THE SIX MEN:

Take an instant to get ready. Then

SCRAMBLE into the gap.

MILLER AND THE OTHERS

Do their best to cover them. POUR FIRE up at the Germans.

Bad angle. No Germans are hit.

THE SIX MEN:

Are CUT TO RIBBONS by MACHINE GUN

FIRE. All KILLED. They fall to the

rocks below.

SARGE, mid-twenties, experienced, Miller's right arm and

best friend, dives into the rocks next to Miller.

Sarge That's a goddamned shooting gallery, Captain.

MILLER:

It's the only way.

MILLER:

Turns to the next half-dozen men.

MILLER:

YOU'RE NEXT!

THE SECOND SIX:

Move to the head of the gap. Miller

moves for a better angle against the

machine guns. Calls to JACKSON, a

tall, gangly Southern country boy,

sharp-shooter.

MILLER:

JACKSON, PICK OFF A FEW OF THEM,

WILL YOU?

JACKSON:

(heavy Southern accent)

You betcha, Captain.

Miller signals others where to direct their cover fire.

Turns to the second six.

MILLER:

GO!

THE SECOND SIX:

Take deep breaths. Head into the

gap.

MILLER AND OTHERS BLAST SURPRISING FIRE

JACKSON, NAILS a pair of Germans. MILLER CUTS DOWN two more.

SARGE gets one. Not enough.

THE SECOND SIX:

Are RAKED BY MACHINE GUNS. All are

KILLED.

MILLER:

Turns, looking for the next six.

His eyes fall on Sarge and REIBEN

who is a cynical, sharp, New Yorker.

Reiben smiles.
