A Few Good Men Page #5

Synopsis: Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) to the stand in an effort to uncover the conspiracy.

KAFFEE:

(calling out to the

team)

Alright, let's get two!

He smacks one to the SECOND BASE. The ball bounces right

between his legs.

SECOND BASE:

Sorry!

KAFFEE:

Nothing to be sorry about, Sherby.

Just look the ball into your glove.

He smacks one out to the same place. It bounces off the heel

of SHERBY's glove and into center field.

SECOND BASE (SHERBY)

Sorry!

KAFFEE:

You gotta trust me, Sherby. You keep

your eyes open, your chances of

catching the ball increase by a factor

of ten.

SPRADLING, a young naval officer, sweaty and out of breath,

walks up behind the backstop.

SPRADLING:

Kaffee!

KAFFEE:

Let's try it again.

SPRADLING:

Kaffee!!

KAFFEE:

(turning)

Dave. You seem upset and distraught.

SPRADLING:

We were supposed to meet in your

office 15 minutes ago to talk about

the McDermott case. You're stalling

on this thing. Now we got this done

and I mean now, or no kidding, Kaffee,

I'll hang your boy from a f***in'

yardarm.

KAFFEE:

A yardarm?

(calling out)

Sherby, does the Navy still hang

people from yardarms?

SHERBY:

(calling back)

I don't think so, Danny.

KAFFEE:

(back to SPRADLING)

Dave, Sherby doesn't think the Navy

hangs people from yardarms anymore.

(back to the field)

Let's go, let's get two!
