American Sniper Page #5

Synopsis: Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

You're trembling.

I know it.

- We don't have to do this.

- No, I want to. I do.

- Yeah?

- You just feel real and it scares me.

You got your off-eye shut?

Well, if I close my off-eye

then I can't see what's out there.

- There's nothing out there but the target.

- Negative, sir. There is something out there.

Punch it.

Will pushups help?

Give me 50, Kyle. Clear and safe.

I'm better when it's breathing.

Oh, my God. Chris.

- What's wrong?

- No!

Here's the tape.

You see the first plane coming in

from what looks like the east side.

And it goes into the building

with the flames...

...and the smoke billowing out

the other side of the tower.

It's hard for me to tell exactly which is

the north side and which is the south side.

It appears it's coming out

of the north side.

And then, moments ago,

these incredible images.

I believe that's the first one.

That's the south tower collapsing.

It almost looks like one of those implosions

of buildings that you see...

...except there is nothing controlled

about this. This is devastation.

You hardly even know me.

I know enough.

You are a package deal, babe.

What are you so afraid of?

Nothing.

Everything, I don't know.

What if it doesn't work out?

We're gonna get married

and then we're gonna start a family.

You got it all planned out, don't you?

I'm done.

I love you.

You're gonna need a ring if you

wanna talk all tough like that.

0K8)'-

Ladies and gentlemen,

Mr. and Mrs. Chris Kyle!

- What the hell is on your neck?

- Hm?

Your neck. You got, like,

green paint all over you.

Would you believe me, babe,

if I told you...

...that I had an IV and I was

all green about two hours ago?

What?

It's a package deal, babe.

Oh, my God.

Come here, you.

Cheers to that.

What's the word, chief?

Just got the call, boys.

It's on!

Hooyah! Ha-ha-ha.

Shots!

Yeah! Whoo!

- Only six weeks, baby.

- I'm so afraid, baby.

That's what they say.

You got nothing to be afraid of.

It's all part of the plan.

Your heart is beating out of your chest.

That's just because I'm not

the only one who's going to war, that's all.

Welcome to Fallujah.

The new Wild West of the old Middle East.

AQI put a price on your heads, and now

extremists from around the globe...

...are flooding the borders to collect on it.

You snipers, you're gonna be paired

with a Marine to watch your back...

...and inserted along the main road to do

oven/vatch for 1st Marines going door to door.

Your job is to protect those Marines

at all costs.

The city has been evacuated.

Any military-age male

who is still here...

...is here to kill you.

Let's bring these boys in safe

and get our asses back home.
