SCENE:
EXT. JUNGLE/TEST SITE - HORN ISLAND,
SOUTH PACIFIC - 1977- DAY.
BRYNNER:
Hemmings! Sam, I thought I told you to
close up shop and be ready to move up the
island by night-...
BRYNNER:
(off) ...-fall.
HEMMINGS:
Yes, Captain Brynner, you did, but-but--
BRYNNER:
(off) (interrupting) But...
BRYNNER:
...what, Sam? Can't I go down to the
loading dock for a few hours without
coming back to find a major...
BRYNNER:
(off) ...screwup?
HEMMINGS:
Uh, with all due respect, sir, Dr. Long
told me to prep the field for detonation
at...
HEMMINGS:
...noon.
BRYNNER:
Jesus Chri-- We're on a very slippery
slope here, Sam. A covert military
operation riddled with civilian...
BRYNNER:
(off) ...scientists.
HEMMINGS:
You don't think it's that bad, do you,
sir? I mean, Long's spent the last two
years developing his defoliant. The
stuff can't even kill crabgrass yet.
BRYNNER:
Where's their protective...
BRYNNER:
(off) ...gear?
HEMMINGS:
(off) It's a hundred degrees...
HEMMINGS:
...out here, captain. Don't you think
the guys deserve a break?
BRYNNER:
They'll get a break tomorrow.
BRYNNER:
We're not gonna take chances on our last
day.
SCENE:
INT. BLOCKHOUSE/LABORATORY - DAY.

NOTICE:
TELSTAR:
(pants) Hey...
TELSTAR:
(off) ...doc. What's up?
TELSTAR:
I thought we wrapped the tests yes-...
TELSTAR:
(face off) ...-terday. Captain Brynner
is...
TELSTAR:
...gonna shit if he finds out we haven't
closed up...
TELSTAR:
(face off) ...shop.
LONG:
I had something of an epiphany this
morning, Telstar. I eliminated the
binary shell and I grafted the cobalt ion
to the other side of the molecule. I
think it might give us a significantly
TELSTAR:
It better.
SCENE:
INT. BLOCKHOUSE/COMPUTER ROOM - DAY.
SWEENEY:
(grunts)
LONG:
Mr. Sweeney, how goes it?
SWEENEY:
Well, (clears throat) Costello's finished
with the stability profile, but Abbott is
still chewing on the load file.
LONG:
So reaction temperature is fifty degrees.
SWEENEY:
Well, your prediction was on the nose.
LONG:
How much longer for the range and power
projections?
SWEENEY:
(sighs) (raspberries) I don't know. Um,
he's working, but there's a lot of data.
Maybe...another hour?
LONG:
We don't have an hour. We're already
supposed to be shut down.
SCENE:
INT. BLOCKHOUSE/LABORATORY - DAY.
BRYNNER:
Doc-...
BRYNNER:
(off) ...-tor Long.
BRYNNER:
What the hell is all this about a
detonation today? We're scheduled...
BRYNNER:
...to be off the island tonight.
LONG:
And I changed the schedule.
LONG:
I don't work for you, Captain Brynner.
BRYNNER:
Sweeney tells me you don't have computer
confirmation?
LONG:
You know, captain, if you hadn't spent so
much of your career questioning your
superiors, you might've found yourself
with more gold leaf on your col-...
LONG:
...-lar.
BRYNNER:
This isn't some kind of pissing contest,
Long. You may be in charge here, but
those men out there are my responsi-...
BRYNNER:
...-bility.
LONG:
Look, this is a scientific experiment,
okay?
LONG:
If it works, your stock at the Pentagon
will go up along with mine. I don't
think I need to mention you could use the
help.
BRYNNER:
The NSA thinks the UN is onto your
work...
BRYNNER:
...here, and the White House is screaming
about chemical weapons, (face off) and
we're...
BRYNNER:
...sittin' here with our hands in the
goddamn cookie jar! And let me tell you
something else. I didn't join the
service to let people like you turn...
BRYNNER:
...the United States into the kind of
country we're supposed to be fighting
against.
