Johnny Mad Dog Page #4

Synopsis: Johnny Mad Dog, maybe 15, leads a band of boy soldiers in a civil war in an unnamed African country. "Don't want to die? Don't be born" is one of their shouted mottoes. We follow Mad Dog and his crew - No Good Advice, Butterfly, Chicken Hair, and others - as they kill, pillage rape, interrogate, and terrorize on their march to the capital. They take a TV station and lead an assault on the President's residence. We also follow Laokole, about Johnny age, as she tries to hold together her family of brother and disabled father. Is there more than chaos and inhumanity here? At war since age 10, has Johnny anything inside?

and tie him up.

- Your ma's name?

- Ataouza.

- Your pa's name?

- Abriye.

Look at the mark on this man.

He looks like a government fighter.

He's a government troop man.

Today is his last day.

Show me your finger.

That man's a f***ing fighter!

He's denying it!

- Who fired at my pickup?

- Not me.

Tell me the truth. Was it you?

I didn't fire.

Why did you have the Uzi then?

- I didn't.

- So why you hiding?

My oranges.

You were hiding for your oranges?

My ma sent me to look for food.

Tell the truth!

You lie and I'll kill you.

Who fired at my pickup?

Look at me!

Why you fight for the government?

You'll die poor.

Chief, I seen that man before.

He's a f***ing government troop man.

He was on reconnaissance.

When we catch these spies

they pretend to cry,

but they are not crying,

they can hit us in the back.

He's an enemy.

You'll die today, my boy.

- I'm not a fighter, I go to school.

- What school?

- What school?

- Methodist.

- Your teacher?

- Teacher Perry.

Stink mouth!

You f***ing Dogo man!

F***ing Dogo man!

You Dogo f***!

Everybody on board!

Johnny!

Johnny Mad Dog!

No Good Advice is waiting for you.

We're waiting for you!

What you doing?

Fofo, I'm going to hide you in here.

Don't come out,

I'll be back soon with dad.

Sit.

- Government troops!

- Pussies!

All men on board!

Dad!

Fofo!

Where are you?

- Where we going?

- Shut your f***ing mouth!

We'll kill the motherfuckers!

Where are the soldiers?

I don't know.

Enemy!

Move! Enemy around!

Move off the road!

Move off the road, enemy around!

Move off the road!

Move!

Motherf***er! Move! Move!

Sh*t, let's carry the man.

Chicken Hair,

watch out, bro.

It's dangerous here.

I saw some smoke up there.

Fast! Let's get him out of here.

Sniper in the building!

Reinforcements 1,2,3!

All clear, all clear!

It is my will that when I die

Don't bury me, don't bury me

You cut my dick in alcohol

And call my wife and give it to her

And when she cry, let her cry

When she roll let her rock

And what the f*** she thinks she is

She f***ing around with my GI dick

Another man will counsel her

Another man will comfort her

Take my rifle and my bonnet

Call my son and give it to him

Let him defend or let him fight

For his country, for his people

It is my will...

- Death dealer!

- No die, no rest.

Gentlemen, keep moving.

Shut the f*** up!

- F*** you rebels!

- They all deserve death.

Stand back!

Move!

- Back off!

- F***ing move away from the gate!

It's an emergency hospital.

We have to protect the hospital.

Move from the gate before I kill you!

Our general wants us to find

the government troops!

No arms allowed inside!
