Strange Intruder

---

( man screaming )

Hey!

( slow theme playing )

Hey, you, doctor

( chuckles )

You see, no more

can you, uh, complain, doctor,

that your sick

have no beds to lie on.

( whistles )

There are their beds.

( chuckling )

Plenty air.

Springy,

like mattress, huh?

( laughs )

You no like?

Oh, yes, sure.

As you say, they are nice,

springy, plenty of ventilation.

What more can a man ask

to die on?

( laughing )

You see, doctor, we know how to

look after our guests in Korea.

ADRIAN:

Paul!

Oh, heh, Adrian.

How's your leg?

I haven't been thinking

about it much today.

I think

I'd like to sit down.

Ferguson...

Couldn't you have kept it

out of the dirt?

I've no more bandages.

I'm sorry, I suppose

I could have. I'll wash it out.

You've got to keep

your trouser off that leg.

As if that'll matter

in all this filth.

And I asked that swine today

if I could go into the forest.

thought I might be able

to find some plant or herb

out of which

I could make something.

He just laughed.

( scoffs )

Three more died today.

Why not let them die?

Don't say that,

do you hear?

The only weapon we have left

against these animals is life.

We've got to live,

all of us.

Look, Paul, you have

your talent, your music.

They must not kill that.

( slow theme playing )

And I've got my children.

Heh, Johnny and Libby,

and mom and dad and Meg.

What a wonderful life

to go back to.

Tell me

about them again.

You are a dreamer,

aren't you?

There's nothing

I haven't told you about them.

Well, well, show me

Johnny and Libby again.

( chuckles )

Libby and Johnny.

And Libby's kisses

were always so wet

that you had to wipe

your face.

And she had a rag dog

called Wo-wo,

( chuckles )

and the stuffing was always

coming out of him, heh.

I must live through this.

That other man

must never have them. Never.

I'd sooner...

You've never told me

anything about your wife.

Alice? Well, there's

nothing to tell.

Doc. It's Klein,

you better hurry.

( slow theme playing )

( man breathing heavily )

MAN:

Doc.

What can I do,

with nothing but my hands.

Doc. Doc.

It's all right, Al, I'm here.

I can't see.

It's, ugh, getting dark.

I'm afraid.

Oh, there's nothing

to be afraid of, son.

You just hold on

tight, huh?

It won't be dark

for long.

I can't...

Watch it!

( tense theme playing )

On your feet, pigs!

( laughs )

On your feet.

Soldiers.

( laughing )

Get him up.

I said get him up!

Just a minute.

( speaks

in foreign language )

I said stand up, up!

You're too late.

Hey, hey, Al,

he wants to box you.

He doesn't realize

you're a Golden Glove champ!

So you want to box, huh,

well, I'll show you how to box!

( grunting )

( screaming

in foreign language)

( Adrian groaning )

Remember, Paul,

once that sentry goes,

you've only got ten seconds.

( suspenseful

theme playing )

Adrian.

Huh?

( sighs )

( plane engine droning )

Put out the lights.

( bombs explode )

They're after

the ammunition dump.

Let's help them!

( tense theme playing )

( grunts )

( shouting indistinctly )

( gunfire )

( groaning and screaming )

Paul.

It's all right, Adrian,

I'm here, you're all right.

The watch, the key.

Take them.

You'll be all right--

Take them, take them.

Remember

what you've always said,

that we must live.

We've got

to get out of here.

No.

Mom, Meg and dad,

kiss them for me.

And the children,

promise me--

We've still

got a chance.

Promise me.

He must never have them,

better they die than that,

do you hear?

Better they die.

Adrian.

Adrian--

Promise. Promise!

John and Libby better dead.
