The players are standing on the field in the crowded stadium,
but the game has been interrupted and everyone is listening
to the voice on the loudspeaker system. (Actual stock shot
would be coverage of some dedication or ceremonial.)
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. PENTAGON OFFICE - CLOSE SHOT
A Brigadier General speaks in clipped tones into the
telephone. There are a couple of other officers in the room.
BRIGADIER GENERAL
(into phone)
Get me the Chief of Staff.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. U.S. SENATE OR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (STOCK)
A shot, if one is available, of either House listening raptly
as an announcement of great import is read by the Chair.
DISSOLVE TO:
A distinguished-looking government official speaks into the
phone with a sense of subdued urgency.
GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIAL
I want to speak to the President.
(listens for a moment)
I'm sorry -- you'll have to interrupt
him.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. RADIO AND TELEVISION STUDIO - MED. SHOT
A nationally known news commentator -- for purposes of this
script let's say Drew Pearson -- is seated before a radio
mike. He is also being photographed by TV cameras. In a wall
near him is a TV screen which shows what is going out on the
air. During the ensuing speech, a man comes in a hands him a
sheaf of news bulletins.
PEARSON:
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
this is Drew Pearson. We bring you
this special radio-television
broadcast to give you the latest
information on the landing of the
"space ship" in Washington.
CLOSE SHOT - PEARSON
PEARSON:
Government and Defense Department
officials are concerned by reports
of panic in several large Eastern
cities. I am authorized to assure
you that so far there is no reasonable
cause for alarm. The rumors of
invading armies and mass destruction
absolutely false. I repeat -- these
rumors are absolutely false!
