MARINE BASE--
DAY
Marine recruits having their heads shaved
with
electric clippers. The hair piles up on the floor.

BARRACKS--DAY
Marine recruits stand at attention in front of their
bunks.
Master Gunnery Sergeant HARTMAN walks along the
line of
blank-faced recruits.
HARTMAN

Hartman, your Senior
Drill Instructor. From now on, you will speak

the schedule.
Oh, shit!
Whoa!

Wait a minute!
Hold it up, you guys.
I was afraid youd miss me.
Dont worry.

Now that
is American workmanship.
You think the Japanese
invented that? Bullshit.
We did. For a while,
we lost it, but we got it back.
I like Cadillacs.
Well, come around here,
GARBAGE DUMPSTER.
DRIVING it like a football training sled into the ALLEY
where--
THE SEDAN LOCKS EM UP seconds too late as it SKIDS and
SLAMS into it, CRUNCHING into the brick wall and--
Still alive -- GRINDS into reverse back down the alley,
HEADLIGHTS SMASHED, it guns it backward as--
UTAH leaps over the dumpster and sprints after the car.
He has a brick in his right hand. He cocks it back.

AN AMERICAN FLAG
Oddly still, posted in gray dusty sand.
WIDEN TO REVEAL:
EXT. LUNAR SURFACE - THE MOON
One small step for man, one large pile of garbage for moon-
kind. Untouched for years, the flag stands next to the
castoff remains of the Apollo mission. Slowly the discarded
equipment begins to RATTLE and SHAKE.
AN ENORMOUS SHADOW creeps towards u

EXT. BORDER CHECKPOINT -- DAY
Cars filled with tourists move slowly through the checkpoint
into Mexico. On the American side: clean uncrowded streets.
??
EXT. TIAJUNA, MEXICO -- DAY
But just across the border: crowds, garbage everywhere,
buildings crammed together on pot holed streets. It seems
darker, more dangerous. Everything has a touch of evil.

EXT. STRIP CLUB -- DAY
A honky
Marines arm in arm with a blond woman
in a skirted bathing suit. They all turn and run toward the foreground. The
girl stops before the camera to lean over and throw a kiss. The sign over the
concession reads "Steves Famous Clam Bar. Ice Cold Beer, "and the roller
coaster is moving in full gear in the background.
