5 scenes Captain Steele (Troops are having an impromptu barbecue with a wild boar killed by Hoot.)
Sergeant, what's going on here?
Oh, just some aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave it behind.
Steele I'm talking about your weapon. Delta or no Delta, that's a hot weapon. You know better than that. Your safety should be on at all times on base.
Hoot (holding up his index finger): Well, this is my safety, sir.
Sgt. "Griz" Martin
(A hasty planning session outside the target building.)
We still got guys inside.
All right, all right. I'm gonna go to the crash.
Martin
You take the rest of the team, I'll finish loading the prisoners.
Capt. Steele Negative! We'll proceed to the crash site together, secure the perimeter, and wait for the humvees. Roger, sir?
Lt.Col McKnight
Roger that.
Capt. Steele Follow my lead. Sergeant, are you receiving me?
Yeah, I heard you. We should be leaving soon.
All right, we need to move out now! I'll finish loading the prisoners and pick you up at the crash site.
Steele Let's move out!
Captain Steele, we gotta move or we're gonna get pinned down!
Capt. Steele We are moving just as fast as we can. Now you do your job and let me do mine. Over.
Capt. Steele [...]
What the **** are you doing out there?
I'm doing my job. Now we gotta get to that crash site. We gotta get out on that street, and we gotta move. And you have got to keep up, sir!
Steele Don't you ever give me orders, Sergeant! We are combat ineffective, you understand me? We got too many damn wounded to move!
Then give me some of your shooters and I'll circle us to the bird.
Steele Grimes, you're with Chalk Four? (Grimes nods) All right, hook up with Delta and link up with Sergeant Eversmann. The rest of you men secure this position and treat the wounded. We'll wait for the convoy. Then we'll rally at the crash site. Roger?
My guys, let's go!
Capt. Steele (Sgt. Ruiz was badly wounded during the move toward the crash site.)
Sergeant? Sergeant Ruiz, how you doing?
Sgt. Ruiz Our guys aren't gonna come get us. They're not gonna come for us!
Steele I need you to suck it up, Sergeant. I need you to focus for me. All right? Can you do that? (Ruiz nods) Now, can you hold your weapon?
Ruiz Yes, sir.
Steele Anybody comes through that door, you give 'em two in the chest and one in the head. You understand?
Ruiz I'm still in the fight, sir. Still in the fight.
Capt. Steele (Captain Steele is visiting his wounded in a makeshift hospital.)
Ruiz? Sergeant?
Sgt. Ruiz (weakly): Captain.
Steele Lorenzo, how you doing?
Ruiz It went in and out, so the medic said I should be okay in a couple of days.
Steele That's great news.
Ruiz Are we going after them?
Steele You bet your ass we will! We gotta regroup.
Ruiz Don't go out there without me. Don't go back out there without me. I can still do my job.
