Full Metal Jacket

JOKER

I wouldn't shit you, man. You're my favorite turd.

Cowboy begins to lose consciousness.

JOKER
Cowboy...

DONLON

Hang on, man. Hang on!

COWBOY

(coughs)

I... I can hack it.

T.H.E. ROCK

You can hack it.

COWBOY

I can. I-I...

Cowboy spits up some blood and dies in Joker's arms.

Joker bends down and hugs Cowboy.

Nobody moves.

Then, one by one, they slowly get to their feet. Joker is the last to get up.

They stand looking at the body.

Animal Mother leaves two men to continue firing at the Sniper, and he scuttles around the corner to the group around Cowboy's body.

He looks at Cowboy and then at Joker.

ANIMAL MOTHER
Let's go get some payback.

Joker looks up slowly.

JOKER

(in cold anger)

Okay.

Animal Mother leads then down a narrow street.

They stop to take cover behind a building just off the square.

They have to cross the open. square, which would give the Sniper a clear shot at them.

ANIMAL MOTHER
Give 'em some smoke.

He and Joker toss three smoke grenades into the square. They explode with a dull bang.

They wait while the square slowly fills with smoke.

Animal Mother waves and they run out blindly through the thick smoke to the other side of the square.

INT. BLACK BUILDING – DUSK

They work their way into the shattered, burning building, past twisted steel girders and huge broken chunks of concrete.

They come to a place where they have to split up. Animal Mother points one way.

ANIMAL MOTHER
Donlon, Rock – that way. You two with me.

Donlon and T.H.E. Rock move off as ordered.

Joker and Rafterman follow Animal Mother the other way.

They come to another place where they have to choose which way to go.

ANIMAL MOTHER
(pointing)

Joker, in there! New Guy with me.

Joker cautiously enters one door. Animal Mother and Rafterman disappear through the other.
