SCENE 1

(A stage with a desert background. daytime)
Mob of soldiers on either side, one with Trojan helmets Americans, seemingly nervous, some biting nails, some tapping feet, some beating chests one with turbans significantly smaller, some praying. American mob charges, Turban mob backs up before defending themselves.
Cut to one American and one Turban with green LIFE bars overhead. American attacks Turban with bayonet and Turban's LIFE bar gradually goes down, shifting from green to yellow to red as in a video game.
Cut to football field with both mobs minus a few on each side and a score posted overhead with a slightly higher score on the side of Americans. Turbans kickoff a ball and score. Americans shoot Turbans.
Cut to two hands one with a Helmeted thumb, one with Turbaned thumb. Thumb wrestling.
Cut back to onstage fighting. All fall. Two Americans arise. They are Captain JackCarol and 2nd Lieutenant Samuel Harper in person mask.
Cut to Captain Jack and Lieutenant Sam walk alone passing a graveyard, a broken down car and a giant vulture feeding on a walrus.

Lieutenant Sam :
You okay?

Captain Jack :
No. (pauses)
You hear that?

Lieutenant Sam :
No. (pauses)
Hear what?

Jack :
Nothing. I don't know. Kinda. Like. Prayer. Or Cheering.

Low Cheering and Prayer are both heard.

Sam :
Yeah. Sorta. Almost like welcoming us.

Again, they pass the Vulture, this time rubbing belly and smoking. Sam falls. Jack quickly rushes to pick him up and starts fireman carry. Enter Wolf-Head in toga.

Jack:
Great. Absolutely. Fan. Fucking. Tastic. Surely you"ve come to take my soul.

Wolf-Head :
Or just to chisel it a bit. To prepare you. Like the sharpening of a knife.

Jack :
How so?

Wolf-Head :
You"re going to die.

Jack:
Oh. You mean to say I haven"t already?

Wolf-Head:
Yes you have. Many times.

Jack:
I suppose we"ve met before.

Wolf-Head:
Haven"t we all? We"re bound to.

Enter Cast.

Jack:
I remember.

Exit Cast

Wolf-Head:
(putting a hand on Jack's shoulder)
Of course you do. Don't worry about the oppression of the sun upon your back, or the aching, of your body, your mind, or the worries you still hold on to. Rather, focus on these moments, you'll remember them throughout all your lives.

Jack:
(seemingly hypnotized)
I don't worry. I am a pupa and I'll hatch into a god. This sun is burning experience onto our hides as we speak.

Jack drops Sam before Wolf-Head. Wolf-Head bites Sam at the throat before doing the same to Jack. Neither screams.
