EXT. TRENCH DURING WAR - EVENING
EXPLOSIONS in the background. We see the GENERAL looking through binoculars and a SOLDIER shooting at the enemy. An enemy gunshot blows the soldier's helmet off.
SOLDIER
Oh no. They blew my helmet off.
GENERAL
Well, put it back on.
SOLDIER
I can't find it.
GENERAL
Well, put something on.
The soldier puts on a witches hat.
GENERAL
What the hell is that?
SOLIDER
It's a gun.
GENERAL
No. What's that on your head?
SOLDIER
Oh, it's my Halloween witches hat.
GENERAL
Well, get it off.
SOLDIER
But you said...
GENERAL
Just put another hat on.
The soldier takes the witches hat off and puts on a top hat. No sooner does a gunshot blow his top hat off.
SOLDIER
Oh dear. That wasn't even mine.
GENERAL
What are you doing? I thought I told you to put another hat on.
SOLIDER
Yes, sir.
The soldier goes behind the trench to where we can't see him. He pulls back up in a huge over-sized bonnet.
GENERAL
What the...? Are you crazy? Get that thing off!
He yanks it off his head.
GENERAL (CONT'D)
You can't find your soldier's helmet?
SOLDIER
No.
GENERAL
Well, here. Put this on.
The general puts a LA Lakers cap on his head.
SOLDIER
I hate the Lakers.
GENERAL
All right, here.
He puts a Sacramento Kings cap on his head instead.
SOLDIER
That's better.
GENERAL
Now, come on! Get ready to shoot! Ready?
SOLDIER
Ready, sir.
GENERAL
1, 2, 3, Fire!
The general explodes.
SOLDIER
Wholly smokes!
SOLDIER 2 comes running up.
SOLDIER 2
What's going on? I saw an explosion.
SOLDIER
The general just sort of blew up.
SOLIDER 2
How'd that happen?
SOLDIER
Beats me. He just said "fire" and...
The soldier explodes. SOLDIER 3 comes up.
SOLIDER 3
Has anybody seen my top hat?
SOLDIER 2
Johnson, Johnson. Our troops are exploding!
SOLDIER 3
What?
SOLDIER 2
It happens when anyone says the word "fire".
Soldier 2 explodes.
SOLIDER 3
Well, I'm not going to say "fire". Oop!
Soldier 3 explodes.
BLACK OUT.
