Uh, we want something else!
What? I'm releasing a hostage! You don't negotiate up from there!
Fuck you, dude! [turns to his sister] Get going. Call me if you have any problems. And don't go near any reds from now on. I'll try to keep our team distracted so they won't attack you. Whatever you do, don't embarrass the family. Think of mom.
Don't do me any favors, bitch.
What else was on the ship?
Y'know like guns or weapons...
Or snacks! [To Church] Dude I'm just asking 'cause I know you want it too.
Nope, just the girl! Sorry, there weren't any more aliens for you guys to fuck!
That's okay, we can still fuck this one!
God damn it! Never mind, just send her back!
[runs up] Oh my God, Grif, he's gone!
Sarge, he's missing! I dug up his grave and he's not in there!
What? Did you dig in the right spot?
Oh, you're right. Maybe I dug up one of the other fresh graves that we just made. I didn't fucking think of that!
Don't tell me to be calm, we're down two men now! Well, at least we still have the blue prisoner we can use as leverage. Hey, what are you doing out here in the middle of the canyon?
Uh, nothing. So, that Sarge thing's pretty crazy.
Hey, is that your sister over there with the blues? [as Grif slowly leaves] What's she doing over there? Why are they all high fiving? Are they making a cheerleading pyramid? Wow, they're really tossing her high in the air. Grif? Grif? Hey where'd he go?
Oh, what, the Reds are giving us prisoners now? Dude, that sounds like bullshit, I smell a trap.
Okay, normally I would agree with that, but this is the orange one, he's pretty crafty. He's a lot like me.
Like you? Shit. Then do I have time to put in my earplugs and hide all our food?
[talking to Sheila the tank] Yeah, maybe yoga lessons weren't such a good idea after all. Let's try some deep breathing. In through the air filter, out through the manifold. In through the air filter, out through the manifold. [Shelia points her turret at his head] Okay, why don't we try some aversion therapy? Think about something that makes you really angry that isn't me.
Sure. [aims across the gulch, straight at Church far away who sees her taking aim at him throught the sniper rifle]
Uhhh, yeah... I don't feel as good about my plan as I used to.
Well, uh, welcome to the blue team. I guess we should probably give you some kind of orientation or something like that. So, this is the, uh, this is the base here. It's the outside of the base, inside's on the inside, you go through that door right there, to the inside. Um, there's a ramp over here. There's another one on the other side. It's kinda smaller. Does the same thing, though. Uh, it's got a basement. There's a middle part and there's a top part. Got some, you know, blue flags here... on the outside. Those come in handy when... you're trying to identify the color of the base. It's blue. Anyway, that pretty much covers the base. So, anyway, uh, that's it.
I'm Church. I'm the leader. Everybody looks up to me. Pretty much the only rule for rookies on the blue team is don't kill the leader. That's me.
Yeah, well... we're still waiting for someone to follow that rule. So anyway, tell me about yourself. What's your training?
Yeah, what have you been told so far?
Oh, right. That's the base, and you're the leader, and I shouldn't kill you. Ever. [Pause] Did I pass?
No, I mean what kind of military training do you have? Uhh, Weapons?
I don't even know how that works.
Yeah, sorry, doesn't sound like I have the skills you need. Unless you want to see my ping-pong ball trick.
There's no time! Sarge is gone! I was digging a hole, and I kept digging, but there was no Sarge! And finally I dug deep enough, and I found another hole!
You dug a hole and found a hole. Isn't that what a hole is?
No, no, I mean a hole at the bottom! It opened into some kind of big cavern.
[stops] A cavern? A cavern like a cave? Like a cave with bats?
[stops] I don't know, why? Are you afraid of bats or something?
Afraid of bats? No! Why would I be afraid of bats? And why would you even ask that question? Were there bats or something? That's kind of a weird thing to ask just for no reason.
I didn't see any bats, okay?
I don't know what bats smell like!
And let's hope you never find out. Is it getting dark? We should get inside.
It hasn't gotten dark here in three fucking years, asshole.
Tucker's job is to do... what... I guess nothing.
I'm just chillin'. That's the only rule on blue team, rookie. Be cool.
I thought the only rule was don't kill the leader?
Yeah, but we break that rule all the time. That's what makes us so cool.
Awesome. On the red team, they break that rule-
Uh, that's not a dog. That's my kid.
Oh, cool! You have a kid that looks like a dog?
Nice save. Hey, you know what? I think I have the perfect tour guide for you. Hey Caboose! Come here!
I thought about having a kid once.
Oh, really? It's a lot of work.
Yeah, it seems like it would be hard. But I thought, you know, who wants to be known as the girl who's had seven abortions?
Alright, this is Caboose. He can tell you everything you possibly need to know about blue base.
[whispering] Is she a mean girl, or a regular girl?
Caboose, what did I tell you?
That there are no regular girls.
Exactly. Alright just stick with him, ask him any questions you have, and don't bother me or tucker.
Well, I already know the rule.
Go show her Doc and Sheila.
The purple one is Doc, and the big one is Sheila.
You know, I was really wishing that would take longer. And further away.
Yeah, the one in the black armor! The one standing right behind you guys.
The black one! Yeah. [pause] Wait, what?
Yup, that's the hole all right.
Huh. And Sarge's body is gone.
Right. I think he fell through that hole into the cavern.
Maybe he just disappeared. Dead things do that when you bury them. That's part of the circle of life, you know. It's a miracle when you think about it. No reason to go randomly exploring caves which may or may not contain hundreds of evil bats. That would just be interfering with God's divine plan!
Okay, A: Sarge wasn't dead. B: Decomposing takes months, not minutes. C: His armor would still be here, and D: Shut up, you're going down there. NOW.
Why? What do we really need Sarge for anyway? All he ever did was yell at us a bunch and tell us we suck. We'll just split up his duties. You yell at me and I'll tell you you suck.
Shut up and get in the hole, Grif!
You suck, Simmons. Oh man, this new system is already working out great! We should have thought of this years ago!
Grif, don't you understand that because we lost Sister, we're horribly outnumbered? We already lost Donut and Sarge. Now it's four on two! The blues are probably gearing up for an enormous attack right now! At any moment they're going to come over that hill, guns blazing, yelling "CHAAAARGE!"
Sprinting! Sprinting! Oh, crap!
[catches a bullet in the helmet] Ow.
Tex isn't a guy; she's a girl.
Ohh, sorry, she is a badass. She's kinda hot.
[as they take cover behind the base] She's actually Church's ex-girlfriend.
Oh, yeah? Why aren't you guys dating anymore? [Tex throws another grenade at them which explodes nearby]
Are you seriously asking that question right now?
The last time I was shot I got a purple heart. Yeah, I hope this time I get a purple lung. You see, eventually I hope to build an entire purple person. And we will be best friends.
Maybe you should ask for a purple brain.
You're just jealous 'cause you have no friends.
Why is she shooting at us?
How do I know? And why are you acting like this is unusual?
Well, go out there and tell her to stop!
Yeah... I'll get right on that.
Aren't you like, the leader, or something?
Uh, yeah, Sister, I am the leader, which is why I am officially appointing you our field negotiator.
Yes, congratulations, we're all very proud of you. Your first job is to get Tex to stop firing at us.
Cool. [stands up] Hey Tex! Stop shooting, you stupid bitch!
Nice negotiating. [Tex stops shooting]
She stopped firing. I think that actually worked. Maybe she's out of ammo. Let me check.
[stands up, and promptly gets shot in the head by a sniper round] Nope, she still has ammo.
I'm gonna go get my body back.
Hey, Tucker, is my body on straight?
Dude, I don't even know what that means.
We were already not moving. You could've just said "everyone keep doing what your not doing."
Tex, what is your problem?
My problem is that O'Malley isn't in Doc anymore. He's jumped into somebody new, and I'm not trusting anyone 'til I find out who.
Yeah, we already know we're on top of the situation.
You are, then who did O'Malley jump into.
Oh yeah I meant-I meant we were on top of everything until that point.
Ah, its just some computer program that wants to destroy the universe. He infects people from time to time but, its no big deal.
Oh, it's all good, baby. I'll protect you.
Yeah, that's what the last guy said and now I can't stop scratching
None of us are infected, Tex, but I'm a little worried about the tank, she's been acting a little weird lately. Can an AI be planted on... [pauses] Tex?
What? Who, Sister? Oh, she's just a new recruit.
You mean to tell me that I'm only gone a few weeks, and you guys get yourself a new girl?
Whoa. Tread lightly, dude, tread... lightly.
You know, I wasn't actually scared, until right just now.
Oh, this is not gonna work out well for us.
Dude, are you kidding? We finally have two girls on our team! You know what that means!
Yeah! Co-ed softball team! I'm gonna go get my baseball racquet.
Tucker, I know what you're thinking, and it's not gonna happen.
Because girls can't share anything. Not even an apartment. Every time girls live together, within six months they all hate each other, and somebody gets stuck with a $1200 phone bill. That's fact.
Ah, let them fight. As long as we get to watch them making up who cares? We can even record it and sell copies to the Reds!
Stupid Grif and Simmons. Can't even build a regulation grave! What did we bring all those drills for! So, this is the afterlife, huh? Heh, not too impressive if you ask me. This place is a wreck! Who's in charge here, anyway? Need to get me a couple of marine angels, get this place spick and span in no time! You know, now that I think about it, I don't seem to remember much about underground caves in the Bible. Not even in that new Bible they rewrote in 2040, with that big chase scene and that weird cameo by Ben Stiller. That guy's a nut. Wait a minute, afterlife? Underground cave? What if this isn't heaven? What if it's... no, it couldn't be! Could it? [Donut walks up]
Oh, hey, Sarge! What are you doing down here?
