First couple pages of my script for my storytelling class. (More to follow)

EXT. AFRICAN VILLAGE – DAY



LT. GEORGE WILSON, a rugged looking man in his early 30’s, and his group of 4 other Navy SEALS carry out their mission of delivering care packages to an African village, and begin to set back to their helicopter.



TYSON

Lieutenant sir, how far do we have to go to get to the chopper?



GEORGE

It’s waiting in a small village approximately 6.3 miles north east of here. Please go let the other men know. We must be leaving here now, so we can get there before nightfall.



TYSON

Sir, yes sir!



The SEALS give their heartfelt goodbyes to the villagers, and set out for their journey back to the chopper.





EXT. JUNGLE – DAY



The men stop when they hear a crashing sound in the distance.



BRYON

What the hell was that?!



GEORGE

Who knows? But we are only 4 miles from the chopper, so we must keep moving. We do not want to be walking in these woods during the night! Keep alerted though, there are a few rebel armies that patrol these forests every once in a while. We do not want to have any conflict with anyone.



BRYON

Yes sir! Lets keep moving boys!


They are continuing through the forest, when they hear a few voices not to far from them.



GEORGE

Hold up a second!



MARK

(whisper)

Sir, there’s 2 armed men at 9 o’clock standing approximately 50 feet from us. They look like rebels.



GEORGE

Yeah I see them, but we must keep moving quietly. Keep your guns close, but do not fire unless ordered to do so!



The 2 men, who are part of a local rebel army, spot the group of Navy SEALS moving through the forest.



The rebels quickly head back to their village, where there are approximately 50 more rebel soldiers. They are all sitting around a truck, laughing and joking around with each other. The 2 men frantically search for their commander.



REBEL SOLDIER #1

Sir, sir! We spotted a group of Americans walking through the forest.



REBEL COMMANDER

What are they doing?



REBEL SOLDIER #1

I don’t know sir, but how about we go find out?



The group of rebels are standing around the man listening to him explain this to the commander.



REBEL COMMANDER

Well you heard the man, lets go see what these Americans are doing in our territory!



The group of rebels quickly leaves their village, all armed with AK-47’s, and pursuit the group of SEALS.



The Navy SEALS are quickly moving through the forest, but don’t have a clue that the soldiers in the rebel army spotted them walk by.

that's all I have so far, and it's not the best yet. IT'S ONLY A ROUGH DRAFT! ha ha. I will post the whole thing, once I finish it. so stay tuned. and by the way, this is the first time in my life I have written a script, so be nice! ;) also, the script format isn't exactly how a script looks, I realize this, but it's hard to put it in the screen play form when posting it on here. I do have it written correctly on my actual script though.

Looks good so far. If you need someone to edit it and check for grammar. Send it to Syd, before you turn it in.
