204 EXT. – DECK – MED. SHOT

They approach the corner of the superstructure which blocks the path. Perry steps quickly in front of Fender.

PERRY

(over his shoulder)

After you.

Fender circles Perry swiftly and crosses over in front of him.

FENDER

After you.

They both look off, stop, and salute.

205 EXT. – DECK – MED. CLOSE SHOT

Craig is facing them.

CRAIG

I’m going ashore. One of you will stay aboard, in command, until I return. I don’t care which one.

He exits. Fender and Perry look at each other.

FENDER

(grinning)

Well, well, too bad. You rank me, so I suppose that leaves you here in full command.

PERRY

I’ll waive.

FENDER

Waive – at what?

PERRY

I said you can rank me.

FENDER

Well, well, well, so I’ll have to be a gentleman, even if I don’t know where Park Avenue is! Okay, come on.

As they start out –

FENDER

Low man stays on board.

PERRY

Right.

Fender shuffles the cards. Cuts. Perry cuts.

209 EXT. – THE QUAY AT AMERICAN BAY – FULL SHOT

A gala and festive air. American and Italian flags. A crowd of people watching as the tenders from the American fleet land the sailors. The people cheer in Italian and Greek.

210 CLOSER SHOT

The American sailors look about curiously as they disembark. Perry and Rocky get out of one of the little boats. Rocky shakes his hands above his head like a prize fighter. The crowd cheers again. There is a faint SOUND of gunfire.

WIPE TO:

211 AN OPEN AIR CAFE – CLOSE SHOT – AT TABLE

Schultz is surrounded by girls, pouring champagne for them, trying to talk to them in sign language. The girls laugh. SOUND of gunfire is a little louder. Schultz listens, holds up his hand. The girls look at him attentively.

SCHULTZ

Boom! Boom!

He points toward the sound. The girls nod. A waiter enters with more wine.

211 (CONTINUED)

SCHULTZ

(to waiter)

Boom! Boom! Eh?

WAITER

(serving wine)

They’re guns – at Quarante, signor.

SCHULTZ

Guns? Shooting?

WAITER

(ironically)

Si – there is a war.

79.

SCHULTZ

(shuddering)

Man, don’t scare me to death.

(putting his arms around the girls)

Come on – wine!

WIPE TO:

212 INT. A BAR – MED. CLOSE

Brett and Johnny standing at the bar. The bartender sets a bottle of whiskey and two glasses down in front of them and exits. Brett fills the glasses.

BRETT

(shoving one to Johnny)

Your first drink, huh? Where you been all your life – in Sunday School?

JOHNNY

No, I just never –

(he picks up the glass, undecided. Brett watches him.)

BRETT

G’wan – down with it.

Johnny starts to drink – stops – sets the glass down.

JOHNNY

No – I promised --

(he takes out money hurriedly – puts it on the bar)

I’ll pay for it, but I --

He exits hurriedly. Brett looks after him contemptuously, then at the money.

BRETT

Well, for cryin’ out loud.

He drinks his own drink then takes Johnny’s – pushes the money across the bar – calls off.

BRETT

Two more, Spaghett’.

A girl moves in beside him, he looks her over – calls:
