FIRST OF THE NINTH AIR CAVALRY

MIKE
"That's a fantastic peak. "

KILGORE
"Peak ?"

MIKE
"About six feet. It got both the long right with left slide.
It's unbelieveable, it's just Tube City..."

KILGORE
" Well why the hell didn't you tell me that before ? There aren't any
good peaks in this whole, shitty country. It's all goddamn beach break."

MIKE
"It's really hairy in there,sir. That's where we lost McDonnel
- they shot the hell out of us. That's Charlie's point."

WILLARD
"Sir, we can go there tomorrow at dawn. There's always
a good off-shore breeze in the morning."

CHIEF
"We may not be able to get the boat in. The river may be too
shallow."

KILGORE
" We'll pick your boat up and put it down like a baby, right
where you want it. This is First of the Ninth, Air Cav,son- airmobile.
I can take that point and hold it as long as I like -- and you can
get anywhere you want up that river that suits you, young captain.
Hell, a six foot peak.

You take a gunship back to division -- Mike, take Lance with you -- let
him pick out a board, and bring me my Yater Spoon -- the eight six."

MIKE
"I don't know, sir -- it's -- it's --"

KILGORE
" What is it soldier?

MIKE
"It's pretty hairy in there - it's Charlie's point..."

KILGORE
"Charlie don't surf !"
