TOBRUK 1941
Several shots reveal shovels digging in the desert as the Desert Rats set explosives and a mouse leaps by.
???: Insubordinate. Churlish. No stranger to a prison cell. That's Lucas.
Lucas and his friends, Desmond "Des" WIlmot and "Bluey" Smith, toil in the desert as they set more explosives.
???: You had to credit the S.O.E. They were very good at spotting talent in the unlikeliest of places. And Lucas had talent. He was a skilled demolitionist with an explosive temperament. And a sharp tongue.
Lucas, "Des", and "Bluey" finish setting the explosives just as the sun sets. The camera focuses in on the detonator.
The scene cuts to nighttime as Lucas and his friends play cards.
???: Out there in the desert, the Rats of Tobruk were like a family. Unfortunately... They never did figure out how to get along with the brass.
A set of boots walks into view as Major Henry Hamms watches them.

Des Wilmot: Today, Princess.
Lucas Riggs: I'm savoring the moment.
Des Wilmot: (sarcastically) Oh, I'm so sorry. Of course you are, your highness.
Bluey holds his face in his hands, tired out.
Lucas Riggs: Hey, Bluey. Wake up. You're gonna wanna see this one.
Bluey grumbles.
Des Wilmot: Ah, fuck me. Play the damn cards.
Lucas puts down his hand on their makeshift table.
Lucas Riggs: Alright, Des... Read 'em and weep.
Des looks at the hand and gets frustrated.
Des Wilmot: Oh, you fucking donkey! No way!
An angry Hamms kicks their table, startling them.
Henry Hamms: Why the bloody hell aren't you at your posts?
"Bluey" Smith: Major Hamms. We thought.,,
Henry Hamms: You thought you'd muck around.
Lieutenant Robert Jacobs walks by.
Robert Jacobs: Major. Convoy's approaching.
Henry Hamms: Right. You Rats follow me. Try and act like real soldiers for once.

Des makes a mocking salute.
Des Wilmot: Uhh, ohhh, yes sir, no sir, uh - see? That's what a real soldier looks like, mate.
Lucas, Des, and Bluey put away their cards and gather their weapons and gear.
Des Wilmot: (sigh) What a way to stand up to him, Bluey! Good job, buddy.
"Bluey" Smith: Hey! Fuck off, Des.
Des WIlmot: What's Hamms even doing here in the first place, huh?
"Bluey" Smith: He's a Major. He can do whatever he wants.
