Church, Unknown, Tucker, and Caboose are standing on top of Blue Base.

Church: Let me get this straight.. You gave this guy our flag?

Caboose: Is that bad?

Church: Bad? Oh no, that's not bad. Next time he comes over, why don't you just help him blow up the whole goddamn base?

Tucker: There, there he is.

Church: (looking through the sniper rifle) Where? Oh, yeah, oh, I got him. He's sneaking around back behind the cliffs.

Tucker: He must be one smart son of a bitch.

Unknown: (looks through his Binary rifle) huh? He's out in the open.

Donut is lost and looking around the canyon.

Donut: Oh, man, I am so freakin' lost. Where the hell is the base?

Back to Church, Unknown, Tucker, and Caboose.

Church: Oh, shit... Hey Tucker, look at his armor. It's red.

Tucker: Oh man, that means it's their Sergeant.

Church: Well, that makes sense. At least now we know how he got by our defenses.

Unknown: what defenses?

Caboose: Uh, you know.. he came in the back door where you guys were standing.

Unknown: details aren't important rookie.

Tucker: Yeah, okay, well let's take him out then.

Church: Roger that. Okay, say goodnight, Sarge.

Back to Donut as Church shoots four times but misses.

Donut: (crouching) Son of a bitch!

Church: Aw crap.

Tucker: ...

Unknown: ...

Church: (turns to Tucker and Unknown) ...What?

Tucker: You're REALLY not very good with that thing, are you?

Donut: (shouting at Blue Base while waving the flag) Hey! It's me! Don't shoot! I'm the guy that bought the flag, remember!?

Tucker: Oh great, now he's taunting us. That's just embarrassing.

Unknown: let me take a shot at him?

Church: be my guess.

Unknown then takes out his Binary rifle and aims at Donut, as he was about to shoot, something happened and made Unknown miss.

Tucker: ...

Church: and you complain that my aim was bad.

Unknown: shut the fuck up.

Church: Alright, that's it, I've had it. Rookie, you stay here. Me, Unknown, and Tucker, we'll head through the teleporter, we'll cut him off at the pass.

Caboose: Right!

Church: you two ready? Let's go.

Tucker: There is no way I'm going through that thing.

Church: Tucker, we don't have time for this. Why would they give us a teleporter if it doesn't work?

Tucker: I don't know, why would they give us a tank that no one can drive?

Unknown: solid point.

Church: We already tested the teleporter, remember?

Tucker: We threw rocks through it!

Church: Yeah, and, so what? The rocks came out the other side, didn't they?

Tucker: Yeah, but they were all hot and covered with black stuff.

Unknown: then we threw beef and it turned cooked.

Church: Oh, so I guess that's what this is all about then. You're afraid of a little black stuff.

Tucker: Yes. I am. I am afraid of black stuff.

Church: Tucker, I almost hate to do this to you. (raising his gun at Tucker)

Tucker: You wouldn't...

Church: You know, I look at it this way: Either A, we go through there and get the flag back, or B, we stay here and I get to kill you. Either way, I win.

Tucker: why can't Unknown go first?

Church: cause he would punch you in there first.

Tucker: (ponders for a moment then sighs) For the record, I want you to know, rocks aren't people.

Church: Duly noted. Now get in there.

Tucker: Crap... Alright. One, two...

Tucker runs through and doesn't appear on the other side.

Caboose: ...Huh, he didn't come out the other side...

Church: Yeeaahhh, I've uh- I've decided I'm not gonna use the teleporter.

Unknown: uh, same with me.

Church and Unknown runs off the base to chase Donut.

Church: Okay, rookie, you stay here! We'll be back with the flag!

With Simmons and Grif.

Simmons: I still have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't hear any shots.

Grif: (sighs) I'm telling you, it was five shots. Like bam, bam, bam.

Simmons: Wait a second, that's only three bams.

Grif: Bam ...

Simmons: that was still four bams.

Grif: bam. (sees Church and Unknown through a sniper rifle) Wait a second, we've got two Blue guys on the move out there.

Simmons: Where they headed?

Grif: (looks to the left) Oh crap. It... It's Donut. And he's got something... (zooms in) It looks like... (sees that it's the Blue's flag)...Simmons, get the Warthog.

Simmons: Heh, you mean the Puma?

Grif: Yeah, keep making jokes. That'll win the war.
