Fade in to Blood Gulch with the Blue team debating over which Red to kill. An earthquake briefly occurs.

Tex: "Okay, pick one."

Church: "Anyone?"

Tex: "Well, preferably one on that side of the canyon. But uh, I'm not all that choosy."

Tucker: "Why are you looking at me when you say that?"

Tex: "No reason... just pick one and take the shot. I'll cover you if they attack."

Alpha: "Uh...I will too."

Church: "You mean, shoot them with this?"

Church raises his sniper rifle.

Tex: "What else?"

Alpha: "Oh my god...and I just realized what Tex just said."

Tex: "What?"

Tucker: "Heheh, he's really not that great with that thing."

Tex: "Give me a break. You're a soldier."

Church: "Yeah well that's debatable."

Tex: "Hit the rock over there."

Church: "Okay."

Church takes two shots at a rock with the sniper rifle, but misses both shots.

Alpha: "Wow."

Tex: "Ugh..."

Church: "Ya see, I think the uh.. the sun reflected off the rock face there and.."

Tex: "Just gimme the damn rifle."

Church: "Yeah okay. Thanks."

Cut to Donut and Lopez, the latter of which is still maroon.

Donut: "Hey Simmons, did you hear that?"

Lopez: "Sí. Sonó como un rifle." [Yes. It sounded like a rifle.]

Donut: "I'm sure it's nothing."

Lopez: "¿Por qué dices eso? Ésta es una zona de guerra." [Why would you say that? This is a war zone.]

Donut: "Good point Simmons. Back to work!"

Cut back to Blue team where Tex now has the sniper rifle.

Tucker: "Dude, this has to be embarrassing for you."

Church: "I don't really want to talk about it."

Tex: "Alright come on, it's not that hard. Which one should we take out? The pink one, the orange one.."

Caboose: "Pretty sure he's yellow."

Alpha: "It's orange."

Caboose: "Oh."

Tex: "Is it me, or does he seem a little slow?"

Tucker: "Yeah, Caboose was held back a grade. Or two."

Tex: "I meant the orange one."

Tucker: "Ohohoh, yeah he's just fat."

Tex: "What about the red one? I mean, he's the leader, he seems tough. Or maybe the maroon one? He looks like he's up to something."

Church: "Yeah, I don't know? I can't really decide which one. Maybe we should put it to a vote."

Tex: "You know what, screw it! The maroon one is closest, we'll just shoot him."
