LT.NICOX

Stiglitz, right?



STIGLITZ

That's right, sir.

He continues bringing the blades edge, up, then, down on the

leather strap.



LT.HICOX

I hear your pretty good with that?

Meaning the blade. Stiglitz doesn't answer.



LT.HICOX

You know, we're not looking for

trouble, right now. We're simply

making contact with our agent.

Should be uneventful. However, on

the off chance I'm wrong, and things

prove eventful. I need to know, we can

all remain calm.



The renegade Gerry Sergeant, stops his blades progress, and

looks up at the limy Lieutenant.



STIGLITZ

I don't look calm to you?



LT.HICOX

Well, now you put it like that,

I guess you do.

He turns his attention back to his blade.

Hicox moves over to Aldo, and asks him privately;



LT. HI COX

This Gerry of yours, Stiglitz?

Not exactly the loquacious type,

is he?

Aldo just looks at him.


LT.ALDO

Is that the kinds man you need, the

loquacious type?
